Though his tone remained steady, each word sent ripples through her heart, leaving her unsettled.
Ralph’s eyes narrowed slightly at Nate's declaration. Usually composed, he let a hint of irritation slip through.
Turning to Corrine, his expression darkened with a mix of scorn and amusement. “We'll see if she can actually

unyielding. But his patience ran dry. Without another word, he rose to his feet and stormed out.
