Chapter 247 I Haven’t Done Well Enough
Nathael was the most favoured grandson of Master Harris, so naturally, they had to choose a
choose a suitable marriage wife for him.
However, it was evident that, despite the Camerons‘ status among the wealthy, they were only considered second–tier.
Furthermore, the Camerons‘ financial situation was far from favourable,
To be frank, the daughter of the Cameron family wasn’t deemed suitable to match Nathael, especially considering she was an adopted orphan.
This realisation only added to Clara’s restlessness, particularly when recalling Nathael’s asking her to accompany someone to buy Luster Corporation’s jewellery.
The Camerons were known for their materialism and opportunism. After that incident came to light, they promised to ensure that they’d deliver right on time while simultaneously offering multiple compensations to the big shots whom they couldn’t deliver.
This whole mess had something to do with Maggie.
It seemed like the way the Camerons treated Maggie wasn’t exactly what it seemed. Her situation was tricky and not easy.
Thinking about it, Clara couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for her.
Poor kid has it rough. She could see through some of the Camerons‘ tricks, and it probably wasn’t easy for Maggie growing up there.
“Maggie, don’t you want to marry my cousin?” Demi asked. Her eyes were brimming with curiosity as she looked at Maggie.
It was strange. Throughout the years, there had been plenty of people eager to marry Nathael, yet now she heard the first refusal.
Truth be told, Demi’s question struck a chord with Maggie, leaving her unsure of how to reply.
All she could do was try to maintain her composure, smiling as she responded, “Of course I do. Who wouldn’t want to marry Nathael? It’s just that I feel like we haven’t spent enough time together, and there might still be some things we need to figure out.”
Nathael’s penetrating gaze fixed on her tinge with a hint of scrutiny.
Maggie’s whole body turned cold. She couldn’t help but mutter a curse under her breath.
She had been too naive.
Nathael was sharp–minded, with a piercing gaze. Her usual scheming and cunning were nothing in his
eyes.
Not to mention her desire to happily date him for a few years. Given the current situation, she couldn’t

Chapter 247 I Haven’t Done Well Enough
Clara smiled softly and said, “Your thinking isn’t wrong at all. Many couples appear happy before marriage but turn into resentful partners afterwards. Being cautious is wise, especially considering
Nathael’s temperament isn’t good.”
She understood her son well. When she mentioned his temperament wasn’t good, it wasn’t about explosive outbursts but rather about deep calculation, stubbornness, and an understated manner that concealed his feelings. In simpler terms, he was not easy to deal with.
Maggie felt guilty for turning down Clara’s kindness. Having a decent start with a mother–in–law was rare, but now she found herself in this situation, feeling like she was messing things up for herself.
Ugh, this is so frustrating.
Maggie quietly nudged Nathael under the table, hoping he’d say something to ease the tension.
To her surprise, Nathael simply looked at her and said wistfully, “I haven’t done well enough.”
Maggie felt like crying out. Come on, dude! Don’t be like that! I’m freaking out!
Marcus nodded in agreement. “You should look out for Maggie more. When it comes to wedding plans, you should discuss it together. Maggie, if he ever mistreats you, don’t hesitate to talk to Clara.”
Marcus‘ words meant they were backing Maggie.
It was quite overwhelming for her, considering she hadn’t received this kind of support in her previous life.
How did Marcus treat me in the previous life?
They hardly crossed paths.
As a father–in–law, Marcus naturally didn’t have much to say to his daughter–in–law, who harboured so much resentment, so it was mostly left to Clara,
The only thing Marcus ever said was, “Though your eyes may be disabled, you as a person are not. There are many paths in life, and even if the one nearby is tough, you can always find your way.” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
