The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304 Backfired On Him

A faint twitch crossed Nate’s brow, and after a momentary pause, he released a heavy breath. “You’re really

driving me crazy.”

With narrowed eyes and a teasing grin, Corrine responded, “Are you flipping this on me?”

Wasn’t he the one who refused to let her go? Now he seemed to suggest she was to blame..

“Seems like it backfired on me,” Nate murmured, his fingers lightly tracing Corrine’s lips. “What are you in the

mood for?”

Her response was light. “Just something simple.”

For Corrine, simple meant something she could whip up herself. Nate, on the other hand, had grander notions of simplicity.

Sitting in the restaurant, Corrine observed the exquisite dishes before her, each adorned with the emblem of

She planned to cook, but Nate had taken the initiative with these arrangements, leaving her feeling like she had taken advantage of him.

The soft, amber light filled the space with a warm, inviting ambiance.

As she ate, Corrine occasionally glanced up into Nate’s deep, dark eyes.

grandmother’s vast holdings,” he said casually.

The business was his grandmother’s? And it was separate from the dealings of the Hopkins family?

Intrigued, Corrine raised her eyebrows. “And what about your own enterprises?”

With a thoughtful gaze, Nate responded, “They’re primarily based in the Independent Continent.”

He was open with Corrine about his affairs.

Once she became his wife, Corrine would need to relocate with him to that place.

“Anything particular about that place?”
