Chapter 82 I've Been Hurt Before
"I... I didn't mean it!" Maggie exclaimed, attempting to retract her foot without changing her expression.
She had accidentally kicked Nathael's face.
She couldn't help but wonder if tomorrow's headline in Aquapolis would be "The Camerons' adopted daughter found dead in the wilderness!" or "The Camerons' eldest daughter buried at scal Oh no, this is bad!
Maggie shook her head. She tried to clear her mind of all the jumbled thoughts while desperately attempting to pull her foot back. However, Nathael's large hand tightly gripped her ankle. It's hot and strong, like an iron bucket. She couldn't break free at all.
"Mr. Harris, 1 ditin't mean it. Your face is so handsome, and I admire it so much. How could I bear to kick it, right?"
Maggie hurriedly explained. But the next moment, Nathael grabbed her ankle, pulled her back, and drew her into his arms. Maggi forced a smile, trying to play it cool.
In the next moment, a sudden pain shot through her shoulder.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Maggie cried out. Her whole body was tense, and she instinctively tried to push him away. But she couldn't move because his hand firmly held her slender waist.
Tears the size of beans fell down her face. Maggie gasped in pain.
After a while, the pain gradually subsided. Nathael released his grip, gently kissing the bite mark on her
shoulder.
Maggie trembled with anger, glaring at the man in front of her.
He's so mean! Stingy!
"Nathael, are you a dog? You actually bit me!"
Her words were trembling with anger. She was truly furious. In her past life, he wouldn't even touch her finger, but now he was treating her like this.
"It's mine." Nathael's gaze swept over her slightly swollen shoulder. The clear marks on it somehow calmed
all his restlessness.
Only he knew that the intense desire to possess and take, the increasing restlessness, was like a wild beast trapped in a cage, about to break free and become uncontrollable. Maggie was so angry that she couldn't speak. So, she sniffed and ran into the bathroom.

slightly swollen shoulder, many of the tooth marks fading, but a red mark swelling up, like a long leaf.
So everything in the post was true!
Nathael was mentally disturbed.
After coming out of the bathroom, she ignored Nathael. First, she took out her phone, found the post she had made before, and gave a bold thumbs up to the first comment. Just as she was about to close the page, her gaze fell on the profile picture of the guy selling medicine. After hesitating momentarily, she added him on Instagram.
After he accepted, Maggie didn't hesitate to pass him on to Nathael.
This is a sickness that needs to be treated!
After that, Maggie decided to go to sleep directly, not wanting to have anything to do with him. No, she didn't even want to look at him.
Nathael reached out and pulled her into his arms, whispering. "Does it hurt?"
"Rubbish! Doesn't it hurt if I bite you?" Maggie couldn't contain her anger. She lifted her small face to stare at him. Her beautiful eyes were filled with accusation. Nathael tugged at the corner of his lips and whispered, "It hurts, so you'll remember."
D*mn it!
Is that even human language?
Maggie was itching she raised her s
hh hatred. After a few seconds, she grabbed Nathael's arm and bit him fiercely. Then to look at him and said, with a hint of provocation, "It hurts, so you'll remember."
She returned the same words.
Surprisingly, Nathael didn't only dodge the bite, but also didn't even frown.
Maggie
paused, gazing at the teeth marks on his arm, feeling a sense of unease.
The large and round marks made her wonder if they were from her mouth.
Were my teeth really that big?
In contrast, the string on her shoulder by Nathael suddenly seemed somewhat appealing..
Reflecting on this, Maggie felt the urge to shake herself out of such thoughts.
What was she thinking? Did she have a tendency towards self-inflicted pain?
Nathael noticed her expression. With a bit of self-mockery, he said casually, "I've been hurt before."
Unfortunately, even the pain couldn't teach him a lesson.
He is willing to give everything, as long as she beckons.

Maggie was taken aback by his response. Her heart suddenly ached, and her throat tightened.
Was it because of the deceit and manipulation from before?
She wanted to explain, but she found herself at a loss for words because that was the reality.
"Go to sleep, my dear, Nathacl gently stroked her hair and said.
He didn't know when this illusion would shatter or when the lies would be exposed. Despite knowing it was all wishful thinking, he couldn't break free from it. He couldn't resist it.
It was like drinking poison to quench thirst, like walking down a dead-end road with the foolish hope that it might stretch a bit longer.
Two days later, Maggie was summoned back to the Camerons.
Since Sierra's expulsion from the Camerons, she hasn't been allowed to return. However, Mia had informed Maggie about Olivia sending Sierra back to the Pierces.
Currently, Sierra is residing with Madam Pierce, and everything seems to be going smoothly.
Upon Maggie's arrival, she sensed a somber atmosphere at home. Even Noah Cameron and Luna Cameron, who had been absent for a while, had gathered, hinting at something important to discuss "Maggie is back Olivia greeted Maggie warmly.
"Mom." Maggie remained composed, contemplating the Camerons' intentions.
Since her rebirth, many things have changed. These things set off a chain reaction that could lead to further transformations.
"The Hershire
I Park project has been handed over to the Burtons. In the coming years, it will be challenging for us to secure government projects, which is concerning, Master Cameron stated gravely.
He paused before continuing. "And just this morning, the Chronopolis project was officially signed by Nathael with the Adams."
Losing two major projects was undoubtedly bad news.
Luna expressed her dissatisfaction, questioning, "Why wasn't the Chronopolis project secured? When Nathael mistreated Maggie, why didn't you capitalize on the opportunity to benefit the family?"
At forty-plus years old, Luna still wore heavy makeup. Though she was still attractive, her sharp features and slightly slanted eyes gave her a harsh, materialistic appearance.
Indeed, that was the reality.
As Ronald's and Noah's younger sister, Luna was not as cunning as Ronald or as ruthless as Noah. Nonetheless, Maggie had endured the most bullying from her and her daughter during her past life at the
Camerons.
Maggie suspected Luna might not understand the Camerons' motive for adopting her. She likely believed Maggie's superiority was due to the family's favor, allowing her to mistreat her.
