Chapter 339 

As the passion subsided, Mila gradually returned to her senses, her gaze shifting to the ceiling as she slowly released her arms from around Nathan’s neck, feeling a whirlwind of emotions. 

Nathan tenderly caressed her hair and softly kissed her earlobe, his voice husky, almost pleading, “Wanda, I’ll give you everything you desire. I’ll ensure a bright future for us. I’ll devote myself entirely to loving you. Will you marry me?”

If she was still suffering from amnesia and heard these words, she’d undoubtedly be moved, eagerly nodding in agreement. 

But she wasn’t Wanda; she was Mila. She couldn’t afford to become entangled with the leader of the Norvanian military. 

“I’m sorry, Nate.” Mila’s voice quivered, tears blurring her sight. “I can’t accept your proposal. 

Nathan’s eyes closed in anguish as he pressed his face against her neck, his voice filled with 

or because you can’t?” profound sadness as he asked, “Is it because you don’t love me, 

Mila’s heart clenched with pain. She knew that if she professed her love for him but insisted they couldn’t be together, Nathan wouldn’t simply accept her words. 

He would dig deeper, demanding answers. Then he would eventually uncover her true identity. 

With tears streaming down her cheeks, Mila closed her eyes, maintaining a composed facade. ” I don’t love you, and we can’t be together.” 

Nathan’s body tensed, overcome by agony that pierced his heart. He managed a bitter smile, his eyes turning red with emotion. 

The ache in his heart surpassed any physical longing, consuming him with agony and torment. Slowly, he pulled away from Mila’s embrace. 

Mila reached out, wrapping her arms around Nathan’s neck as she peered into his eyes, now tinged with red, brimming with sorrow and melancholy that pierced her heart. 

Her voice trembled as she uttered, “Nate, I’m willing.” 

With a hand steadying himself against the bed, Nathan gently lowered Mila’s hand with the other, observing her from above. “Willing to do what?” he inquired.

As the warmth faded from her body, Mila felt a dull ache in her heart. 

She remained still on the bed, tears silently streaming down her cheeks, trailing onto her 

earlobes. 

Nathan had intended to propose before taking things further. 

Despite his desires, he didn’t want to hurt her after being rejected. If he couldn’t win her heart, he refused to take her innocence. 

The mere thought of it intensified Mila’s anguish, leaving her breathless with unbearable pain. 

Wiping away her tears, she rose slowly, feeling her heartache intensify with each passing moment. She couldn’t bear to witness Nathan’s pain any longer. 

Reflecting on the past, Mila regretted not realizing Nathan’s feelings for her ten years ago. 

Upon leaving the country, she purposely distanced herself from him, never considering the hurt he might have felt. Cutting off all contact, she unknowingly caused him years of sorrow. 

Mila was determined not to repeat past mistakes, nor did she want to give Nathan false hope. only to hurt him again. 

The next time she left Norvania, it might be for five years, or perhaps even indefinitely.

Despite the rejection, Nathan continued to be as gentle and respectful toward Mila, holding no grudges.

Instead, Nathan showed his love through respect and freedom, willing to fulfill any of Mila’s desires without imposing anything on her. 

His love was profound, yet veiled in restraint. 

While Mila’s feelings were evident, her identity prevented her from reciprocating. She couldn’t bring herself to expect Nathan to wait unconditionally for another five years.
