The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130 Find Out For

Yourself

As Corrine almost finished the lollipop in her hand, the road they were walking on gradually came to its end.

For the first time, she found herself wishing that a road could stretch on forever.

Back in the car, she held the lollipop stick loosely in one hand while fumbling with her

seatbelt in the other.

Before she could manage it, Nate leaned over, his hand brushing hers as he grabbed the

seatbelt and clicked it into place.

Their faces were so close their eyes naturally met, each reflecting the other’s features. Their breaths mingled in the small space between them.

A subtle tension hung in the air, filling the car with an almost palpable sense of

romance.

Corrine’s mind drifted back to their earlier kiss, her lips pressing together instinctively

as a faint blush crept across her cheeks.

“I got you that lollipop,” Nate said, his deep voice smooth and magnetic, his gaze fixed on the shine of her slightly parted lips.

Corrine blinked in surprise, momentarily caught off guard. “How much was it? I’ll pay you back.”

Nate didn’t answer right away. His brow furrowed slightly as he continued watching

her, his silence louder than words.

Corrine noticed his focus lingering on her lips, and a sudden memory surfaced–the little girl kissing her father on the cheek as a thank–you for a treat. Was that what he

Corrine’s eyes flickered with hesitation before she lowered her gaze, leaning in slowly

But just as her lips neared, Nate turned his head unexpectedly.

Corrine froze as her lips landed on his cool, firm ones instead.

This kiss wasn’t like the fleeting one they shared earlier on the street. It was deep and lingering, pulling her in like a tide she couldn’t escape.

Before she could think to pull away, Nate’s arm slipped around her neck, holding her in place as he deepened the kiss further.

“Breathe.” Nate’s low, husky voice caressed her ear, sending shivers down Corrine’s spine as she was lost in the moment.

Like a puppet on strings, she clumsily and awkwardly tried to obey, her breath uneven and shallow.

Nate inhaled her sweet, intoxicating scent, a fragrance that was both alluring and addictive, igniting an ache he couldn’t ignore.

He kissed her softly, savoring the taste of her, until he felt himself teetering on the edge of control, forcing himself to reluctantly let her go.

Corrine’s cheeks carried a delicate flush, her clear eyes shimmering like morning dew, her lips slightly swollen and enticing.

The blend of innocence and unintentional allure stirred something dark and primal deep within Nate, a temptation he struggled to suppress.

Brushing his restless thoughts aside, he lightly touched her cheek, his voice deep and steady. “Where to?”

Without hesitation or pretense, Corrine gave him an address, her voice calm but her heart racing.

As they drove, Karina’s message lit up Corrine’s phone with a soft ping, catching her
