Chapter 252

She stood up from the sofa, moving to a position further away from Magnus, fearing she might be swayed by his charm again.

As Natalia quietly took her juice to a more distant location, Magnus unleashed his superpower of being irresistibly charming and moved closer to her with a cunning smile on his face “Honey, shall we get going?”

“Go where?” Natalia was puzzled. Didn’t they just return to his place yesterday? The sofa was barely warm again. Why were they leaving so soon?

Natalia set down her drink, and Magnus looked at her with affection “My love, can we return to Melfort?

After all, this isn’t our home. Plus, you can occasionally visit your mother’s grave back there”

Magnus words struck a chord in Natalia’s heart. Yes, home in whem the heart is, and this place would never be home for her “But, Cal’s health hasn’t improved yet, I’m worned if I leave abruptly.

Natalia’s words were cut off by Magnus slender finger ‘Shh Stop calling him that name, it makes me jealous Darling. I know your feelings for him are just like a sibling’s love, but can you guarantee that Callum doesn’t have other intentions? It’s better to reject him dimctly than let him live in an illusion. It won’t hurt him to start a new life.”

“But I’m afraid he can’t handle it, Magnus. You know how well he has treated me all these years. He’s been my only support How can I be so cruel to him? Natalia lowered. her head feeling upset She was well aware of Callum’s devotion, but to directly reject him was something she couldn’t do. She was terrified of seeing the disappointment in Callum’s eyes “Darling I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you all these years. Trust me, I’ll love you more than Callum ever could and I’ll be your only support! Also, being a man myself, no one understands men better than I do.

The more you don’t reject him, the more he thinks there’s a chance. It will only make him more obsessed with you Let him go, let him start his life anew And you, are destined to be mine for life!”

Magnus gazed deeply into Natalia’s eyes. His warm hand gently caressed her cheek. His deep–set eyes reflected only love and affection Magnus words was like a punch to Natalia’s gut. Yes, she was always worried that Cal couldn’t handle it. She gave him hope only to disappoint him again!

Was she really doing the right thing by dragging this out?

Watching Natalia lower her head, Magnus couldn’t bring himself to utter a single word of guilt. He gently embraced Natalia. “Honey, go clarify things with him. Let him let goi of his hopes and start a new life sooner Shall we leave tomorrow?”

Natalia’s mind was full of thoughts about how to clarify things with Callum, she didn’t notice that she was already in Magnus arms. By the time she realized Magnus had sneakily pulled her onto his lap, giving her a passionate kiss.

Feeling the heat from Magnus thigh and his undeniable hardness, Natalia’s face turned beet red. She pushed away and squeaked, “You put me down!” Jonas was still there! As she spoke, she looked towards Jonas, only to find him covering his eyes with his small hands, peeking through the gaps and grinning. I didn’t see anything!” He then darted into the room and closed the door.

Natalia’s face turned even more crimson. She immediately pushed Magnus away “Honey you know, every time I’m close to you, I can’t control myself Magnus didn’t seem embarrassed at all. His voice was husky and sexy. I’m thinking about doing it again What should I do? His masculine scent filled Natalia’s nostrils Natalia was speechless. Was this really the cold and calculating Magnus she knew? Oh, she remembered he was indeed this cheeky, always making her blush with his smooth talk “Magnus, I need to see Cal to see if he’s feeling better and to clarify things. Then I’ll go with you Natalia hesitated for a moment before agreeing to return with Magnus. Because Jonas would go back to school there, and she didn’t want to leave Jonas.

Magnus was overjoyed “Good, but before we return to Melfort, let’s go to France. I don’t want you to face a bunch of old acquaintances as soon as you retum. You need to spend some time with me first, to make up for all the years of longing‘

Hearing Magnus childlike words, Natalia managed a helpless smile She never had any solution for Magnus persistent charm.

Natalia and Magnus were having a lovey–dovey conversation at their apartment, oblivious to the fact that Lex was being held captive by Callum in the mansion.

At that moment. Lex had been taking a long bath in her confined room, hopelessly soaking in the water, and trying to wash herself clean The cold water had wrinkled the skin on her hands, but she refused to get out She felt utterly tainted Not just her body but her soul too And she was powerless to resist, helplessly imprisoned in this place that seemed glamorous but was a living hell. Other than silent sobbing Lexi didn’t know what else she could do Suddenly, she heard footsteps outside the door. Lexi quickly got out of the bath, hastily wrapped herself in a bathrobe, and quietly stood by the door The door creaked open slightly, and a man’s fout stepped in Len knew that it must have been the jerk who had hurt her Without a second thought, she grabbed a brass flower vase by her side and smashed it towards.
