Nathael was taken aback by her swift agreement, a surreal feeling washing over him as he gazed into her. beaming eyes.
Maggie tilted her head, her lips curving into a smile, and gently inquired, “Happy?”
Nathael’s throat shifted slightly, and a faint grin spread across his handsome features as he murmured, “Yes, I am.”
Maggie’s eyes twinkled with excitement, her brows reflecting it as she clasped his hand to continue. strolling around.
She was happy too.
The night had deepened, and the streets were quieter now, with fewer shops open than earlier.
Maggie took Nathael’s hand, still exploring with great interest.
Yatria boasted numerous unique specialty shops, showcasing an array of handcrafted wares, including leather goods, fabrics, and paintings.
Despite their small size, these shops were brimming with treasures, which were frequently attended to by the owners or talented artisans.
The ambience was not overtly commercial; instead, it exuded a distinctive charm and allure.
Maggie and Nathael meandered through the streets, eventually spotting two jade hairpins that caught their interest.
Despite their modest price, Maggie was fascinated with their design and texture.
Slipping the hairpins into her hair, Maggie turned to Nathael with a grin, asking. “Do they look pretty?” Nathael admired the sky– blue jade hairpin nestled amidst Maggie’s locks, its pearl accompaniment lending an eye–catching yet modest charm, infusing a hint of sweetness and clarity.
“Wow, that’s gorgeous,” Nathael murmured, his attention then drawn to the counter, where he spotted a topaz hairpin, shaped like a miniature cat, a departure from the previous style, boasting a subdued hue yet radiating a distinctive allure owing to the gem’s natural sheen.
Turning to the mirror, Maggie found the cat–shaped pin endearingly cute.

Chapter 147 A Date in Yatria
Her previous relationship with Joseph had been more about his needs than hers. Despite his occasional indulgence in gifts, Joseph would never be as serious as Nathael.
She couldn’t quite articulate what’s the difference, but Nathael gave her a feeling of being cherished.
Being with Nathael felt surreal to Maggie, yet comforting in its own way.
However, sometimes spontaneity outweighs careful consideration.
Maggie shifted her gaze, offering a light smile before turning her attention to a couple’s bracelet.
Half of the bracelet boasted delicate rose gold, while the other was woven with fine red nylon rope, featuring a diamond at their intersection.
Maggie’s keen eye discerned the diamond’s approximate size, around fifty carats, with excellent clarity. The rose gold border muted the diamond’s brilliance, lending the bracelet a subtle and refined aesthetic.
After removing both bracelets, Maggie placed them side by side on her wrist, evaluating their appearance.
The red and rose gold hues complemented her fair skin tone, and the diamond size was just right, creating a delicate and understated elegance.
Taking both bracelets in hand, Maggie made her way to the checkout.
Nathael approached from behind, handed the basket to the shopkeeper, and murmured, “Together.”
Maggie cast a glance at Nathael’s basket, noting the assortment of trinkets within.
Pendants and dolls are among the most popular girls‘ hair clips. The pendants, crafted from inexpensive crystals and gemstones, boasted charming irregular designs.
The dolls, whether plush or knitted, were small and exquisite. Compared with some domestic styles, the biggest difference is probably the handmade gems and crystals on them.
“I’ll pay for these, Maggie declared, selecting the pair of bracelets.
As they exited the shop together, Maggie handed him the bracelet in the box, stating, “This is for you.”
Maggie’s ears felt strangely warm, possibly because she had never given him anything before.
Nathael paused, clearly taken aback by the unexpected gift.
Maggie patiently awaited his acceptance.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Nathael had committed suicide in her previous life while wearing the tie she had given him, a horrible memory that tormented Maggie.
She had never given him a gift; the tie was chosen for Joseph after she was disfigured and blind.
However, as Mary lost her usefulness and attractiveness, Joseph lost his patience with her.
Heartbroken and disappointed, she resolved to no longer disrupt his life in gratitude to the Camerons who fostered her, so she quietly handed Nathael the tie.
She never thought that he would cherish it so much.

Nathael’s throat bobbed as he slowly accepted the bracelet, admiring its simplicity and elegance.
“Would you mind helping me put it on?” he requested, his voice resonant.
After momentarily being stunned, Maggie smiled and agreed, “Of course.”
He always wore a watch on his left hand. Maggie hesitated for a moment and tied the bracelet to his left
wrist.
After adjusting the length, the bracelet was stacked side by side with the watch. The red and rose gold accents blended seamlessly with his fair wrist, exuding a stylish charm that captured attention with every Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
movement.
Maggie nodded with satisfaction and refrained from revealing her bracelet. However, Nathael prompted, “Isn’t there another one?”
“You know?” Maggie was astonished, and her cheek flushed once more.
Nathael smirked, saying, “Give it to me. I’ll help you in donning it.”
Amidst the quiet night, illuminated by the glow of streetlights and occasional passersby, the two hid their thoughts as though there was no one around.
Maggie’s cheeks flushed even more as she insisted, “That one is for a friend, not for me.”
Nathael chuckled, drawing nearer, and asked in a deep voice, “Which friend?”
Maggie hesitated, meeting his gaze with nervousness. “W–why?”
Nathael’s eyes darkened as he uttered softly, “Toss it to the fish in the sea.”
