The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

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

Gourmet Spot.

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.noveldrama

Nate hardly touched his meal, not from a lack of hunger but due to his selective tastes.

After eating, Corrine sipped her water and asked, "When did you arrive?"

"Got back at ten this morning," Nate responded smoothly.

A subtle smile flickered in Corrine's eyes.

He probably got the news on his way from the airport and came straight to Modern Square to meet her.

Feeling considered is something every woman cherishes, and Corrine was certainly no different.

Just then, Nate's phone chimed with a notification, causing his brow to crease. Noticing the change, the smile in Corrine's eyes wavered. "Something wrong?" "The company has got a situation with the shipment at the port," Nate explained. "You seem to have your hands in many ventures here in Lyhaton, don't you?" Corrine asked.

“From real estate to showbiz and transport, you name it,” Nate said. “Though, these are just segments of my

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?"

Corrine was genuinely curious about what sort of place the Independent Continent was.

Her previous attempts to gather information had been fruitless. Enveloped in secrecy and protected by one of the most sophisticated security systems globally,

it remained an enigma, closed off from external prying,

However, the obscurity only fueled her curiosity more.

“It's rather unremarkable. One day, I'll show you around,” he added casually.

His casual manner suggested the topic was of little significance. This piqued a deeper curiosity in Corrine's

heart.

"Have you had enough to eat?" Nate asked, his expression carrying an unintentional warmth.

She nodded and dabbed at her lips with a napkin, her gaze intently following his movements.

"How about a visit to the port?" he asked.

Corrine hesitated, choosing her words carefully. "Wouldn't that be a bit inconvenient?"

Without explaining further, Nate rose, approached her, and grasped her hand,

guiding her toward the exit.
