Chapter 252 Meet My Boyfriend Properly

Corrine instantly noticed a shift in Nate's behavior tonight.

Her gut feeling alerted her that he was close to the edge, signaling that it might be safer to tread lightly around him.

He appeared like a tightly wound spring, and she opted to align with his mood rather than challenge him.

As Nate held Corrine quietly in his embrace, he narrowed his eyes and let out a soft, indifferent chuckle. "Are you dissatisfied with me?"

Frustrated by Nate's continual probing, Corrine retorted, "Nate, what's troubling you

"Why do you ask?" Nate responded, his smile chilling as it failed to mask the frost in his gaze. "What if the roles were reversed? If I had been the one disappearing into bars to ogle other women, would you overlook it? Would you remain unbothered?"

Corrine remained mute. After a moment, she acknowledged that his actions might not be completely without merit.

Drawing nearer, Nate's eyes darkened with a mix of desire and scrutiny as he focused on her lips. "Tell me, what do you admire most about me?"

Corrine was startled by the question.
