?Chapter 1064:


    Vulture let out a scornfulugh. “Probably just charmed by his appearance,” he muttered.


    His words were casual, but there was an unmistakable edge of jealousy in his voice.


    Vulture let out a frustrated sigh. “Either way, Corrine’s dead set on this path.”


    “That’s just how she is,” Lone Ranger said with a lightugh. “Once she makes up her mind, there’s no stopping her—unless she changes it herself.”


    Meanwhile, Corrine and Nate walked hand in hand along the beach. The deep blue sea, the golden sand, and the asional seagull soaring overhead created a serene, almost dreamlike scene.


    As she watched their shadows stretch across the sand, Corrine couldn’t help but smile softly—a smile full of quiet happiness.


    “In a few days, there’s a cab meeting. Want toe?” Nate asked, ncing at Corrine. Their steps fell into sync, each footstep matching the other in perfect rhythm.


    Corrine swung their joined hands yfully. “A cab meeting? Do I get to join, even though I’m just an outsider?”


    “If you’re interested, feel free to join,” Nate said, his gaze unwavering as his fingers lightly traced the ring on her finger. “You’re not an outsider. You’re my fiancée. Your being at the meeting is as justified as anyone else’s. But, if it’s too much or if you’d rather not get involved, there’s no pressure.”


    He made sure to leave the choicepletely up to her.


    He promised that if she wanted to go, he’d make sure nothing stood in her way. On the other hand, if she wanted to skip it, he wouldn’t push her.


    Corrine held his hand tightly, smiling warmly. “Why not? It sounds fun. Besides, as you’ve said, I’m your fiancée, so it’s perfectly normal for me to be there. It’s a rare chance to tell everyone you’re mine. How could I pass up such an opportunity?”


    “You’ll have plenty of chances to im your ownership of me,” Nate replied, his fingers softly brushing her cheek, his voice calming. “The meeting will have representatives from other families. Are you sure you don’t want to rethink it?”


    ｍ????ｅ ｕ??ｄ??ｔｅｓ ??ｎ ???ｌ????ｖ??ｌ??.??????


    The meeting would involve not only representatives from other families but also members of the Elder Council. Once Corrine got involved, her presence would be hard to ignore, and with that woulde the inevitable risks.


    Corrine raised an eyebrow, her smile mischievous. “Are you hesitating about meing because you’re worried other women will find out you’re already taken?”


    Nate pulled her closer, his arm sliding around her slim waist. He leaned in, his lips brushing her ear as he spoke in a low, steady voice. “Miss Hond, you’re wee toe to any event with me to test my loyalty to you.”


    “Good, but I might test it when I feel like it,” Corrine said, leaning back just enough to meet his gaze. “As for how long the teststs…” Before she could finish, Nate gently cupped the back of her head and kissed her, stopping her words before they could be spoken.
