The Imposter Bride

Chapter 67

10:40

Just moments ago, Natalia had been blushing and overjoyed by the intimate gestures he’d bestowed upon her. Now, she was a bundle of nerves.

Magnus was, after all, an incredibly dangerous man. Natalia truly worried for her father’s well–being.

As she was about to voice her concern, Magnus, noticing her anxiety, furrowed his brows and silenced her with a hand over her lips. He looked her straight in the eye and said, “Why are you so nervous? Even for your sake, I wouldn’t harm your father. I brought him here to settle the matter of my divorce from Kendra. I told you I would give you a marriage license, and I will. I don’t want to hear anything about Kendra and me coming from your lips anymore”

The mere thought of that night, Kendra, drunk as a skunk, slurring her words, made Magnus sick to his stomach. He was grateful Kendra hadn’t been shipped off to Sapphire Island if she had been, he probably wouldn’t have lasted three days before wringing her neck.

“You you’re serious? You’re really divorcing Kendra? Magnus‘ determination took Natalia aback.

Unsure if she could actually remain by his side, Natalia was at a loss for words. Sometimes, Natalia found it hard to decipher what was going on in Magnus mind. He didn’t want her to leave and promised her commitment Was it because he was reluctant to let her go, or did he harbor a hint of affection for her?

The mere thought startled Natalia. She scolded herself, “What am I thinking? Magnus was supposed to marry Kendra. If he did fall for someone, it should’ve been Kendra. Even if he no longer loves her, he wouldn’t fall for me.”

If Magnus ever regained the use of his legs, there was no chance of being with him. A handsome and charismatic man like him had countless fangirls swooning, even while confined to a wheelchair. Once he could stand, there would be no place for Natalia by his side. So why did she entertain the thought of Magnus having feelings for her?

Sensing her doubts, Magnus chuckled helplessly, gently caressing her pert nose. When have I ever lied to you? I keep my promises.”

With that, he leaned in and captured her lips. Their kiss was sweet and tender, as if Natalia were a piece of candy he wanted to devour.

Due to his busy schedule and Natalia’s studies, they hadn’t had a chance for sex in days.

Finally, having the opportunity to kiss his sweetheart, Magnus wasn’t about to let her escape so easily. He held Natalia close, kissing her passionately as she sat on his lap. The sight gave a passing maid quite a start. She thought, “Mr. Magnus truly adores Ms. Natalia. He doesn’t even mind her sitting on his

lap

Since Magnus was unwilling to release Natalia, they spent a while in their intimate embrace. By the time they sat down for dinner, it was quite late

Having been caught kissing in the hall by the maids, Natalia was too embarrassed to look anyone in the eye, keeping her head down as she ate

Magnus, on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed by the day’s events, eating heartily and even feeding Natalia some bites, which only made her more flustered

After dinner, ignoring Natalia’s shy demeanor, Magnus took her hand and wheeled himself upstairs. “I have some work to do. Keep me company in the study Once I’m done, we’ll sleep together Magnus didn’t go straight to their bedroom but took Natalia to the study instead.

At his words, Natalia’s face flushed a deep red. She knew exactly what he meant by “sleep together.” if she wasn’t embarrassed, it would be strange

Shed thought she’d have some peace with Magnus out late dealing with work, but it seemed she’d been too naive. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Magnus, who had deliberately said such a thing to make Natalia blush, chuckled at her reaction. He settled himself at the desk in the study to finish some paperwork while Natalia, having nothing better to do, studied a book on massage she’d recently acquired.

Halfway through her studying, she looked up to find Magnus by the bookshelf, teaching for some files on the top shelf. Despite his height and long arms. the files were just out of reach. Natalia quickly stood and rushed over to help. “Don’t move. Magnus. Let me get that for you”

1 got it.” Natalia said, scampering over to him and reaching out to take the stack of papers from his hands.

There was a fondness in Magnus gaze as he watched her. He had seen Natalia so engrossed in her reading that he didn’t want to disrupt her; hence, he d made the dash for the documents himself

And because she was there, he couldn’t stand to fetch the documents, so he had to grit his teeth and remain seated to retrieve them

After all, the reason Natalia was reading so intently was for his sake. Even though she might’ve still wanted to leave him, he would definitely not give her

that chance

“Let me do it,” she said, taking the stack of papers Natalia turned to hand it over to Magnus. But perhaps her muevement was too swift Along with the papers, she had managed to displace something else

A lightweight piece of paper fluttered down, landing on the floor beside the bookshelf
