The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139 Who Do You

Think You Are

Matias, seated in the driver’s seat, averted his gaze from the unexpected display of

affection before him.

Following his instinct for discretion, he quietly closed his eyes.

Though Corrine had always carried herself with careful restraint, an overwhelming urge to kiss Nate had coursed through her veins at that moment.

Without hesitation, she had surrendered to her heart’s desire.

The remnants of her lipstick now adorned his lips, adding an unexpected touch of

warmth to his typically aloof features.

Nate’s eyes held Corrine’s gaze, brimming with unspoken emotion.

Her lips curved into a gentle smile as she looked at him, her eyes shimmering with newfound confidence. “Nate, thank you for standing beside me during my darkest

hours.”

The words of gratitude had lingered in her heart for a long time, though she remained

uncertain of his thoughts at that precious moment.

“Every time before, you watched me walk away. Today, let me be the one to see you off,” she murmured, her eyes never leaving his face.

Nate’s eyebrow arched slightly as his fingertips traced the corner of his mouth, savoring the lingering sensation of their kiss. “Are you finding it difficult to bid me.

farewell?”

“Yes,” she answered with disarming honesty, leaving him momentarily at a loss for

words.

He studied her face intently, and then a smile tugged at his lips. “I’ll return for you after work tonight.”

“Okay.” She stepped backward, waving as the distance between them grew.

As his car gradually disappeared from view, a familiar emptiness crept into her heart.

Only when the vehicle had completely vanished did she release a soft sigh and turn toward her office.

“Corrine, don’t you owe me an explanation?” A harsh voice stopped her in her tracks.

Upon turning to face Bruce, the warmth in her expression cooled, her eyes taking on a steely glint.

With practiced nonchalance, she arched an eyebrow. “In what capacity are you demanding answers, Mr. Ashton? As my former boyfriend?”

“We’ve barely ended things, and you’re already throwing yourself at another man. I never imagined you could stoop so low!” Bruce’s eyes filled with disappointment, as though she had betrayed their shared history.

Noting his accusatory stare, Corrine’s lips twisted into a sardonic smile. “As you pointed out, we’re no longer together. My life choices are not your concern. Should I put my existence on pause to honor our failed relationship?”

“You!” Bruce gaped at her, struggling to process this transformation.
