Mila stood awkwardly in place. She remained silent for a long time.
She remembered the harsh words she had said to Nathan before. She told him not to see her
again and not to have any involvement with her.
And now, she shamelessly stayed close to him, even though it was for his safety. But would Nathan really believe her? Would he think she was crazy?
“Is there anything else?” Nathan asked.
Mila immediately shook her head. She said as she forced a smile, “No, nothing else.”
Nathan pointed to the desk and said, “Then I’ll finish. up the remaining work.”
“Okay.” Mila pursed her lips. She was flustered. “I’ll leave you alone then. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Nathan nodded.
Mila was about to leave but stopped and turned back to look at Nathan. She said, “I want to stay in the guest room upstairs with Phoebe.”
Nathan looked at her with a gentle gaze. He said, “Okay.”
Mila smiledasshe left the room.
After leaving the study, Mila still felt her heart pounding. She felt her cheeks getting warm, and she felt hot in her chest too..
When she used to have a crush on Nathan, she only felt a bit nervous and shy.
But now, she felt a burning sensation in her heart knowing that Nathan had secretly loved her since childhood and still liked her now.
When she saw Nathan, not only did she feel shy and nervous, but she found her heart pounding like crazy too. It was like there was a fire burning inside her.
The moment Mila saw him, she felt a flurry of excitement coursing through her body. She felt weird.

unrequited love was very painful.
Because of her identity, they were destined to have no future together. She didn’t dare to confess her feelings to Nathan.
It was better this way, she just wished him for the best.
Mila walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa.
She randomly picked up a book and flipped through a few pages. She couldn’t help but glance toward the study.
She read the book while staying on guard outside the study.
She didn’t expect Nathan to be busy until late.
In the dead of the night, Phoebe came to the living room twice to call Mila back to her room.
to rest.
However, Mila refused and had Phoebe return back to the room
to sleep

At 1:00 am, Nathan finally came out from the study.
He walked into the living room. Suddenly, he stopped. He glanced at the woman who was sleeping on the sofa.
He slowly walked over and crouched down in front of her. His heart weighed down with sorrow when he gazed at Mila’s fair and delicate face.
“Chubs,” Nathan called her softly.
Mila didn’t react.
Nathan touched her face, but his hand froze for a moment as soon as his fingers touched her skin.
He hesitated for a moment. His body was tense. He felt his heart pounding and his gaze became more intense as he looked at her.
He didn’t have the courage to touch her when he was looking at the beautiful face of the woman he loved.
Despite Nathan’s high position and status, he still felt insecure and lacked confidence when facing Mila. He would still unconsciously hide his feelings toward Mila
He gulped and retracted his hand that was reaching out to hers.
He shifted and reached out and put his arm under her neck and thighs, aiming to lift Mila up

But as soon as Nathan’s hand touched Mila, she suddenly woke up. She hugged his body tightly and looked at him.
Her first reaction seemed like she was shocked. Perhaps it was a residual effect from being kidnapped by Oliver.
She let outasigh of relief when she realized it was Nathan.
“I thought you were asleep, soIwanted to carry you back to your room to rest, cleared his throat as he explained.
Nathan
“Oh.” Mila awkwardly fiddled with her long hair. “Are you done with your work? Are you going back to rest?” Mila asked.
Nathan stood up with his hands in his pockets. He asked, “Why were you sleeping here?”
Mila stood up and said,“Iwas guarding you.”
“Guarding me?” Nathan frowned as he asked. He was puzzled.
Mila shot him an awkward smile. She said, “I was afraidthatsomeone might use the excuse of delivering supper and send you food,so I stayed here.”
