Let’s start all over again,shall we?

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.

Maggie turned her face towards him, rubbing her cheek gently against his, and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?" "I was just thinking how nice it would be if I could have appeared in your life earlier, Nathael responded, his voice low.

She was always surrounded by boys, but while others were with her, he had to work desperately hard just to earn a chance.

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?" Maggie's words were true, Nathael was too captivating. His deep, intense presence silently consumed your heart.

Maggie dared not think about what it would have been like if he had entered her life when she was younger- whether she would ever have been able to settle down...

Nathael chuckled lightly, "I didn't realise you thought so highly of me. You're pretty tough-hearted." 1/4 Chapter 330 You Are the Only One & the Exception Maggie was annoyed, knowing he was telling the truth, but she couldn't help feeling angry and embarassed. She turned around, pushed him down onto the bed, and straddled him, threatening him discontentedly, "That's not true! I'm always soft-hearted when it comes to you!" Her thighs, separated by only a thin layer of fabric, could distinctly feel his strong muscles, a sense of inexplicable strength and warmth that suddenly made Maggie realise what she was doing.

The next instant, just as Maggie was about to get off him, Nathael flipped her under him, his voice husky, "Is that so? How soft-hearted?" His elbow was propped beside her ear as he looked down at her intently, his handsface just an inch away, his warm breath tickling her.

Maggie's cheeks reddened and felt inexplicably hot. She tried to change the subject, "You're on my hair... him a straight Her voice was timid, sweet and tempting, her eyes moist and clearly not planning to give answer.

Nathael, however, wasn't ready to let go. He gently kissed her earlobe and murmured, “How are you soft-hearted? Is it different withthan with Sebastian?" Maggie paused for a few seconds, unsure why he was so concerned about Sebastian.

As a tingling sensation spread, Maggie couldn't help but shrink her neck and whispered softly, "Why do you always compare yourself to him?" Nathael was silent for a long while, then muttered, "Today, when you were talking to him, you didn't look atfor five minutes and thirty-six seconds." Maggie was a bit stunned, "Um... what?" Such a thing mattered? But... was five minutes and thirty-sir seconds a lot? Maggie tried to explain, but facing his dark, brooding eyes, she found herself speechless. Her throat tightened under his intense gaze, her whole body heated up, and even her breathing becerratic, Nathael seemed determined to get an answer. Maggie, yielding, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him softly on the lips.

In a soft voice, she said, "To me, you are the only one, the exception, different from everyone else." Only you are in my heart.

The hatred that had once been misguided seemed to transform day by day, year by year, into the most tumultuous love, deep and ingrained.

Satisfied with her answer, Nathael was content and leaned down to capture her lips, their mouths intertwining in the night.

The temperature in the room rose, and their mingled breaths grew heavier.

2/4 12:36 Wed, 5 Jun ti Chapter 330 You Are the Only One & the Exception His kisses delicately traced every inch of her skin, and Maggie melted into him, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

She lowered her eyes, trying to memorize the warmth of his lips.

If she weren't afraid that all those sweet nothings would eventually turn into piercing arrows, she would. have Whispered the most beautiful love words to him. "Mmm....

After a thorough buildup, Maggie moaned softly, her breathing completely erratic.

In the dim light, she could see the fine beads of sweat on his forehead. His usually stern and cold face seemed to glow with a vivid warmth, and his narrow pupils reflected her image, filled with madness. Maggie lowered her eyes, her fingers wrapping around his back, tightening involuntarily.

She loved seeing him go wild for her.

The next day, around noon, Maggie woke up feeling completely disoriented, like a rag doll that had been thoroughly roughed up.

Her legs were so sore it felt like she was walking on cotton.

Slowly, she got up and walked into the bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but gasp in shock.

She knew her indulgence was because she sensed her days were numbered, but Nathael didn't know that! So young, and she really had to be careful not to overindulge! After taking a shower and standing under the spray, Maggie couldn't help but recall his loss of control the night before.

It had started off fine, but towards the end, no matter how much she pleaded with him, he wouldn't stop. driving her to the point of crying and fainting.

Thinking about it made Maggie's teeth itch in frustration.

Indeed, men who have been abstinent for too long can be frightening!

After leaving the bathroom, she saw Nathael just coming in from outside. He had a few meetings in the morning and, worried she might be bored alone at home, he hurried back. Seeing him looking so fresh and vibrant made Maggie feel somewhat resentful. They had done the sthing, so why did he look so energetic? X "I need to practice the piano this afternoon, and I plan to head back to the Cameron residence tonight," Maggie slowly said.

The final round of the university's Piano Competition was imminent, and she still had to prepare a big surprise for Sierra.
