M suppressed her émotions as she clenched his fists. After she calmed down, she asked, ” Between


    me and Fenna, who would you choose?”


    Nathan replied without hesitation, “I choose you.”


    “Then why did you treat me like that yesterday?” M used him with a teary look, “Even when


    Fenna said those things to me, you didn’t help me. You agreed with what she said.”


    Nathan said, “I’m sorry.”


    “I don’t ept your apology,” M replied coldly. Then, she turned and left.


    “Chubs…” Nathan sighed, his heart shattering.


    He quickly caught up to her and hugged her tightly from behind. He used all his strength to prevent her


    from leaving.


    M was stunned. Her heart pounded even harder.


    Nathan pressed his face against her neck. His voice had a slight tremble as he said, “I want to be with


    you. I want to be your partner, a proper one. That’s why I let Fenna pressure you.


    “When you were upset, I wasn’t indifferent either, I was also in pain,” Nathan said as he closed his


    eyes.


    He held her tighter, his voice choked with emotions, “But I want to know if I mean anything to you. I


    want to know if you would be sad because of me.”


    M wiped away her tears in secret.


    Nathan felt a painful ache in his chest and sighed softly. His warm breath sprayed on M’s neck,


    making her skin itch. Her body felt weak, and her knees almost buckled.


    She said, “I’ve told you before, if I can sessfully return to Norvania to work, we will get married. Isn’t


    that a promise?”


    Nathan wished he could cage her in his heart. He hugged her tightly and closed his eyes to seek


    sce from her.


    “Chubs, do you love me?” Nathan felt insecure as he continued to ask, “Do you really want to marry


    me?”


    M felt like her body was almost being crushed by him. She felt ufortable as she spoke softly, “I


    can’t promise you anything right now.”


    “I can wait,” he replied softly


    “Then…” M was shy, so she lowered her head. She continued as she was unhappy, “You won’t touch


    me again in the future?”


    A little confused, Nathan opened his eyes and slowly looked at the back of her head. He gazed at her


    flushed cheeks and ears. “I’m hugging you right now, why would you think I won’t touch you?”


    M felt resentful as she said, “You just said that this kind of thing won’t happen again in the


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    future.”


    Nathan was stunned. He felt a bit confused. He was referring to not making her sad and upset again.


    He turned M to face him and looked down at her. “What are you talking about?” he asked. “Aboutst


    night,” M murmured. Even though she was full of grievances, she lost her confidence due to feelings


    of embarrassment.


    “Last night?” Nathan asked as he looked at her flushed cheeks. He couldn’t help but smile and asked


    again, “You remember?”


    M shook her head. She replied, “I don’t remember at all. Was it you who took the initiative, or was it


    me?”


    Nathan couldn’t help butugh. He pulled her into his arms and said softly, “It was you.”


    As expected, it was M who seduced Nathan.


    M felt guilty. She apologized, “I’m sorry, Nate.”


    Nathan remained calm andposed. He replied, “It’s okay. You just have to be responsible to


    me.”


    “I…” M was stunned as she was put in a bad spot. She pushed aside her previous grievances and


    sadness, slowly wrapping her arms around Nathan’s waist.


    She then leaned against his chest and said, “I can’t be responsible right now.”


    Nathan gently kissed her forehead. He said, “I’ll wait for you, whenever you’re ready.”
