Chapter 351
Standing in front of this devoted man, | felt momentarily at a loss. | couldn't accept his love.
Nathan seemed to see right through me. He let out a soft laugh, trying to sound casual. “Sorry, | don’t want to
put any pressure on you. Actually, love has a deeper meaning-sometimes it's about helping the other person
find happiness.”
| blinked, caught off guard.
Nathan sighed softly. “I won't ask too much of you. Honestly, I'm already content with how things are between
us.”
“Thank you for understanding,” | said, genuinely grateful. | really didn’t want any pressure from a relationship
right now.
So maybe love doesn’t have to be all-consuming-just enough to keep things comfortable, leaving room to
breathe and not tying anyone down.
The trip to Shaville was set, and | dove headfirst into work. | was brainstorming ideas nonstop and running from

Work keptfulfilled and too busy to get lost in my own thoughts. My Englysian got way better just from talking
with people all the time, and honesty, that madepretty proud.
Before | knew it, September rolled around, and Yvonne was starting first grade.
She was enrolled in one of Hachester’s top international schools, and Jared had made sure every detail was
taken care of for her.
The day before Yvonne's first day, | made my way back to Hachester.
She'd already picked out all her school supplies and couldn't wait to show them off to me, grinning from ear to
ear.
It was obvious she was excited about her new school and meeting new friends. Yvonne was definitely ahead of
most kids her age-more mature, and way more gutsy. During the entrance exam, she confidently introduced
herself in Englysian, totally unfazed.
She even performed a piano piece and showed off a dance routine.
Watching those videos, | was struck by how much she’d learned in what felt like the blink of an eye while | was
away.
Jared had been really busy lately, and | had no idea if Amy had made any progress with him. I'd only seen him
once in a video meeting during this whole
time.
Since Yvonne was about to start school, Jared called and askedto have dinner with him.
“For Yvonne's sake, please don’t turndown, okay?” Jared's tone was much gentler than before.
With that, I nodded.
Jared had picked out a nice restaurant, and when | arrived with Yvonne, he was already waiting for us in a private
room.
“Your mom and Quinn aren’t coming?” | asked, thinking when he said family dinner, he meant everyone would
be here.
“It's just the three of us,” Jared replied.
Yvonne chimed in, “Mom, Dad didn’t invite Grandma and Aunt Quinn since they don’t really get along with you.”
| stared at Jared, a little stunned.
Jared explained in a calm voice, “I just wanted to have a nice dinner with you and Yvonne. If they came, it'd turn
into a battlefield. Even if you didn’t argue, they'd still find a way to say something out of line.”

| smiled. “So you've finally learned how to handle things betweenand your family.”
Jared gave a wry smile. “Guess my family was part of the reason you wanted the divorce, huh?”
| didn’t deny it he was right.
Wonne was all smiles, digging into her food and sneaking cheerful glances at Jared andas she ate.
My phone buzzed-it was Nathan calling.
He knew | was back in Hachester and seemed a bit eager to
see me.
He'd only managed to cto Shaville once lately, then had to rush back to Hachester for meetings. We hadn't
seen each other in days, and it was clear he really wanted to meet up.
| picked up the phone and stepped outside to take the call.
