Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Knowing How To Repay Kindness

Nathael fell into deep thought, remaining silent. Maggie avoided eye contact and hurriedly left, as if fleeing in panic.

How embarrassing!

As she stepped out of the door, she noticed Marcello squatting on the front steps with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with mischievous charm. Upon hearing the noise, he turned his head and glanced at her. Realizing it was Maggie, Marcello raised an eyebrow and smirked.

“Wow, that was quick. My little uncle really can’t handle it.”

Maggie’s face flushed crimson, wishing she could run away. How humiliating! Marcello chuckled, extinguishing the cigarette. He turned and entered the room only when she had disappeared entirely from sight. “I wondered why you were acting so strangely while digging your own grave.

It turns out it’s all for a woman,” Marcello teased, not mincing his words. Nathael remained expressionless, calmly replying, “Just shut your mouth.” Marcello raised an eyebrow, casually asking, “What’s your plan for the project in Chronopolis? Those elders nearly lost their minds when they heard you switched partners from the Adams to the Camerons. Yet none of them dared to ask you directly, so they sent me to find out.”

After hearing Marcello talk about the business, Nathael wondered momentarily. The words Maggie didn’t hold back resurfaced in his mind. A few seconds later, he lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, “No change.” Hearing this, Marcello laughed and said, “Okay. You’ve said it. Now, everyone can rest easy. But, Uncle, you’ve had your way with the girl, and now you’re turning your back on her. That’s not very gentlemanly.”

Nathael picked up an apple from the coffee table and threw it at him, saying, “Shut up.”

Marcello wasn’t angry. He caught the apple and said, “Take it easy. The adopted daughter of the Camerons is pretty, but I’m afraid she’s not good enough to be my sister-in-law.”

“Get out!”

Marcello glanced at him with a smirk on his lips. He tossed the apple and left. It wasn’t his fault for overthinking. Although Nathael was his uncle in name, they were only a few years apart. Over the years, whenever something involved Maggie, Nathael would act out of character. As for how Nathael was out of character? Marcello didn’t know how to describe it, but it was probably like a genius suddenly turning into a fool.

After Maggie arrived home, she glanced at the numerous missed calls from Joseph and ignored them. After showering and tidying up, she finally opened her laptop and carefully read through the information she had copied from Nathael’s computer. Then, she began editing the content. She remembered that in her previous life, the land in the Crestview District was bought by the Taylors. They invested in a shopping mall, but they lost everything due to a change in the subway route.

Well, I’ll do a good deed and give it to the Camerons. Maggie edited the bidding content for the land in the Crestview District and added it to Nathael’s target projects. Hmm, the resort on Halms Island. It ended up in the hands of the Baileys in its previous life. Halms Island was home to a large number of egrets every year, so the resort project was highly anticipated from the start. Unfortunately, just as the Baileys were full of ambition and ready to start the business, the water on Halms Island became contaminated. Hundreds of egrets died on Halms Island, causing an uproar, and the resort project on Halms Island was abandoned.
