Housewife Gone Wild

Chapter 351

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.”

I blinked, caught off guard.

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.

So maybe love doesn’t have to be all–consuming–just enough to keep things comfortable, leaving room to breathe and not tying anyone down.

The trip to Shaville was set, and I dove headfirst into work. I was brainstorming ideas nonstop and running from one meeting to the next, but my job really fired me up. I had way more energy than I ever did in my previous life.

Work kept me fulfilled and too busy to get lost in my own thoughts. My Englysian got way better just from talking with people all the time, and honesty, that made me pretty proud.
