Chapter 390 How Long Have You Been Planning

Maggie tried to speak, but words failed her for a moment.

The room felt like it was stuck in a standstill, the air heavy making it hard to catch a breath. Even though Nathael held her tightly, there was no hint of joy in the moment.

After a long silence, Maggie spoke softly, “Maybe we should take a break for a while. I need some time to think things through.”

Nathacl scoffed, his gaze piercing. “So you can go find that person you supposedly fell for later?”

Maggie’s heart sank as she tried to push him away. “Yes, it was just a dream, but even if it was.”

Maggie’s words were cut short by Nathael’s cold interruption, his voice laced with hostility, “Did Timmothy pressure you? Or did Grandpa say something to you?”

Maggie was taken aback, meeting his reddened eyes, and then said softly, “Timmothy did approach me, but I won’t break up with you just because of him.”

“So, then why?” Nathael’s grip on her wrist tightened, his jawline becoming tense, and his whole. demeanour became intimidating, far from the gentle and calmness he had before.

Maggie lowered her gaze, her voice gentle. “Nathael, I do love you. Anyone would love a man like you.”

A few seconds passed before she looked up at him with a wry smile. “But your affection, your love, it’s just too heavy for me to handle.

Nathael’s expression grew even more unpleasant, his pale pink lips pressed tightly together as he stared at her coldly, as if she were a stranger.

Maggie Adam’s eyes filled with tears, a hint of sadness in her clear eyes as she forced a smile and said, “Funny how things work out, isn’t it? You value me so highly, but I can’t handle it.

“For me, you can calmly break your fingers without flinching. Do you know that since that day, I’ve been haunted by nightmares? You make me feel like I’ve been a burden to you, like I’ve caused you harm. The weight of what you’ve given me is just too heavy, too deep

Her voice faltered halfway through, and Maggie looked at him with a pained smile, whispering, “And I can’t handle it.”

She didn’t want to admit that being with him was just a scheme, nor did she want to deny that the happiness they shared was all fake.

She didn’t even believe it herself, so how could she expect Nathael to believe it?

So she tried to come up with some seemingly reasonable excuses, some past events that had made her uneasy and doubtful.
