Chapter 32 Eventually,
You’ll Be Mine
Corrine struggled to find the right words, her expression a blend of irritation and embarrassment.
“If it pleases you, Corrine, that’s all I aim to do,” Nate said with sincerity.
“You…” Corrine started but couldn’t find the words. With a sigh of defeat, she said, “Alright, if it makes you
happy.”
Nate’s face lit up with a satisfied grin upon hearing her words. “I might have arrived too late to spend every day and night with you before, but I’m here now, and I plan to stay for life.”
“I haven’t said yes to anything yet,” Corrine replied.
“I’m aware,” Nate responded, his eyes softening as he admired the slight blush coloring her cheeks. “Yet, I believe that eventually, you will be mine.”
His statement, brimming with confident assurance, overwhelmed Corrine.
She blushed deeper, gently pushing him away as she quickly said good night, and then turned and left without a backward glance.
Nate remained where he was, a slight smile forming as he watched her leave hastily.
Closing the door behind her, Corrine leaned against it, her heart racing.
From a young age, she had been instructed on how to express love toward others. Nate was the first to teach. her that she, too, deserved to be loved.
He appeared to offer her many options, yet subtly removed any chance of retreat, leaving her no choice but to
decide.
Around Nate, Corrine couldn’t help but feel drawn to him, a deep blend of frustration and surrender washing
over her.
Massaging her temples, she lay down, staring into the night, lost in her thoughts.
Time slipped by unnoticed until she finally fell asleep.
As dawn’s light crept in, the world slowly stirred to life.
After freshening up, Corrine stepped out of her room and noticed Evelyn in the living room. She quickly approached, saying, “Good morning.”
“Corrine, morning. How was your sleep last night?” Evelyn asked with a sly smile, her gaze penetrating as if
searching for clues in Corrine’s demeanor.
Corrine swept a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “I slept quite well, thank you.”
As Nate entered from outside, his eyes instinctively searched for Corrine.
Her hair was casually tied back, with a few loose strands framing her face, adding to her effortless charm.
The gentle curves of her face accentuated her beauty, her eyes glimmered with intrigue, and her lips caught Nate’s attention, completely captivating him.
His fleeting glance was enough to take in her quiet elegance and charm.
“Now that you’re here, why don’t we start with breakfast?” Evelyn suggested, as Nate paused in the doorway.
jolted from his reverie, Nate tightened his grip on a small tube of green ointment he was holding and moved. inside. “Sounds good.”
Nate gestured for Corrine to sit before he himself sat down, pulling her chair out for her as she offered a
thankful smile.
He gently nudged her chair closer to the table as she settled in, their actions smooth and in sync.
