The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1211:

Nate relaxed his grip around her waist, loosening just a bit. His large hand gently wrapped around her smaller, cooler one. “It’s getting late. You should head back to your room and rest.”

It was a simple suggestion, but after what had happened last night, it felt more like an invitation to Corrine.

Her legs wobbled slightly. She cleared her throat and said, “I’m not tired yet. You should go back to your room first.”

“Are you sure you’re not tired, or are you just trying to avoid me?” Nate saw right through her. Without a word, he bent down and lifted her into his arms. “I promise, nothing will happen tonight.”

As she tried to squirm away, Nate’s expression grew more serious. “Stop moving so much. You’ll make my injury worse.”
