Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Bad Temper During Pregnancy

Maggie’s remark instantly cast a strange silence over the dining table.

Fortunately, within just a few seconds, Nathael regained his composure, his expression returning to

normal.

However, Beth was not as composed. The muscles on her face visibly tensed, and her gaze shifted back and forth between Maggie’s face and her abdomen as she struggled to maintain her composure. “What…. do you mean by that?”

Maggie’s expression remained gentle, with a hint of surprise in her tone. “Don’t you know? During pregnancy, one should avoid consuming anything containing alcohol, and it seems that even salmon, which is raw and cold, is also not suitable.”

With a halfway pause, Maggie suddenly seemed to realise something, adopting a look of enlightenment. “Right, you don’t even have a boyfriend, so how could you understand these things? My apologies for my oversight.

At that moment, Beth’s mind went blank, filled only with the two words “pregnant” spoken by Maggie.

Is… is she pregnant?

It’s Nathael’s child!

This is impossible! It’s absurd!

Beth’s eyes welled up with tears. She instinctively asked, “Whose child is it?”

Maggie found her question somewhat absurd, but she could also understand Beth’s desire to delude herself.

Without waiting for her to speak, Nathael’s voice was already deep as he said, “Mine.”

Upon hearing this, Maggie’s eyes curled into a smile filled with indescribable sweetness and happiness.

She looked at Beth with sincere eyes. “I know you’re Nathael’s good friend. Won’t you wish us well?”

As the saying goes, fight fire with fire!

Looking at Beth’s face, uglier than when she was crying, Maggie knew she had won.

“When did this happen?” Beth’s voice was also hoarse. She was unable to restrain herself from placing her hands under the dining table, as they had been trembling incessantly.

How can she be pregnant with his child?

How can he allow such a thing to happen?

Did she threaten him with the child? Or did she use some other means?

I liked him for so long, and he has never been this good to me. But why Maggie?

Just thinking about these things made Beth feel insane, filled with rage and frustration, overwhelmed by

Faced with her predatory gaze, Maggie lightly touched her stomach and sighed. “I don’t know when it happened, either.”

“Perhaps it was on his couch last time? Or maybe in the study… Hmm, or at my apartment, it could have been that time in the bathroom too. It’s hard to say for sure about these things.

Maggie seemed determined to push her arrogance and spitefulness to the limit, making Beth furious.

If Beth wasn’t happy, then she would be happy!

Upon hearing this, Nathael couldn’t help but raise his eyes to look at her. His narrow eyes were deep and mysterious, carrying some obscure and unclear meaning, like a deep sea.

Maggie felt that the gaze was inexplicably intriguing, subconsciously avoiding his eyes, and couldn’t help but rub her nose tip, feeling inexplicably guilty.

What’s wrong?

Why was he staring at me like this?

He looked as if he could devour me.

Beth didn’t notice the ambiguous atmosphere between them. Her mind was filled with what Maggie had just said.

They, they…

Nathael glanced at her and said in a deep voice, “During pregnancy, temperaments can be irritable. Please forgive her, Ms. Bray,”

Maggie was stunned.

Is he still pretending?

Alright, I’m quite addicted to it too!

Beth was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. She grabbed her things and turned to run away.

With the annoying third wheel gone, Maggie looked at Nathael and said sarcastically, “Mr. Harris, aren’t you going to chase after her? To comfort her?”

Nathael remained languid and said calmly. “I’m still waiting to be with you on the couch, in the study, and in the bathroom.”

Maggie couldn’t help but stamp her foot. Her eyes widened slightly, inexplicably cute.

“Nathael, are you even human? I’m a pregnant woman, and you’re behaving like a beast!”

Maggie always felt his eyes were deep and dark, as if they contained boundless desire. In the darkness of the night, it seemed like a surging sea of desires, burning and oppressive.

She had the instinct to run, so she/immediately got up and said, “I’m not hungry anymore. I’m going to the bathroom.”

Nathael didn’t rush to chase after her. It wasn’t until Maggie came out of the bathroom that she was caught off guard by him.

In the dimly lit corridor, Nathael grabbed her wrist, pressing her against the wall, leaning in close. He lowered his head and gently kissed her earlobe, a sensation of warmth and moisture spreading.

He murmured in her ear in a low, husky voice, “When do you plan to give me a child, huh?”

Listening to his words, Maggie felt her head buzzing and her eyes filled with astonishment.

In the cramped space, the air was warm and the posture was ambiguous.

Maggie felt like she had just gotten into big trouble!
