Chapter 322 A Bad Feeling
Master Harris looked at Maggie and said slowly, “It seems your requests have nothing to do with Nathael
Maggie gave a self–mocking smile and said, “He’ll be fine without me.”
He might be experiencing the same pain as she did,
Despite this, he would be fine.
Maggie wasn’t sure what ‘fine‘ meant anymore. Was she fooling herself, or was she just looking for an excuse to justify why she couldn’t be there for him?
Maybe the only thing she could do for him now was to keep Timmothy away.
She would closely monitor him to ensure that he didn’t have another opportunity to harm Nathael.
Next time, she would drive the dagger into his heart.
Master Harris didn’t blame her for making ambitious plans. Trading an impossible future for so many benefits, Maggie should have felt good about it.
In actuality, she couldn’t find any joy.
She tried to pull herself out of the sorrow and didn’t want to appear weak in front of others.
Maggie didn’t want to stay any longer. She stood up, looked at Master Harris, and said gently. “If you don’t need me, I’ll be going now.”
He sighed and asked, “Do you hate me?”
Maggie smiled lightly and said, “If I had a longer life, if I suffered countless hardships, if my days became unbearable, maybe I would hate you.”
Master Harris chuckled and said, “You’re quite insightful.”
Maggie shook her head. In terms of insightfulness; she couldn’t compare to Joyce, nor did she possess Joyce’s ruthlessness. She also couldn’t match Mia when it came to open–mindedness.
The only thing that set her apart was her stubbornness. She wandered through life, never looking back, even if it meant suffering battered and bruised.
She might be more stubborn than Mia and Joyce, but is stubbornness really a good thing?
Maggie brought herself back to the moment and asked Master Harris, “If I survive, will you give me a chance?”
Instead of responding, he posed the question, “Can you accept Nathael when he remarries?”
The question felt like a sharp stab to her heart. Her eyes turned red as she said, “Yes.”
She knew it sounded like humiliation.
Despite this, she knew that with Nathael’s abilities, even as a divorced man, he’d have countless women even
Master Harris was already making a compromise by asking.
Whether she could wait or whether their feelings could last was another matter entirely.
“If you survive, I’ll give you a chance,” he said.
Maggie nodded with tears in her eyes, but she forced a smile and said, “Deal.”
She turned and walked away, her back straight but with a hint of sadness in her posture.
The setting sun cast golden rays on the lake that dazzled her eyes.
Maggie chuckled softly. She ignored the pain from the glare and looked into the distance, but her vision blurred. If she could survive, she would be willing to wait for her chance.
In her previous life, he had waited so long for her. This time, she would wait for him.
After Maggie left, Master Harris let out a soft sigh and walked to the edge of the lake, gazing at the scenery in the distance.
From the side, the butler gently reminded him, “Ms. Adam has no intention to mention anything about the Adams.”
