Chapter 146 Congratulations, Mr Harris
No one could understand Nathael’s uneasiness at the moment. If she knew, he might receive bizarre. replies, such as her merciless sarcasm and mocking-
However, despite all that, he just couldn’t resist giving it a shot.
Every time he was around her, he found himself losing control of his feelings.
Maggie was caught off guard for a moment, feeling a little dizzy.
She turned to look at him, trying to make sure of his sincerity.
Under the bright moonlight, the man’s gorgeous face appeared cold and clean, with detached brows that were less vicious and deep. He looked more gentle and focused.
Maggie’s throat tightened as she looked at him and asked, “If I say no, will you still like me?”
“Yes,” Nathael replied slowly, appearing to care but not excessively concerned with her response.
Maggie smirked softly and responded, “That depends on how much you like me.”
In her past life, she poured her heart and soul into everything, only to end up in ruins.
She was severely disfigured, blinded, and haunted by bitterness and darkness, enduring endless pain and feeling utterly helpless.
Even though Maggie never doubted that Nathael was the only one for her, she wasn’t sure if she could open her heart again.
Yet, during those bleak and hopeless years, when her life was devoured by anger and resentment, resulting in a senseless and tragic outcome, every moment reminded her of her previous mistakes and misjudgments.
Even though she knew Nathael wouldn’t let her down, sometimes she found herself unconsciously wanting to hold back… subconsciously cautious, afraid of being too vulnerable once more, secretly afraid of repeating her past mistakes.
But I had changed in this life.
And how about Nathael?
Would he change? Would he love and protect me unconditionally, as he did in my previous life?
Maggie lowered her eyes self–deprecatingly, feeling she was thinking too far.
Nathael went quiet for a moment, whispering, “Even if you want to take advantage of my influence, I still hope you’ll use it for a lifetime.”
Maggie’s throat tightened, tears welling up in her eyes.
A lifetime? That’s a long time…
Her eyes filled with tears as she softly said, “Aren’t you worried that I might have hidden motives? What if

Nathael held her tighter and said in a deep voice, “At least my money is a part of me.”
Maggie chuckled softly, feeling his cheek against her car.
Their skin touched. Amidst the cool night breeze, warmth surrounded Maggie, leaving her a little dizzy. She rarely had such an intimate moment like this with him.
She lowered her gaze gently, not wanting to deny that this feeling made her greedy.
“But I won’t make it easy for you,” Nathael said softly, his voice rough.
Maggie looked up, asking softly, “Why not?”
“Because that way, you’re willing to put more effort into me,” Nathael explained slowly, his Adam’s apple twitching.
Maggie was momentarily taken aback, unable to forget the memories of their first meetings. Every time she approached him, it was never straightforward.
He wouldn’t easily agree to her requests, always saying no but leaving a glimmer of hope.
Unable to resist, she turned to face him.
Under the brilliant lights in a foreign city, she saw the man’s stunning features–sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, with deep phoenix eyes, high nose bridge, and thin lips–as well as the passionate and ferocious look between his brows, which usually gave off an aura of aloofness.
Yet strangely, when their eyes met, it made her feel like she was the centre of the universe.
“So, were you pretending earlier? Maggie squinted, showing a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
Nathael raised an eyebrow, displaying no sign of confession. “Pretending for what?”
“Nathael, have you secretly liked me all this time?” Maggie leaned in closer, her lips just millimetres away from his, but not touching it.
Nathael found himself leaning closer too, but Maggie instinctively pulled back, not wanting to give in to his desire.
His large hands pressed to her waist, and Maggie couldn’t escape it. When she tried to move away, she felt pain in her lower back.
She reached out and lightly pinched his lips, joking, “Don’t. Today my lips are numb.”
As the saying goes, things that were too easily obtained were not always cherished.
“Mr. Harris, is this a confession?” Maggie blinked her almond eyes and spoke slowly.
Nathael looked at her and responded faintly, “Yes.”
Maggie was left speechless this time, possibly because she didn’t expect him to confess easily.
“Do you want to try it?” Nathael asked again.
Marvic stayed quiet for a moment then hugged him gently while resting her cheek against his chest. “Am

you sure you want to take a chance with me? I’m a bad–tempered, materialistic, and cunning woman,” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Nathael smiled faintly in return. “Yes, I do.”
He didn’t refute or explain further, as if to say that despite her imperfections, he would always be by her side.
Tears glistened in Maggie’s eyes as she whispered, “I’m not sure how to like someone or whether I can still love. But Nathael. I’ll try to like you.”
Not out of duty or past grudges, but because she became fond of him.
Nathael put his chin on her head, his eyes warm and affectionate. “Alright.”
The two hugged each other quietly for a long time on the bridge by the river.
Maggie smiled up at him. “If you ever feel tired or bored, please let me know. I will not cling to you; we may part ways amicably.
Her eyes shimmered in the light, and her smile was genuine and charming, as if she were talking about something unrelated to herself.
Nathael felt his heart clench painfully.
He recognised that her calmness derived from her lack of love for him.
But at least she was giving our relationship a shot, right?
“Of course, I might also fall for someone else one day or get tired or bored of you, and I’ll also be honest with you,” Maggie added casually; her eyes sparkled.
She wanted to grow old with him, but in this world, people’s hearts were volatile.
She didn’t want to become enemies with Nathael.
Whether she loved him or not, she would never be able to hate him as others might.
Nathael’s eyes were deep. He didn’t know what she had experienced. He only felt that at this moment, although her smile was bright, it made people feel a sense of inexplicable sadness.
He had so much to say.
He wanted to tell her that such a day would never come.
He wanted to tell her that even if she fell in love with someone else, he would never let her go.
However, after a thousand sentenges, it all came down to a simple “alright.”
Maggic leaned in and delicately kissed his lips, a smile flashing across her eyes. “Congratulations, Mr. Harris. From today onwards, you have a smart, lovely, and beautiful girlfriend.”
