Chapter 80 I Want to Stay
Nathael glanced at the time and said, “It’s getting late, so I’ll head back first.”
Maggie quietly watched him leave, not saying a word to stop him.
He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the rain outside. After a moment of silence, he said, “It’s hailing.”
Maggie was speechless.
She couldn’t believe it. She jumped off the sofa without putting on her shoes, stood next to him, and pulled the curtains open more, wanting to get a good look at the large hailstones.

Maggie struggled to contain her laughter at the exaggerated performance.
But Nathael remained serious and responded calmly. “Okay, I understood.”
After hanging up. Maggie pretended not to know, wrapping a shawl around herself and turning to him, asking. What did he say
“He asked if you could accommodate me for the night. His eyes, dark and deep like a hidden galaxy, were surprisingly sincere.
Despite their cold appearance, his eyes had made Maggie feel a deep affection when he looked at her seriously.
Maggie looked at him with a smile and asked gently. “And what if I refuse, Mr. Harris?”
Nathael stared at her for a while. He sighed and resisted the urge to embrace her, whispering, “I want to
