Chapter 1475:
Corrine stepped forward, her heels clicking lightly against the floor, her gaze cutting sharply toward him. “Mr.
Seymour, someone of your standing clearly believes | am unfit to be Nate's wife,” she said coolly. “But Elva
Quinn—she is good enough for him, is she not?”
Moses blinked, stunned into silence. He had crossed a line he could not uncross.
Nate reached out, tugging Corrine gently onto his lap. His voice was casual, but his eyes searched her face.
“What kept you?”
“Kept me?” Corrine arched a brow. Her lips curved into a faint smile that held no warmth. “I thought | arrived just
in time. Any sooner, and | would have missed such a compelling tale. It seems I'm standing in your path to a
brighter future.”
Nate brought her hand to his lips, brushing a kiss against her knuckles. “Are you jealous?”
“No.” She pulled her hand away, her tone flat.

The alliance between the Quinn family and the Hopkins family had been the subject of social gossip on the

Across the room, Zack shared a look with Moses. Without a word, the two men slipped out, leaving the space
behind them quiet.
Corrine rose and wandered toward the window. Her gaze swept over the scene beyond—the thick cluster of trees
behind the hotel, alive with spring’s green. A narrow path wound through the grove, half-hidden beneath the
mist.

“Would you like to take a walk?” Nate appeared beside her, his arm wrapping easily around her waist.
She tilted her head up to him, eyes calm. “Let's go.”
The moment they stepped outside, a light rain began to fall.
Nate opened a sleek black umbrella, holding it above them. He extended his hand to her, palm open and waiting.
