Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176 A Tragic Death

ll take a look at the architectural plans for your residence. Don’t hesitate to discuss your desired style and financial constraints. I’ll provide you with a half–price reduction on the design fee.”

Maggie brushed off the topic. She took out her notebook and began writing.

Fll send the drawings to your mobile phone. After saying that, Timmothy paused when about to send it, and looked up at Maggie. “Mind if I hit you up on WhatsApp?”

Maggie was cool with it as she has many clients contact in her WhatsApp.

“Sure thing.”

Once connected on WhatsApp, Timmothy sent the floor plan of the house, complete with building area, location, and other information.

Maggie didn’t rush to look at it but glanced at his picture snap.

A soft, fluffy little white dog that looks harmless and lovable. It feels a bit like Timmothy.

“I’m not in good health, so I hope to have a garden with a delightful view, filled with flowers, foliage, and streaming water. The design ought to be sleek and refined, steering clear of excessive ornamentation.

“T’d also like to have an area for a piano, either a wall filled with books or a large stud and a place dedicated

to art

“I have quite a liking for toy decorations, maybe a bit excessive, and a dedicated

space for my collection.”

Maggie delved into Timmothy’s preferences meticulously, obtaining a deeper understanding of his background and character.

Timmothy was frail and sickly since he was a child, which resulted in him seldom interacting with others and did not have many playmates when he was young.

Despite his quiet and childish character, he leaned towards classy items but also had a soft spot for robot action figures.

Maggie felt confident that she could fulfill ais wishes within his financial constraints.

To Maggie’s surprise, Timmothy’s family circumstances seemed better than she had imagined.

“It’s a bit too late today. When can we swing by your place in the next couple of days? I need to double- check some stuff.”

An hour later, Maggie looked at the sky and said gently.

“Sure thing.”

With the deposit settled, Timmothy said his goodbyes to Maggie.

Maggie stood up to see him off. When they walked to the elevator, she asked tentatively, “Mr. Yonathan Timmothy, how’s that friend you mentioned earlier?*

Chapter 176 A Tragic Death

Inexplicably, Maggie felt nervous

She even didn’t know why she was so nervous.

After entering the elevator, Maggie said softly, Timothy?”

Gazing towards her, Timmothy’s complexion seemed pallid. With a feeble grin, he murmured, “She’s no longer with us.”

Maggie was startled, caught off guard by his words.

“Was it because of sickness?” 

Despite being aware she shouldn’t delve deeper, she couldn’t suppress her curiosity.

It’s too similar.. and so weird….

Timmothy’s head shook slightly, a touch of sorrow reflected in his eyes, as he whispered, “She had a tragic death. I’m not sure if you’re interested in knowing the details.”

“Without awaiting Maggie’s reply, Timmothy shifted topics, “Do you mind if I called you Maggie? Calling you by Ms. Adam sounds overly formal”

“Absolutely! Just call me Maggie.” Maggie nodded, opting not to delve deeper.

Given Timmothy’s trust in her for the house design, there would be numerous occasions ahead.

Grinning at her, Timmothy commented, “Alright then, Maggie, we’ll catch up again soon.”

As the elevator doors gradually shut, Maggie’s gaze grew more focused.

There’s a mysterious sensation that persists, inexplicable yet palpable.

She consistently sensed Timmothy guiding her, prompting her curiosity.

What defines a death as tragic?

Was her demise categorized as such?

Maggie pivoted and ambled towards the window, peering downstairs for a moment Timmothy departed via bus, clad in headphones, resembling a university student.

Maggie diverted her attention and scrutinized the red bracelet clasped in her hand.

Rather than heading home, Maggie decided to have a drink with Leo and Mia at a club.

Leo, fixated on his laptop, greeted her with the news. “Cameron’s stocks have taken a nosedive, with sales across all stores plummeting to a mere 20% of their previous levels.”
