The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 266

Without seeing Lexi, Natalia's spirits were notably dampened.

A car suddenly pulled her over. Natalia lifted her head in irritation, expecting Addison to be causing trouble again. However, she was mistaken this time. The man who had stopped her was Magnus, who had received a text from Jonas and was in a hurry to get back.

He had been in a meeting when he received Jonas' message. Without a second thought, he left his colleagues behind in the office and sped off to find Natalia, fearing that something terrible had happened to her.

"Nat, are you okay? Is there any trouble? What happened to the person who was following you?" Magnus asked anxiously.

Seeing Magnus' worried expression, Natalia couldn't help but smile. This man was usually so ruthless and cold-hearted. How was it that he could get so flustered?

It was kind of heartwarming though.

"Oh, we just ran into Addison, but she's gone now. Everything's okay," Natalia reassured Magnus.

However, Magnus didn't seem convinced. "Addison? Why would she be following you? Honey, did she hurt you in any way? Let me check."

With that, Magnus took hold of Natalia and began to thoroughly examine her from head to toe. "Honey, are there any injuries that I can't see? Please tell me, I'm worried sick."

Natalia burst into laughter, but before she could say anything, Jonas gave Magnus a glaring eye roll. "Daddy, it seems there's also a certain someone's son here who hasn't received any consolation."

Magnus waved his hand dismissively. "Out of the way, of course, my wife is the most important."

A disgruntled Jonas sulked off to doodle in the dust.

Seeing Magnus' hand inching lower, and about to slip under her shirt, Natalia quickly caught his hand. "I'm really fine. You're the one who's harassing me."

"Harassing? How can this be considered harassment? I'm simply worried for you!" Magnus retorted with a hurt expression, clinging to Natalia, unwilling to let go. "Honey, as long as you weren't hurt by that detestable Addison, I can rest easy."

Knowing she couldn't out-talk Magnus, Natalia relented, gently saying, "I really am not hurt. Addison only had an argument with me, then she left."

Magnus' hand reluctantly left Natalia's soft skin, his voice filled with affection. "Sweety, did she have an argument with you? That despicable woman!"

Natalia nodded. "Yes, it seemed to be about Kendra. She said Kendra is in a bad condition."

"She deserves it. She brought it upon herself," Magnus admitted callously. "Yes, my men kidnapped her and sold her to an underground gambling ring. Since she likes to steal other women's men, I’ll give her a taste of different men."

Magnus looked nonchalant, but his words were chlling. Natalia felt a cold shiver run down her spine. "Magnus, if I upset you one day, would you do the same to me?"
