Chapter 1649:
Nate looked at her intently, swallowing down a surge of emotion.
“Is missing you a valid reason?”
Corrine faced him with a smile.
“Of course it is.”
A gentle smile appeared on Nate's lips as he drew her close.
As he leaned in, Corrine’s eyelashes fluttered with apprehension, and she murmured,
“Let’s not do anything here in the garden!”
Nate raised an eyebrow playfully, his eyes twinkling with mischief.
“So, does that mean there's somewhere else we can do whatever we want?”
Corrine was momentarily speechless.
How exactly was she supposed to respond to that question?
“Con, I'll show you something interesting.” Choosing not to answer directly, she changed the subject.

Hadn't he already been there before?
What was so fascinating about it now?
But Nate simply nodded, taking her hand in his without waiting for a reply, guiding her toward the exit of the
garden.
Corrine’s bedroom carried a soft warmth, decorated in muted pastel yellow paired with crisp white. There was
none of the sugary pink often favored by other young women, nor the extravagant displays of wealth seen in
many elite homes.
Under the gentle glow of the lights, the room gave off a calm, soothing comfort.
As soon as they stepped inside, Corrine instinctively shut the door behind them, feeling a bit nervous.

against the floor loudly.
