Nathan froze instantly. Suzanne was drenched in cold sweat as she
shivered.
Maybe he had done it out of pity, but Nathan didn’t resist her touch nor hesitate to cover her hands over her ears again..
The next second, he seemed to hear the faint sound of crying. –
The soft sobbing sounds were coming from the woman in his arms. It was shaky and frightened, like a wounded kitten alone in the wild.
Nathan could sense that Suzanne really was scared of such terrible weather and the loud sounds of thunder.
It was the first time Nathan had been embraced in such a way by a woman. Suzanne’s body was soft and supple. She exuded a faint fragrance too.
Nathan could feel his heart and his body react to this touch. He knew he shouldn’t have such inappropriate thoughts. Yet he couldn’t control his body. The desire he felt was unbearable.
It was the first time Nathan heard Suzanne cry. The sounds she made were too similar to Sally’s when she was a child.
The protective urge Nathan had hidden within him for ten years. suddenly arose.

Nathan had thought it was because he’d grown more distant now that he was older. He no longer had those innocent feelings he had when he was a child.

embrace.
Nathan didn’t push her away and even helped cover her ears because he was being a gentleman, probably
Suzanne slowly let go of him.
A sense of emptiness grew in Nathan’s chest when he felt the softness disappear from his waist. He put his hands down and said in a hoarse tone, “Are you okay now?”
Suzanne couldn’t see his expression, but he didn’t sound angry.
“I need to look for my earphones. Thunder will strike again.”
“Why are you afraid of the thunder?””
Suzanne’s voice trembled. “I don’t know. I always get nightmares of someone shoving my head into the ocean to drown me while a
thunderstorm goes on. It’s really scary. I get terrified.”
Nathan took out his phone and switched on the light. He then helped Suzanne search for the earphones near the bed.
Nathan spotted a pair of earphones with good soundproof

technology on the other side of a pillow.
He knelt on the bed and helped Suzanne put the earphones on.
Suzanne felt much more relaxed with the earphones on. She quickly took her phone and put on some music, dialing the volume up to the
max.
Suzanne curled up by the edge of the bed, wiping her tears.
Nathan used his phone light to look at the lightbulbs. He said slowly,” I’ll help you check the circuit board and see what caused the blackout.
Suzanne couldn’t hear him with her earphones on.
Nathan used the phone to light his way as he walked out the door.
Suzanne rushed over, grabbing his clothes. Her voice grew louder while wearing the earphones, “Don’t go, Nathan!”
