The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret novel Chapter 378

Frey was stunned, looking at Nathaniel in disbelief. He was a major figure in Saeville, where every second of his time was valuable and meticulously planned.

Yet, he had left everything behind, personally driving back just to bring her the pancake he liked from his childhood.

Frey's emotions were mixed. Even though she didn't have much of an appetite, she couldn't reject the pancake. It was a simple gesture but filled with deep affection.

Quickly taking the paper bag from Nathaniel, she lowered her head and started eating.

The pancake, which cost only fifty cents, felt a bit greasy but was filled with sentiment.

"Is it good?" Nathaniel asked, his eyes shining like a child's.

Avoiding his gaze, Frey took another bite and smiled, "It's delicious! Buy me some more next time!"

The tension in Nathaniel's face finally melted away. He held her in his arms, kissed her hair softly, and laughed, "I also lived in Saeville for a while as a child, and then..."

He stopped abruptly. He didn't want to revisit the painful memories of his father's helicopter crash and the subsequent hardships his family endured in a foreign country.

He shifted the conversation, reflecting on how he and Frey had lived in the same city for years without knowing each other well, due to the strained relationship between their families at the time.

"Koen has been preparing for our engagement ceremony. Do you want to visit the man-made island this afternoon? The setup has been done for a while. If there's anything you want to change, we can tell Koen."

"Okay! But do you have time to come with me?"

Nathaniel hesitated. He had a meeting in the afternoon but then decided, "I have time. I always have time for you."
