Corrine was left stunned, completely speechless.

He couldn't possibly mean what she thought he meant, could he? Seeing Nate completely overlook the carefully arranged gifts on the stairs, Corrine quickly spoke up. “The gifts are right here. Where are you planning to open them?" "Just these?" Nate frowned slightly, his eyes scanning the neatly placed, beautifully wrapped boxes. After a moment of thought, he said, "There should be twenty-nine gifts in total, based on the balloons. One's missing." As he spoke, his gaze dropped to Corrine in his arms. His look seemed to say, "You can't fool me.” Feeling the weight of his stare, Corrine couldn't help but feel flustered. Her fingers curled nervously. "You're too smart for your own good." While most people would be too shocked by the surprise to focus, Nate stayed calm and methodical. Was this man insensitive to romance? "So, where's the last gift?" Nate's deep, dark eyes locked onto hers, and she could feel a spark ignite beneath his gaze. "Is it... you?" His Adam's apple moved as he spoke, his eyes carrying a quiet intensity.

Corrine's long lashes fluttered with nerves. She dropped her gaze, hoping to hide how uneasy she felt.

But then Nate shifted his grip; he held her thighs with one arm and wrapped the other around her waist, forcing her to face him. He bent down, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead. "Corrine, tell me, are you my final gift?" His voice was smooth and melodic, like a song waiting to be sung, full of warmth and affection. His cool lips lingered on her forehead before slowly moving down, until they finally met hers.

Nate's hand slowly traveled up her back, his rough fingers brushing against her bare spine.

The touch sent a jolt of electricity through her, making her shiver and her body tremble just a bit. "Tell me, okay?" His lips softly brushed her temple, his warm breath ruffling the hair by her ear.

Corrine bit her lip once more, her voice barely a whisper. “I...”

She had planned to offer herself as Nate's birthday gift that night But now that he had figured it out, she felt a deep flush of embarrassment.

Her upbringing had taught her that a woman should always carry herself race and dignity. She was with grace Sar ready to put her pride aside for Nate, but saying it out loud felt impossible.

After battling with herself for a while, she suddenly leaned, him. Instead of spend kissed En.

she let her actions say everything.
