Chapter 401 Should We Stop Them?
Nathael looked at her with a cold expression and asked in a deep voice. “You don’t want to pretend anymore?”
Maggie shifted awkwardly, avoiding his gaze, and responded in a low murmur, “I wasn’t faking sleep, you
woke me.”
Nathael gave her a piercing look before reclining on the pillow, his hands folded under his head.
“Let me have some of the blanket,” he murmured.
Reluctantly, Maggie shifted the blanket covering her towards him and then lay at the edge of the bed.
As Nathael wrapped himself in the blanket, the room fell silent.
Feeling restless and uncomfortable, Maggie slowly relaxed as the man behind her remained motionless.
Her awareness began to fade as she drifted towards sleep.
Turning. Nathael moved closer to her from behind and gently encircled her with his arms.
Feeling his warmth, Maggie tensed up involuntarily, her sleepiness fading.
Nathael looked down, hiding the self–mockery in his eyes.
Did her cautiousness still linger, even at this close distance?
Slowly opening her eyes, Maggie remained motionless. She could feel the warmth of his chest through the
thin fabric.
“Do you hate me that much?” Nathael asked softly.
After a pause, Maggie relaxed and whispered, “Mr. Harris, do you really not know?”
Nathael let out a soft chuckle at her reproachful tone, whispering, “Sleep now, I won’t disturb you tonight.”
Reassured by his word
Maggie released her tension and fell asleep.
Despite her steady breathing next to him, Nathael stayed awake, holding her closer.
Mia had been punctual for several days in a row.
However, Nathael had been absent each time, except for one day when he was present.
Today, at ten in the morning, Maggie realised Nathael was not around.
She quickly tidied up and then sat in the living room, deep in thought.
She planned to leave when Mia arrived, unsure if she would ever come back.
Maggie meticulously noted every detail of the room, trying to memorise it.

After she had organised her belongings and changed the bedding, Mia arrived just before lunch.
Observing the maid serving food, Mia whispered, “Everything is set. Leo has positioned the personnel outside; half are getting their meals from the downstairs kitchen, and the other half from an external
restaurant.”
She continued, “Leo is managing the medications outside, and I’ve discreetly added some to the soup downstairs. They’ll be asleep within half an hour after eating”
Maggie nodded, confirming. “I’ve packed my things.”
The upstairs servants would join the others for the meal, but Nolan’s presence made Maggie cautious.
“Maggie, are you okay?” Mia asked, noticing her distraction.
