Chapter 157 Go Back To Your Homeland!
Maggie’s throat tightened. Could such a coincidence really happen?
Unable to help herself, she carefully observed Timmothy’s expression. However, his slightly pale and delicate, clean, and harmless face only conveyed a hint of nostalgia for his old friend. There was nothing suspicious about it.
Was she overthinking?
“It seems like someone is looking for you,” Timmothy spoke gently, indicating the direction at the end of the corridor.
Maggie turned her head and saw Nathael approaching. He probably thought she hadn’t returned for too long.
“Then I’ll be going. Goodbye.”
“It’s nice to meet you, Maggie.” Timmothy smiled, his demeanour sunny yet pale, but it felt sincere and
carnest.
Maggie nodded and walked to Nathael’s side. “Are you in a hurry?”
Nathael grabbed her hand and glanced in Timmothy’s direction, his voice low. “Why did it take so long?”
“I accidentally knocked his things over. I stopped to help pick them up.” Maggie explained.
Nathael didn’t ask further, holding Maggie’s hand as they returned to their previous spot.
After a satisfying meal, Maggie received a call from her mentor. Nathael whispered, “I’ll go settle the bill.”
Maggie nodded, indicating he could go ahead as she needed time to answer the call.
“There’s no need to rush,” Nathael said softly, leaving with a furrowed brow and a worried expression.
Timmothy, who should have left long ago, did not leave.
Seeing Nathael, the slender man couldn’t help but smile and say, “You’ve come later than I expected.”
The next moment. Nathael’s fist smashed into his face.
Timmothy staggered back from the blow, almost losing his balance and failing to steady himself.
The pain on his cheek was burning hot, accompanied by an intense sensation of heat. Timmothy remained composed, wiping the blood from the corner of his lips with his hand. When he looked at Nathael, he couldn’t help but smile.
The next instant, Nathael grabbed his neck, pressing him heavily against the wall.
Rare fury flashed in Nathael’s eyes, the smouldering fire lending a chilling intensity. His pitch–black eyes bore into the man before him, their depths murky and unfathomable, like the depths of an endless sea.

lightly parting.
With his throat gripped, Timmothy showed neither fear nor anger. He stared directly at Nathael, and at smile emerged on his gradually purpling face. He coughed lightly before saying. “Ahem, after all these years… it’s the first time I’ve seen you… so worked up.”
Nathael chuckled coldly, his smile icy and cruel.
“You’d better listen to me,” Nathael warned with a firm tone. “Otherwise, I’ll make sure you disappear from this world.”
Timmothy stared at him for a few seconds, his normally clean and harmless eyes now displaying a hint of cunning. It diluted the youthful and sunny aura around him, replacing it with a sense of complexity and
darkness.
Timmothy forced a smile, appearing frail and harmless. I’ve always been good at listening to you, haven’t
P
However, Nathael didn’t soften his expression because of Timmothy’s words. He stared at him for a long time until Timmothy’s eyelids drooped from a severe lack of oxygen..
At this moment, Timmothy still struggles to maintain a smile.
There was neither desperation for impending death nor struggle. Despite the fear of suffocation, there was no physiological response as one would expect.
On the contrary, his eerie calmness was terrifying, so it felt somewhat unsettling.
It was as if he was smilingly embracing death, giving off the illusion that even death couldn’t completely
control him.
Nathael suddenly let go, and Timmothy, leaning against the wall, began to cough violently. “Ahem… Ahem
Due to an extreme lack of oxygen, his body went limp, and the handsome face, now flushed, gained a touch of broken beauty. Timmothy paused for a moment, then looked up at Nathael, speaking in a hoarse voice, “Thanks for letting me go, Nathael.”
“Go back to your homeland!” Nathael said coldly, giving him a deep look.
With those words, he withdrew his gaze and turned away, walking off
Timmothy stood in place, watching his figure recede into the distance. Bathed in shadow, he slowly tugged at the corner of his lips, exuding a hint of complexity.
After hanging up the phone, Maggie saw that Nathael hadn’t returned yet, so she decided to go out.
He was smoking in the smoking area, standing by the window with one hand in his pocket, his gaze icy, lost in thought.
Maggie knocked on the glass door. He looked up, extinguished the cigarette, walked out, and said gently, “Are you done?”

“Yeah, there wasn’t much to it. The teacher just asked how the exchange went and reminded me to prepare. for the piano competition when I return.”
After explaining, Maggie stood on tiptoe in front of him, grabbed his collar, and leaned in to sniff at him.
“You smell bad.” She wrinkled her nose, a hint of disgust evident on her face.
Although Nathael smoked, there was only a faint scent of cedar. However, after visiting the smoking area, he was indeed enveloped in a strong, pungent smell of smoke.
Indeed, even immortals couldn’t avoid common habits.
Nathael washed his hands and then took off his coat. He spoke softly, “I won’t smoke outside anymore.”
Maggie nodded in satisfaction. That was about right.
Maggie and Nathael strolled around the mall together, bought a few things, and then decided to head back.
As the car approached, Maggie turned to him and asked, “When are you going back?”
Nathael thought for a moment before replying in a deep voice, “I’ll probably leave two days after you.”
Upon hearing this, Maggie pouted in dissatisfaction, feeling a bit disappointed.
However, she understood. After all, Nathael wasn’t a leisurely young man. On the contrary, he was very busy.
Coming over this time must have involved much effort and difficulty,
Nathael pulled her onto his lap, his dark eyes fixed on hers, and asked softly, “Why? Do you miss me?”
“Yeah, then hurry back after you’re done being busy.” Maggie didn’t deny it, nodding in agreement.
If it weren’t for her upcoming piano competition back home, Maggie would have been willing to wait for him for those two days. However, with graduation approaching and a lot going on at home, she was also very busy.
Maggie estimated that Shawn’s goods would soon arrive, in addition to the piano competition.
“Okay.”
“And I’m still mad at you, so make sure you write a sincere apology letter, Maggie reminded him with a raised eyebrow.
Nathael couldn’t help but kiss her cheek again and whisper, I’ll write it well and give it to you.”
After Maggie returned to the hotel, Alex restarted the car and drove away.
“Ask Nolan to go watch over her.” Nathael pondered for a moment before speaking in a low voice.
Alex paused. He knew Nolan had always been secretly protecting Nathael. “How about waiting until we get hack? This trin was hasty and you didn’t bring many neonle”

*No need. Have Nolan go over there immediately.”
Hearing this, Alex could only comply.
Nathael had another project to inspect in the afternoon and a meeting to attend in the evening, making his schedule quite busy.
The car smoothly traversed the streets of the foreign country while Nathael continued to ponder Timmothy’s appearance.
“Boss, we’ve got a tail,” Alex said, furrowing his brow as he glanced at the rearview mirror. He pressed down. on the accelerator, trying to shake off the pursuer.
