Chapter 116

And so she sat on Magnus lap, and her eyes were wide with curiosity as she questioned him. But in her mind, she was thinking, “Is the cute person he mentioned the girl in the portrait that the secretly keeps in his study?”

However, at Natalia’s question, Magnus smile only broadened. He extended his slender finger and lightly tapped her on the nose. Then he chuckled indulgently, “Of course, it’s you, my lady”

In this world, no one could be more adorable than his wife Natalia’s cheeks flushed at his touch, trying to suppress her smile. She laughed “What’s so cute about me? Don’t you always say I’m a bit clueless?” She couldn’t understand why Magnus was always so cold and aloof in front of others but was completely different around her. She didn’t know that Magnus had already cherished her as a treasure in his heart. Only in front of their beloved would a man reveal such tenderness.

“You’re indeed a little clueless, which is exactly what I adore about you,” he whispered in her ear. “It’s so much fun to tease you, you actually enjoy my teasing, don’t you? Magnus was absolutely smitten by Natalia’s shy demeanor.

So he held her waist tightly and bent down to kiss her. To him, Natalia was like a sweet dessert that was addictive, and made him crave for more. Every time he saw her, he felt the urge to take her to bed.

However, Natalia was helpless against Magnus‘ advances and could only lean back to avoid his onslaught. With a hint of despair, she said, ‘Magnus, can you please stop? Haven’t you teased me enough? I’m not a masochist, so why would I enjoy being teased by you?”

“Of course you enjoy it! Teasing you is my way of showing you my love and only I am allowed to tease you! My baby!” He said, and immediately sealed her lips with a deep, passionate kiss Magnus knew that his relentless advances would probably annoy Natalia, but he couldn’t help himself.

After a long, passionate kiss, he finally released her. He gazed at Natalia with gentle eyes. “I’ve had the villa completely renovated. If you like, we can move there once everything is sorted out The villa was his gift to Natalia, their home. Despite the misfortunes that had occurred there, Magnus knew Natalia still loved the place because it was her “home”

“Hmm. As expected, Natalia didn’t refuse when Magnus suggested the idea. She simply nodded obediently and rested her head sweetly against Magnus chest.

Being with Magnus made her happy, no matter where they lived. He promised to give her a home and she believed him.

With only half a day left till the deadline Magnus had set for Kendra, Magnus was not in a hurry to call her, but calmly handled his official duties in his office. He already had enough leverage to deal with Lucius and Kendra. Even if Kendra failed to deliver what he wanted, Magnus could easily deal with his brother.

Just as Magnus was thinking about this, there was a knock on his office door Paul stood at the door, respectfully announcing, “Sir, Ms. Clarkson is here.” “Oh, is she? Let her in ” Hearing Paul’s words, Magnus simply smiled and signaled his assistant to bring Kendra in.

After the last time when he lost his temper and hurt Kendra she seemed to have learned her lesson.

She entered Magnus office with her head bowed in humility. If Magnus was not familiar with her true nature, he might have been deceived by her demeanor.

When Kendra entered the room, Paul left, leaving the two of them alone. Kendra finally lifted her gaze to meet Magnus‘ deep, icy eyes, which were as cold as ice but captivating.

Feeling suffocated by Magnus overpowering aura, Kendra began, “Mr. Magnus, I have what you want.

Does this mean that you won’t divorce me? Magnus had previously stated that if she didn’t want a divorce, she needed to show sincerity. Now that she had shown her sincerity, Magnus would fulfill his promise, right?

But when Kendra made her claim, Magnus, who had remained silent since she entered, finally turned his cold gaze towards her, “We haven’t even verified the authenticity of what you have. Are you in such a hurry to discuss terms?”

He recalled telling her that if she showed sincerity, he would consider not divorcing her. It was merely a consideration, a delaying tactic Kendra really thought that she could keep the title of Mrs. Magnus forever, how naive!

Kendra was unaware of Magnus thoughts She felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze Feeling guilty, Kendra hurriedly took out a tape recorder from her bag and nervously placed it on Magnus desk She looked at Magnus pitifully “Everything you need is here i tricked Lucius into spilling everything when he was drunk.”

“All you need to do is publicize this and Lucius will have no place in the Andersen Corporation God knew how much she had to tolerate and appease Lucius to prove her sincenity The recordings were made when Lucius was spilling his plans and deeds post intimacy She could only claim that Lucius had spoken those words while drunk, but now, she didn’t want to appease the worthless Lucius anymore Just listening to Kendra’s words, Magnus instinctively squinted his eyes. This woman was a real piece of work, did she really think he had no idea how she came across this information? And did she really think he needed her to instruct him on how to deal with Lucius?

He took the voice recorder from her. A cold light was flickering in his eyes “Well, well he chuckled “Imagine Lucius face when he finds out. The woman who’s loved him for all these years, in her desperate attempts to stay by my side has been scheming against him. I can hardly wait to see his expression when he loses control”

With that thought. Magnus didn’t hesitate, he pressed the play button on the recorder Listening to Lucius lust–filled voice, brazenly recounting his dark past and his future plans against Magnus, Magnus couldn’t help but smile. Lucius even let out a low growl towards the endi Standing at the peak of her fear, Kendra felt a shudder run through her. She was certain she had covered her tracks well, so why did everything still sound so clear? Her face suddenly turned pale…
