Chapter 397 Have You Fallen for Someone Else?
Maggie’s face flushed red, and the steamy air misted her eyes, making them look wet and blurry.
“Let go of me first, and you can leave! Maggie forced herself to stay calm, getting crazier by the moment.
but this man wa
She slightly turned away to avoid his gaze, her heartbeat à mess.
Nathael’s dark eyes fixed on her, his thin lips parting slightly as he said coldly, “Nana, my patience is limited,”
Maggie’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and her throat tightened, leaving her unable to speak for a long
moment.
She knew Nathael was warning her.
He wasn’t known for his patience, and although he had backed down repeatedly, a man of his status, accustomed to adulation, wouldn’t likely tolerate her cold demeanour for long.
Maggie lowered her eyes, her voice cold, “I understand. You go first.”
Nathael stared at her for a few seconds, then slowly let go and turned to leave the bathroom, changing into a different set of clothes.
As soon as he left, Maggie felt as if all her strength had drained away, leaning against the cold wall and gasping for air.
She didn’t know how things with Nathael had gotten to this point, but she was aware of her own inability to be harsh, the less harsh she could be, the more likely she was to compromise. She couldn’t bear to see him disappointed or hurt, so much so that she dared not look at him.
The water started pouring down from above again, probably out of fear that he might burst in again. Maggie showered quickly, leaving the bathroom in less than ten minu
Nathael was sitting on the couch in the bedroom, his hair half–dry, his handsome face less gentle than before and more intensely stern, making the entire room feel tense and somber.
Maggie, drying her hair, averted her gaze, planning to spend some time in the living room.
But in the next instant, his deep, appealing voice came from behind her, “Come here,”
Maggie paused in her hair–drying, remembering his madness and ruthlessness from the night before, her heart trembling along with her uneven breath.
She stood still, not daring to immediately walk out of the bedroom.
Perhaps tired of waiting, or simply in a bad mood, Nathael looked up, his gaze falling on her silhouette, his voice ice–cold, “I don’t want to say it a second time.”
Maggie’s heart thudded heavily, as if a drum had been slammed down hard.
She knew that perhaps he was disappointed in her, or maybe he hated her…

her every wish.
And all this was because she had pushed him away.
Maggie lowered her eyes to calm herself for a moment, then slowly turned around and walked towards the man sitting on the couch, steadying herself beside him.
“Is there something you need?”
She couldn’t bear to be at odds with him any longer, but it seemed like after suggesting they break up, didn’t know how to interact with him anymore.
she
Nathael let out a self–deprecating laugh, his beautiful phoenix eyes tinged red at the corners, his clear eyes filled with faint bloodshot lines.
Since when had they needed a reason just to talk?
“Ms. Adam, you being so distant really breaks my heart, Nathael spoke sombrely, his gaze shadowy, his expression unmasked in its chill and mockery.
Maggie felt a sourness in her chest, but faced with his mockery, she remained silent.
Nathael pulled her onto the couch and flipped her underneath him, his voice hoarse, “Is breaking up really necessary?”
Maggie’s eyelashes trembled as she looked up at the handsome face so close to hers, and slowly said, “Yes.”
Nathael scoffed, his eyes growing more sinister.
“Am I of no further use to Ms. Adam then?”
His words twisted a knife in Maggie’s heart. It felt as though a giant hand was gripping her heart, kneading it over and over. The pain moved like a sprite within her, seeking release but finding none.
Eventually, she could only restrain herself, managing a smile while letting her heart be torn into shreds.
But Maggie knew, what right did she have to be upset?
Nathael was probably in more pain and more disappointed than she was…
In that moment, Maggie almost felt an urge to tell him the whole truth.
But those words just couldn’t be said when they reached her lips.
Just mentioning breaking up had already brought him to this state.
If he knew she was going to die, how would he cope, following her into death just like in her past life?
It might be better to let him hate her, keep the secret for a few more years, and when he finally learns of her death one day, he would only think she got what she deserved.
Maggie lowered her eyes, feigning indifference. “The Camerons don’t stand a chance anymore, and I’m the heiress to Adam Group, Mr. Harris may still be of value, but I don’t want to spend my life appeasing anyone or watching someone’s face anymore.

Nathael’s eyes reddened, and veins stood out on his forehead from his effort to restrain himself.

“You better not regret said today.”
His words came squeezed through clenched teeth, the dark gloom in his eyes nearly bringing Maggie to
Tears.
She curved her lips in a careless smile. “Who knows, I might regret it, since men like Mr. Harris are rare. But as the saying goes, ‘Out with the old, in with the new, right? Mr. Balslev…
Maggie feigned a slip of the tongue, mentioning a name and then stopping abruptly.
Nathael narrowed his eyes, his look almost menacing. “Have you fallen for someone else?”
At this, Maggie simply said, “What’s the point of saying that? Sooner or later, I’ll like someone else and fall in love with someone new. But don’t worry, Mr. Harris, I’m not one for long–term affection. Who knows, the next or the one after might not even compare to you
Before Maggie could finish, Nathael fiercely pressed his lips onto hers, his lips moving as if every word she spoke was like stabbing him in the heart.
“Mmm….
Maggie whimpered, her breath mingled with the distinct cold cedar scent that belonged uniquely to him, intertwining in the dim light, dangerous and profound.
In the clear light of the floor–to–ceiling windows, their overlapping figures reflected on the couch.
Nathael was clearly not in as good a mood as the day before. The casually mentioned name ‘Balslev‘ had utterly enraged him.
His kisses, like a torrential downpour, were forceful and intense.
Maggie’s breathing was erratic, acutely aware of the warmth of his fingertips, her entire body tensed like a drawn bow, shrinking and uneasy.
She didn’t plan to ask him to stop anymore because she knew clearly that this time Nathael wouldn’t let go.
Besides, Maggie didn’t want to admit that the deepest, most hidden part of her heart didn’t also pleasure she found with him?

Maggie knew that perhaps after this parting, no one would rush back to be with her on a rainy day, nor would anyone hold her in their arms on a cold winter’s day again.
There would no longer be anyone to watch boring movies with her, nor would someone be there to lie close to her on deep, cold nights…
