Chapter 20 Taking Care Of Yourself

Joseph was taken aback for a moment. He hadn’t expected such a bold statement from Maggie, who had. always been accommodating.

“What did you say?”

The man who had always pretended to be gentle and polite suddenly revealed his true nature, angrily grabbing her wrist.

“Mr. Cameron, even though I am the adopted daughter of the Camerons, it seems you have no right to criticize me.” Maggie smiled faintly. Her cold eyes carried a hint of mischievous intrigue, appearing both distant and affectionate.

Unable to break free, she allowed him to hold her and said nonchalantly, “Since you’re neither my boyfriend nor my fiancé, it seems irrelevant to you who I associate with, or even if I choose to degrade myself.

Joseph breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that.

So, she was just throwing a tantrum.

“Maggic. I’ve told you that once your ties to the Camerons are severed, I will make our relationship public. But it’s not the right time yet.” Joseph softened his tone, unusually patient in his explanation.

But strangely, even though the woman in front of him was the same as always, he felt that something had changed.

“Mr. Cameron seems to be mistaken. We have nothing to make public.” Maggie laughed carelessly. Her face was radiant and captivating.

That’s right. She and Joseph had been ambiguously involved for years. Still, he had never expressed his feelings for her, let alone publicly acknowledged their relationship.

She was naive, assuming that childhood sweethearts didn’t need to verbalize certain things.

But genuine respect didn’t work that way.

Maggie couldn’t help but wonder if Joseph had ever truly loved her in her previous life.

Perhaps he did?

But she thought that what he enjoyed more was the pleasure of being adored by her. What he needed. more was a docile and obedient tool.
