Chapter 921

“Should we drink a little today?” Lena asked.

Nate nodded. “Let’s have a drink.”

They warmed a bottle of wine and ordered a few small dishes. Neither of them spoke, simply sitting quietly,

gazing out at the river and the occasional boats passing by.

“Lena,” Nate called her softly.

Lena turned to look at him. The warm yellow light above cast a gentle glow on his nose, brows, and lips. His

gold-rimmed glasses exuded elegance, and the texture of his shirt spoke of refined taste.

Even after their breakup, Lena had to admit that Nate was precisely her type.

In all her life, among all the men she had met, only Aaron and Nate could truly be called attractive in her eyes.

Even Hayden and Jace were merely “not bad.” It wasn’t that her standards were excessively high-it was simply

that if someone didn’t resonate with her, no matter how perfect they were, she wouldn't care for them.

“Thank you,” Nate said softly.

Lena was momentarily stunned, assuming he was referring to their work. She smiled faintly. Let’s not talk about

work today.”

“My thanks have nothing to do with work,” Nate said, his deep, earnest gaze meeting hers through his glasses.

His clean, neat hair was tied at the back, and his face, untouched by heavy makeup, retained a natural and

delicate charm that was simply pleasing to look at.

“I'm thanking you for agreeing to have dinner withtonight. And... for being a part of my life.”

His words caused Lena to freeze for a moment, though she didn’t feel uncomfortable. After all, their shared

history was undeniable.

In truth, she had agreed to this dinner to find closure for both of them.

“I should thank you, too, for completing my youth,” Lena replied. As a student, she had secretly loved and

admired him. That crush had blossomed, though it ultimately bore no, fruit.

Nate’s gaze darkened slightly, understanding her meaning. She was telling him, in her gentle way, that there

was no future for them.

Even so, he wanted to make one last effort. Sthings, he knew, needed to be heard from her own lips before

he could truly let go.

“Lena, | don’t want to just exist in your youth. | want... to be part of your present and future,”

Nate said, nervously picking up his cup.

Lena wasn’t surprised by his confession. She smiled gently. “But you are. As long as I'm alive, you'll always be a

part of my life. As long as | don’t forget you completely, you'll always be there.

Her words left no room for doubt, and Nate realized there was nothing more to say. He raised his glass and said,

“For now, lettoast you.”

After a few steps, she stopped, noticing someone on the sofa. “Uncle, why are you still up?”

Aaron raised his gaze, his eyes landing on her slightly dazed expression and flushed cheeks. “Waiting for you,”

he said simply.
