Mila’s heart fluttered with a twinge of unease as she nervously asked, “Nate, are you incapable?”

Nathan’s expression darkened, his brow furrowing. This question wounded a man’s pride, especially when it came from someone he deeply loved. He paused for a long moment, unsure of how to respond.

Mila was taken aback. “Seriously?”

Nathan felt a heaviness in his chest. He took a deep breath before replying firmly, “Don’t try to provoke me. It won’t work.”

Mila felt her cheeks burning with embarrassment. At the same time, she was astonished at

how calm Nathan remained.

She couldn’t comprehend the reason behind Nathan’s refusal and grew frustrated. “Didn’t you say you liked me? You’ve had a crush on me since childhood. Were you lying all this time?”

Nathan released her, moving her hands away from him and stepping back, creating distance

between them.

His expression was grim as he spoke, “Yes, I care for you deeply. I love you. I want to be with you. But what about you? Do you like me? Do you want to be with me?” Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Mila’s heart raced with nervous anticipation as she nodded, whispering, “Yes, I do.”

Nathan barely caught her response, his anger flaring instantly. He countered, “What kind of

like is it? Is it driven by physical desire or the affection for a neighborly brother?”

Confused, Mila asked, “Is there a difference?”

Nathan pressed further, “Would you stay for me? Stay in Norvania and be with me?”

Mila felt overwhelmed and conflicted. Not again, she thought. She was already searching for a solution. Yet, this path would be too harsh for Nathan.

features. Her voice carried a soft, soothing tone. “Nate, I too wish to stay in Norvania, but I cannot decide for myself. I must return.”

“No need to say more,” Nathan said as he shrugged off her hand. He turned away with a sense of loss and headed toward the study.

Mila hurried after him, her hands outstretched to halt him. She tried hard to suppress her inner turmoil.

With a tinge of grievance, she pleaded, “Nate, this is my only wish right now. Can’t you grant it for me?”

Nathan sighed bitterly and avoided her imploring gaze. He couldn’t bear to witness her in this state of pleading affection.

“I don’t even care about my innocence, and I’m a woman. I’m willing to be with you, yet you still reject me. Do you even like me? What is it that troubles you?”

Nathan fell silent for a few seconds before coldly instructing, “Go back. Now.”

“I won’t!” Mila protested.

Unable to bear it any longer, Nathan grabbed her arm and pulled her closer, towering over her.

His eyes reddened. Nathan’s voice strained with anguish as if each word caused him immense pain. “Chubs, how long will you continue to torment me?”

Mila was stunned, tears shimmering in her

eyes.

Nathan’s tone turned to fury. “Do you think the pain you’ve caused me by leaving isn’t enough? Now you want to leave me with more bittersweet memories, giving me another reason to suffer sleepless nights for the rest of my life?”

Mila shook her head as tears streamed down her cheeks. She felt as though her heart was being torn apart. The thought of him suffering so deeply made her pain unbearable.

Observing her silent tears, Nathan’s heart shattered. His eyes were bloodshot, his words laden with despair.

“I want to marry you more than any other man in this world. I long to be with you, to share my bed with you, to watch every sunrise and sunset by your side.”
