Chapter 14
The Imposter Bride
Natalia suddenly looked up, noticing the sudden change in Magnusâ demeanor She quickly walked over to him âNo, I just havenât helped you put on clothes before Iâm not sure how to do it! Iâve never looked down on you for being handicapped No, thatâs not it. Even though your legs arenât functioning well, I believe that one day youâll definitely be able to stand up again Natalia nervously looked at Magnusâ face, afraid he would lose his temper again She walked over and gently helped him out of his bathrobe. quickly dressing him in a shirt. Her heart was pounding She didnât dare to meet his eyes The man stared at her as she clumsily helped him get dressed. He didnât move and was simply watching her Once his shirt was on, she needed to remove his bathrobe to help him into his shorts Natalia realized he was wearing nothing underneath. Oh, God, what was she supposed to do! Who was going to come to her rescue?
He couldnât possibly expect her to help him put on his underwear As she pulled down his bathrobe, her hand accidentally brushed against something it shouldnât have Boom! Her mind felt like it was about to explode. She quickly withdrew her hand But then she noticed something move beneath the bathrobe Magnus looked up at her âWhere did you touch?â His voice was a low grow!
âIâm sorry. Mr Magnus, why donât you dress yourself? Iâll go prepare breakfast Saying this, she quickly ran out of the room, as if a wild animal was chasing her Magnus frowned, watching her run out and close the door behind her. He stood up, removed his bathrobe, got dressed, and moved to the balcony with a smirk on his face By the time Natalia had finished preparing breakfast, Magnus had already come out of the elevator. He wheeled himself to the dining table His clothes were neat and clean, giving him an elegant and noble appearance. Natalia looked at his formal attire. âAre you going out?â
Magnus nodded âYouâre coming with me.â
âMe?â Natalia was taken aback. Where was he taking her? If they were going to the Anderson family, would she be recognized as a fraud?
âWho else? Youâve been on the island for a week now, and itâs time we went to visit my grandfather. Eat up and get readyâ
After he finished speaking, Magnus began eating his breakfast. Natalia stared at him blankly. His handsome face showed no warmth. It was chilling He was taking her to meet his grandfather. Although she had never met the old man, she had heard about the Andersen family. His grandfather wielded enormous power as the founder of Andersen Corporation. Everyone in the Andersen family feared him. Even though the corporation was now managed by Lucius, who was merely a manager, the position of CEO was still undecided.
Morgan had said that he would only announce his successor on his deathbed. Therefore, Lucius had been extremely cautious all these years. Even if he lost the woman he loved, he had to endure it in front of Morgan.
âMr Magnus, I think Iâll stay in the villa and read Iâll learn more massage techniques to help with your rehabilitation. It will be beneficial for you to stand up sooner She didnât want to meet the king of Andersen Corporation Magnus looked at her. âAre you scared?â
âNo, Iâm not scared. I should visit your grandfather, but he must be very busy. I might be a burden to him.â She absolutely couldnât go. Perhaps Morgan knew her sister. If he found out she wasnât her sister, would he kill her father?
Her heart pounded Now was not the time to meet Morgan. She would try to delay it as long as possible.
Seeing her reluctance to go out with him, Magnusâ face darkened. She was probably afraid of meeting Lucius. It would be very awkward. âAlright then, if you donât want to go, stay at homeâ Saying this, Magnus wheeled himself out of the living room Linden had already prepared the car on the beach. Magnus slowly lifted himself up and was helped into the back seat by Linden.
Natalia watched him leave before heading back to the dining room to have breakfast. She spent the entire day in the villa reading. Except for meal times, she hardly left her room Luxury Hill was a residential area located in the southwestern corner of Melfort. Those who lived here were either rich or influential A RollsâRoyce Phantom slowly drove into the quiet residential area. This was a large villa that spanned about a thousand meters and consisted of four floors. A large lawn housed more than a dozen luxury cars. The gold gate shone dazzlingly under the sun, with two lines of servants standing neatly at the entrance.
As soon as the car stopped, a servant pushed out a wheelchair and respectfully walked over âMr.
Magnus, he has been waiting for you for some timeâ
Magnus lightly pushed himself up with his hands and, with Lindenâs help, sat in the wheelchair, rolling towards the gate.
Morgan was seated at the top of the living room, with Anthony and Lillian by his side. Lastly, Lucius was lazily leaning on the couch. His legs were spread apart, as he arrogantly watched the wheelchair coming through the door âCome here, my son. Whereâs your wife? Why didnât she come with you?â Morgan beckoned Magnus with a smile Linden pushed Magnus wheelchair next to Morgan. Magnus looked up at the old man. âGrandfather, Kendra is studying massage techniques for my legs on Sapphire Island, so she didnât come.â
He turned to the three people beside him âDad, Mom, Lucius.*
Anthony nodded. âYou should have brought her to meet your grandfather Itâs a sign of respect for the eldersâ
Lillian glanced at Magnus. âDid you lock Kendra in the villa and not let her out? Lillian had never liked Magnus. She looked at her son sarcastically Lucius hands tightened slightly, as he looked straight at Magnus. His resentful eyes looked as if he wanted to kill Magnus âMy dear mother, Kendra is now my wife I adore her Why would I lock her up? She said she was tired and didnât want to go out, so I let her stay in the villa Magnus words were meant for his mother, but he was smiling at Lucius âLucius, I canât thank you enough for giving me such a gem of a wife. Sheâs been learning massage techniques every day, saying she wants to get me ur and about Magnus chuckled softly, and his eyes were brimming with adoration âWell, Magnus, you better keep that gem of a wife of yours happy and not scare her off within six months Lucius eyed his cheerful demeanor and yearned to wipe the smirk off his face. He abruptly stood up, intending to approach Magnus âAlright, letâs start dinner since Kendra isnât here yet Before Lucius could reach Magnus, a cold and deep voice interrupted him Lucius clenched his fists, as a cruel glint showed in his eyes During the meal, Morgan had Linden serve Magnus, constantly conversing with him and treating the other three as if they were invisible After dinner, Morgan turned to Magnus âSon, I apologize for the lackluster wedding We didnât give you a proper ceremony I plan to gather both our families on Thanksgiving, so we can properly acknowledge Kendraâs place in our family Iâm getting old and Iâm counting on you and your brother to take the reins.â
