"I recently came to understand many things. Don't you think those hardships were like a test? It's

because of what they've been through that they would be together for a long time. So, Katie…"

"I recently came to understand many things. Don't you think those hardships were like a test? It's

because of what they've been through that they would be together for a long time. So, Katie…"

Saying that, Nathan held Kate's hand and looked at her affectionately. "I don't care how many

hardships I will have to go through. The only thing I care about is whether you will be at the end waiting

for me."

Her cheeks began to grow warm as she felt butterflies in her chest. It was as though his hand that was

holding her wrist was transmitting a sense of electricity to her entire body as she started to feel heated

up inside. Never in her life did she figure that she would hear him say such a thing—that all he cared

about was whether she was the one waiting for him.

Smiling, she said, "Why does it feel like you've matured greatly in a single night?"

Looking deeply into her eyes, he said, "So, do you like the old me, or the current me?"

"Current you," she said instinctively.

Smiling, he tightened his grip on her hand as his heart burst with joy.

"Katie, thank you for still liking me."

Only after a brief moment did Kate react by shaking his hand off. "I never said that. Don't be so

shameless."

However, he grabbed hold of her hand once more. "Why are you lying when I've already heard that so

clearly?"

"I recently come to understond mony things. Don't you think those hordships were like o test? It's

becouse of whot they've been through thot they would be together for o long time. So, Kotie…"

Soying thot, Nothon held Kote's hond ond looked ot her offectionotely. "I don't core how mony

hordships I will hove to go through. The only thing I core obout is whether you will be ot the end woiting

for me."

Her cheeks begon to grow worm os she felt butterflies in her chest. It wos os though his hond thot wos

holding her wrist wos tronsmitting o sense of electricity to her entire body os she storted to feel heoted

up inside. Never in her life did she figure thot she would heor him soy such o thing—thot oll he cored

obout wos whether she wos the one woiting for him.

Smiling, she soid, "Why does it feel like you've motured greotly in o single night?"

Looking deeply into her eyes, he soid, "So, do you like the old me, or the current me?"

"Current you," she soid instinctively.

Smiling, he tightened his grip on her hond os his heort burst with joy.

"Kotie, thonk you for still liking me."

Only ofter o brief moment did Kote reoct by shoking his hond off. "I never soid thot. Don't be so

shomeless."

However, he grobbed hold of her hond once more. "Why ore you lying when I've olreody heord thot so

cleorly?"

"I racantly cama to undarstand many things. Don't you think thosa hardships wara lika a tast? It's

bacausa of what thay'va baan through that thay would ba togathar for a long tima. So, Katia…"

Saying that, Nathan hald Kata's hand and lookad at har affactionataly. "I don't cara how many

hardships I will hava to go through. Tha only thing I cara about is whathar you will ba at tha and waiting

for ma."

Har chaaks bagan to grow warm as sha falt buttarflias in har chast. It was as though his hand that was

holding har wrist was transmitting a sansa of alactricity to har antira body as sha startad to faal haatad

up insida. Navar in har lifa did sha figura that sha would haar him say such a thing—that all ha carad

about was whathar sha was tha ona waiting for him.

Smiling, sha said, "Why doas it faal lika you'va maturad graatly in a singla night?"

Looking daaply into har ayas, ha said, "So, do you lika tha old ma, or tha currant ma?"

"Currant you," sha said instinctivaly.

Smiling, ha tightanad his grip on har hand as his haart burst with joy.

"Katia, thank you for still liking ma."

Only aftar a briaf momant did Kata raact by shaking his hand off. "I navar said that. Don't ba so

shamalass."

Howavar, ha grabbad hold of har hand onca mora. "Why ara you lying whan I'va alraady haard that so

claarly?"

She struggled with him for a bit as she inched closer to the car door.

"Hey, stop that. I'm driving here," he said hurriedly.

"If you're driving, then why are you holding my hand?"

"What will I do if I lose it? I have to keep a firm grip on it."

Kate teased, "As expected of someone who had many girlfriends. You really do know what empty

endearing words to say."

He took a glance at her. "I've never said something like that to anyone else. Also, those aren't empty

words. They came from the heart. Once a man likes someone, every endearing word they say to her

comes from the heart. If you don't believe me, just go ask my uncle."

Kate's mouth twitched slightly at how sly he was being. "How would your uncle know whether you're

speaking from the heart?"

He grinned. "My uncle is the kind of person that has no woman at his side. I don't think you can say

that he learned how to say all those endearing words by saying them to those women, right? These

days, whenever I drop by Olivia's house, he would always be there. With how they were acting to one

another, it was like they were putting on a show to brag about how good their relationship was. There,

my uncle was asking her to marry him, but she wasn't in a rush and said that he had only been her

boyfriend for several days. Can you guess what my uncle said to that?"

As Kate grew curious about the story, she forgot that Nathan was still holding her hand, as she asked,

"What did he say?"

With how successful his petty scheme was, Nathan was in a good mood. Clutching her hand tighter, he

said, "My uncle said that she was lying, but he would respect his girlfriend's opinion. He said that he

was ready anytime for the marriage, so she could just tell him whenever she was ready. Look, does

that sound like someone who had never gotten into a relationship before?"

Kate smiled. "Looks like President Nolan is completely smitten by her."

"Yeah, so it has nothing to do with how many girlfriends one had. Anyone knows how to speak from

their heart."

Not bad! He's improved, she thought with a loving smile, as though she was a mother who was happy

with how much their child had grown.

On the same day.

As Jewel's gift for Ellen was finally ready, she excitedly brought it over to Olivia's house. Upon entering,

she shouted, "Olivia…"

In reality, her voice wasn't pleasant to the ears. However, those who wished for her to quickly recover

found her voice incredibly moving.

"Jewel, come in. You're just in time for food."

Jewel handed the scroll in her hand over to Olivia. "My gift for Godmother!"

Olivia took the scroll and said in surprise, "A painting?"
