Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Planting Strawberries

Nora remained silent for a moment, her hands tightly gripping the table, clearly inexperienced in such

matters.

But she was desperate for money, and after seeing the man’s photos and information, she couldn’t deny. that the man was appealing enough to stir her heart.

He wasn’t the wealthy playboy she had expected, nor was he overweight. Instead, he was the kind of man she would never have the opportunity to meet in her lifetime.

So she was willing, especially since she would also receive a generous reward.

–

“Ms. Adam, can I ask what I should do when I meet him?” Nora glanced at Maggie, unable to resist asking-

After a brief silence, Maggie looked at her directly and said calmly. “Just do whatever it takes to make him happy.”

“To make him happy-

After those words, Maggie added, “I’ll give you a heads–up when the time comes. Just be ready.”

With that, she stood up and left without lingering.

Nora sat at the table alone for a while, seemingly resolving something in her mind.

Nathael closed the page, feeling a heavy weight in his chest.

He cast his eyes down, reassuring himself that it was all in the past.

Nathael unlocked his phone again, swiftly blocking both Beth’s number and WhatsApp.

Just then, Maggie stepped out of the bathroom after finishing her shower.

Walking into the living room, she noticed the bedroom door ajar. He stood by the desk, lost in thought, his silhouette carrying a hint of loneliness, which inexplicably weighed on her chest.

“Nathael?” Maggie tapped on the door softly, calling out his name.

But he remained unresponsive, as if he hadn’t heard her at all.

Approaching him, Maggie gently wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, then leaned her cheek against his shoulder. “What’s on your mind?”

Nathael snapped out of his thoughts, placing his large hand over hers resting on his waist.

“Not much, just some work stuff to handle at the company.”

“Still busy? I’ll keep you company” Maggie couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

“No need, you should go to bed first. With that, Nathael took her hand and led her back to the bedroom.

Maggie obediently followed by his side, unable to resist turning her head to look at him. “Are you feeling

She couldn’t quite put her finger on why she felt this way, but she had a vague sense that he wasn’t in the

best mood.

“Yeah, so, would you mind cheering me up a bit?” Nathael spoke softly, his deep eyes fixed on her charming and obedient face.

Maggie chuckled softly. “How old are you that you always need cheering up?”

Nathael pulled her into his embrace, resting his handsome face against her neck. His voice was low and slightly muffled, tinged with a hint of vulnerability. “Three years old.”

Maggie paused for a moment, then reached out to gently run her fingers through his hair.

“What’s the matter? Why are you suddenly feeling down?”

Nathael didn’t respond audibly, but he held her tighter. “Maggie, I love you more than what you think.”

Maggie’s throat tightened, and her hand halted briefly. She whispered, “I know.”

Nathael lowered his gaze, trying to convince himself that things were fine now and there was no need to dwell on the past.

Still, he couldn’t shake off his unease, fearing that it might all be just a fleeting dream.

“Nathael, do you enjoy strawberries?” Maggie blinked, her voice soft as she asked.

Nathael raised his head, his eyes deep and inscrutable as he looked at her, but he didn’t say a word.

“I’ll plant a strawberry for you.”

Maggie Adam’s eyes sparkled mischievously, and before Nathael Harris could react, she tiptoed and lightly kissed his collarbone.

Nathael Harris remained motionless on the spot.

After a few seconds, Maggie Adam raised her head and noticed a faint pink mark on the man’s fair and alluring collarbone.

Maggie’s cheeks flushed slightly, avoiding Nathael’s gaze as she turned and climbed into bed, saying, “Let’s sleep!”

Nathael walked over to the mirror, staring at the ‘strawberry on his collarbone for a moment.

After a while, he chuckled, feeling considerably better despite everything.
