The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 70

If Natalia were to leave Magnus, for Hector or any other man, Magnus would never allow it!

Magnus was always noted for his strength. Despite his seemingly crippled legs, he always managed to

exhaust Natalia. So when Magnus finally growled in satisfaction, marking the end of their passionate

sex, Natalia didn't have the energy left even to speak. She pretended to sleep, turning her head to the

side, yet her mind was alert.

“Darlin'?” Magnus, having released his pent-up energy, was still annoyed with Natalia. Seeing her

asleep with wet eyelashes and tear stains on her face, even in his anger, he couldn't find it in him to be

harsh.

After getting off her, he called out to her, hoping to clear up the issues if she was still awake. He made

it clear that he wouldn't let her leave. He seemed to really like Natalia, a feeling he'd never had for any

other woman before. So even if Natalia hated him, her leaving was not an option!

Natalia heard Magnus calling her, but she chose to ignore him. She coiled up under the blanket,

keeping her mouth shut.

“Ah…” Magnus, knowing Natalia was awake but choosing to ignore him, exhaled a sigh. He then

moved to his wheelchair, lifted the blanket, and picked up Natalia, who was still unclothed, and took her

to the bathroom. He filled the bathtub with water, first putting Natalia in, then supported his own body

into the tub.

After they were both clean, Magnus held Natalia and returned to the master bed, where he fell into a

deep sleep with her in his arms.

Natalia, who had been exhausted, had long fallen asleep.

The next day, Natalia was awoken by a strong ray of sunlight piercing through the opened curtains and

landing on her face.

“Whoosh!” As Natalia was shielding her eyes from the light, the curtains were abruptly drawn. Soon,

the sound of a wheelchair moving was heard, and it stopped by her bed.

Then came the gentle voice of Magnus. “Wake up. You've slept a long time.”

Magnus hadn't planned to wake Natalia so early, knowing how tired she was. But then he remembered

how she challenged him last night, saying she wouldn't marry him.

Though his anger had subsided after the release, there was still a rock weighing on his chest, he

needed to clear things up with her.

“Ah.” Surprised by this method of waking her, Natalia wondered who would disturb her sleep. When

she heard Magnus' voice and saw the handsome man in a white shirt and trousers sitting on a

wheelchair by her bed, she was fully awake.

This, of course, included Magnus' harsh words from last night, so, Natalia's mood, which was not so

bad in the early morning, immediately turned gloomy.

She didn't feel she did anything wrong the night before. Magnus had the right to like other women, and

she had the right to choose whether to stay with him. Was she wrong in thinking this? With these

thoughts, Natalia didn't say much, she simply got dressed, freshened up, and went downstairs.

Magnus, seeing Natalia's indifference towards him in the morning, went downstairs while she was

getting dressed.

By the time Natalia was ready, Magnus was already sitting at the dining table, leisurely eating his

breakfast. Natalia took a seat at the table, wondering, “What time is it now? Magnus hasn't gone to the

office yet? Is he staying to settle scores over last night's incident?”

As Natalia was pondering and not speaking, Magnus, who was eating elegantly like a prince, finally

spoke. His tone was light as if last night's events were a figment of her imagination. “I will only work half

a day at the office today and will be back by noon. Be ready to give me a massage in the afternoon.”

Magnus originally planned to handle the Lucius situation quickly, and then he would have enough time

to do whatever Natalia wanted. But given the current situation, Magnus felt his plan wouldn't work.

Across from him, the enemy was not just Lucius. There was also Hector, who was constantly trying to

steal Natalia away from him.

Natalia was surprised to hear Magnus would only be at the office for half a day. She couldn't help but

look at him.

“What? Is there a problem? Didn't you say you prepared a lot of plans yesterday? So, were you lying to

me yesterday?” Seeing Natalia's gaze, Magnus also looked up at her. Although he knew Natalia had

been studying massage techniques at Maplewood Manor, he expressed doubt.

He thought to himself, “This girl is getting more and more daring. She was clearly in the wrong

yesterday, and yet she dares to ignore me this morning. If I didn't care for her so much, wouldn't I be at

a loss right now?”

It was a surprise to hear such words from Magnus this early morning. Natalia, who had been feeling NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Magnus' kindness lately, couldn't help but furrow her brows. She set down her knife and fork.

Swallowing her feelings of hurt, she said, "How dare I deceive you? Well then, I'll await your return at

Maplewood Manor."

Natalia's tone was harsh, but Magnus had no intention of arguing with her. He disregarded the

resentment and sorrow in her eyes and simply finished his meal on his plate. Then, with Linden

pushing his wheelchair, Magnus left for the office.

Once Magnus had left, Natalia, who had lost all appetite, didn't eat anymore. She turned around and

went upstairs, locking herself in her room to read.
