Chapter 323 Can You Stop Pissing Me Off?
Maggie’s heart skipped a heat. A sudden wave of tension washed over her as she glanced at the man standing in front of her.
Clearly, Nathael was testing her,
The flicker of panic in her eyes didn’t go unnoticed. His gaze deepened with probing intensity, and he examined her with suspicion.
Nathael’s hand gripped her chin, and she said in a low, serious voice, “You’re hiding something from me.” The intensity in his eyes was unsettling, making her heart clench.
Maggie couldn’t hold his gaze long for fear of revealing her repressed feelings and secrets.
She was also afraid that the rare moments of warmth and sweetness between them could end in a fight.
Maggie deliberately put on a cold expression and pushed him away. She jumped off the desk and asked coldly. “Are you testing me?”
Nathael’s brows furrowed, and his complexion darkened.
Without turning around, Maggie said with a hint of irritation, “If you don’t trust me, maybe we should just…
Before she could finish, a sharp pain shot through her wrist.
Nathael stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her back. He loomed above her, and his darked. eyes contained the rage he suppressed with gre
The words ‘break up‘ stuck in her throat, too painful to say out loud. Maggie met his now– cold gaze but couldn’t bring herself to utter those two words.,
She averted her eyes, not wanting to meet his stare, afraid she might break down and cry.
“I just don’t like you testing me,” she said softly.
Nathael’s lips pressed into a thin line, and he said nothing. Despite this, he knew what those unspoken
words were.
She wouldn’t feel tempted to say it aloud if she hadn’t had that thought.
Yet she almost did.
Nathael gripped her wrist tightly and lowered his gaze to hide the turbulent emotions within. He tried his best to suppress the growing sense of unease a
He didn’t want to scare her.
Nathael reassured himself that she just didn’t love him that much yet.
At least, he had gained so much compared to before.
Nathael slowly released her wrist and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go.”
Maggie stood there, watching his back. Her eyes welled up with tears. His straight posture and somber silhouette made her heart ache, filling her with a
She knew that he was happy when he came home, but he was probably heartbroken now.
Maybe this was for the best. At least he’d be mentally prepared. When the day arrived, it wouldn’t be as hard to accept.
The atmosphere was tense in the car, with neither of them speaking.
Half an hour later, Maggie and Nathael ate at a restaurant near the amusement park. Throughout the meal, they barely spoke.
Maggie had a little appetite. She took a few bites before putting down her spoon.
Nathael picked up some fish for her, carefully removing the bones and placing them on her plate. “Eat a bit more.” he said.
Maggie withdrew her gaze from the window to face him. She met his dark eyes.
The look in his eyes was calm; just like the dark night, there were signs of hidden emotions beneath the surface. His face was cold, and his jaw was clen
They stared at each other in silence; neither broke it.
It seemed like he would wait forever if she didn’t pick up her spoon.
Maggie finally looked away. She picked up the spoon and resumed eating. The food tasted good, but it was bitter in her mouth.
After forcing down a few more bites, the two headed into the amusement park.
They stood at the amusement park’s entrance. Maggie looked at the dazzling lights, and the sound of cheerful laughter surrounded her. Maggie felt she

As she grew older, she stopped caring about things. amusement parks.
Even though she’d never been there, she didn’t have the same fantasies or excitement about them that many kids did.
She stood here now, encircled by the vibrant colors, the rides, and the joyful atmosphere. The air was filled with the sweetness of candy and the sounds of laughter.
Maggie found herself liking it more than she expected.
She withdrew her attention and turned to the man beside her. Nathael stood with a stern expression, like a walking billboard. His expression was glum, as if someone o that he wanted to talk Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Maggie’s heart suddenly softened. She knew it was her fault.
Nathael was always perceptive and must have sensed something was wrong.
She cleared her throat and asked, “Did you bring me here just to stand here and stare at this place blankly?”
Nathael glanced down at her. His expression remained cold. His dark eyes held a mix of complex emotions–restraint, irritation, uncertainty, anger….
Maggie didn’t dare meet his gaze. Instead, she reached out with her pinky, hooking it around his finger. “Can we let that go now?” she asked, wanting to
Maggie didn’t want to waste their limited time together fighting.
The moment she touched his hand, he grabbed hers tightly.
He acted as if he’d been waiting for this moment for a long time, afraid she’d let it slip away.
Nathael lowered his eyes and glanced at her. His throat was tightening. His deep voice had a touch of helplessness and affection. “Can you please not m
Maggie smiled. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him gently on the lips. I’ve never been to an amusement park before. What made you bring me here?”
Nathael wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. Then he bit her lip ferociously.
“Ouch! That hurts!” Maggie struggled hard and tried to squirm away, but it was a sharp pain that made her eyes tear up a bit.
Nathael replied in a low voice, “I thought maybe, if it hurts a little, you’d remember not to throw those two words around”
Hearing that, Maggie fell silent.
She didn’t make a habit of threatening to break up whenever they had a fight. However, once she made a decision, it was difficult to keep it from affecting her subconscious.
