Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 800

Nadine and Sebastian stood side by side in the elevator, its polished walls reflecting their faces with striking clarity.

Even though she was gazing at their reflections, she wasn't looking at anything in particular. She was just lost in thought. When Sebastian abruptly spoke up, she snapped out of her daze, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Her cheeks flushed a bright red as she awkwardly averted her gaze. "Huh? I wasn't—That's absolutely not the case!" Worried he might misunderstand, she waved her hands repeatedly.

Truth was, she hadn't been looking at him. She was thinking about a question from her coursework. His question made her hesitate to look at him again. Knowing she couldn't promise him anything, she didn't want to give him any false hope.

For a moment, his eyes dimmed, but he hastily collected himself. "Relax, I was just joking! No need to get so flustered. If I had known you couldn't take a joke, I wouldn't have said anything."

Nadine was about to respond when the elevator chimed, signaling they'd reached their floor. The doors slid open.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Sebastian used a key card to unlock one of the doors. "This is your room. I'm right next door, so just call if you need anything."

He rolled her suitcase into her room, waved goodbye with a smile, then casually closed the door behind him. When the door clicked shut, he briefly closed his eyes, and a fleeting look of sadness flashed in his gaze.

At that moment, he desperately wanted to ask Nadine, "Have you ever truly loved someone? Do you even know what that feels like?" Yet, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Despite her smiles and the amusing anecdotes she shared with him, she kept him at arm's length. No matter what he did, he couldn't seem to reach her heart. It frustrated him. Yet, he also felt powerless.
