Chapter 368 You Seem Quite Leisurely
Maggie struggled with the idea that her story with Nathael might not end well.
She understood that tragedies were a part of life. She was grateful for a chance to be reborn, but she couldn’t shake off her reluctance.
Leo was taken aback by her words, turning to her with surprise in his eyes.”
He had known her for years and knew she was cautious. She had given her all for the Camerons before, but she had done it with reservations.
However, her attitude towards Nathael was different.
Though she used to dislike him, now she says such a thing recklessly.
It was unlike her.
Yet. Leo couldn’t deny the sparkle in her eyes and the girlish charm she exhibited when she was with Nathael, as if she would entrust him with her life.
Sensing his gaze, Maggie turned and smiled. “I’m just thinking aloud.
The idea passed her mind briefly, but she knew it wouldn’t be wise.
Not for the child, not for Nathael.
She doubted she could accept Nathael marrying another woman, especially with a child involved. Not many would treat their stepchildren as their own.
They often said that parents would neglect their children from a previous marriage after they remarried.
She believed Nathael wasn’t that type of person, but she feared he would be alone forever to care for their child.
No matter what, it wouldn’t be a perfect ending.
The thought of the child growing up without her protection troubled her. It felt irresponsible to bring a child into the world without proper consideration.
In the car, Leo broke the silence. “Sounds like you’ve given it serious thought.”
Maggie admitted, “Yeah.”
She had never considered having children in her past life, and it felt surreal when she had such an idea now. She felt as if they would have a future if they had children together.
It was as if her life could continue that way.
Right then, she withdrew her thoughts as she acknowledged, “But I know I shouldn’t do that.”
Leo didn’t voice his opinion but simply remarked, “He’s lucky to have your trust.”
Maggie smiled. “Yeah, because I like him.”

Chapter 368 You Seem Quite Leisurely
Leo understood that liking someone wouldn’t make her so biassed towards him; she wasn’t like that with Joseph in the past.
Maggie had feelings back when she was younger, but she drew a line between herself and others.
Even if she gave everything she could, she would leave her heart in a small, desolate corner.
However, with Nathael, she was willing to love him and be biassed towards him without reservation.
Meeting his hesitation, Maggie’s gaze was firm as she said, “I trust you too, but I love him.”
Leo’s demeanour softened as he replied gently, “I know. I’ll be here for you?
