Chapter 128 One Last Chance

In a sleepy daze, Maggie pondered that if Nathacl still said he was not happy, she would resort to kissing him until he changed his mind.

When Nathael ended the call and turned around, he found Maggie curled up and embracing a pillow, her head tilted in slumber.

Her breaths were shallow and steady, possibly due to alcohol, and her fair complexion was slightly red and

warm.

Strands of her hair, which was initially pinned up, had fallen loosely, framing her ears. The sight of her was alluring.

Nathael observed her for a moment as he stood beside her. Seeing a faint sheen of sweat on her nose, he adjusted the air conditioner and gently covered her with a thin blanket.

“You jerk.”

As if sensing something, Maggie suddenly stirred and struggled to open her eyelids. In her dazed state, she caught sight of a familiar figure. Uttering a soft murmur, she closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep.

Nathael chuckled softly. He had to acknowledge her skill in persuading people.

Sweet words flowed effortlessly from her lips, delivered with earnestness, as if each syllable originated from her heart.

Nathael felt strangely calm after his initial rage.

He knew he shouldn’t be moved; he should be angry instead.

Yet, with her, his emotions always seemed to transcend boundaries.

After some time, Nathael couldn’t resist reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind her car as he whispered softly, “Let’s just be an unbeatable team from now on.”

“Mm… Maggie softly murmured with a frown, seemingly in agreement.

Nathael’s gaze softened, and he chuckled lightly.

Later, in the suite’s study, Nathael had shed his coat and stood by the French windows, awaiting Alex.

A few minutes later, Alex entered quietly and murmured, “I’ve discovered that Ms. Adam finalized a significant order for gemstones and jewelry with Shawn on behalf of the Camerons.”

Nathael remained silent, gazing out at the European–style buildings. Eventually, he spoke in a deep tone, “Tell Jimmy to reach out to Joseph and make a substantial jewelry order for the company next quarter.”

Alex paused, contemplating Nathael’s intentions.
