Chapter 1277:
Once it was over, Corrine walked out alongside Nate.
Rowan watched them leave and exchanged a knowing look with Moses. A smirk played at the corner of his lips. “What’s going on here? Is Nate actually serious about her?”
“Since when has Nate not been serious?” Moses raised an eyebrow, the elegant curve drawing attention to the beauty mark beneath his eye. He paused before adding, “He already proposed.”
Rowan was taken aback by the revelation. “That’s unexpected.”
For years, speculation about a union between the Hopkins and Quinn families had circulated. Many believed Elva was Ralph’s intended future granddaughter-in-law, a rumor so persistent it seemed inevitable. Since Nate had never denied it, Rowan assumed he had accepted the arrangement.
Who would have guessed he’d propose to someone else?
“Trust me, there are more surprises to come,” Moses said, giving Rowan a firm pat on the shoulder. “Want to grab a drink?”
Rowan nodded. “Let’s do it!”noveldrama
Corrine had initially planned to head back to Celtis Estate with Nate, but midway through the drive, she received a call from Jules. “Are you coming back to the Ford family home tonight?” he asked.
Something about his tone unsettled Corrine. “Is something wrong?” she asked.
Jules took a slow drag of his cigarette before responding, “Someone spilled the truth about my dad’s condition. Grandpa fainted when he heard. He’s resting now. Do you want to come see him?”

Before she could say a word, he had already signaled Saul to change course toward the Ford Mansion.
When they arrived at the gates, Corrine leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to Nate’s lips.
She meant for it to be brief, but he caught the nape of her neck, his other arm wrapping firmly around her waist.
The kiss deepened, the air between them thick with heat and urgency. It wasn’t until Corrine’s tongue went numb and she began gasping for air that Nate finally pulled back.
His dark eyes held a smoldering intensity, a fire of long-hidden passion burning inside him, almost consuming them both. “Be sure to get some rest when you arrive home.”
His voice was low, husky, laced with lingering desire.
Corrine’s eyelashes trembled subtly. “You should as well.”
Nate’s arm remained around her, his fingers tracing slow circles along her waistline. He buried his face against the curve of her neck, inhaling her scent before placing a lingering kiss on her cheek. “Should I pick you up tomorrow?”
“There’s no need…” Her voice faltered as warmth from his breath sent a shiver down her spine. “I’ll make my way to the office myself in the morning.”
