Chapter 872: Nate arched a brow, a slow, mischievous smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Does that mean I get to make a wish now?" "Let's eat dinner first," she replied, dropping her gaze in an attempt to hide the emotions swirling within her. But the slight tremble in her hand as she held the glass gave her away. Nate didn't press further. Instead, he lifted his own glass and downed his wine in one smooth motion, never once taking his eyes off her.

His gaze was unreadable, yet undeniable-like a predator watching its prey step willingly into the snare, knowing escape was no longer an option.

"It's been a while since I made French cuisine. Try it and see how it tastes," Corrine said, a touch of anticipation in her voice.

Only then did Nate turn his attention to the spread before him. The dishes were plated with such elegance that they seemed almost too beautiful to eat. "You made all this yourself?" Corrine nodded, her lips curling into a soft, hopeful smile. “I just hope it's to your liking." Under her watchful gaze, Nate lifted his fork and took a bite of the foie gras salad. His every movement held an effortless grace, a natural charisma that seemed to draw the room's energy toward him. Even the smallest, most casual gesture had a quiet allure, making it nearly impossible to look away.

Candlelight caressed his chiseled features, casting a soft, golden hue over his face. His handsyet aloof demeanor lent him an almost ethereal quality, as if he was someone too perfect to belong to this world. No matter how many times she saw him, there were always moments—like this one—where his presence left her awestruck.

As she watched him eat, she curled her fingers nervously against her palm. "How does it taste?" "It's excellent," Nate replied without hesitation.

Corrine's eyes blossomed with genuine joy when she saw it clean. She rested her chin on her hand, her gaze never leaving him. "Do you know why I chose to give you lisianthus flowers?" Nate shook his head slowly, inviting her to continue.

"The florist toldthat lisianthus is also called the thornless rose. It symbolizes unwavering love for a cherished one. When someone gives you this flower, it means that while she may guard herself against the world, with you, she is willing to let down all her defenses and embrace you. Of course, I know flower meanings are often just clever marketing, but when I heard it, I couldn't resist. It felt... right. Thank God for bringing you into my life, and thank you for your patience with me."

Memories brushed over her-the sting of being abandoned on her wedding day, a wound so deep she el opce thought it would never heal. But then, at her lowest point, fate had introduced Nate. He had turned that day of despair into a chapter of hope.

"Meeting you in this lifetis my greatest blessing too,”Nate om murmured softly.

It made Corrine smile even wider, with a radiance that seemed to make the candlelight shine even brighter.
