Chapter 774

No surprise that Nathan had once said, "Making you happy is my mission." He

was helping Morris fulfill his wish. When Nathalie figured all this out, her guilt and love for Morris hit her like a tidal wave. She held onto his hand tightly, as if letting go would mean he'd just flutter away like a butterfly.
