Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15 You Are The Best

Nathael was momentarily stunned, his black eyes locked onto her, and his Adam’s apple moved slightly.

The woman, elegant and breathtaking, looked at him with a serious yet tender expression, as if it were her sincerest desire.

Nathael couldn’t articulate his emotions. Even though he knew it wasn’t real, in that moment, his heart inexplicably warmed.

He chuckled coldly and said, “Don’t think I’ll fall for this.”

Upon hearing his words, Maggie simply smiled without offering an explanation. In her heart, however, she couldn’t help but feel a tinge of regret and wonder, “Is he really not falling for it?”

“Do you know about the incident where we were photographed entering and leaving the hotel suite together?”

Maggie suddenly recalled that incident after a moment.

“What’s the matter? Are you worried it might tarnish your reputation?” Nathael glanced at her, his voice deep and serious.

Maggie avoided his gaze and whispered, “No, I just wanted to remind you to be cautious, as someone

night use this incident against you.”

“Isn’t that what you want?” He spoke coldly, a slight lift at the corner of his eyes, his deep gaze tinged with mockery.

Maggie was momentarily stunned, realizing that he might have heard about the rumor that the Camerons were planning a press conference.

But if that was the case, why did he still help her today?

Maggie didn’t understand, just as she didn’t understand why, in her past life, she had hurt him so deeply, yet he still risked his life to save her.

But it didn’t matter. Maggie smiled and raised her red lips, saying, “That’s true. So Mr. Harris, what’s your. plan?”

Nathael stared at her for a moment, his gaze scrutinizing.

She seemed different, as if she had changed from before.

The moonlight was enchanting. Nathael chuckled, unable to resist, and lit a cigarette, holding it in his mouth. “Mutual consent, you’re an adult. Presumably, you understand this principle.”

Maggie was momentarily taken aback. She hadn’t expected him to not only not deny what happened that night but also deliberately mislead her, making her think that they had been intimate.

Maggie’s eyes widened in surprise, and she stared at him in astonishment.

“Mr. Harris, did we… really sleep together?”

Maggie couldn’t help but speak, feeling a bit confused herself. She vividly remembered Nathael saying that he hadn’t touched her back then, but at that time, she simply didn’t believe him.

But, but… now?

In the dim light, as she looked at his mist–covered face, which was both roguish and cold, Maggie fell into contemplation.

No, no, no. In her past life, Nathael had no reason to deceive her.

Moreover, aside from the headache after drinking, she didn’t feel anything else.

Tsk. he was quite the actor.

After realizing this, Maggie raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help but give Nathael a once–over, her gaze filled with disdain.

Nathael narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, ‘What’s the matter?”

Maggie casually averted her gaze, sighed, and said, “It’s nothing. I just thought that appearances can be deceiving. Mr. Harris…”

Pausing for a moment, as if hesitating to spare his feelings, she found it difficult to continue.

Nathael’s cigarette paused between his fingers as he waited for her to continue.

“Mr. Harris, you don’t seem to perform very well. Maggie muttered in a low voice, her words tinged with a hint of complaint.

Alex, who had been pretending to be dead all this time, heard these words. He hesitated on the accelerator, causing the car to sway as if he couldn’t decide whether to brake or not.

Oh my goodness!

Was this the kind of information he gets for free?

Nathael chuckled in exasperation.

It seemed like he had dug himself into a hole.

“Say that again!” Nathael’s eyes were intense, staring at her as he squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth.
