Chapter 44 Maggie Receives A Gift Today
“No, we don’t use it for… Maggie blushed intensely and couldn’t help but try to explain.
This old man lacks respect for the elderly. What kind of inappropriate thoughts are running through his mind?
Maggie felt both embarrassed and annoyed. It wasn’t her fault for reacting slowly. It was simply because she lacked experience and had never considered that possibility.
To her surprise, the old man didn’t wait for her to finish and interrupted with a laugh, “Is he not performing well? It’s okay. We still have some miraculous tonics to nourish the kidneys! Guaranteed to make him vigorous and full of vitality!”
Nathael was stunned.
“No need.” Nathael said with a stern face and an icy expression.
Perhaps the intimidating aura emanating from him was cold and deep, radiating an aura that warned strangers to keep their distance. The old man, who had initially intended to enthusiastically promote the products, shook his head and sighed.
However, Maggie felt a bit tempted. She tugged at Nathael’s sleeve and whispered, “Don’t be too shy to see a doctor.
“Say that again,” Nathael said calmly, almost suspecting that there was a problem with his ears.
Thinking of the rumors about Nathael’s performance, Maggie put on a serious face and earnestly suggested, “Uh… Mr. Harris, do you want to give it a try?”
“Try what?” Nathael narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous glint filled them, chilling and intimidating.
Maggie instinctively craned her neck, nervously laughing. “Uhm… that…?”
Maggie didn’t finish her sentence.
Because in the next moment, Nathael pinched her chin, his gaze dark and unclear. “Ms. Adam, do you want to give it a try? Huh?”
Maggie was stunned for a few seconds. “Try… try what?”
Those were things meant for men. How could she try them?
Wait a minute, what was he talking about?
The next moment, Maggie reacted, pursed her red lips, and couldn’t help but think: You can’t even do it, so what’s there to try?
Indeed, he was avoiding seeking medical help!
Maggie thought that if there was a chance, she must persuade him to go to the hospital for a proper check- up. With early treatment, there could be a chance for improvement.

Maggie smiled gently, looking understanding. “Don’t be sad. I understand everything.”
Feeling willing but powerless is truly the most disheartening thing.
Nathael chuckled, and the pressure in his hand increased slightly. He said coldly, “Maggie, do you know what you’re saying?”
“Uhm. Mr. Harris, I forgot to tell you something.”
Maggie decided to drop the matter and didn’t plan to continue with this topic.
“Tell me,” Nathael said slowly, wondering what was going on in her mind.
Maggie blinked her clear eyes and said seriously, “Actually, I have two personalities. The one just now…
wasn’t me.
Nathael was dumbfounded.
Do I look easily fooled?
After returning home, Maggie finally enjoyed the hand–brewed coffee Nathael made. It had a rich and mellow flavor, preserving the original aroma of the coffee beans.
After Nathael tidied up, he turned to see the woman on the sofa, sitting with her knees bent, holding a mug in her hands. She was squinting her eyes, savoring the coffee. Her relaxed and contented appearance resembled that of a proud and timid cat, retracting its claws, obedient yet carefree.
“Tilt your head.”
He found the medicine kit and applied some ointment on the bruise on her neck.
After a few minutes, the bruised area was treated, and Nathael’s movements slowed. Hie her as he asked again, “Are you sure you don’t want to say who did it?”
dark eyes stared at
Knowing that he was inquiring about the bruises on her neck, Maggie glanced at him and softly asked, “If I disclose it, Mr. Harris, will you assist me in seeking justice?”
Nathael’s pupils deepened, and his clear eyes gained a hint of shadow and determination.
The old vinyl records in the room played enchanting music, filling the air with a rich aroma of coffee, accompanied by the man’s low, mellow voice.
“I will.”
His
response was resolute, carrying a bold yet cautious affection.
It appeared that he was always reluctant to let her down as long as it was something she requested, whether it was intentional scheming or unintentional cultivation.

Maggie held the mug, smiled gently, and warmly said, “But, Mr. Harris, sometimes when a person desires something, they must pay a price.”

about to condense into water.
The woman’s beautiful figure was reflected in his dark pupils, indicating an almost uncontrollable desire.
So, what is the price to obtain you?
When Maggie escorted him downstairs, she felt a twinge of reluctance.
She knew she didn’t need to accompany him, but he had come all the way for her. She didn’t want him to leave alone.
She turned back and went upstairs only when the beautiful illusion vanished into the night..
In the bedroom, Maggie caught sight of a delicate gift box on the bedside table. She paused for a few seconds and carefully opened it.
Inside was a delicate black velvet box.
Upon opening the box, she discovered a vintage Baroque–style hairpin.
Large blocks of turquoise, pearls, and intricate, luxurious diamonds were stacked together and embedded in white jade. The combination of transparent simplicity and extravagant brilliance was captivatingly beautiful.
Maggie could surmise that the gift was from Nathael, but she still sent him a message: ‘Mr. Harris, you left something behind.”
Shortly after, Nathael called, his voice low. “It’s a gift for you.”
Maggie lay on the bed, rolling the hairpin in her hand, her lips curving upward. “It’s so beautiful.”
“I’m glad you like it.” Nathael’s gaze softened a bit. He didn’t mention that acquiring this hairpin had required considerable effort and had to be purchased from another customer after some twists and turns.
When he saw it, he felt it would suit her perfectly.
It was bold and dazzling, yet also lively and clear.
“Did you forget your watch again?” Maggie asked, lying on the bed, playing with the hairpin, feeling a subtle sweetness in her heart.
Nathael didn’t seem surprised and replied in a gentle tone, “I’ll bring it next time.”
Maggie simply smiled and couldn’t help but think that maybe he would forget again next time, allowing them to continue meeting each other.
After ending the call, Maggie logged into her second Instagram account and couldn’t resist posting a photo with the caption: ‘Maggie received a gift today!”
The accompanying picture was a profile shot of herself wearing the hairpin. Due to the lighting, her face was partially obscured in shadow, revealing only her dark hair, a clear view of her ear, and a glimpse of the
