Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226 Boys or Girls

“Okay, no matter if Maggie’s caught on or not, we can’t just depend on her and Nathael’s relationship. I say we take a gamble. If the Adams can do it, why can’t we?”

“Are you thinking about taking out a mortgage with the Harrises?” Noah questioned.

“Yeah, if we don’t risk it, we’re doomed for sure. But if we do, there’s still a slim chance…”

They discussed for a while, figuring out which assets to use as collateral, which projects to invest in, and which celebrities to endorse.

Afterward, they all left the study one by one, and Maggie powered down her computer.

Sitting at her desk, lost in thought, she mulled over Master Cameron’s earlier words.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Maggie glanced at it. It was Timmothy.

She checked the time subconsciously and realised she was supposed to meet him tomorrow.

Timmothy?”

“Hey, Maggie. His warm voice came through the line.

“What’s up?” Maggie asked gently.

I caught your performance at the competition today. You’re really talented at the piano. I never knew,” Timmothy said, standing by the window while looking out into the night.

Maggie felt a bit puzzled but couldn’t quite grasp it.

“I took lessons when I was younger and stuck with it. Before I knew it, here I am.” Maggie replied warmly.

“I love playing the piano too. I used to get sick a lot as a kid, and my family wouldn’t let me play outside, so I ended up reading books and playing the piano out of boredom, Timmothy reminisced.

Maggie chuckled. “Sounds a bit sad, but having plenty of time to spend sounds like a good thing.”

When she was taken in by the Camerons as a child, she had spent a long time striving to excel, trying to prove to the Camerons that they had made the right choice adopting her.

She didn’t understand why she had to prove herself and repay them back then.

But now, she did. Even at a young age, she had a vague sense of the Camerons ulterior motives. Ronald and Olivia already had their own children, so there was no need to adopt her.

As the ‘extra‘ member who got to experience what she shouldn’t have, she had to be obedient and useful.

Only useful things wouldn’t be thrown away like garbage.

Timmothy fell silent. He had never heard such reasoning before. He never expected someone to view his secluded life as a good thing

He realised his life wasn’t so bad.

“Did you need something from me?” Maggie interrupted the silence.

“I just wanted to confirm if we’re still on for tomorrow’s house viewing at 2 PM, Timmothy inquired.

So, he’s confirming tomorrow’s plans.

“Meet you at your place at 2 PM?” Maggie suggested.

There was typically precise data provided by other company executives. But since she was the lead designer, she needed to inspect the site personally to better understand Timmothy’s preferences and ideas for better design outcomes.

“Okay, 2 PM it is.” Timmothy agreed, then asked, “Can I come cheer you on at your next competition?”

Maggie paused, not expecting Timmothy to make such a request.

The venue was a public event and had audience seats available, with some of them occupied by university students from Aquapolis and company corporate groups, and some open to the general public.

So, Timmothy could come anytime.

“Sure thing. There are plenty of talented performers besides me. If you like piano, you should definitely come watch. Maggie replied.
