Chapter 203 The Depths of My Affection.

Sensing things were getting awkward, Maggie nervously laughed and corrected herself, “Um… I mean, it’s not like I’m super into it or anything.”

“Oh yeah? So, how not into it, are you?” Nathael advanced step by step while Maggie slowly retreated.

Ugh, I feel like crying.

Am 1, like, setting myself up for trouble?

I could pick any piece of music, but I had to go with ‘First Love

With no way out, Maggie had no choice but to stop and hug him around the waist, trying to please him. “You know you’re my absolute favourite, right? I like you more than anyone else.”

Nathael chuckled softly, gazed at her, and asked, “How much do you adore me?”

Maggie closed her eyes, pondering for a moment.

“I adore you a lot, like, really, really adore you. I’m totally into you.”

Nathael gazed at her intensely, his narrow eyes as dark as ink, like a deep, mysterious ocean, captivating anyone who looked into them.

“Is that it?” His voice was low, sensual, and tempting.

Maggie swallowed nervously, her head starting to ache, trying hard to think of how to turn the situation. around.

Looking up at him with sincerity in her eyes, she said softly, “I love your eyes, your nose, your mouth. It’s like I love everything about you.”

This time, Maggie spoke slowly, her eyes moving from his eyebrows downward, growing more serious with each word. Her cheeks flushed involuntarily.

Her throat tightened as she continued to hold his gaze, saying, “I also love the way you look at me, how your eyes reflect me, and how patiently you listen to me…

Maggie hesitated, took a deep breath, paused again, and then added, “I also love how you hold me.”

As she spoke, Nathael leaned in and gently pressed his lips against hers.

His slender, captivating eyes glistened with depth, like a deep sea, overflowing with restrained emotions, surging like waves.

“Do you realize that some words, once spoken, can’t be taken back?” He murmured softly, visibly touched.

A heart that had once felt like it was buried beneath icy depths now basks in the warmth of the sun, receiving both sunshine and rain, offering both grace and hopeful longing.

Maggie didn’t pull away, closing her eyes as she reciprocated his passionate kiss, her cheeks still flushed with warmth..

golden hues on the peach–coloured wooden floor, adding to the room’s allure.

“My legs… feel weak

After who knows how long. Maggie had to try to push him away.

Feeling ke if this continued, she might suffocate from lack of oxygen and collapse.

Nathael chuckled lightly, whispering. “Want me to hold you?

Maggie’s ears instantly flushed with crimson again. Without looking back, she hurriedly ran to the sofa in the living room, leaving behind only one sentence. “No need! Hurry up and get the camera. The sun is about to set!”

They hadn’t gotten much done, but most of the time had already passed.

And now, they still weren’t sure how the video recording had turned out.

This guy is really distracting!

Nathael watched her retreating figure with a hint of amusement in his eyes, grabbed the camera, and followed after her.

Maggie lounged on the couch with Nathael, watching a video together. The footage was stunningly captured, better than any she had attempted to record herself before.

Maggie became fully engrossed, completely captivated by what she was watching.

On the screen, outside the wide floor–to–ceiling windows, there were lush green trees, with distant mountain peaks visible and the occasional trickle of a small stream.

The breeze gently rustled the white curtains, while warm sunlight bathed the room in its glow.

As if a frozen layer had shattered, emotions rushed forth uncontrollably.

“When did you start having feelings for me?” Maggie squinted, assessing the man in front of her.

In truth, she had wanted to ask this question for a while.

Nathael raised an eyebrow, his gaze deep. “Curious?”

“Call me honey.”

Nathael’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly as he slowly spoke.

Maggie opened her mouth, but as the words hovered on her lips, she felt an unexpected blush creeping up her cheeks.

Calling him by that endearing name shouldn’t have been a big deal. She’d heard Beth call it before.

Yet, at that moment, she found herself strangely unable to say

it

“Forget it,” Maggie said, shifting her gaze away with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

Nathael didn’t push it, but it was clear he had no plans to share anything with her.

Maggie was annoyed to the point of gritting her teeth, yet she felt powerless.

She couldn’t exactly hold a knife to his throat and force him to speak, after all.

“If you won’t spill, I’ll just assume you were smitten with me from the start. Oh, perhaps someone had a secret crush on me way back,” Maggie spoke with a touch of irritation.

Nathael held her close, planting a gentle kiss on her hair, lost in reminiscence.

He murmured. Indeed, I have been secretly crushing on you since a long time ago.”
