Nathael glanced at the time and said, “It’s getting late, so I’ll head back first.”
Maggie quietly watched him leave, not saying a word to stop him.
He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the rain outside. After a moment of silence, he said, “It’s hailing.”
Maggie was speechless.
She couldn’t believe it. She jumped off the sofa without putting on her shoes, stood next to him, and pulled the curtains open more, wanting to get a good look at the large hailstones.
“Mr. Harris, do you know it’s easy for thunder to strike on a rainy day? People who talk nonsense with their eyes open will get struck by lightning!”
Nathael kept silent momentarily.
He remained composed, gesturing with his hand, and said, “Look over there. Maggie followed his direction. He continued, “There are large whirlpools in the puddles on the ground, and there are white clumps in the rain curtain, so it is indeed a hailstorm.”
Maggic just wanted to laugh. She thought to herself. You big liar!
“I’ll make a call to Alex.” Nathael remained composed, his clean white shirt washed and dried, giving off a refreshing scent. The simple style looked perfect on him.
Maggie pursed her
nd couldn’t help but glance at him.
This man didn’t want to leave!
He was so serious about talking nonsense. Indeed, a man’s mouth is a deceitful ghost!
She wanted to see how he would talk to Alex on the phone.
At that moment, Alex was listening to music with his eyes closed. Soon, he saw Nathael’s call coming in. “Yes, Mr. Harris.”
It’s hailing. Can you come over?” Nathael’s deep voice sounded through the phone.
Alex was confused.
Where is he going if he’s waiting here?
And what about the hail? Has it started hailing?
“I can. I’m in Ms. Adam’s house neighborhood.” Alex, half asleep, was momentarily confused.

Nathael stood close to Maggie, so his voice was clear in her ears.
Maggie didn’t look at Nathael, but stood by his side, gazing out at the night sky. She smiled with a hint of

After a few seconds. Nathael said in a low voice, “The rain is too heavy. You won’t make it.
Alex, finally realized the situation and quickly said, “Oh, yes! The hail just smashed my car. I need to go fix it first. The roads will be jammed because of the rain. Why don’t you ask Ms. Adam if she can
accommodate you for the night?”
Maggie struggled to contain her laughter at the exaggerated performance.
But Nathael remained serious and responded calmly. “Okay, I understood.”
After hanging up. Maggie pretended not to know, wrapping a shawl around herself and turning to him, asking. What did he say
“He asked if you could accommodate me for the night. His eyes, dark and deep like a hidden galaxy, were surprisingly sincere.
Despite their cold appearance, his eyes had made Maggie feel a deep affection when he looked at her seriously.
Maggie looked at him with a smile and asked gently. “And what if I refuse, Mr. Harris?”
Nathael stared at her for a while. He sighed and resisted the urge to embrace her, whispering, “I want to
stay.
Maggie couldn’t help but smile.

couch.” Maggie turned and walked into the living room. Her back faced him with a
knowing look, a hint of mischief after teasing him.
Late at night, the rain was pouring, and the wind was howling.
That night, Maggie slept deeply but not peacefully.
She dreamed on more, reminiscing about her past life. She would often have intermittent dreams of her past life. Those heartbreaking pains secined to be engraved in her bones.
This time, she dreamt of the day she was kidnapped.
Joseph had strapped explosives to her, using her as bait to lure Nathael.
Joseph, have you lost your mind? Nathael despises me so much. He won’t come!” She was blindfolded, and her hands were tied, unable to escape in a strange environment.
“Maggie, you are truly foolish! Nathael is now all–powerful and influential. Do you think he married you for some kind of revenge? Haha! Ridiculous, truly ridiculous!” Joseph laughed, finding the situation amusing.
They were cornered by Nathael, with nothing left, yet he still spared their lives and the empty shell of a

Because she didn’t need him to say it, she already knew everything.
But she deceived herself, unwilling to admit it.
Because once she admitted it, it seemed to mean denying her existence for the past twenty years. It meant her life was ju
a joke from beginning to end, and she was an unreachable fool!
She had always been strong–willed and naturally did not want to believe all this.
Besides, she didn’t want Nathael to come.
But in the end, he still came.
Joseph felt like he had his life in his hands, laughing out loudly, “I never thought the ruthless Mr. Harris was actually a romantic person. It’s ridiculous!”
“Mr. Harris, I just want to ask. How does it feel to be with this ugly monster? Can you bear to look at this face and still speak?”
Joseph carried an indescribable jealousy and hatred because the former Maggie never wanted him to
touch her.
“Let her go and take me instead.” With a cold and fierce gaze, Nathael stared at Joseph with a chilling look.
Maggie said coldly with her red eyes, “Get lost! I don’t want you to pretend to be a good person here. Get out of here!”
Nathael’s throat tightened. When his gaze fell on the woman thrown in the corner, his sharp eyes softened.

But soon, he fore
“I promised to release her. Of course, you can take her away. But whether you can defuse the bomb on her depends on your ability, Mr. Harris,” Joseph said.
After receiving the transfer contract signed by Nathael, Joseph laughed and quickly left the abandoned factory.
Nathael ignored him and quickly stepped forward to help Maggie up. He untied the ropes and looked at the bomb on her body. He frowned.
“Just leave me alone! I don’t need your pity. Get out of here!” As soon as Maggie gained her freedom, she. tried to push him away.
She had caused him too much harm. She couldn’t burden him anymore.
“Don’t be silly, be good.” He comforted her softly, focusing on the bomb on her body.
Only about fifty seconds left on the timer, but Nathael showed no intention of leaving.
Tears uncontrollably rolled down Maggie’s face as she grabbed his hand haphazardly, choking out, “Nathael, can you please leave? I’m begging you, please leave me!”
