Chapter 325

After letting those words spill out, Nathalie felt like she'd just ticked off a major to-do on life's list, finally breathing a sigh of relief. But, out of nowhere, this weird emptiness started creeping back in.

She clutched her chest and couldn't shake the odd feeling. Lately, whenever she was around Nathan, her heart was getting squeezed, leaving her feeling sour and tense.

She felt reluctant to cut ties with him and figured it was because she'd always seen Nathan as family. This thought was her comfort, and slowly, she started to feel a bit calmer.

Nathan's eyes were noticeably bloodshot, as dark and intense as a hawk's. He looked like a lion, ready to pounce in anger.

Nathalie instinctively shrank back, a bit scared. This version of Nathan was just like the one she remembered from before - the fierce leader of the Capital.

She was at a loss about how to calm him down. Honestly, she had no clue what had set him off in the first place.

With a tiny, pitiful voice, she whispered, "I did it all thinking it was for your own good..."

Nathan let out a deep, heavy sigh. "Nathalie, vanishing without a word is a pretty lousy move," he said, his voice as cold as ice.

Nathalie watched him, confused. Having grown up without much love, she figured no one would bat an eye if she ran away for a week. She couldn't wrap her head around how disappearing had impacted Nathan so much. The elevator doors slid open, revealing Ashley, who was visibly fuming. "Nathan, why'd you leave me in there?"
