Edward's face stiffened; he look
visibly disappointed. “Alright.”.
| pushed the door open and got out in a flash, heading straight into the school without daring to look back.
At noon, Nathan showed up right on tto pickup from school. He was dressed in a sharp business suit
today, looking handsand confident-like a rising tech mogul.
Seeing him, a slightly wicked idea popped into my head.
‘What if | stopped chasing after impossible dreams and just gave things a real shot with Nathan? Maybe we could
actually end up in a happy marriage,’ | thought to myself.
I'd heard that sometimes it’s better to be with someone who loves you than someone you love.
Nathan was standing by the car, looking like he was on top of the world. He opened the door for me,
with a smile. “Hop in.”
| walked over, grinning. “You took really sharp today. Super energetic.”
Nathan glanced down at his suit and laughed. “Is that all?”
“And pretty handstoo,” | teased.

His ears turned a little red. Nathan was never good at handling compliments-just one little praise and he'd get all
shy.
He still had that big puppy energy, totally different from Edward, who was all wolf-dangerous and unpredictable.
Once we were in the car, | asked Nathan where he was planning to take me.

Nathan hadn't really decided yet. He turned to me, asking for suggestions. “Where do you want to go? Want to
check out the scenery around here?”
| remembered | only had one class in the afternoon, starting at 3:30, so | had stto kill.
“Sure, let's go see the sights and take a walk,” | said, nodding.
Since we didn’t have much time, Nathan tookto London Bridge. He parked the car, and we wandered across
the bridge, taking in the view along the Thames. My heart felt calmer than it had in a long time.
Nathan always letwalk ahead, following a step or two behind.
| couldn't tell if that was his way of showing respect, or if, when it comes to love, it was just a gentle way of
letting his guard down.
“Victoria, you know, people say the more you've been through, the less you want to get married. Is that really
true?” Nathan asked out of nowhere.
| shot him a surprised look. “Why are you suddenly talking about this?”

Nathan stared off into the distance, his voice a little rough. “I just wonder, if you never get married, how do you
get through such a long life without regrets? I'm not like Mr. Holcomb-he’s got a kid, and that kid gives him a
reason to hustle every day, something to put his heart into. But me... | just feel like there's always something
missing.”
Hearing that, | felt a jolt and joked, “Oh, so you want a kid now? Then you should go find yourself a girlfriend and
settle down already.”
Nathan looked at me, his gaze deep. “Victoria, | wish my kid could be like you-with a kind heart.”
| was so startled, | just stared at him. “Don’t joke like that.”
Nathan's eyes flashed with a bit of
self—-mockery. “Yeah, I'm just kidding.
Like you'd ever really. Have G14 with
2 Praha baby is so painful and
risky—I couldn't bear to let you go
through that.” The content is on

| suddenly felt choked up. ‘Is Nathan starting to blur the line between being friends and something more?‘ |
wondered.
He says he wants to be friends, but then turns around and tries to sweet-talkinto having his baby.
“Nathan, I'm not planning on having

Nathan was stunned for a moment, lost in thought, then gave a self-deprecating little laugh. “Alright, | was just
talking nonsense. | won't say things like that again to make you uneasy.”
“I'm not uneasy. Honestly, | appreciate you being upfront about what's on your mind,” | said gently, trying to
reassure him.
Nathan stopped in his tracks and
turned to look at me. “At the meeting

Victoria: Hearing that, my eyes burned and | felt tears prickling at the corners.
Victoria: | quickly walked a few steps ahead, not wanting Nathan to notice | was getting emotional too.
The wind on the bridge was biting, so we didn’t make it far before we hurried back to the car.
Over lunch, Nathan suddenly slippedan invitation. “There’s a banquet tonight. Want to go with me?”
