Chapter 160
The Imposter Bride
Hearing Lindenâs words, a chill ran down Magnusâ spine. âWait, what did she say that day?â he implored hastily Linden gave Magnus a puzzled look. âWhat else could she say? She didnât leave with him, of course.
She sent him away. But he was persistent, left his number, and said he would be waiting for her.â
Leave? Over his dead body. Magnus face turned icy cold. He turned on his heel and headed up the stairs.
Watching the irate figure of Magnus, Linden suddenly regretted his words. Had he said too much?
Should he have been less detailed? But whatâs said was said, and whatâs done was done. Magnus was clearly so attached to his wife that he wouldnât dare quarrel with her. There was no way this Englishman could measure up to him.
Shaking his head, Linden went back to his things Magnus clambered up the stairs to the main bedroom and kicked open the door, which startled Natalia She was engrossed in her jade piece when Magnus suddenly appeared, startling her so much that she dropped the pendant onto the floor. Luckily, the thick carpet cushioned the fall, preventing the pendant from breaking Natalia bent down to pick up her pendant, frowning at Magnus Whatâs the matter?â
Magnus strode over to her, growling in a stern voice, Who is this Englishman? What right does he have to take you away?! Whatâs going on between you Two? So, you wanted to leave with him! No wonder youâve been insisting on breaking up with me.â
Damn it, he had thought she cared for him, and the lipstick mark from that night had made him feel guilty.
Seeing Magnus livid face, Natalia realized he knew about Callumâs visit She didnât think she had done anything wrong. Why was Magnus interrogating her so aggressively?
âHe said he knew me before I was five, when I lived in England, Natalia replied nonchalantly, not planning to explain too much to Magnus. After all, she herself didnât know much about Callum. How could she explain him to Magnus?
âKnew you? When did you live in England? He s clearly trying to take advantage of you, even daring to come here?â Magnus looked down at Natalia, grabbing her shoulders and pulling her up. Tell me! Are you planning to leave me for him and go to England?â
Natalia was dazed by Magnus sudden outburst. His face looked so fierce and terrifying that she was genuinely frightened. This must be his true nature, right? Suspicious of others without any real basis And what about him? He was constantly flirting with Isabella but would never admit it. Talk about double standards.
âSpeak upâ Do you want to leave with him? Do you want to leave me? Not getting a response from Natalia, Magnusâ voice rose in frustration. It seemed like the only way to cover up his fear of her leaving.
âYes! Yes, I do want to leave with him Nataliaâs stubbornness kicked in, and she bravely met Magnus fiery gaze 1 think weâre not meant to be, Mr. Andersen. You status are too high above me, and I cant reach you Let me go, and let yourself go tooâ
She suddenly felt that this place was no longer suitable for her, and this man was no longer the one who had given her a home. It would be better to sort it out all at once, to avoid losing everything and her dignity in the future âImpossible Magnusâ worst fear was Natalia wanting to leave him Hearing her say it, his emotions spiraled out of control. I wonât allow it. I absolutely wonât let you leave me, not unless Iâm dead You want to leave with that Englishman? What a ludicrous idea!â Magnus gripped her shoulders fiercely, the fury in his eyes threatening to explode âBut why should we continue like this if neither of us is happy?â Natalia lowered her head in despair.
Her future with Magnus was bleak, with no hope in sight He was the affluent CEO of Andersen Corporation, who could turn the tides in Melfort at his whim. He could have any woman he wanted Why would he care about her, a girl no one else wanted, not even her own mother? What was there for her to hold onto? The distance between them was as vast as the starry sky With this thought, Natalia mustered up her courage and looked Magnus in the eye. âMagnus, let me go, and let yourself go too. Weâre not meant to be. reallyâ
Hearing Natalia say let me go again, Magnus felt like his heart was being ripped apart What did she mean by not meant to be, and let her gol Did she even know what she was saying?!
She was the only woman he had ever loved in this world, and that alone was more than enough. How could there be any distanceâ All she needed to do was be his wife But no matter how many times he said this, she wouldnât believe him. She kept misunderstanding his true feelings, even now, thinking he didnât truly love her.
This girl, whom he loved and hated, he wished he could swallow her whole And now she wanted to leave with another man? impossible Looking at her cold and indifferent gazes, Magnus felt a chill in his heart. Her eyes were devoid of any emotion, isolating him and her in two separate worlds, unreachable and insurmountable All his chaotic emotions came rushing to his head. He could decide whether to take on billion dollar deals in a second, yet he was at a loss when it came to this girl She was his nemesis, sent by god to punish him After waiting for a while without any response from Magnus, Natalia prodded, âMagnus, we really mmm Magnus couldnât stand it any longer. The words coming out of her mouth were like knives, each one stabbing his heart He wouldnât let her go, not even her dreams Without any hesitation, he leaned down and kissed her, silencing her beautiful lips, so they wouldnât utter any more words that angered him.
The searing kiss was an invasion, a conquering force that ruthlessly awept over Nataliaâs lips and tongue, grazing her delicate taste buds and refusing to 11:00 retreat. Every time at this moment, it always made him linger and unable to tear himself away.
Natalia passively accepted Magros domineering yet gentle kiss, yet her mind was filled with images of him with Isabella. Her hand was relentlessly pounding on Magnus back, the man was kissing her again, âLet go mmhâ¦let go of me.â
Even if she gathered all her strength, this slight force wouldnât be of any concern to Magnus. Especially considering that Natalia wasnât even using all her strength at this moment, as the enchanting smell radiating from him left her feeling weak and powerless.
