Let’s start all over again,shall we?

Chapter 137 Gift Joseph's face twitched when struck with the truth.

Maggie snickered softly. "Does it matter if it happened once or a few times? Either way, it won't be you." Joseph's expression flickered weirdly. Maggie didn't bother with more talk, just strutted away without a second glance, her heels clicking.

Joseph stood there, getting more and more worked up.

Ever since the day the Camerons tried to please Nathael by using her, he knew this was coming. But weirdly, when he first found out, he just felt a bit off. He figured sacrificing her for the family's sake wasn't a big deal. But as tpassed, that feeling grew stronger, like a lump in his throat, and he couldn't help but feel pissed. After Maggie left, Vanessa caught sight of her leaving too.

"Maggie!" Vanessa's face turned pale, clearly shaken by Joseph's words just now.

Maggie smiled, looking at her with a mix of pity and sarcasm. “Heard it all, huh? He said he loves me, not You mean nothing to him." you.

Vanessa felt the gaze was particularly piercing, making her uncomfortably speechless.

I'm not with him for money. I genuinely want to be with him.” Upon hearing this, Maggie couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She believed Vanessa might as well confess she was in it for the money, showing such naivery and foolishness! "Before you utter those words, you might want to remove the necklace around your neck. It could perhaps lend more credibility to your argument." Maggie's gaze was understated as it swept over Vanessa's body, adorned with elegant jewellery. Though not exceedingly extravagant or rare, they were surely out of Vanessa's financial league. Why play both sides? As Maggie left, it was already six in the evening.

She skipped Joseph's ride and hailed a taxi straight to the hotel booked by Nathael.

The journey, which usually took a little over an hour, suddenly felt endless. Despite the city being bathed in the glow of the setting sun, Maggie couldn't shake off her nervousness.

A few minutes later, unable to resist, she pulled out her phone to check.

1/4 Chapter 137 Gift Is he so convinced I'll show up? Actually, I don't have to go...

No matter what harsh words or threats he spewed, Maggie always had this strange certainty that he wouldn't hurt her.

But who knows what he might do? Maggie couldn't help but sigh, pulling out a mirror to touch up her makeup.

After a couple of casual touches, she felt it was unnecessary. After all, she needed to shower first.

Maggie closed her eyes, inexplicably recalling his kiss.

At that moment, they suddenly becintimate, with no distance between them, free to explore each other's secrets.

His fingers were slightly cool, but his embrace was fiery.

She trembled with nervous resistance, yet she couldn't help but involuntarily sink into a feeling of emptiness.

It wasn't until the car stopped in front of the hotel that Maggie let out a sigh, annoyed with herself for thinking about all sorts of messy things.

Finding her way to the room, Maggie stood in front of the door, nervously taking out her key card.

Is Nathael already here? Is he even here at all? If he is, what is he doing? Maggie nervously pondered, feeling both uneasy about what was about to happen and strangely excited, like a forbidden affair.

She felt like she was going crazy, but she couldn't help but want to continue down this path of madness. Just a little nervous and scared.

The lock emitted a crisp recognition sound, followed by the door opening automatically.

The room was pitch black, and it wasn't until she entered that the lights turned on.

The room was empty, everything neatly arranged, and Maggie couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

After glancing around the room, she headed to the bathroom for a shower.

Maggie took her time, making sure every strand of hair was just right, but when she stepped out, Nathael still hadn't arrived.

She plopped down on the plush bed, muttering to herself, "Not very proactive. Making plans and showing up so late." 11:49 Sat, 18 May DU Chapter 137 Gift After a bit of daydreaming, she got up and decided to watch sTV on the sofa.

As she settled in, her eyes caught sight of the array of fine wines in the nearby liquor cabinet.

Maggie's eyes sparkled with interest, and she wasted no tin selecting a few bottles and pouring herself a taste of each.

After trying a few, she grabbed a bottle she liked and started chugging straight from it.

Better to get a little tipsy and not stay so clear-headed.

Maybe if she closed her eyes and opened them again, it would all be over. Plus, there were rumours about Nathael having sissues, so maybe he'd be happier if she were a bit drunk.

With these thoughts in mind, Maggie took a few more sips.

"Cough, cough Because she drank too quickly, the liquid rushed down her throat, bringing a burning sensation to her stomach- hot and spicy-an indescribable feeling of exhilaration and excitement.

Her fair skin took on a rosy blush in an instant, and her clear eyes gained a hint of mistiness. The light pink silk nightgown draped over her body accentuated her flawless complexion and vibrant beauty.

After drinking more than half the bottle, Maggie began to feel a bit dizzy, but it was just a slight haze, and she still felt relatively clear-headed.

She didn't have any idea of her alcohol tolerance. Tilting her head, she decided to open another bottle.

Just then, the doorbell rang, startling Maggie. She shivered, and the glass and bottle in her hand clinked. Em together, nearly falling to the ground.

"Who? Who ...." Maggie subconsciously straightened up and glanced towards the entrancew Is is he here? Doesn't he have a key card? What's going on? The next moment, the doorbell rang again, and Maggie swallowed nervously, setting down her glass and. slowly walking towards the entranceway.

She listened for a moment to the sounds outside the door th she let out a long sigh of relief.

peeked through the peephole. After that, "May I help you?" Maggie asked as she opened the door, looking at the hotel staff member standing outside.

"Miss, this is the gift you ordered. Everything is brand new and has been cleaned and disinfected as per your request, the staff member said in a warm tone. Maggie was stunned for a few seconds, her gaze falling on the rolling clothes rack the staff member was pushing.

3/4 Chapter 137 Gift

There was probably a row of clothes hanging on the rack, but they were covered with a black dust cover.

making it impossible to see their appearance. "But I didn't order anything. Maggie said.

"Maybe it's a gift ordered by that gentleman for you. Please sign for it," the staff member suggested.

Nathach Thinking about it, it was indeed possible. Maggie didn't hesitate any longer and promptly signed the receipt. I'll help you take it inside," the staff member offered.

Afterwards, the staff member slowly wheeled the clothes rack into the lobby. Once it was placed, they turned to leave.

Maggie stood still, propping up her heavy head, and circled the rolling clothes rack, examining it from top to bottom.

What is it? A gift? For me? A few minutes later, Maggie couldn't contain her curiosity any longer and tore off the large dust cover.

Then, the scene that greeted her nearly made her gasp for air!
