Chapter 156 You Remind Me Of A Friend
“I, I… Who said I’d give birth to a child for you? 1 was just joking!”
Maggie stuttered, feeling like she had gone too far this time.
She tried to annoy Beth, but why did Nathael take it seriously?
Nathael lowered his gaze to sweep over her delicate, fair face. She tilted her head slightly, her long eyelashes gently drooping and her soft lips pursed slightly, with a hint of tension and uncase, like a rosebud waiting to bloom.
“But I took it seriously. Nathael’s voice was hoarse, insisting that Maggie explain.
Nathael felt like something had been unleashed when this thought crossed his mind.
“But… but I’m still just a child!” Maggie blinked her eyes, looking bewildered and innocent.
Maggie felt that she could overcome any obstacle as long as she was shameless enough.
So, it must be that she wasn’t shameless enough yet.
Yes, she would continue to work on it.
Nathael was dumbfounded.

Maggie looked at him sincerely, her eyes moist and earnest, as word came from the depths of her heart. “Mr. Harris, I advise you to be kind…This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
But before she could finish her sentence, Nathael lowered his head and kissed her cherry lips.
His lips were slightly cool yet soft, carrying a dominance and forcefulness that was impossible to resist.
Maggie was enveloped in his familiar yet unfamiliar scent, gradually feeling her legs weaken and her mind.

blank amidst the faint smell of cedar.
“Ugh, it hurts…” Maggie’s breath became erratic, and her voice involuntarily choked with emotion.
Her eyes were tinged with a thin layer of mist, with a hint of annoyance. “It hurts… It hasn’t even healed from yesterday…”
Beth had already left, but she suddenly realised something was wrong halfway there and immediately turned back.
She had travelled thousands of miles on a flight to come here, and she wouldn’t be dismissed with just a few words from Maggie.
She didn’t come here to witness Maggie and Nathael together, and now, she felt like a defeated rooster, having been tossed around only to slink away in defeat.
Beth tried hard to convince herself not to care about Maggie. Still, as she walked down the corridor, she saw Nathael pressing Maggie against the dimly lit area, kissing her.
Beth stood still, her eyes filled with bitterness, and her heart felt as if it were tightly gripped and twisted

The kiss she never dared to hope for was easily given to that greedy woman.
In an instant, she suddenly lost the courage to approach and once again left in a daze.
It was unclear how long it had passed, but Maggie felt weak from the kiss..
She swallowed hard, her breath unsteady, and whispered, “Mr. Harris, if you keep this up, others might think we can’t afford a room.”
At this moment, a hint of warmth appeared on Nathael’s stern face. His piercing eyes were dark and filled with a surging desire.
His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly as his gaze landed on her glossy lips, inviting, “Shall we?”
Maggie pushed him away slightly, refusing decisively, “No.”
Why should I go?
He said he would take me out to dinner. I can’t let myself be devoured before we even cat, can I?
Besides, we ordered a table full of dishes, and I haven’t touched them yet.
Tm going to the restroom.” Maggie pushed him away, intending to tidy up her clothes and lipstick.
As she walked, she couldn’t help but reach out and lean against the wall, feeling her legs growing weak.
Nathael remained still, his gaze lowered as he forced himself to calm down momentarily. When he opened his eyes again, they were a little less desireful, replaced by clarity, yet they still appeared restrained and patient.
Maggie touched up her makeup in the restroom, forcing herself to calm down momentarily.
There were quite a few wrinkles pressing into her clothes that she couldn’t get rid of. Maggie sighed and gave up trying to fix them. Looking at her flushed face in the mirror, she couldn’t help but feel like she was on the verge of losing it if things continued like this.
A few minutes later, Maggie sighed and left the restroom, intending to return and have dinner.
As she took a few steps, she bumped into someone head–on.
The
person seemed to be holding a toy robot. As they collided, the robot fell to the ground, scattering everywhere.
Maggie was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly crouched to help pick up the pieces. “I’m sorry.”
The person was a slender young man, currently bowing his head so his face wasn’t visible. However, Maggie could see his hands, long and fair, with a hint of slender delicacy.
The man picked up the toy pieces and then looked at Maggie to thank her. “Thank you.”
Meeting his gaze, Maggie could see his delicate and pale face, quite beautiful but with a hint of illness, making him appear frail and thin. However, he had a pair of beautiful eyes, clear and innocent, like a student who had just graduated, exuding a unique vouthful charm.

“Can this be put back together? Do you need me to compensate?” Maggie apologised, realising she had bumped into him in haste earlier.
“It’s possible, but it’ll take some time, the man replied gently.
Maggie breathed a sigh of relief. Although she wasn’t very familiar with this type of toy, she knew it must be cherished by the person who liked it.
In addition, there were also many limited–edition collectibles, such as women’s handbags and jewellery, that were difficult to buy.
I’m really sorry, Maggie apologised again.
“It’s okay.” The man smiled at her, his expression tinged with a hint of shyness.
Maggie felt a bit embarrassed. She thought it might not be appropriate to just leave like that, so she suggested, “How about we exchange contact information? If any parts are broken, you can contact me.”
The man thought for a moment and nodded. “Sure.”
The two immediately exchanged phone numbers. The man spoke gently, “My name is Timmothy Yonathan.
After exchanging contacts, Maggie didn’t linger any longer and intended to leave. However, after taking a few steps. Timmothy called her again, “Ms. Adam, have we met before?”
Maggie was stunned for a few seconds, carefully trying to recall if she had ever met the person in front of her, but she couldn’t remember him at all.
It seemed that they hadn’t met before. With his unique temperament and outstanding appearance, Maggie felt she would have remembered him if they had met previously.
“You look like a friend of mine, but she’s not as beautiful as you. Timmothy smiled gently, leaving no room for aversion.
Maggie nodded and responded with a couple of words, “That’s quite a coincidence.”
Timmothy sighed softly. “But she can’t see, and someone ruined her appearance.
Upon hearing this, Maggie was stunned for a few seconds, her throat tightening, and she couldn’t quite express the feeling that arose within her. Blindness and disfigurement?
“Is she… has she had vision problems since birth?” Maggie couldn’t help but ask.
Timmothy shook his head. After silence, he spoke slowly, “She offended enemies and had her eyes gouged out by someone.”
With her fingers curled at her side, Maggie looked at Timmothy with a probing gaze, feeling a strange and indescribable sense of unease.
How could this…
Timmothy suppressed the negative emotions and smiled at her, apologising, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have compared you to her. It wasn’t my intention to offend you. It’s just that she really looks a lot like you.”
