Chapter 463 Out of Gratitude for Saving Her Life
Suddenly, Nathaniel grabbed Janet’s hand, his face turning as cold as ice. “Janet, you
can trust me.
“I admit that I overlooked you in the past, and the more I’ve uncovered recently, the more uneasy I feel. I know I can’t undo the mistakes I made, but I want to compensate you as much as I can.”
If time could turn back, Nathaniel would have tightly held Janet’s hand at her most vulnerable moment, assuring her that there were still people in this world she could rely on.
Nathaniel’s eyes were like a sea filled with pain and regret, silently conveying his faint affection.
Janet looked through Nathaniel’s eyes and, illuminated by the soft light of the overhead lamp, she saw herself reflected in them.
She saw herself, beaming with a shallow smile, living a happy and peaceful life, marrying the one she loved, and having a fulfilling family.
She wouldn’t have to carry hatred and walk in the shadows of hidden arrows, nor would she be scarred by love.
Janet’s gaze concentrated and then dispersed, as a faint smile played on her lips.
That was the life she had once yearned for—a life that seemed so simple yet was incredibly difficult to achieve.
Nathaniel was captivated by Janet’s smile, gentle and charming, just like the day they were married.
Nathaniel became intoxicated, feeling as if the whole world had brightened up.

Nathaniel’s eyes sparkled like stars, two flickering flames of deep affection.
Janet lowered her eyes and suddenly said, “You’ve found out quite a lot of things recently, haven’t you?”

“In that case, do you think that the reason I married you was solely out of gratitude for saving my life?”
Nathaniel hadn’t expected Janet to bring up this question. For a moment, he felt a bit slow and was at a loss for words.
Janet slammed the teacup onto the coffee table with a loud thud, her gaze fixed on Nathaniel’s face, staring directly at him.
“So, are you planning to help me again this time, hoping that I will fall for you once more?
“Nathaniel, you’re making everything too simple, and you’re underestimating me.”
Janet’s words were straightforward and to the point.
He didn’t mean it!
“Janet, it’s not what you think!”
