Chapter 1580
Chapter 1580:
Evelyn gave him a level look, entirely unbothered. “Corrine is level-headed, and | admire her for it. There's
nothing wrong with showing a little extra care where it's deserved.” She didn’t bristle at the question. If
anything, she seemed perfectly at ease in her reasoning.
“A man in your position shouldn’t coff as needy—it cheapens you.” Her tone remained light, but there was a
subtle bite beneath it.
Nate didn’t flinch. “You're showing her a lot of favoritism, Grandma. Sometimes | wonder if you remember that
I'm your grandson.”
Evelyn stared at him for a moment before bursting out laughing. The sound abruptly broke the tension that had
been brewing between them. “Corrine may be engaged to you, but | don’t think she’s in any rush to walk down
the aisle. If she’s content with the way things are, don’t stir the pot. Let her be. What matters is whether you're
both happy.”
That caught Nate off guard.
At the meal earlier, Evelyn had suggested a quick wedding—but now, she'd done a complete about-face.
“You change your mind fast, Grandma,” he said, the corners of his mouth lifting in a playful smirk.
His smile lingered, but his eyes flickered with something deeper—something more uncertain.

Evelyn returned his smile with serene calm, pretending not to notice the edge in his tone. “We thought it
through. If you're both at peace with things, marriage will cin its time.”
On top of that, it was obvious that the current situation wasn’t right for them to be married.
Nate asked, “Can you tellwhat's really going on between you and Carl? And what exactly is the path Corrine
has taken?”
Your imagination thrives at puntocom
The moment the question landed, Evelyn's eyes sharpened, and her fingers curled tighter into fists. “So, you
heard.”
Nate didn’t offer an explanation. Instead, he reached up and loosened his tie a bit with deliberate calm. “Do you
have anything to say about it?”
Evelyn turned toward the window, her expression unreadable as silence settled heavily between them.
Only after a long pause did she speak, her voice steady and sincere. “This isn’t the tto go into it. Ill explain
when the tcomes. Right now, what matters is keeping her safe. Don’t let her get hurt.”
“Of course,” Nate replied, nodding.
He didn’t need the reminder—his mind was already set on protecting Corrine, with or without Evelyn's urging.
