As Kristen spoke, it seemed to touch a nerve, and she appeared sad.
She skillfully controlled her tears, keeping them in her eyes without letting them fall.
She was naturally beautiful, looking nothing like a girl from a fishing village but rather like a pampered young lady.
When she furrowed her brow, it tugged at the heartstrings.
This expression was something she had practiced in front of the mirror countless times, perfecting it.
After spending so much time carrying out Declan's tasks, Kristen was great at reading everyone's thoughts.
Moreover, she could tell what someone wanted based on their appearance.
It was even easier for her to deal with men as none could resist her good looks and pitiable expression.
Yet, no matter how weak and vulnerable Kristen appeared, Nathaniel's expression remained indifferent.
This made Kristen unable to grasp his true feelings.
It seemed as if he had not fully accepted her, though she could not pinpoint why.
It felt as if he was only caring for her to fulfill his promise to her grandmother.
"Nate, when you have some free time, can you take me back to visit the village? I want to visit her. I don't have any friends here…"
Her voice trailed off, sounding extremely aggrieved.
Nathaniel nodded in agreement.
After a moment, he calmly said, "Grandma is gone. You need to learn to accept that. If there's anything else you need, just let me know. I can at least take care of your material needs."
Kristen felt a pang of frustration but kept her composure, smiling sweetly.
"Nate, you've already been very good to me, and I'm grateful. But after all this time, you should know my feelings. It's okay. Ms. Olsen is the innocent one here, I understand. So, the one who gets hurt is destined to be me."
Kristen wiped away her tears as she spoke.
What Nathaniel did not notice was Kristen's gaze suddenly turned cold and ruthless.
Love made people selfish, and she had set her sights on this man who treated her with such care.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
