Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 If She Wants It, I’ll Give It To Her

Though uncertain of its truth, Maggie found herself in a good mood at that moment.

Nathael, too, felt content, except for the fact that the dish wasn’t seafood.

Under the warm yellow light, the food steamed slightly, obscuring their faces. Maggie had little appetite and, after finishing her meal, she propped her chin with one hand and stared blankly at the man across from her.

Nathael ate more than usual, but he barely touched the seafood curry.

He wiped his mouth with a napkin, looked up, and saw her staring blankly, her gaze falling on him, but her focus elsewhere. He wondered what she was thinking.

Her hair fell around her ears, adding a touch of gentleness to her usual bright and charming demeanor. Even when facing him, her eyes were less guarded and distant, as if filled with unspoken joy.

Nathael couldn’t tell if her acting skills had improved or if she truly had ulterior motives.

But in that moment, he didn’t want to distinguish between truth nd falsehood anymore. Instead, he felt an uncontrollable desire to possess and dominate her, regardless of the means or consequences, even if it

meant she would hate him for it.

Nathael’s throat moved slightly, and he slowly lowered his eyes, concealing the dark red desire and obsession in his gaze.

Having tasted the sunlight, he could no longer bear the darkness.

It wasn’t until Nathael stood up to clear the dishes that Maggie snapped back to reality,

“Are you finished eating? I’ll wash the dishes,” she said with a smile, picking up the plates.

What a wonderful day!

As for Joseph, that jinx, she had completely ignored him.

But Nathael didn’t allow her to help. He took off his suit jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and said, “Help me take off my watch.”

“Oh. Maggie was momentarily stunned, then quickly stepped forward and carefully unfastened the expensive watch from his wrist.

Nathael didn’t say anything else and began cleaning up the dishes.

“I’ll wash them.” Maggie stood there awkwardly with the watch in her hand, watching him effortlessly take control of the situation.

He didn’t seem like the type of person who would do such things.

But surprisingly, when he performed these mundane tasks, it didn’t feel out of place at all.

“Oh, okay.” Maggie looked down at the simple and elegant watch in her hand, thinking that it must be one of his favorites, or he wouldn’t have mentioned it twice.

Maggie recognized the brand; after all, the Camerons had always been generous to her. But since the money wasn’t hers, she didn’t know much about it, even though she recognized the brand.

She carefully held the watch, walked to the living room, and felt his warmth still lingering on the watchband.

When she returned. Maggie simply stood there, watching him work, with nothing to do.

Twenty minutes later, Nathael finished cleaning up. He looked at the red spots gradually appearing on his arm and frowned slightly.

He rolled down his sleeves and turned to Maggie. “Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Adam.”

Seeing her about to leave, Maggie handed him his suit jacket. Just as she was about to retrieve his watch, she noticed two small red spots on the back of his hand and blurted out, “Your hand…”

“I was accidentally bitten by something.” Nathael covered it without any change in his expression.

Maggie pouted unhappily. “That thing is really mischievous,”
