“I recently came to understand many things. Don’t you think those hardships were like a test? It’s because of what they’ve been through that they would be together for a long time. So, Katie…”
Saying that; Nathan held Kate’s hand and looked at her affectionately. “I don’t care how many hardships I will have to go through. The only thing I care about is whether you will be at the end waiting for me.”
Her cheeks began to grow warm as she felt butterflies in her chest. It was as though his hand that was holding her wrist was transmitting a sense of electricity to her entire body as she started to feel heated up inside. Never in her life did she figure that she would hear him say such a thing-that all he cared about was whether she was the one waiting for him.
Smiling, she said, “Why does it feel like you’ve matured greatly in a single night?” Looking deeply into her eyes, he said, “So, do you like the old me, or the current me?”
“Current you,” she said instinctively. Smiling, he tightened his grip on her hand as his heart burst with joy. “Katie, thank you for still liking me.”
Only after a brief moment did Kate react by shaking his hand off. “I never said that. Don’t be so shameless.” However, he grabbed hold of her hand once more. ‘Why are you lying when I’ve already heard that so clearly?” She struggled with him for a bit as she inched closer to the car door. “Hey, stop that. I’m driving here,” he said. hurriedly.
“If you’re driving, then why are you holding my hand?” “What will I do if I lose it? I have to keep a firm grip on it.” Kate teased, ‘As expected of someone who had many girlfriends. You really do know what empty endearing words to say.”
He took a glance at her. “I’ve never said something like that to anyone else. Also, those aren’t empty words. They came from the heart. Once a man likes someone, every endearing word they say to her comes from the heart. If you don’t believe me, just go ask my uncle.”
Kate’s mouth twitched slightly at how sly he was being. “How would your uncle know whether you’re speaking from the heart?”
He grinned. “My uncle is the kind of person that has no woman at his side. I don’t think you can say that he learned how to say all those endearing words by saying them to those women, right? These days, whenever I drop by: Olivia’s house, he would always be there. With how they were acting to one another, it was like they were putting on a show to brag about how good their relationship was. There, my uncle was asking her to marry him, but she wasn’t in. a rush and said that he had only been her boyfriend for several days. Can you guess what my uncle said to that?”
As Kate grew curious about the story, she forgot that Nathan was still holding her hand, as she asked, “What did he say?”
With how successful his petty scheme was, Nathan was in a good mood. Clutching her hand tighter, he said, “My uncle said that she was lying, but he would respect his girlfriend’s opinion. He said that he was ready anytime for the marriage, so she could just tell him whenever she was ready. Look, does that sound like someone who had never gotten into a relationship before?”
Kate smiled. “Looks like President Nolan is completely smitten by her.” “Yeah, so it has nothing to do with how many girlfriends one had. Anyone knows how to speak from their heart.”
Not bad! He’s improved, she thought with a loving smile, as though she was a mother who was happy with how much their child had grown. On the same day. As Jewel’s gift for Ellen was finally ready, she excitedly brought it over to Olivia’s house. Upon entering, she shouted, “Olivia…”
In reality, her voice wasn’t pleasant to the ears. However, those who wished for her to quickly recover found her voice incredibly moving. “Jewel, come in. You’re just in time for food.”
Jewel handed the scroll in her hand over to Olivia. “My gift for Godmother!” Olivia took the scroll and said in surprise, ‘A painting?”
