Chapter 351

Standing in front of this devoted man, I felt momentarily at a loss. I couldn’t accept his love.

Nathan seemed to see right through me. He let out a soft laugh, trying to sound casual. “Sorry, I don’t want to put any pressure on you. Actually, love has a deeper meaning–sometimes it’s about helping the other person find happiness.”

Nathan sighed softly. “I won’t ask too much of you. Honestly, I’m already content with how things are between us.”

“Thank you for understanding,” I said, genuinely grateful. I really didn’t want any pressure from a relationship right now.
