Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161 Grumpy

After hanging up the phone, Maggie retrieved her luggage and located the spot Mia had mentioned.

Her heart wasn’t quite in the moment as she climbed into the car, and her mind was still clouded by worry over Nathael’s injury.

Mia glanced at her, unable to help herself, and blurted out, “What’s up with you? Got dumped?”

Maggie turned to look at the woman beside her, the embodiment of allure with her wavy hair and slip dress. She said flatly, “I’m the one who dumps, not the other way around.”

“Sure, sure, so why the long face?” If Mia wasn’t driving, she’d have tossed Maggie a mirror.

Mulling over her thoughts, Maggie flipped down the sunvisor, and her reflection in the mirror revealed a beautiful face with a desolute expression.

With a sigh, Maggie confessed flatly. She sighed and said, “My baby got hurt, I’m feeling a bit down right

now.”

“What baby? Should I help you fix it?” Mia’s eyebrows arched, and there was a hint of curiosity in her voice.

Silence lingered for a few seconds before Maggie let out another sigh. She revealed, “It’s Nathael. He can’t be fixed.”

Mia was speechless for a moment.

“What happened to Nathael? Was it a serious injury to a vital part of his body?”

“Yes,” Maggie nodded earnestly.

Mia frowned and remarked, “That’s tricky, especially with that kind of injury. Hmm.”

Lost in her own thoughts, Maggie failed to fully understand Mia’s implication. After a while, she turned to her and asked, “What kind of injury?”

“You said he hurt a vital part of his body, right?” Mia asked with a knowing look.

Maggie was silent again.

“If it’s that bad, we might have to get a replacement, right? I can’t compromise your happiness for a lifetime over this,” Mia advised earnestly, though her brows were knit in concern.

“He hurt his arm, not…” Maggie paused, too exasperated to finish her sentence.

Mia was stunned. Realizing the misunderstanding, she quickly corrected herself and asked, “Then why so gloomy?”

I…

Maggie almost fainted from exasperation. She couldn’t explain this clearly, and she simply couldn’t get the

words out.

How important is an arm?

Chapter 161 Grumpy

Isn’t the arm crucial?

If Nathael were to lose an arm, how would that be okay?

Mia lived in a villa on Oyster Bay’s hillside, where she was served by eight servants. When Maggie arrived, the staff stood to attention, their greetings crisp and formal.

Maggie, unfazed by the display of affluence, followed Mia indifferently, as she was already accustomed to her extravagant lifestyle.

Mia had arranged for an early dinner followed by a SPA at After waking from a short nap, Maggie found she wasn’t sleepy when she went back to her room.

Clad in a silk nightgown. Mia poured two glasses of red wine and handed one to Maggie. She said, “Stop sulking. Others might think Nathael’s dead.”

Maggie remained speechless.

Couldn’t she say something nice?

That’s what she thought when she first met Mia, decked out in shimmering extravagance from head to toe, but she was irritating at first glance.

Taking the glass, Maggie was about to take a sip when her gaze fell on her wrist, and then she was stunned.

“What are you in a daze about now?” Mia asked.

Tve lost something!” Maggie exclaimed as she stood up abruptly, her complexion turning ashen. Her wrist was bare, and the red bracelet matching Nathael’s had vanished without a trace.

“When I came back, did you see a red bracelet on my wrist with a small diamond?” she asked urgently.

Mia replied with certainty, “No, from the moment you got into my car to now, there was nothing on your

Her mind was on Nathael. She must have lost it at the end of the exchange, the social obligations, and the packing.

Having lost the first item that matched Nathael’s so quickly, along with his injury, left Maggie feeling inexplicably irritable.

Watching Maggie’s eyes rim red with frustration, Mia smoothed her hair and spoke in a gentle voice, “A matching bracelet, Nathael? You have lost it. No big deal. He’s so rich, he can buy you a hundred more for you to lose every day!

Maggie was speechless.

Mia’s words offered no comfort.

She exhaled gently and consoled herself. She would have to design a new one herself; perhaps that would. be more meaningful.
