The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 62

Natalia stood frozen in surprise, he was back!

"...You're back?" She took a step forward, and a sudden sense of joy was washing over her. She

looked up into his deep, dark eyes.

Magnus gave Natalia a glance. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, slicing through the air towards

Hector.

Hector had never met Magnus, who had been living on an island. He only remembered seeing him a

few times when they were children. All he knew was that Magnus was wheelchair-bound. The moment

Hector met Magnus’ penetrating gaze, he was taken aback. If looks could kill, he’d be dead.

Magnus was dressed in a black shirt, his long legs encased in tailored trousers, resting neatly on the

footrest of his wheelchair. If it weren't for the wheelchair, it would be impossible to tell he was disabled.

His body radiated an aura of indifference and a strong sense of possessiveness!

"Magnus, long time no see." Hector was the first to break the silence.

Magnus glanced at him lightly. "Have we met before?"

Hector was stunned. It had been a long time, but they had met ten years ago. Just as he was about to

say something, he saw Magnus had already wheeled himself to the side of Natalia. "Why didn't you let

Linden come to pick you up?"

His voice was soft, almost a whisper from his throat.

He lifted his hand to touch Natalia's face, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Sorry to have

startled you, my darling."

"It's okay, when did you come back?" Natalia gently held his hand.

"Just now!" He gazed deeply into her eyes, his eyes brimming with infinite affection.

Hector stood there awkwardly, watching their interaction. His heart felt like it had been ripped out! He

had never known their relationship was like this. He stood there quietly, watching them gaze

affectionately at each other. His arms dropped to his sides, and his fists clenched. "Magnus, I need to

talk to you." No matter what, Hector had to have a conversation with him.

"About what?" Magnus turned to him slowly. "I don't think we're familiar with each other, and there's

nothing to talk about."

Hector stepped forward. "I believe we should have a conversation. After all, you are not Natalia's

husband. Kendra is your legal wife, isn't she?"

Upon hearing his words, Magnus closed his eyes, then reopened them. His wheelchair swiftly moved to

Hector’s side. "Don't you think you're meddling too much? This is the Andersen family, not the Cood

family. What right do you have to question my relationship with Nat? Are you her first love? Her

classmate?" Magnus’ cold demeanor visibly darkened.

Upon hearing his words, Natalia was shocked. She quickly turned around. "Hector, go home. Thank

you for bringing me back."

Hector glanced at Natalia but didn’t leave. Instead, he continued to stare at Magnus. "Magnus, let This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Natalia go. Your feud with Lucius and your personal vendetta doesn’t involve Natalia. She's innocent,

she still has to go to school..."

"Hector!" Hector was cut off by Magnus’ icy voice. "Aren’t you meddling too much? My family feud has

nothing to do with you, and my woman has nothing to do with you! How I involve her is my business,

and I don’t need a stranger to worry about my affairs!"

His gaze was chillingly cold, and it was clear he was barely containing his anger. "Linden, see the

guest out!"

He turned and wheeled towards the elevator, not sparing a glance at anyone in the room.

"Of course!" Linden immediately stepped forward. "This way, please."

Hector watched as the elevator doors closed, then turned to Natalia, who was still standing there in

shock. His heart ached.

Natalia snapped out of her daze. "You should go, Hector. I can handle my own affairs. I'm sorry!"

Her lonely figure ascended the staircase. Hector watched her disappear, silently vowing to himself.

“Natalia, I will get you out of here!” He walked out of the mansion and drove off.

On the balcony of the second-floor study, Magnus sat in his wheelchair, watching the car disappear into

the distance, before wheeling over to his desk.

Natalia gently pushed the door open and walked in. "Magnus, Hector is just a friend from school. He

came along with the police to rescue me, and he just gave me a lift back from the hospital. There's

nothing going on between us."

She felt the need to explain because the precondition for her to go to school was to keep her distance

from other men. But today, it seemed he already knew that Hector was her first love. She didn't know if

he would hold it against her.

Upon hearing her words, Magnus looked up at her. Seeing her standing there, so cautious, he felt a

pang of guilt. "Come here," he beckoned. Natalia walked over and stood next to him.

He pulled her onto his lap.

He had been gone a week, and she had missed him. After all, he was the only one in her world.

Looking at her thoughtful expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Was he your first love?"

Natalia's eyes fell, and she nodded. "I've already made it clear to him. From now on... we'll keep our

distance."

"How far did you two go? Holding hands, kissing, or more?" Judging from Hector's attitude, he knew

they must have been close. Even though he knew she was a virgin, he couldn't help but feel jealous.

He asked deliberately, wanting to see her flustered, wanting her to explain. He enjoyed seeing her in a

tizzy.

"Magnus... we didn't do any of those things, how could you... not everyone is like you!" She blushed

furiously.

She and Hector hadn't kissed, but they had held hands. And this man was accusing her...

Magnus chuckled. "So your first kiss was with me? Hector really didn't touch you?" He mused that if

Hector had, he'd make him wish he were dead, no matter who he was.

"No. I... wasn't it all because of you..." Natalia clenched her fists, wishing she could punch him, but she

didn't dare. This man was too awful, knowing full well that she hadn't done anything, yet deliberately

questioning her like this.

Seeing her irritation, Magnus pulled her into his arms. "Then let me taste how sweet your kiss is." With

that, he leaned down to kiss her.

Her lips were as sweet as ever, even sweeter than when he had pulled her from the sea a couple of

days ago; back then, her mouth had tasted of saltwater.

That day, he got a message from Linden, promptly dropped everything at the company, and instructed

James to track down the ship involved in the kidnapping. Using satellites, James found the ship that

had abducted Natalia in just ten minutes, and it was headed towards the UK.

Magnus immediately set off to intercept the ship, instructing James to find out who had ordered

Natalia's kidnapping. He discovered it was the thugs from Melfort, who had accepted a million from

Kendra to dispose of Natalia into the sea. However, the two men, captivated by Natalia's beauty,

decided against it, and thought of smuggling her to the UK instead.

To protect his identity, Magnus infiltrated the ship that had kidnapped Natalia, masquerading as his own

bodyguard to rescue her. But he soon found out that Natalia's first love at Melfort College was Hector.

In the heat of the moment, he didn't know what he would have done if Hector weren't the son of his

uncle.

After returning to France to wrap up his business, he rushed back, ready to pick her up from the

hospital with Linden, only to find out that Hector had beaten him to it.
