Chapter 60 The Door That Opens for Her
Stella turned around just in time to see the villa gates swing open from the inside.
The handsome man was clearly out of breath from running, his chest rising and falling slightly. Once he stopped, be adjusted his glasses with a single finger. His voice was hoarse. “Sorry–I fell asleep
He was still wearing the same white hoodie from earlier. His soft hair hadn’t been styled, giving him a fresh, youthful book.
The way he stood there catching his breath looked just like a scene out of a high school romance–the kind where the boy runs, flustered, to meet his girlfriend after being late
Stella smiled. “Why’d you rush out like that? I wasn’t in a hurry. I thought maybe you weren’t home!
Ethan ludn’t expected Nathan to run over and apologize like that.
Was this really the same Nathan–always so calm, composed, and untouchable?
Ethan’s cold eyes flickered slightly. He turned the black rosary on his wrist with his left hand.
Maybe he needed to take back what he said earlier–about Mr. Foster not liking his sister.
That nervous feeling of not wanting someone to wait that, he understood.
Like when Stella had just come back and cleared the mall for her arrival, and he’d shown up way too early because he didn’t want Hannah to be the one waiting
Realizing this, Ethan wasn’t surprised at all.
Falling for his sister? That’s as easy as breathing Completely normal.
Nathan’s breathing slowly evened out. Through his glasses, he stared at the girl in front of him, his eyes filled with a sticky. excited warmth..
He’d been home all day.
He just hadn’t expected her to come back so soon after seeing Lucas.
During the day, work had helped keep his mind occupied. But as night fell, the anxiety crept in. The urge to message her grew stronger and stronger.
But he had no right to send her a message.
So he’d locked himself away in the hidden room behind his study
Only in that room could he trick himself into believing Sparkle was still by his side.
The signal in there was terrible, so messages came in late.
By the time he saw her message, he’d been overwhelmed with joy and bolted out of the room.
Even though Sparkle had gone to see the man she liked, she had still come back to his home.
That was enough
was home,” Nathan said, keeping his voice warm and gentle. His gaze never left her luminous face.
Stella stepped toward the door. “I should probably get a spare kry, so I don’t have to trouble you to open the door every
“It’s no trouble,” he said softly, but with quiet instence
Being able to open the door for her was a kind of happiness. How could it ever be considered a hasslet
Tion that poor signal in the hidden room. I really need to get it upgraded.

As she got closer. Nathan picked up the scent of smoke on her. His gaze dimmed.
Did Lucas not know Sparkle didn’t like cigarette smoke?
Why would be smoke around her
The next moment, his chest sank
What’s going on between Sparkle and Lucas nose!
Had they gotten back together? Or something else!
Was she going to start coming home late?
Tve got a lot of work lately. You coming home late is totally fine–I’ll definitely still be awake.”
Nathan added the words quickly.
|He was desperate to keep her from insisting on that key.
He could want for her.
As long as she came back, he’d wait as long as it took.
Nathan’s determination made Stella pause.
Was this some overbearing CEO’s territorial instinct?
Not having a key meant she didn’t have full freedom to come and go,
Him opening the door was a way of granting her access–a symbolic act of ownership.
But honestly, Stella didn’t care.
She was always the forgetful type. Even back at home, she never carried her own key.
As long as one of her brothers had it, someone would always open the door for her.
Nathan’s approach suited her just fine.
Alright. Then I won’t bother getting one.”
Tier eyes curved as she smiled, the porch light casting a soft glow on her heal. She looked breathtaking.
Nathan » glassy eyes filled with an almost delicious admiration.
At least now.. that smile wasn’t Lucas’s alone

knowing his spter’s habits, still felt it wasn’t ideal. “Mr. Foster, I think you should still give my sister a key. You’re busy with work and business trips happen. What if
“It’s fine.” “Nathan can in gen looking over at han “If I have to travel, I’ll let her know in advance and leave the key for

Geur key. Two poojale.
(At the very least, it tucant they could see each other openly every day. Walk a little of the road together.
And sure it was Nathan’s loosse, evou if he were just a regular guy, Ethan couldn’t really argue further.
