Chapter 1683:
Still stunned, a warmth stirred inside her—the feeling of being deeply cherished. Now she truly understood what
it felt like to be caught off guard by love.
“I was sure my surprise would leave you speechless,” Nate murmured, slipping his fingers between hers. “But
after what you did, | started second-guessing myself. Roses speak in more than just colors. Each one says
something I've been wanting to tell you. So | brought them all home.”
Corrine turned to him, her eyes bright with delight. “No wonder | couldn't find any roses today. You bought the
whole city’s supply.” She had planned to buy him a bouquet, but the florist had told her they were sold out early
that morning.
“Now, every single one of them is yours,” Nate said.
Corrine arched an eyebrow, playfully. “Just the roses?”
“I'm yours too.”
“Roses bloom for a season. Do you cwith an expiration date?”
“How about a lifetime?”
That night, there was no passionate whirlwind—just the quiet comfort of two hearts resting close, wrapped in
each other's presence. Nate pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead, his voice low and tender.
“Goodnight, my love.”
“Goodnight.”
The next morning, sunlight sifted through the thick canopy outside, slipping between the curtains and painting
shifting patches of light across the plush carpet.
Corrine stirred awake, blinking against the glow as she stretched with a yawn—only to bump into warm skin
behind her. Normally, Nate would have been long out of bed by now.
But seeing him still fast asleep, brow faintly creased, she gently slid his arm off her and reached toward the

The grand gestures of love declarations from the night before still dominated online chatter. Now that people had
sidea of who Nate was, speculation swirled around the identity of the person who orchestrated these
gestures.
As luck would have it, someone had snapped a grainy photo of Corrine and Nate sharing a kiss beneath the
tower. The image was unfocused, but the filter over it bathed everything in a soft, cinematic haze.
In the comments, wild guesses flew about Corrine’s identity—and all that buzz dragged a spotlight her way. So,
by the tmorning rolled around, her phone was already brimming with messages. Whatnotifications
piled up, most of them digging into her relationship status.
Her engagement to Nate had been quiet, almost deliberately low-key. It hadn't been for lack of effort on Nate's
part—Corrine simply didn’t like the fuss.
But now, with curious eyes everywhere, Karina jumped at the chance to needle her.
“Sun’s high and you're still in bed? Must have been a long, long night.”
Corrine clicked on the first voice message, only to have the rest autoplay.
“So, how many rounds did you and Nate go? What was the tper round?”
Her brow twitched hard enough to ache.
Karina was definitely asking to be blocked.
What kind of nonsense was this to wake up to?
In a scramble, Corrine jabbed at the pause button—only for her finger to misfire and trigger repeat instead. The
teasing echoed again, a light static hum trailing Karina's words.
Mortified, Corrine curled her toes under the blanket, her lips pressed into a firm line as she shoved her phone
beneath the pillow and went still, straining to hear sounds behind her.
That breathing...
She turned, stiff and slow, meeting Nate's dark eyes.
He was propped up on one arm, lying on his side, watching her with that smirking glint in his eyes.
Corrine’s throat bobbed. Her smile cout tight, uneven. “M-Morning.”
She tried to leave, flipping the blanket back in one swift move. But before she could swing her legs over, Nate's
arm hooked around her waist and pulled her back into the warmth of the bed.
“What was the tper round?” Nate's eyes dropped to her, one brow arched, a teasing curve tugging at his
lips. His voice dropped to a rich, deliberate drawl, laced with playful seduction. “Any plans on how you're going
to answer that?”

night—but no one WAS belieuelher if

Corrine lowered her face, only for Nate to tilt her chin up, gently forcing eye contact. “Why so quiet?”
How was she supposed to answer that? Could someone, anyone, help her out?
With a quick, awkward cough, Corrine used it as cover to push him back. “I'm going to be late for work.”

As he grabbed his toothbrush, he leaned down and murmured, “Next time, let's tit.”
She was too stunned to respond.
Tit? Seriously?
This guy didn’t know when to quit. If they ever did tit, he'd run her into the ground.
In a flash, Friday arrived.
