BuzzNovelChapter 1447: Carl looked at him, and in that moment, he understood everything. Nate wasn't just greeting him; he was making a statement-publicly declaring his relationship with Corrine.
Carl had held onto a tiny bit of hope. But Nate's gesture snuffed it out. After tonight, there would be no more hiding. Corrine and Nate were a couple in the public eye.
