Chapter 1607
Chapter 1607:
While they were conversing, Nate drew near.
His eyes met Corrine’s, and although they said nothing, their silent exchange was profound.
Corrine rose from her seat, brushing off her skirt. “It’s getting late. | need to...”
“Sure,” Rachel said.
Once settled in the car, Corrine leaned against Nate's shoulder, looking weary. “Are the Astleys really unhappy
with the marriage?”
During dinner, Franco tried to reassure her, primarily out of deference to Nate, making his assurances somewhat
suspect.
Corrine was fully aware of the Astley family’s stature; they certainly didn’t regard the Fords as equals.
Even in their decline, the Astleys would not consider an alliance with the Fords. The disparity in their social
standings was too vast to overcquickly; it would take generations to bridge such a divide.
Nate leaned in, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead, his voice resonating deeply. “At this stage, does anyone's

Only two weeks remained before Jules and Rachel’s wedding. Invitations had already been sent. Both families
had made their announcements. Things had reached a point where no one could back out without consequence.
Canceling the wedding over mere dissatisfaction wasn’t an option. Such a decision would tarnish the Ford
family’s reputation, and the Astley family couldn't bear the repercussions either.
Noticing Corrine’s sudden quiet, Nate took her hand, reassuring her. “Ultimately, it’s their life, and we're merely
spectators.”
Love, after all, is about the individuals involved; its success or failure depends on their combined efforts. It
remains beyond the influence of outsiders.
“So, was today’s meeting with Franco meant to smooth things over for the Fords?” Corrine asked, opening her
eyes wide with curiosity.
Nate answered, “Should you need anything in Nelting, Franco is your go-to.” He gently brushed a stray hair from
her cheek. “He’ll take care of everything for you.”

With the conversation heading in this direction, Corrine responded without hesitation, “Got it.”
After a brief pause, she inquired, “Does the Independent Continent use a unique script?”
“Hmm?” Nate's interest was piqued. “Have you stumbled upon something intriguing?”
Pulling out her phone, Corrine showed him a photo she had zoomed in on. “These symbols were on the hairpin.”
Nate inspected it closely. “These seem to be ancient scripts from the Independent Continent.”
Corrine’s eyes brightened with interest. “So you recognize it?”
"Most of these symbols have been
