Chapter 254

1228 She refrained from even mentioning Magnus, as her decision to go to France wasn’t about him, but about the need to be there for their son Callum, though, took this as a huge irony. He didn’t anticipate that his girl, his darling, would eventually fall for Magnus‘ relentless pursuit and decide to go back to him. She was even too afraid to tell Callum the real reason for her departure.

‘Darling, are you sure? You want to go back with this jerk? After all he’s done to you, can’t you see him for what he is? Callum was struggling to keep his temper in check if they weren’t in public, he would have already punched Magnus right in the nose He hated Magnus for taking his girl away from him Magnus scoffed. “What! Are you trying to break up a married couple? Is this the so called British gentleman’s nobleness? Well, I’ve seen it all now”

Jonas, their son, also chimed in Uncle Callum 1 like you a bit but when compared to my dad Ill always side with him! Plus, I love my mom and want her to live with me He turned to his mom, Natalia, with worried eyes “Mommy am I right? You said you’d always live with me”

Looking at the tears welling up in little Jonas‘ eyes, Natalia felt a pang in her heart. She knew that although Jonas seemed independent and well behaved, he was still a child who longed to be with his mom.

To ease Jonas fears, Natalia pulled him onto her lap and wiped the cake crumbs from his mouth with a napkin. “Yes, I promised you this, didet? Dont worry, sweetie Jonas finally smiled. “Mommy, a promise is a promise, right?”

Nataba was surprised that Jonas knew about promises, but she figured Magnus must have taught him well “Of course, sweetie. Mommy always keeps her promises the reassured him with a smile, then turned to Callum “Cal, you see, my son really needs me. These past five years. I’ve missed out on so much of his life I don’t want to miss any more moments of him as he grows up The sincerity in Natalia’s voice was palpable. Women might’ve been seen as fragile, but the moment they became mothers, they transformed into unbending pillars of strength No matter how vulnerable they seemed to be, they yearned to be their child’s strongest support.

Callum could see the sincerity in Natalia’s words, but he wasn’t ready to give up just yet. ‘Darling we are living in modern times. If you don’t want to separate from him, I cam bring you both to live with me.

Besides…”

“Mr. Callum, if my presence here can’t earn your respect, then perhaps we should settle this privately Magnus interrupted coldly That damn British guy! He actually had the audacity to try and steal his wife right in front of him. And that’s not all, he shamelessly wants to take his son as well!

Enough is enough!

Taking his manners as incompetence. Callum was pushing his limit.

The anger in Magnus’s heart grew stronger and stronger. He loosened his shirt collar, wishing he could just beat Callum right then and there Callum was never a coward Since he dared to instigate Natalia to leave Magnus in front of him, he naturally wasn’t afraid of Magnus’s provocation.

He intentionally said this as he wanted to set Natalia free, but he also couldn’t stand this guy’s arrogance.

Callum, never one to back down stood up and flexed his wrists. “Why not now? Let’s settle this once and for all, shall we?”

“Let’s go The two proud men were ready to duel, leaving Natalia stunned “Have you both lost your minds? Fighting? Are you three years old? Do you have any dignity left?”

Natalia shouted at their retreating backs, effectively halting their steps Magnus was the first to reply “Honey don’t worry about this if I don’t show this Brit my strength, he’ll think I’m a pushover. I’ll make sure he regrets messing with us.

Stop Natalia shook her head, frustrated “How old are you? Your son is almost in elementary school, and here you are, ready to fight like a child. Have you no flight is about to take off! If you keep this up, we may as well not leave today”

When Magnus heard that their flight was about to take off, he quickly apologized and tried to diffuse the situation with a smile. “Honey, I was wrong Let’s hot argue with tum anymore Can we leave now?”

Natalia finally nodded in approval, then turned to Callum Cal Magnus has always been a bit rude If he said anything inappropriate, please dont take it to feart, Callum remained silent Natalia’s subconscious actions had revealed her true feelings. Perhaps she didn’t realize it, but in her heart, she was closer to Marius She stold him freely, whereas she always referted to Callum with respect and politeness creating a distance between them.
