Nathael slipped up behind her, enveloping her in an embrace, and murmured, “Let me handle that, so you can catch up with Leo.”

Maggie swiftly denied, “How could you say that? I’m not that kind of person!”

Nathael didn’t say anything, only recalled Leo’s remarks before lowering his gaze and whispered, “You are very close to him.”

Maggie paused, momentarily at a loss for words.

After some consideration, she leaned in and delicately kissed his icy and determined cheek. “He’s not usually like this; he’s simply trying to provoke you. Maybe he is worried I will meet another Joseph.”

At the mention of Joseph, Nathael’s narrow eyes became gloomier,
