Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 387

Chapter 387 Why Were You Kind to Me?

Maggie telt elated that her efforts yielded results; Little Mute’s willingness to protect her meant she’d encounter fewer bullies in the future, especially given his apparent toughness

Yet in the orphanage, it was impossible to escape bullying, it was merely a matter of degree.

Maggie never imagined Nathael was the boy from the orphanage all those years ago.

Maybe it was because his long hair always hid his face and that he always stayed in the shadows, making it hard for her to recall his appearance despite their close relationship.

She only recalled the boy’s exquisite looks, like a light in her dark life.

Lost in reminiscence. Maggie drifted off to sleep, leaning on Nathael unknowingly.

In her dreams, she revisited her childhood at the orphanage.

Nathael’s arrival seemed to infuse her life there with hope, despite his few words. She always felt compelled to share everything with him.

Unfortunately, after he arrived, she only stayed less than a year before being adopted by the Camerons.

Maggie slept soundly, and Nathael gently laid her on the bed.

Perhaps he didn’t comprehend what ‘having feelings‘ meant then.

But every day, he eagerly anticipated her arrival and refused to relocate when the director suggested it, because she always made time to hang out with him.

He found a way to stay there: it felt like their own little world.

Throughout the night, Maggie’s dreams were jumbled and chaotic.

Sometimes they involved her orphanage days, sometimes her past five, and sometimes her experiences. It was a mess of emotions–happy, sad, and painful.

The next morning, Maggie woke up unusually early.

She couldn’t shake off her thoughts and found herself unable to fall back asleep.

present

Glancing at the sunlight outside, then at Nathael’s face, she couldn’t help but feel lost in thought.

It’s our last day. It finally arrived

How bothersome and unpleasant.

But what reason should I give for breaking up with him? Will he agree

Maggie had pondered for a long time but couldn’t find a suitable reason. She always tried to express her love subtly, avoiding being too passionate.

Perhaps there was an underlying rebellion, or perhaps her overwhelming love was hard to control. She felt an uncontrollable urge to repeatedly tell him she loved him.

After staring at him for a while, Maggie quietly got up to prepare breakfast.

With her limited culinary skills, she made two sandwiches and brewed two cups of coffee.

The living room’s record player played soft classical music. After finishing her tasks, Maggie showered and emerged. As she headed to the bedroom to check on Nathael, she accidentally bumped into him at the door.

Clearly, he had just finished showering, with a faint, refreshing scent lingering on him.

Nathael pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead. “You’re up early today.”

Maggie didn’t reply but held his hand. “I made sandwiches.”
