Magnus returned to the familiar comfort of Maplewood Manor, finding Natalia waiting for him. She was perched on the sofa, her eyes glued to the television, engrossed in whatever it was she was watching
Seeing Natalia, Magnus felt a weightlifting off his chest–an antidote to the gloom that Lucius betrayal had cast.
Wheeling himself over to her, he simply watched her. “Were you waiting for me, darling?” he asked.
With summer vacation in full swing, Natalia spent her days at home, keeping to herself. She and Hector barely crossed paths. So, every evening when Magnus returned from work, she was there. It was a sight that Magnus had come to cherish. The thought of Natalia waiting for him filled him with a wellspring of energy His only thought after wrapping up his work for the day was to rush home and be with Natalia.
Natalia was so absorbed in her show that she didn’t notice Magnus until the sound of his wheelchair rolling closer broke her concentration. She turned her head to find Magnus, home from work, sitting in his wheelchair. His gaze was fixed on her, brimming with tenderness. His gaze alone was enough to make Natalia blush She couldn’t bear to meet his eyes. Instead, she was muttering shyly, “Linden said you’d be home early today, so I thought we could have dinner together”
Natalia had the freedom to go out with Lexi and have some fun, but she found herself content in Magnus home, reading books about Magnus’s leg condition and eagerly awaiting his return. When Lexi had called to invite her out earlier that day, she had declined without even hearing where they were going She didn’t know what Magnus thought, but she felt that if he came home to find her gone, he would be disappointed.
“You’re such a good girl. You waited for me to come home, and it makes me very happy” Magnus said, a grin spreading across his face.
With that, he reached out, gently caressing her cheek before sliding his hand down to her chin. He was about to lean in when Natalia, already flustered, asked, Magnus, what are you doing?”
Although it was his home, it was still a public area. Wasn’t he afraid of embarrassment?
Magnus was so handsome, and a gentleman when he wasn’t angry. But when it came to flirting, he became brazen and shameless. Magnus simply shrugged off Natalias feigned ignorance. “Of course, I’m going to kiss you,” he replied.
The more Natalia blushed, the more Magnus wanted to kiss her. Her lips were inviting, like cherries glistening in the spring rain.
However, his words made Natalia blush even more. “You you’re so improper! Aren’t you afraid of being seen and embarrassed?” she managed to
stutter
“Improper?” Magnus raised an eyebrow at Natalia’s audacity. He swiftly slid his hand down from her chin, pulling her onto his lap.
“Magnus, you.” Natalia became nervous, afraid that sitting on his lap might harm his legs.
But Magnus had been longing for her all day. There was no way he was going to let her go now. He held her tightly, declaring. There’s nothing improper about kissing my wife. Even if someone saw us, there would be no cause for embarrassment
His words were delivered so close to her that Natalia could feel the warmth of his breath. Her heart fluttered, and her face turned even redder. I’m not
your wife. You
Natalia wanted to correct him, but then she remembered his anger when she had said the same thing before, so she stopped abruptly. She looked at him
with wide, innocent eyes, not daring to say a word.
Magnus chuckled at her hesitation. He lowered his head, pressing his forehead against hers. He kissed her cheek, then her earlobe, whispering sweet nothings to her. Under his tender care, Natalia’s cheeks turned bright red, and her body felt weak.
Magnus just chuckled again, and his voice was as warm and soothing as hot cocoa on a cold day 7 invited Kyler over to the office today.”
In front of Natalia, Magnus was supposed to refer to Kyler as his “father–in–law NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
However, seeing how Kyler had let Natalia endure so much hardship because of Kendra, Magnus found it increasingly difficult to address him with that
title
Given what Kendra had done, Magnus had to suppress his anger. He didn’t order the Clarkson family to disappear from Melfort, and showed the utmost respect for Kyler. If it weren’t for him bringing Natalia into this world, and gifting him with such a precious gem. It would be bizarre if the Clarkson family were still intact and thriving in this city.
“What? What did you want with my dad, Magnus 7 Natalia’s voice trailed off when she heard Magnus had been looking for her father
