The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 251

After tidying up the mess of scattered food in the room, Rita stepped out with a sigh, leaving Lexi with a piece of advice before she left. "Miss, there's a saying in America, 'knowing yourself is the beginning of wisdom.' Your body is your own. If you ruin it, no one else can bear the consequences for you."

"Get out! Just get out!" Lexi felt like she was on the verge of madness, shouting at Rita, wishing she could vent all the anger boiling inside her.

Rita knew that Lexi would struggle to accept her current situation. Not wanting to add fuel to the fire, she quietly left the room.

Once again, Lexi was left alone in the room. She leaned against the wall, feeling dirty and spent. Her body was marked with the kisses of that shameless man, leaving a sticky, nauseating sensation. Lexi felt like she could vomit.

Taking a deep breath, she got to her feet and walked towards the corner of the room.

There was a bathroom there. She wanted to clean herself. In her current state, she felt utterly filthy!

For the entire day, Lexi had been held captive in Callum's mansion, feeling lonely and helpless, with no one to turn to for help.

Meanwhile, Natalia had stayed the night at Magnus' villa. After breakfast, she returned to the apartment with Jonas, worried that Lexi might be upset that she had left her alone.

Magnus, the clingy guy, came back with them. After their night together, Magnus was in high spirits, humming a tune all the way back. The lyrics were super cheesy.

Despite his pleasant voice, the lyrics were enough to give Natalia goosebumps. No matter how many times Natalia rolled her eyes at him, Magnus remained in a good mood, as if he was on cloud nine.

Soon, they arrived back at the apartment.

Pushing the door open, Natalia called out, "Lexi? Lexi?"

But there was no response from Lexi.

Magnus, holding Jonas' hand, walked in behind her. "No one's here. Maybe she didn't come back last night. After all, there are so many handsome guys in England. Maybe she had a romantic encounter?" While speaking, Magnus let out a teasing chuckle.

Natalia gave Magnus a hard pinch, scowling, "Don't talk nonsense. Do you think everyone is like you, with nothing but romance on their minds?"

Magnus spread his hands, looking innocent. "Honey, you're really misunderstanding me. When did I ever think of a romantic encounter? Even if I did, it would have to be with you!"

Natalia blushed at his words, pouting. "Jonas is here!"

Hearing Natalia's cute scolding, Magnus grinned cheekily. "I only say these things to my wife. Even if others wanted to hear them, I wouldn't bother."

Natalia couldn't help but shake her head, admitting defeat to this arrogant man.

After searching the room and finding no sign of Lexi, she noticed a note on the table. The note read. [Natalia, I’ve gone back home. Take care!]

"See, I told you something was happening. She left without saying goodbye. I bet she's fallen in love." Magnus teased.

Natalia shook her head. "No, this isn't Lexi's handwriting. Her writing is elegant and neat. She would never write this messily."

Saying this, she took out her phone and dialed Lexi's number. After two rings, a voicemail message came on.

After a bit of hustle and bustle, Natalia came out with freshly squeezed mango juice. She placed a large cup of mango juice on the table and politely asked, "Would you like some ice?"

"Yes!"

"Me too!"

Both father and son answered at the same time. Their eyes were glued to the freshly squeezed mango juice as if they had never had it before.

Natalia shook her head helplessly. No matter what she made, these two would always fight over it like children. After pouring them each a cup of mango juice and adding a bit of ice, Natalia was about to do the same for herself when Magnus stopped her. "Honey, I suggest you not have ice right now."

"Why not?" Natalia was taken aback. It was hot outside, and having some ice would be so refreshing.

Magnus gave her a wink. "Last night, we... what if... you know."

Natalia couldn't help but rub her temples. Enough was enough. Why was it that whenever she was with Magnus, he always steered the conversation in that direction?

However, recalling the suggestive undertones of last night, it seemed they really didn't take any precautions.

If there was a chance... Oh Lord, she was getting sidetracked again by Magnus!

Natalia was both embarrassed and frustrated, silently chiding herself for her lack of self-control, and always getting led astray by Magnus.
