Maggie’s face flushed red, and the steamy air misted her eyes, making them look wet and blurry.

“Let go of me first, and you can leave! Maggie forced herself to stay calm, getting crazier by the moment.

but this man wa

She slightly turned away to avoid his gaze, her heartbeat à mess.

Nathael’s dark eyes fixed on her, his thin lips parting slightly as he said coldly, “Nana, my patience is limited,”

Maggie’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and her throat tightened, leaving her unable to speak for a long

moment.

She knew Nathael was warning her.

He wasn’t known for his patience, and although he had backed down repeatedly, a man of his status, accustomed to adulation, wouldn’t likely tolerate her cold demeanour for long.

Maggie lowered her eyes, her voice cold, “I understand. You go first.”

Nathael stared at her for a few seconds, then slowly let go and turned to leave the bathroom, changing into a different set of clothes.

As soon as he left, Maggie felt as if all her strength had drained away, leaning against the cold wall and gasping for air.

She didn’t know how things with Nathael had gotten to this point, but she was aware of her own inability to be harsh, the less harsh she could be, the more likely she was to compromise. She couldn’t bear to see him disappointed or hurt, so much so that she dared not look at him.

Nathael was sitting on the couch in the bedroom, his hair half–dry, his handsome face less gentle than before and more intensely stern, making the entire room feel tense and somber.

Maggie, drying her hair, averted her gaze, planning to spend some time in the living room.

But in the next instant, his deep, appealing voice came from behind her, “Come here,”

Maggie paused in her hair–drying, remembering his madness and ruthlessness from the night before, her heart trembling along with her uneven breath.

She stood still, not daring to immediately walk out of the bedroom.

Perhaps tired of waiting, or simply in a bad mood, Nathael looked up, his gaze falling on her silhouette, his voice ice–cold, “I don’t want to say it a second time.”

Maggie’s heart thudded heavily, as if a drum had been slammed down hard.

her every wish.

And all this was because she had pushed him away.

Maggie lowered her eyes to calm herself for a moment, then slowly turned around and walked towards the man sitting on the couch, steadying herself beside him.

“Is there something you need?”

She couldn’t bear to be at odds with him any longer, but it seemed like after suggesting they break up, didn’t know how to interact with him anymore.

Nathael let out a self–deprecating laugh, his beautiful phoenix eyes tinged red at the corners, his clear eyes filled with faint bloodshot lines.

Since when had they needed a reason just to talk?

“Ms. Adam, you being so distant really breaks my heart, Nathael spoke sombrely, his gaze shadowy, his expression unmasked in its chill and mockery.

Maggie felt a sourness in her chest, but faced with his mockery, she remained silent.

Nathael pulled her onto the couch and flipped her underneath him, his voice hoarse, “Is breaking up really necessary?”

Maggie’s eyelashes trembled as she looked up at the handsome face so close to hers, and slowly said, “Yes.”
