Chapter 281 Is It Tough on You?

Upon reflection, Maggie considered that the situation might not be entirely negative.

The Adams had a commendable reputation. If her brother turned out so well, perhaps she wouldn’t fare too badly either.

Yet Maggie couldn’t shake the feeling that she should be feeling more at ease and content.

As she contemplated this, thoughts of the years Nathael had silently loved her flooded her mind. Had those times been difficult for him, too?

A moment later, Maggie snapped out of her reverie. She turned to Nathael and asked softly, “Do you like It?

“Do you enjoy listening to me play the piano?”

“Yes, I do,” Nathael replied with a firm voice, their fingers interlocked.

Maggie smiled gently and said, “I’ll play for you when we get home tonight.”

A mischievous glint flashed in Nathael’s eyes as he probed, “At my place?”

Maggie glared at him and playfully chided, “Can’t you think of something else?”

Why has this man acted so desperately to share the bed with her? They wouldn’t sleep together anyway.

Nathael chuckled and asked, “What are you thinking?”

Maggie ignored him. She continued to watch the next performer play his piece. When the lights dimmed again, Nathael spoke in a husky voice, “I just enjoy being with you.”

It was a simple statement, as if it were meant for her, or perhaps he just muttered to himself.

Tears started to well up in her eyes for no reason.
