Mila’s heart fluttered with a twinge of unease as she nervously asked,
“Nate, are you incapable?”FindNovel.netNathan’s expression darkened, his brow furrowing. This question
wounded a man’s pride, especially when it came from someone he
deeply loved. He paused for a long moment, unsure of how to respond.
Mila was taken aback. “Seriously?”Nathan felt a heaviness in his chest. He took a deep breath before
replying firmly, “Don’t try to provoke me. It won’t work.”Mila felt her cheeks burning with embarrassment. At the same time, she
was astonished at how calm Nathan remained.She couldn’t comprehend the reason behind Nathan’s refusal and grew
frustrated. “Didn’t you say you liked me? You’ve had a crush on me
since childhood. Were you lying all this time?”Nathan released her, moving her hands away from him and stepping
back, creating distance between them. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ (F)indN(o)vᴇl.nᴇtHis expression was grim as he spoke, “Yes, I care for you deeply. I love
you. I want to be with you. But what about you? Do you like me? Do
you want to be with me?”Milas heart raced with nervous anticipation as she nodded, whispering,
“Yes, I do.”Nathan barely caught her response, his anger flaring instantly. He
countered, “What kind of like is it? Is it driven by physical desire or the
affection for a neighborly brother?”Confused, Mila asked, “Is there a difference?”Nathan pressed further, “Would you stay for me? Stay in Norvania and
be with me?”Mila felt overwhelmed and conflicted. Not again, she thought. She was
already searching for a solution. Yet, this path would be too harsh for
Nathan.If successful, she would return to Norvania with their child. If it failed,
she and the child would remain in Sunterland, while Nathan would
endure the agony of separation alone in Norvania.Mila’s touch was gentle as she clasped Nathan’s arm, her gaze
meeting his handsome features. Her voice carried a soft, soothing tone.
“Nate, I too wish to stay in Norvania, but I cannot decide for myself. I
must return.””No need to say more,” Nathan said as he shrugged off her hand. He
turned away with a sense of loss and headed toward the study. Ads by PubFuture
Mila hurried after him, her hands outstretched to halt him. She tried
hard to suppress her inner turmoil.With a tinge of grievance, she pleaded, “Nate, this is my only wish right
now. Can’t you grant it for me?”Nathan sighed bitterly and avoided her imploring gaze. He couldn’t
bear to witness her in this state of pleading affection.Her heart ached, and anger flared with his indifference and rejection.
Tears pooled in her eyes.“I don’t even care about my innocence, and I’m a woman. I’m willing to
be with you, yet you still reject me. Do you even like me? What is it that
troubles you?”Nathan fell silent for a few seconds before coldly instructing, “Go back.
Now.”“I won’t!” Mila protested.Unable to bear it any longer, Nathan grabbed her arm and pulled her
closer, towering over her.His eyes reddened. Nathan’s voice strained with anguish as if each
word caused him immense pain. “Chubs, how long will you continue to
torment me?”Mila was stunned, tears shimmering in her eyes.Nathan’s tone turned to fury. “Do you think the pain you’ve caused me
by leaving isn’t enough? Now you want to leave me with more
bittersweet memories, giving me another reason to suffer sleepless
nights for the rest of my life?”Mila shook her head as tears streamed down her cheeks. She felt as
though her heart was being torn apart. The thought of him suffering so
deeply made her pain unbearable.Observing her silent tears, Nathan’s heart shattered. His eyes were
bloodshot, his words laden with despair.“I want to marry you more than any other man in this world. I long to be
with you, to share my bed with you, to watch every sunrise and sunset
by your side.”
