Chapter 273 Have You Decided?
“Enough! Do you honestly believe Nathael would spare you a second glance with such foolish behaviour? How can you volunteer yourself as a mere plaything? How could I have a daughter as shameless as you?” Ronald scolded angrily.
Sierra’s eyes filled with tears. “You’re being unjust! Since Maggie is so compassionate, why isn’t she your own daughter? I pity you!”
Ronald was so furious that he raised his hand to slap her, but Olivia quickly intervened.
“That’s enough. Considering all that Sierra has been through today, it’s reasonable to assume that her thoughts may not be clear. If we fail to empathise with her, we risk pushing her to her limits,” Olivia said.
Olivia’s words helped to partially calm Ronald down. He did not want to push her to her breaking point despite his anger.
Ronald departed feeling disappointed, unable to mask his sense of disillusionment.
Olivia then dedicated a significant amount of time conversing with Sierra, delving into their family’s circumstances and carefully considering the advantages and disadvantages. Despite Sierra’s silence, she absorbed much of the information shared.
Maggie was nearly ready when she decided to check Twitter.
Suddenly, a message from Nathael popped up on her phone.
“Where are you? I’ll go to you.”
Surprised, Maggie read the message, but before she could respond, Nathael called.
Stepping out of the dressing room, she found a quiet corner to answer the phone. “Hello?” she greeted softly.
Nathael did not inquire about her lack of response; instead, he asked, “Where are you?”
“In the backstage dressing room, with others nearby, Maggie replied softly. It had been a while since she heard his voice and it sounded unfamiliar to her.
Yet, she sensed a newfound peace within herself.
After enduring over ten days of despair, the turmoil in her heart had finally subsided, leaving behind a sense of tranquility. Maggie realised that she could now calmly accept the reality of her impending death.
There was a brief silence on Nathael’s end before he provided an address. “I’ll be waiting for you here,” he said, opening a nearby door.
Glancing at the time, Maggie replied softly, “I’ll be there in half an hour, at the most.
Okay
After his response, Maggie released a soft sigh, ended the call, and proceeded towards the room he had

Several minutes later, she found herself standing in front of a door. With caution, she pushed it slightly, revealing the pitch–black room, seemingly devoid of occupants.
Hesitating for a moment, she leaned forward, only to be abruptly yanked inside by her wrist.
Startled. Maggie jumped, nearly letting out a scream.
open
Nathael grasped her wrist, shutting the door behind them, and gently pushed her against it, leaning in for a kiss.
Maggie’s racing heart gradually eased as she eagerly reciprocated, wrapping her arms around his neck.
The kiss was fervent and unbridled, akin to a long–awaited storm finally breaking loose.
Their lips and teeth intertwined with passion, leaving an indelible yearning etched into their very beings.
Nathael’s strong hand firmly held her slender waist as if seeking to fuse her into his own body, releasing their pent–up desire with abandon.

In no time, his fingers ascended, gently tugging down the zipper on the back of her dress a bit.
The coarse texture of his fingertips grazed against her delicate, smooth skin, causing Maggie to shiver uncontrollably, a faint mist forming on her eyelashes.
Thankfully he not proceed further.
His passionate kisses rained down on her lips, neck, and collarbone, trailing downward as if he intended to imprint every inch of her skin.
Maggie’s thoughts dissolved into nothingness, a tingling sensation rippling from her lips, rendering it challenging to draw a breath, her body weakening.
“Um…
After what seemed like forever, Maggie found herself struggling to push him away, her face flushed, leaning against the door as if all her strength had drained away.
Eventually, Nathael released her slowly, his gaze lingering on her radiant face.
Maggie’s breath was unsteady, and she whispered softly, “You rejected me when I offered myself to you, so what is this now?”
Unable to resist, Nathael played with her fingers and said hoarsely, “Have you been upset about that this

Maggie pursed her red lips, choosing to remain silent.
She was not entirely upset, but there was a hint of it. She craved some peace amidst the chaos and was too embarrassed by her previous rejection.
However, she would never admit it.
If I hadn’t come today, when were you planning to talk to me?” Nathael’s gaze bore into her, his words. carrying an unusual mix of humility and intimidation. His demeanour was imposing, stern, and cold ad

Maggie could not muster the courage to hold his gaze and avoided meeting his eyes.
She had not considered it, but she intended to reach out to him before his birthday,
His birthday was three days after the end of the competition, and she always visited him on that day.
However, perhaps subconsciously, he knew she would seek him out.
“Go on.” Nathael’s tone was weighty, clearly indicating his displeasure.
Maggie glanced up at him, observing his serious expression, tight jawline, dark pupils, and sharp, enigmatic gaze.
If it were not for the flush on his lips, one would not have guessed what they had just done.
Clearly, he was displeased.
Maggie’s eyes swept over his face, searching. “Are you upset?”

Nathael chuckled bitterly. “Shouldn’t I be? My girlfriend visits other men clandestinely, remains guarded around me, and flirts with others.”
Maggie countered, “I didn’t flirt with anyone! When did that happen?”
Nathael sneered, “Am I spoiling you too much, Maggie? How dare you hang up on me at will and ignore my messages.”
Maggie looked down, fingers fiddling with a button on his shirt. She muttered softly, “I didn’t ask you to spoil me
Nathael’s temple throbbed, eyes ablaze. “Say that again!” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Maggie decided to yield. She then stood on her tiptoes and gently circled his neck with her arms, whispering in his ear, “I miss you.”
Nathael felt as if he had hit a soft pillow, his anger dissolving with her words, evaporating into thin air.
“Are you still mad at me?” Maggie’s inquiry came with a hint of vulnerability, her moist eyes challenging
his resolve.
Nathael remained stoic, lips pressed together tightly, his gaze icy and unyielding.
Pouting her crimson lips, Maggie expressed her slight dissatisfaction, “Why did you only come to see me now? I thought you might have come earlier.
Nathael hesitated for a moment before responding slowly, “I was dealing with some issues, and I also thought perhaps you didn’t want to see me.”
If in the past Nathael had yearned for what he could not have, now he grappled with uncertainty.
He feared intruding on her space yet dreaded the prospect of her breaking things off.
However, each day without her felt like an eternity.

murmured, “Don’t be angry. I was mortified after you rejected me. Can’t I sulk for a while?”
Nathael cupped her chin, his gaze was intense and restrained, concealing a profound longing that tempted one to surrender.
His lips parted slightly as he spoke softly, “Have you decided?”
