?Chapter 389:


    “Seems like it backfired on me,” Nate murmured, his fingers lightly brushing against Corrine’s lips.


    “What are you in the mood for?”


    Her response was light.


    “Just something simple.”


    For Corrine, simple meant something she could whip up herself. Nate, on the other hand, had grander notions of simplicity.


    Sitting in the restaurant, Corrine observed the exquisite dishes before her, each adorned with the emblem of Gourmet Spot. She had nned to cook, but Nate had taken the initiative with these arrangements, leaving her feeling like she had taken advantage of him.


    The soft, amber light filled the space with a warm, inviting ambiance.


    As she ate, Corrine asionally nced up into Nate’s deep, dark eyes. Nate hardly touched his meal, not from ack of hunger but due to his selective tastes.


    After eating, Corrine sipped her water and asked, “When did you arrive?”


    “Got back at ten this morning,” Nate responded smoothly.


    A subtle smile flickered in Corrine’s eyes. He probably got the news on his way from the airport and came straight to Modern Square to meet her.


    Feeling considered is something every woman cherishes, and Corrine was certainly no different.


    Just then, Nate’s phone chimed with a notification, causing his brow to crease. Noticing the change, the smile in Corrine’s eyes wavered.


    “Something wrong?”


    “Thepany has a situation with the shipment at the port,” Nate exined.


    “You seem to have your hands in many ventures here in Lyhaton, don’t you?” Corrine asked.


    “From real estate to showbiz and transport, you name it,” Nate said.


    “Though, these are just segments of my grandmother’s vast holdings.” He said it casually.

    The business was his grandmother’s? And it was separate from the dealings of the Hopkins family? Intrigued, Corrine raised her eyebrows.


    “And what about your own enterprises?”


    With a thoughtful gaze, Nate responded, “They’re primarily based in the Independent Continent.”


    He was open with Corrine about his affairs. Once she became his wife, Corrine would need to relocate with him to that ce.


    “Anything particr about that ce?”


    Corrine was genuinely curious about what sort of ce the Independent Continent was. Her previous attempts to gather information had been fruitless. Enveloped in secrecy and protected by one of the most sophisticated security systems globally, it remained an enigma, closed off from external prying. However, the obscurity only fueled her curiosity more.


    “It’s rather unremarkable. One day, I’ll show you around,” he added casually. His casual manner suggested the topic was of little significance. This piqued a deeper curiosity in Corrine’s heart.


    “Have you had enough to eat?” Nate asked, his expression carrying an unintentional warmth.


    She nodded and dabbed at her lips with a napkin, her gaze intently following his movements.
