Chapter 813
Thus, North left his seat and went over to a roomier spot.
Brian had been teaching him how to fight lately.
North was someone who knew what was good for him, too. Even though he loved playing around most of the time,
he was always fully attentive when it was time for his lessons. This was one of the reasons why Brian was fond of
him.
It wasn't just because they were related, but also because North was genuinely a decent boy.
North warmed up a bit before crouching down and getting into a ready stance. His little face was serious and stern
as he balled his fists and began showing off what he learned.
By the time he finished, beads of sweat had gathered all along his forehead, and the crowd clapped enthusiastically
for him as they showered him with praises.
Their compliments made North a little embarrassed. He sat down at the table and the game continued.

but Nathan instead.
Nathan eyed North as he wondered whether it would be better to drink the wine or fulfill the little boy's request
instead.
Well, no one liked being forced to drink, but at the same time, Nathan knew that North was full of mischievous
ideas. He might come up with something even worse than drinking.
Thus, Nathan was caught between the two options.
North grinned at Nathan. "Are you drinking, or are you doing what I tell you to?"
Nathan closed his eyes and made his decision. "Go ahead and say it."
North had a sly smile on his face, but seeing how Nathan placed his trust in him, he decided not to take it too far. "I
want you to hug one of the women in this room."
Everyone got excited once they heard that because this was the perfect opportunity for Nathan.
He chuckled as his eyes moved toward Kate.
At the same time, she turned bright red as she huffed at North. What kind of a request is that?
North giggled.
Nathan got up and walked over to Kate. "Looks like you'll have to lend me a hand with this, Katie."
"Why me?" she huffed.
"Because I wouldn't dare to hug any other woman besides you. I don't want to get beaten up," he whispered he
leaned closer to her.
Kate held her arms out begrudgingly.
Nathan happily pulled her into his arms. This was their first proper hug ever since they broke up. Previously, she
would always reject him whenever he wanted to hug her.
As he held her in his arms today, everything felt more real to him. His heart settled down.
He whispered in her ear, "I like you, Katie!"
Kate stiffened when she heard him. Her heart started thumping wildly and her mind went blank for a moment. Even
her face turned scarlet at once, and she could still feel the warmth of his breath lingering by her ear.

came back.
All this while, Nathan had been too afraid that she might not like what he did, so he didn't dare to do anything
intimate. He would even be too afraid to hold her hand again if she yanked it away from him, let alone give her a
hug.
Well, she never thought it would be her godson's request that enabled her to feel what it felt like to be in love again.
Kate lowered her eyes and smiled as her face flushed with embarrassment.
She finally realized that she had been longing to be close to him, too. Perhaps she needed the proximity to be in the
dating mood again!
As she started wrestling with the idea of pushing Nathan away out of embarrassment, North jumped in. "I'll give you
a ten-second countdown. Ten, nine, eight, seven…"
Nathan was immensely satisfied that he could hold her for ten seconds more.
In the past, he used to think that she didn't seem all that feminine, but right now, he could feel just how slender and
soft she was. She even smelled heavenly. Why did I even think that she wasn't feminine?
