Chapter 330 You Are the Only One & the Exception

“Making a call?” Nathael walked in just as Maggie was hanging up the phone.

“Yeah, it was Leo. I asked if he knew about Sebastian’s return,” Maggie said with a blink, her voice gentle.

Nathael pulled her into his embrace, inhaling the scent of her hair, and said in a deep voice, “Do you care a lot

He had thought about meeting her sooner, but with the burdens of the Harrises and the expectations of Master Harris on his shoulders, he wasn’t that free.

He knew well that only with greater power in his hands could he have more freedom, as his voice would carry more weight.

Moreover, back then, Master Harris wouldn’t have allowed him to be distracted by a girl, nor could he let his own desires disrupt the rare peace she had.

Nathael wrapped his arms around her waist, lowered his gaze, and rested his chin on her shoulder, lost in

his memories.

Indeed, he had thoughts like Sebastian’s–wishing he could have met her sooner, before she met Joseph.

But he knew it wasn’t possible, She had been adopted by the Camerons early on. In this respect, neither he nor Sebastian would ever have the advantage over Joseph.

During those years, Master Harris had sent him into the military, and his daily schedule was packed. He would only allow himself a moment of indulgence, sneaking off to see her, after each success.

He couldn’t tolerate putting her in danger because of his own incompetence, nor could he accept that his so–called affection might fail to protect her peace.

Those days, filled with tears and blood, seemed like she was the only reason he kept going. He knew more than anyone that only by holding power tightly in his hands would he have the chance to choose.

Maggie chuckled softly and said warmly, “Why appear so early? If you had shown up that soon, where would I have found the mind to study?”
