The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 138 We're

Destined For Each Other

The next morning, Corrine casually selected a chic cream-colored business suit.

The top, paired with a white silk camisole, hugged her figure delicately, while the knee-length pencil skirt added an air of understated allure.

As she walked, her long, slender legs commanded attention, every step graceful and

deliberate.

“Good morning, Miss Holland,” Tanya greeted her with a warm smile, eyes sparkling.

"Mr. Hopkins is waiting for you in the dining room."

Corrine offered a slight nod and made her way to the dining room.

At the sound of her footsteps, Nate lowered his phone and lifted his gaze. When his eyes landed on Corrine, they softened, a smile forming in his eyes. "Let's eat first," he said, voice warm. "I'll drive you to the office later."

"Okay," Corrine replied, settling into her seat without haste, her gaze drifting over the spread of food before her.

As expected, everything laid out was her favorite.

Nate placed a piece of pancake on her plate, his tone casual as he asked, "How about you stay at Celtis Estate for a while?"

Corrine shook her head slightly, her voice light. "You can't always protect me."

"Why can't I?" Nate shot back, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes.

Corrine took a bite of the pancake and glanced up at him, a playful glint in her eyes. "Do you like the idea of an ideal homemaker?"

Nate didn't hesitate, answering with a firmness that matched the steady rhythm of his

voice. "No, I don't."

Corrine's eyebrows arched slightly as she observed Nate across the table.

Rising from his seat, Nate moved to place a bowl of cereal in front of her.

He settled back down, his movements slow and deliberate, picking up a napkin to wipe his fingers clean. His deep voice broke the silence, calm yet intense, "I want a woman who can stand by my side. When I succeed, she'll share in the glory. If I

fail, she'll have the strength to stand tall and rise with me."

His gaze never wavered from Corrine, filled with a quiet but unwavering determination.

He understood her dreams, her ambitions.

Someone as radiant and magnificent as Corrine shouldn't be hidden away in some ordinary corner-she deserved to shine in the spotlight, the center of everyone's gaze

His dark eyes burned with an intense, almost possessive desire to claim her, and his words were wrapped in unshakable conviction. "Corrine, with me, you'll have the freedom to grow. No more worrying about what others think, no more fearing consequences. Just live for yourself, according to your own heart."

Live for yourself, according to your own heart... Corrine repeated his words in her mind.

Those words, when Nate spoke them, seemed to hum with a quiet yet powerful magic, as though the very air around them shifted,

Each word landed on her heart with a gentle but undeniable force.

Her blood, once still and stagnant, began to surge again, her heart thundering in her

chest.

Corrine's throat went dry as she held his gaze, her mind swirling,

Her life, once so barren and lonely, now seemed filled with rich, vibrant hues- colors

she never thought she could experience, all because of his presence.

A slow, tender smile tugged at the corners of her moist, red lips, her expression lighting up like the sun breaking through a cloudy sky. "It's a coincidence. Our thoughts align so perfectly."

"To be precise, we're destined for each other," Nate replied, his voice low and filled with meaning.

They exchanged a smile, their eyes locking, reflecting a universe of unspoken understanding.

In that moment, words were unnecessary-they both felt it. The connection. The

After they finished their meal, Nate dropped Corrine off at her company.

She opened the car door and stepped out, but as she glanced back, she saw the car still parked behind her. Taking a deep breath, she returned to him.

"What-"

Before Nate could finish his sentence, Corrine's lips found his, silencing him completely.
