Chapter 1692

Seeing her anticipation and hopefulness about romance, Nathaniel stood up abruptly, blocking the sunlight and looking at her seriously. "What if… I want to be your partner?" "Huh?" The gentle sea breeze caressed their faces, and the waves lapped against the shore. Over their time together, Nathaniel realized Kristen resembled Sheena in many ways, a feeling he had grown to love. He had a selfish desire to hold onto his decade-long obsession with Sheena. After a long silence, Kristen's heart started racing, her cheeks red. "I-I've never really thought about being in a relationship before… I'm sorry." Kristen calmed herself down, and her face soon showed a pained expression as she added, "I've had a difficult life. I don't want to bring misfortune to you. I'm really sorry. Your phone is fixed now. I'll go get it for you." She hurried away, leaving him with only her retreating figure. Reflecting on her startled expression, Nathaniel smiled wryly and followed her home.
