NovelEnglishChapter 666 Fred and Rob wrapped up their conversation in a hurry, and then Fred made his way to the shadows, wrapping his arm around Maggie as they headed back to the Maybach.
"When did the Maggie I know start getting so insecure? If you've done nothing wrong, what are you hiding from?" Maggie puffed out her cheeks and sighed, "I'm worried about him being stuck in the middle." "Did you catch what he said just now?" "Yeah." Maggie was lost in thought, her emotions a mix of everything.
"I hate to admit it, but you do have a certain charm about you." Saying this, Fred helped Maggie into the car. Once settled, she turned to face him: "What charm?" Under the moonlight, her eyes shone so brightly that a flicker of something passed through Fred's gaze.
"A kind... that makes everyone like you." Hearing this, a rare smile crossed Maggie's face.
"Stop trying to comfort me. Not everyone likes me. Hackett Fitzgerald, Yuna, even Zoe and Ablett, they don't like me." Fred sat close to Maggie, suddenly touching his forehead to hers: "At least the people you care about, they all like you." Maggie's heartbeat skipped a beat, then she countered: "What about you? Are you... one of them?" Fred's expression momentarily froze, his deep gaze fixed on Maggie as he fell into thought.

After a long while, a pleased smile formed on Fred's lips, yet he didn't directly answer Maggie's question.
Instead, he changed the subject, his tone becoming more formal.
"I can't get your paperwork done at the corporation these days. Stay withat Poppy Petal Fragrances a bit longer. If Yuna reacts badly, please be patient." Not getting a response from Fred, Maggie felt somewhat disheartened.
She leaned back tiredly in her seat, her eyelids drooping as she murmured softly: "I'm not afraid. Besides, if Penelope doesn't show up, Yuna probably won't go to the office either." She mumbled, then fell silent.
In the darkness behind her eyelids, Maggie's mind was filled with memories of Penelope.
She remembered their first meeting, the business card Penelope had given her.
She remembered how Penelope always wore a scarf around her neck, no matter what she wore.
She remembered how Penelope had held her hand tand again, showing her affection.
Every moment with Penelope was beautiful and moving. Before Maggie could properly return the favor, everything cto an abrupt end.
A tear slowly traced down her cheek, yet Maggie's face remained expressionless.
Then, she felt someone gently wiping away the tear from her eye corner.

She turned to look at Fred, a surge of grievances flooding her heart.
"I've never really had a family, just a few people who've been kind to me. After my grandma passed, only En Jocelyn and Penelope were left.
Now that something's happened to Penelope, I'm really scared of this feeling of separation. You know, in my heart, I've always thought of Penelope as my mother..." Maggie went on and on, her hands repeatedly wiping away her tears.
But strangely, the more she wiped, the more tears came, seemingly endless.
Fred, heart aching, moved to embrace her, but Maggie opened her eyes wide again, glaring at him with displeasure and anxiety. Her voice was soft yet firm, "And you! Why do you always avoid my questions?" Chapter 666 Tip: You can use left, right keyboard keys to browse between chapters.
