NovelApexChapter 1238: If anything, he was even more relentless than before, as though he wanted to take everything from her.
As she felt the ache in her waist and limbs, Corrine cursed quietly to herself.
Men really were the most deceitful creatures.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was easier to believe in the impossible than trust a man's promises! Corrine turned to one side and found herself locked in Nate's intense gaze. His eyes, dark and deep, gleamed with satisfaction.
He lay there without a shirt, propped up on one arm. The silk sheet slipped down slowly, resting at his hips. His Adonis belt peeked out, giving him an air of effortless ease that contrasted with his usual cold, aloof demeanor. Even in this relaxed state, his presence felt like a predator at rest-powerful and still unsettling.
He placed a hand on her waist, his touch gentle. "Good morning." Good? How could it possibly be good? She forced a smile, her voice rough. "Morning..." Hearing the rasp in her voice made her frown.
She knew she needed to set sboundaries with Nate, starting tonight. She couldn't let him...
"What are you doing?" Corrine's eyes widened as she saw Nate lean toward her. She quickly shoved him away, her expression cautious. "I need to get to the office." Nate stared at her with sincerity. "Just one hug." Corrine couldn't help but notice the shift in his groin, which only made her legs feel weaker. She stood her ground, shaking her head. “No, I'm going to be late for work!" With that, she wrapped herself in the sheet and hurried into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Corrine leaned against the wall, still feeling unsteady as she made her way to the dining room.
She nibbled on her sandwich, occasionally shooting Nate a bitter look.
She would never trust him again.
He had promised it would be the last round, yet it kept happening again and again, with no self-control at all! Lost in her thoughts, Corrine noticed Tanya heading upstairs to clean. She called out to stop her but ended up choking on her food, coughing uncontrollably.
Without hesitation, Nate handed her a glass of warm milk. "Take your time, chew properly."
After swallowing the milk, Corrine caught her breath and spoke. Tanya, eath ands I'll take care of the bedroom myself."
The room was such a disaster that if Tanya saw it, it would definitely m becthe latest gossip at the Celtis Estate.
Tanya picked up on Corrine's anxious look and seemed to understand a small, knowing smile tugging at her lips. "Okay, Miss Holland." Corrine quickly finished her meal and rushed upstairs to clean.
When she saw the trash can, her breath caught in her throat. She had seriously underestimated Nate's stamina.
