Maggie paused, her words measured and deliberate. “I simply wasn’t ready, and I never anticipated it happening this soon.”

She fixed her gaze on Nathael, her confidence faltering as she worried about his reaction, unsure if he would be pleased.

“It’s merely a meeting. There’s no need to feel burdened,” Nathael reassured gently.

Upon hearing his words, Maggie cast her gaze downward, her silence enveloping the room.

She understood that her response appeared excessively emotional. If she persisted in refusing, it could trigger his suspicions.

Oh, such a dilemma.

What course of action should I take?

I hate the Camerons! How come they are still alive!

They will like you,” Nathael spoke in a deep voice, his gaze unwavering and confident.

Lost in contemplation, Maggie scarcely heeded his words.

Noticing her distraction, Nathael rose from his seat and approached her, his voice low as he inquired, “What’s occupying your thoughts?”

Nathael affectionately reached out and pinched her cheek, teasingly murmuring, “If you genuinely don’t wish to attend, I’ll refuse on your behalf.”

Remembering the look on Clara’s face during their earlier conversation, Maggie sighed softly. She shook her head and declared, “Let’s proceed with the meeting. However, if I falter, you must come to my aid.”

Upon hearing this, Nathael offered a faint smile and replied, “Certainly.”
