Phoebe walked past Cole after she said her piece. Cole stood there, feeling sad and helpless. When he finally turned around, Phoebe was already far 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, "I'm not in a good mood right now. I'll explain when I feel better."

Mila sighed. She felt even worse than he did.

Jacob had mistreated her, but Nathan took his side. He even accused her of slacking off at work. But she knew she couldn't let her anger take over without knowing the whole story.

After a moment of silence, Mila gently kissed Nathan's cheek. "Are you feeling better now?"

Nathan smiled softly. "Somewhat. But I still feel like something's missing."

Her cheeks reddened, and she looked away, feeling a bit embarrassed. "I wasn't overthinking. Are you going to explain to me what just happened?"

Nathan noticed that she was about to feel upset, so he stopped teasing her. He hugged Mila and leaned against the couch.

Mila snuggled up against his chest. Feeling Nathan's heartbeat and the warmth of his embrace, all her jealousy and anger disappeared.

"Do you value your family or hydronium more?" Nathan asked gently.

"Family comes first," Mila replied without hesitation.

Nathan agreed with a hum. He whispered in her ear, "I'm setting a trap to catch an important target."
