BookToReadChapter 392 That evening, Nathan and Nathalie chatted late into the night. To Nathalie, Nathan seemed like a bit of an innocent person, still trying to figure out the world. She worried about the pain he'd face if betrayed by loved ones and all the challenges he might encounter while on the run. She covered everything, from being cautious with friends to managing the basics of everyday life, leaving nothing out.
Nathan, for his part, was completely absorbed in her words. Realizing she'd been doing most of the talking, Nathalie gave a shy smile and said, "Nathan, I must sound like an old lady, rambling on like this." Nathan squeezed her hand and replied, "I love hearing you talk. Please, tellmore." In this world, Nathalie was the only one who cared enough to guide him like this. How could Nathan not appreciate such a rare moment? Many times, Nathan's eyes flickered with a mix of emotions. It was as if he wanted to interrupt, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"If you want to, go ahead," he said.
Nathalie smiled. "That's your private stuff, I won't peek." Nathan checked his watch. "It's almost tfor boarding, so I should get going." Nathalie walked with him into the airport as the announcement urging passengers to board echoed in the background.
"Nathan, it's tto go." A wave of reluctance washed over Nathalie, and her eyes suddenly misted up. She handed him his luggage. "Nathan, take care. I'll be waiting for you to cback." Nathan seemed entranced, gazing at Nathalie. At that moment, his eyes were full of a complex, tangled emotion.
