Chapter 127 Are You Happy Now? Going around the hotel block took about thirty minutes as they took the small road.
When Nathael's car cback, she was nowhere to be seen under the streetlights. Nathael felt a twinge of disappointment but consoled himself with the thought that Joseph hadn't kept her waiting too long.
Maggie's eyes were clear as she gazed directly at him and spoke softly, “That night, the rain was heavy, and you entered my world along with the storm, like a ray of light piercing through darkness. Since then, my world has been brighter." Maggie's tone was gentle; she was trying to lift his spirits, but her words carried sincerity.

Nathael chuckled softly. Reclining against the backrest with the cigarette between his lips, he said quietly, "Go on." Maggle was speechless.

1/4 Chapter 127 Are 100 Nathael couldn't help but smirk, his gaze shifting to Maggie's face.
Perhaps due to the alcohol or the warmth in the room, her face was slightly flushed.
At this moment, she blinked her clear, moist eyes, her expression serious. She seemed sincere, as if she would immediately confront anyone who disagreed.
Nathael gulped, but he remained silent.
He had never seen this side of Maggie before, or at least not in a while.
Once, all he had wanted was her happiness. As long as she and Joseph were happy together, that was all that mattered.
But she kept provoking him.
Even so, she was always distant and insincere. It was as if she was wearing a mask of deceit, but she was unable to hide the underlying rejection and disdain in her eyes.

Nevertheless, Maggie reassured herself that perhaps Nathael would fall for it.

Listening to her, Nathael thought for a moment, his initial coldness replaced by a hint of playfulness. “Have you thought about becoming a nun?" Maggie chuckled angrily. If she didn't need to please him, she might have slammed the table and thrown a glass of wine in his face.
She felt a pain in her stomach as she held back her urge.
"Wouldn't you feel that it's a shame, Mr. Harris?" Maggie challenged, her eyes slightly red with anger.
Nathael sneered, "Why would I? Even if you beca nun, you'll surely be a pretty one." What the heck?! Maggie seethed with anger. Fine. I'll remember this. Nathael, either you marry someone else in this lifetime, or I'll sign up to beca nun on the day you propose.

He's just bullyingnow! Maggie had caught on. Whether Nathael thwarted her plans was one thing, but he was definitely messing with her.
"You're not happy? What should I do, then? My biggest hope in life is for you to be safe and happy, and for your wishes to ctrue..." Maggie lowered her head, pretending to wipe away imaginary tears, striving to seem even more genuine.

He's the worst!.
I don't understand. Should I treat him harshly, like I had in my past life? Is this guy into masochism? +

I promise, from now on, I'll do whatever you say, and I won't interfere with your decisions. What do you say?" Nathael's heart fluttered slightly, almost unable to resist her.

Nathael was about to respond when his phone suddenly rang. Glancing at the number, he walked to the floor-to- ceiling window to answer it.
"Hey, Mom." Maggie sighed in relief, slumping onto the sofa, her eyelids heavy.
She had a packed schedule for her exchange program, and she had a lot of design drafts to work on. She was extremely busy.
Today, she had to summon up the energy to deal with Shawn, and after drinking quite a bit, she now felt extremely tired.
Nathael's voice sounded like a lullaby. Even though he spoke very few words, Maggie soon drifted into a deep sleep.
