Chapter 41 I Have A Secret

Maggie’s face brightened with a radiant smile. “Mr. Harris?”

“Get in the car,” Nathael said in a deep voice.

Maggie nodded and glanced across the street at Joseph, who anxiously waited for the traffic to clear so he could cross. Without hesitation, she entered Nathael’s car.

Why did he return?

In her previous life, she had also encountered Nathael, but during that time, he had come back to the country early to attend a banquet hosted by Sierra.

But today..

“When did you come back, sir? Weren’t you supposed to be overseas?” Maggie tilted her head, looking at him with confusion.

Nathael’s gaze swept over the woman in front of him. Her hair was loosely tied up, with a few strands. falling due to her hurried run, giving her a relaxed and casual appearance. Her cheeks were flushed, probably from drinking too much, making her look slightly foolish.

As she tilted her head to look at him, her eyes sparkled like precious gemstones.

The car’s dim lighting couldn’t conceal the radiant skin under the strapless dress. The thin fabric made Nathael involuntarily frown.

Maggie patiently awaited an answer, her eyelids growing heavy.

Nathael didn’t respond. Instead, he observed her slightly unfocused eyes and said slowly, “You’ve been drinking

Maggie was slow to react, but she obediently nodded.

I did…”

Before Nathael could react, Maggie suddenly leaned forward and threw herself into his arms, clinging to him like an octopus. She grabbed his collar and whispered, “Nathael, did you miss me?”

Nathael instinctively held her slender waist to prevent her from slipping.

He stared at the smiling, radiant girl before him, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly, but he remained

silent.

Maggie squinted her eyes, straddled his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and nestled her face in hist neck, whispering, “I missed you too.”

Nathael’s elegant fingers paused, and his whole body stiffened slightly.

Maggie felt her mind in chaos, It seemed that the moment she saw him, all her defenses dropped, and she was no longer afraid of anything.

Maggie singles further into his arms, feeling the familiar warmth and strength.

Nathael remained stiff for a long time, his large hand gradually tightening around her.

He looked down at the woman in his arms. Her long eyelashes, her cheek pressed against his shoulder, and her squished face resembled a harmless little animal, making him reluctant to let go.

Maggie grew drowsy, the warmth in the car and Nathael’s body temperature almost making it impossible for her to keep her eyes open.

Nathael” she murmured his name softly.

“Mm.” he responded softly, restraining the intense desire growing in his heart.

Maggie remained silent for a long time, as if she had fallen asleep. When Nathael thought she wouldn’t speak again. Maggie suddenly opened her misty eyes and whispered mysteriously into his car. “I have a secret to tell you.

Nathael turned to look at her, waiting for what she would say next.

Maggie shyly smiled at him, then whispered, “Actually, I

At this moment, Nathael’s heart raced, and he became extremely nervous. It felt as if all the blood in his body was rushing to his heart, which was about to burst from the intense beating

“Actually, I am a flower, Maggie said softly.

Nathael was speechless.

Looking into her serious and clear eyes, Nathael fell silent.
