They strolled back leisurely, and Maggie found herself pleasantly satiated after the meal.

Her gaze wandered on the two of them a couple of times. After noticing nothing unusual in their expressions, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Post–dinner, Maggie tidied up the dishes, intending to wash them later..

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

Leaning back into his embrace, Maggie couldn’t resist asking, “What did you and Leo talk about? Did you two fight?”

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.

Leo was someone she could always count on and trust indefinitely.

Maggie was momentarily taken aback, not expecting him to admit it.

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.”
