The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1003:

It looked like a burly man in a tutu—odd and amusing.

“Shall we go up and have a look?” Nate asked.

Corrine nodded, taking his hand as they made their way onto the deck. They passed the lounge, skirted around the cabin, and went straight to the dining area.

The white table was set with elegant dishes and an extravagant candelabra.

Corrine raised an eyebrow. “A candlelit dinner?”

“Is it not to your liking?” Nate asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty. It was the first time he had ever proposed to a woman, and he felt somewhat out of his depth. He had gone to Moses for advice.

But when Moses suggested something too elaborate, Nate had decided to keep it simple with a candlelit dinner.

Corrine walked over to the table, picked up a red rose without much thought, sniffed it lightly, and tucked it behind her ear. “I didn’t expect this from you,” she remarked.

“What made you want to propose to me all of a sudden?” Corrine asked. She had always believed the proposal would come only after Carl accepted him.

Nate looked up at her, a small smile tugging at his lips. “Since I plan to take you to the Independent Continent, you won’t just be my girlfriend anymore.”noveldrama

He wanted everyone to know that he was Corrine’s solid support.

But more than that, he hoped that during their time together, Corrine would never feel envious of others and that every moment with him would be full of joy and meaning.

A flicker of surprise crossed Corrine’s face. “You’re so thoughtful, I don’t even know how to reciprocate.”

“It’s easy,” Nate said with a grin. “Just give yourself to me.”

But as soon as Corrine heard those words, her mind wandered to some rather heated thoughts. Her cheeks turned pink, and she quickly lowered her gaze, focusing on her meal.
