Chapter 76 I Don’t Want To

Wait Anymore

“Nate!” Corrine cried out and playfully punched Nate’s chest.

Her hand caught by him unexpectedly, he said, “Corrine, I truly love you.”

Corrine was dumbfounded by his sudden declaration, nervously retreating her hand and pretending to fix her already neat hair.

Yet Nate persisted, enveloping her in his arms and drawing her close.

He nestled his face into the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply, cherishing the closeness. Whispering right beside her ear, he admitted, “This might surprise you, but I’m equally astounded. My love for you has grown far more than I ever thought possible since just yesterday.”

Rooted to the spot, Corrine’s eyes widened in shock.

With a gentle touch, Nate caressed her cheek, his thumb grazing her lips, his anticipation clear as he leaned in for a soft kiss.

The coolness of his breath snapped Corrine out of her daze.

She finally met his earnest, intense look.

Feeling suddenly overwhelmed, she quickly looked away and tried to push him back.

Despite her efforts, Nate’s hold tightened around her waist, securing her close to him.

He admired the blush that colored her cheeks, his heart racing as he said, “Corrine, I can’t wait any longer.”

A wave of panic surged through Corrine, and she only managed to say, “Nate…”

Interrupting her, Nate’s hand cradled the back of her head, and he claimed her lips with a passionate, unyielding kiss.

He inhaled deeply, his kiss exploring with a passion that seemed to fill the very air between them.

Her mind cleared of all thoughts, Corrine was swept up in the unexpected intensity of the kiss, feeling as if fate itself had ordained their lips to meet.

As Nate’s embrace tightened, a spark of clarity returned to Corrine, and she mustered her strength to break away.

He was close, his dark eyes burning with an intensity that sent her heart into a frenzy, as though he intended to consume her entirely.

Nate’s fingers gently but firmly held her chin, compelling her to look at him. He whispered softly, their foreheads touching, “Corrine, I don’t regret what just happened.”

Corrine’s lips pressed tightly together, her breath held in an effort to quell her inner turmoil. “You said you wouldn’t force me.”
