Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 44

Narissa nestled her head on Nathan's shoulder. Her eyes became blurry as she fondled Nathan's chest with her soft fingers, and she whispered into his ear, "Nathan... Do you love me?"

Nathan's kept his eyes fixed ahead and remained nonresponsive towards Narissa's question.

Narissa was a little anxious. She didn't want to miss any chance to get close to Nathan. She firmly believed that Nathan loved her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such great efforts to make her famous.

"What is love?" A deep and enigmatic voice came through, with a trace of his usual indifference as Nathan counter questioned Narissa.

"Love is..." A complacent smile spread over Narissa's face the moment she uttered the word love. "Love means… If I love you, I would be thinking about you all the time. Nathan, I came to meet you as soon as I finished my job in that drama today." Narissa pouted her lips, and her enchanting and expressive eyes seemed to speak her heart out.

"So what?"

"Nathan, shall we be together?"

"Okay," Nathan answered with a mysterious smile.

"Then, when will you marry me?" Narissa asked. Hearing what Nathan had just said, Narissa was overjoyed.

"Marry you? Do you think you deserve it?"

All of a sudden, it seemed that the air froze, and it became more than ten degrees colder. Narissa's smiling face froze in embarrassment.

"Nathan," Narissa called out in despair, her voice trembling.

"Narissa, don't be foolish. I can give you whatever you want. And I can also make you fall from the sky. I am the one who can make you a princess and also a beggar. Do you understand?" All of a sudden, Nathan threw a malicious look at Narissa. There was not a hint of a smile on his face, which indicated that he meant what he said.

Narissa's eyes were fixed on Nathan's face, looking for some hint of casualness or frivolity that could indicate that he was just pulling her leg. Her heart started beating faster as she expected that Nathan would break into a laugh and make the atmosphere light between the two of them. But to her utter disappointment, nothing of that sort happened. Her heart was shattered as she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but to her dismay, her heart was so heavy that she could not even word her feelings with her mouth.

"Nathan, have I done anything wrong? How can you do this to me?" Narissa's voice choked as she tried to speak. Tears welled up in her innocent eyes as she still gazed at Nathan's face, expecting an answer from him.

However, neither her innocence nor her tears could prove her true love for Nathan. He sneered at her in his heart. In Nathan's mind, Narissa was a brilliant actress, and over the years, she had only improved her acting skills. At first, he had liked her because she reminded him of someone when she played the violin. But in recent years, she had been earning a lot of accolades that had changed her a lot. And Nathan hated the conceited woman.

After all, Narissa was not her...

"Get out of here!" Nathan said with a cold face. In the face of such an authoritative voice, Narissa realized that she had no right even to ask why at this moment!

Aggrieved, Narissa blinked her eyes and burst into tears. The bean-sized tears ran down her beautiful cheeks to fall on the sofa. She didn't dare to stay there any longer. She grabbed her bag and left in a hurry.

With his eyes closed, Nathan sank into the sofa. He looked dead tired as he closed his eyes to grab some rest. The face that he had been yearning for over so many years appeared in his mind again.

The way she played the violin in such a soulful manner, the grace and poise in which she thanked the audience and the way she ran with him in the rain flashed through Nathan's mind.

Nathan heaved a sigh and felt helpless.

'Silly girl, I wish you all the happiness in heaven.'

Nathan didn't know how long he had been lying on the sofa in that way. When he opened his eyes, he felt that his eyes were blurred. He was crying. His eyes that remained expressionless most of the time were now filled with pain as tears rolled down his cheeks.

He stood up and walked to the desk. His slender fingers reached out to the chest of drawers. Nathan pulled out the first drawer from the left side. It was empty with no important documents inside. There was only a photo framed in an exquisite photo frame.

The girl in the photo had a sweet smile on her face with her delicate red lips pouting mischievously.

That year, she was 18, and he was 20.

This year, she was 18 while he had turned 24.
