Maggie stood in silence for a few moments, unable to find her words.

But Nathael persisted, waiting patiently for her response.

After a prolonged pause, Maggie met his gaze with innocence and murmured, “Because you’re attractive.”

Nathael nearly choked on his breath, caught off guard by her straightforwardness.

So, I have my looks to thank for this?

Observing his reaction, Maggie softened her tone and added, “Being good–looking is a talent too, and you were so tough and strong back then.”

Maggie wasn’t claiming to be perfect. She confessed that his looks had drawn her to him, leading her to want to spoil him with gifts.

Even though she was broke, that didn’t stop her from sharing what she had.

Besides, as she mentioned, he was tough and strong. Who wouldn’t want a friend who was both strong and good–looking?

“Are you implying that if someone better looking came along, you’d ignore me? Nathael tightened hist grip on her hand, his voice turning chilly.

Clearly, he was struggling to contain his frustration.

Maggie softened her gaze and reassured him, “The point is, no one’s more attractive than you; you’re the most handsome.”

Nathael wasn’t satisfied with her response, his jawline tensing as he fell silent.

Maggie couldn’t deny that he was just so good–looking that he seemed to belong on a pedestal, deserving all the beauty in the world, and she would willingly give him everything.

She couldn’t help but wonder if her attraction to Nathael stemmed from more than just his looks, but also from an inexplicable aura he exuded.

She couldn’t explain it; she just felt drawn to him, wanting to treat him well.

Perhaps she had feelings for him then.

Maggie wasn’t sure. Even if it was love, the love she felt back then was too immature, and it didn’t necessarily mean anything.
