Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373 Sierra’s Scheme

When evening fell, Maggic hastened to shower upon her return, anticipating Nathael’s imminent arrival.

After all, the aroma emanating from her medicine concoctions during her clinic hours was quite potent. She couldn’t shake off the strong medicinal scent clinging to her body.

Upon completing her shower, Nathael returned, prompting her arms to instinctively clench.

Observing the long–sleeved pyjamas she had donned, effectively concealing the needle punctures on her arm, she eased into a sense of relief.

“Did you arrive back? Why didn’t you call me?” Nathael enfolded her tenderly, his hands finding solace on her waist, and tenderly planted a kiss on her forehead.

“I arrived home recently. Leo offered me a lift, so I refrained from troubling you.”

Nathael chuckled, his gaze intensifying. “You appear quite familiar with him.”

Maggie leaned in, her arms encircling his neck as she planted a gentle kiss on his lips, whispering, “It doesn’t compare to being close to you.”

A shadow flickered across Nathael’s eyes. The notion of her intimacy with others ignited a fierce jealousy within him.

“You naughty girl!” His voice rumbled, low and husky, as he swept her up and placed her gently on the dining table. His fingers lightly gripped her chin before capturing her lips in a kiss.

“Did you have a good day today?” Nathael inquired softly.

Chapter 373 Sierra’s Scheme.

“Yes, I did. Now, off to the shower with you,” Maggie replied, cautious not to divulge too many details to him.

As Nathael showered, she perused the vegetables in the refrigerator, swiftly preparing two dishes and a soup.

Following their meal, Maggie settled into the living room, engrossed in a movie, with Nathael by her side, multitasking with his work.

Yet Maggie found herself unable to focus on the movie before her.

How could she delicately approach the topic of breaking up? The overwhelming displays of affection made crafting a reason for the breakup exceedingly challenging.

Her gaze lifted to the man seated beside the coffee table. His countenance. exuded an air of icy precision. His visage was pristine and striking, as if sculpted by divine hands. His chiselled nose, elevated and elegant, possessed a delicate refinement uncharacteristic of masculinity.

However, when viewed head–on, his demeanour lacked any hint of femininity. His sharp eyes held a depth akin to the abyss, inexplicably captivating.

Though Nathael seemed disinterested in the movie, he keenly sensed Maggie’s gaze upon him.

“What’s on your mind?” He inquired, turning towards her with a deep, resonant voice.

Maggie snapped out of her reverie, flashing a mischievous grin. “What else could occupy my thoughts but admiring your stunning features?”

Nathael chuckled, extending his hand to draw her from the sofa to the carpet, enveloping her in his embrace.

From behind, he wrapped his arms around her, planting a tender kiss on her earlobe before murmuring in a low tone, “Do you want to do it?”

A blush crept across Maggie’s cheeks as she turned her head to the side, her snow–white neck grazing against his lips.

“No, I’m just a little girl.”

“Really?” Nathael beamed, lifting her gently and leading her towards the bedroom in his arms.

Gently laying Maggie on the bed, Nathael closed the door behind him. As he did, she reached to switch off the bedroom light, a twinge of fear gripping her at the thought of him seeing her bruised arms.

Today, Nathael displayed unusual tenderness, his fingertips trailing lightly over her skin, sending tingles of electricity through her.

His soft and moist lips evoked involuntary tremors in Maggie wherever they grazed.

Amidst the joy, a pang of pain lingered, torn between surrendering entirely to happiness and the relentless echoes of Iris‘ words in her mind.

On this particular day, it felt as though both love and life were hurtling towards an inevitable conclusion.

Despite Timmothy’s playful banter and her own boldness in confronting him, Maggie couldn’t afford to underestimate the weight of their agreement.

“Ehm…”

bruptly lowering himself, Nathael elicited an involuntary moan from Maggie, who instinctively tightened her embrace..

“You seem distracted.” Nathael’s voice was hushed as he peered down at the woman beneath him, resembling both a radiant lily and an enigmatic blossom in a mountain stream.
