Chapter 501
Phoebe walked past Cole after she said her piece. Cole stood there, feeling sad and helpless. When he finally turned around, Phoebe was already fa away.

Mila went into Nathan’s office lounge and sat on the couch. She looked surprisingly calm as she stared at him.

Nathan got her a glass of water and sat beside her. “Take a sip and relax,” he said gently.

After drinking some water, Mila put the glass down and waited quietly for him to explain. Nathan gently placed her hand on his thigh, stroking it. Mila unintentionally frowned, looking at Nathan’s calm face and then at her hand on his.

“Do you enjoy touching my hand?” she asked.

Nathan sighed. “We’re newlyweds, but you won’t let me hold you, or kiss you, or even see you. And now you won’t let me touch your hand?” Mila suddenly realized she was being unreasonable. Her anger had stemmed from jealousy toward Fenna.

“If you want to hold my hand, go ahead. But don’t you think I deserve a reasonable explanation for what just happened?” Mila asked softly. Nathan looked at her and replied, “l’m not in a good mood right now. I’ll explain when I feel better.”
