The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1250:

Hearing this, Corrine finally understood what was going on.

She hadn’t kept this from him as well as she’d hoped.

But it made sense. With the Ford family being the wealthiest in Lyhaton, everyone was always watching. Even the smallest issue would be noticed, let alone Jayden’s suspension and investigation.

She smiled, took his hand, and gave it a playful rub. “I didn’t think it was something you needed to worry about.”

Nate’s face didn’t soften at her words. His brow remained furrowed, his jaw tight, still showing traces of his anger.

“Then tell me, what situation would be worth bothering me with?” he asked. His voice was flat, no emotion showing, but the way his tone rose at the end made her heart skip a beat.

Corrine swallowed hard, her lips parted to speak, but Nate cut her off. “I told you to let me know when something went wrong, didn’t I?”

She sighed inwardly. This time, she knew she was in the wrong.

Corrine nodded, looking like a child being lectured.

Seeing her lower her head, shrinking like a nervous bird, Nate’s brow furrowed just a bit more. His voice was cold as he asked, “Do you really think I’d leave you to deal with this alone? Or do you think I’m not good enough to support you?”

“It’s not what you think,” Corrine said quickly.noveldrama

The situation had caught her off guard, and her first thought was to look into it right away. Everything after that had been driven by her instincts, and she knew, to some extent, she had been selfish in not wanting Nate involved.

She tugged at his sleeve, slowly lifting her head to meet his eyes. “I’m sorry, I…”

Before she could finish, Nate grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her in for a kiss.

His kiss was demanding and intense, with a touch of frustration, his teeth biting her lip as if he was trying to teach her a lesson.

But when he attempted to bite harder, he couldn’t go through with it. Frustrated, he could only suck on her lips.

Corrine felt like she couldn’t breathe, pounding his chest with her fists before Nate finally pulled away.

He looked down at her, his gaze sharp and commanding.

Noticing her swollen lips, he lightly brushed them with his thumb, wiping away the remnants of their kiss. “Don’t let this happen again.”

Corrine met his eyes and nodded, agreeing without a word.

As Nate took her hand and led her outside, she couldn’t help but ask, “Where are we going?”

Nate glanced at her with a blank expression. “To do what a fiancé should.”

Corrine was left confused.

“Aren’t you trying to see your uncle?” he asked.
