Let’s Star All Over Again, Shall We?
Chapter 382 When Did You Start Having Feelings for Me
Maggie was on the verge of tears after hearing a few simple words.
Home…
For two lifetimes, she had considered the Camerons her family and her home, but it turned out to be a deception.
But could she still return now
“Ericko, I need some time before I can decide. Maggie said slowly.
Ericko frowned and asked gently, “Why?”
“I want to wait until the Camerons are completely bankrupt. Otherwise, I’m afraid they might harm my parents because of me.
Maggie offered a somewhat unconvincing excuse.
They’re already planning to harm Mom. Whether you go back to the Adams or not won’t change their minds. But I’m worried about you being alone out there. If something happens, I won’t be able to explain it to Mom and Dad. Ericko’s voice was gentle over the phone, but there was a hint of authority in it.
Everything was in chaos, and the Camerons‘ use of her as a pawn hadn’t been very effective; they had even faced repercussions because of it. Ericko’s biggest fear was Ronald seeking revenge on Maggie.
When people were pushed to their limits, they might resort to desperate measures.
Ill take some time to think about it, but I still want to settle things with the Camerons and talk to Mom and Dad calmly. Maggie expressed her reservations.
Though Ericko didn’t agree, he didn’t push the issue further since she had not severed ties with the Camerons yet.
After hanging up, Maggie felt the pressure in her heart increase. Dealing with both Nathael and Ericko was overwhelming.
In the evening, Nathael finished work early and planned to take Maggie out for a walk.
It wasn’t snowing on Christmas Eve, but the snow from yesterday remained, creating a festive atmosphere.
Nathael walked with Maggie as they strolled around the commercial street. Maggie bought a few clothes and two bags, but she couldn’t muster much enthusiasm.
“Are you feeling low?” Nathael asked, holding her hand.
“Not really, but whenever I think about the Camerons, I feel like human nature is wicked. It’s challenging my understanding and imagination,” Maggie spoke softly.
Nathael didn’t respond, but he held her hand tighter.

Chapter 382 When Did You Start Having Feelings for Me
Maggie hesitated before turning to him. “What do you mean?”
“Like what will happen to the Camerons or us,” Nathael spoke slowly.
Maggie stood still, unable to speak for a moment. The dazzling commercial signs on both sides cast luxurious light and shadows, brightening the entire street.
Standing in the middle of the road. Maggie adjusted her gearf as she felt a lump in her throat.
She could hear the wind and snow, the festive laughter, and the cheerful music.
Yet, at that moment, it felt like there were only the two of them in the world. The world was bustling, yet strangely quiet.
I want to break up with you. The words were on Maggie’s lips, but she couldn’t say them.
Nathael didn’t rush her; he simply lowered his gaze and patiently listened.
After a while, Maggie raised her hand to tuck the wind–blown strands of hair behind her ear and said. softly. “We’ll always be together, always happy, despite the arguments and misunderstandings. We’ll face life together, and even in death, we’ll be buried next to each other.”
As Maggie spoke softly, every day of her past life seemed to flash before her eyes like a revolving lantern.
She knew that being too vague wouldn’t make him believe her.
This was just right.
