Chapter 39
The Imposter Bride
By the time he returned to the villa, dawn was just breaking. Linden saw Magnus walk in and immediately stood up, âWould you like something to eat?â
Heâd been awake all night and was fatigued, but he wasnât in the mood for food. âLet Dr. Frankie know that my wife and I will be there for a leg checkup at nine. Make sure he remembers what to say to her. Donât forget to clarify that to him.â
âYes, Mr. Magnus.â
Magnus walked into the bedroom and saw the girl sound asleep on the bed. He undressed and climbed into bed, pulling her into his embrace before drifting off to sleep.
Natalia opened her eyes the next day and blushed when she saw herself sleeping in a manâs arms.
She remembered they had slept separately the previous night. Did he sneak into her bed while she was sleeping?
She smiled shyly, gently removing his large hand from her body, and then made her way towards the bathroom.
The man continued to sleep deeply, but felt uncomfortable with the softness missing from his arms. His hand reached out, grabbing at nothing. He immediately furrowed his brows, âHoneyâ¦â
His voice was hoarse.
Natalia stepped out of the bathroom and whispered in his ear, âYou keep sleeping. Iâll go make breakfast.â
The man heard her offer to make breakfast, and the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile, âOkayâ
After the man fell back asleep, Natalia got dressed and went downstairs. Linden was about to start making breakfast, but when he saw Natalia coming down, he quickly approached her, âMiss Natalia, youâre up so early Iâm about to make breakfast Natalia walked past him, âIâll make breakfast today. You go buy some fresh vegetables and fruits.â
Linden nodded, âAlright.â
Natalia made some cereal and scrambled eggs, and made sandwiches and toast. She also prepared a few side dishes She often cooked for the Clarkson family, and before college, she could do any chores the maids could do This had also made her a great cook When Linden returned with the groceries, Natalia had already finished preparing everything. She was about to go upstairs to wake Magnus for breakfast Linden saw the breakfast she had prepared and was so surprised his jaw almost dropped.
âMiss Natalia, I didnât know you could cook. Mr. Magnus will be so happy when he sees this.â âReally? I just made these things on a whim.â Natalia said with a smile.
âI didnât expect a wealthy lady like you to be able to do all this; itâs really impressive.â In his mind, Natalia was a lady who would never lift a finger to do such chores.
âHe has an appointment with Dr. Frankie at nine to check his leg. Itâs eight now, so he should. be getting up. Ms. Natalia, Iâll go wake him up.â Linden said cheerfully, preparing to go upstairs.
Natalia stepped forward, âIâll go wake him up. You can just bring the breakfast to the table.â
âAlright.â
Natalia gently pushed open the bedroom door, only to see the man still sleeping soundly How could he sleep so much? Did he not sleep last night?
She bent over to take a closer look at his sleeping face. His breath was even, his eyelashes were long, almost like a girlâs, and his lips were tightly pressed together. There were dark circles under his eyes, as if he had stayed up all night.
In his sleep, Magnus felt someone blowing on his face. A familiar, pleasant scent filled his senses. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a beautiful face very close to his. Her big, blue eyes were pure and clear.
Seeing him awake, she looked surprised. âMagnus, youâre awake? Letâs have breakfast. Youâre seeing your doctor later.â She immediately tried to stand up.
But the man grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto the bed. Natalia was startled. She tried to get up, but the man held her down and sealed her lips with a warm kiss. âMagnus um She was about to suggest they get up and have breakfast, but he sucked her lips passionately The manâs strong hormones overwhelmed the girlâs senses.
Nataliaâs heart began to race. This man always caught her off guard. But she couldnât move under his weight and had to endure his stormy kisses. After a while, the man moved away from her lips, âHoney, I havenât brushed my teeth yet. Do you mind?â His voice was hoarse.
He had been kissing her passionately for quite a while before asking if she minded. Natalia pouted, âI do mind.â
Magnus looked at her, her eyes filled with mock anger, and he leaned down to kiss her again, âYouâre not allowed to mind. Youâre my wifeâ
Didnât she even have the right to mind?
Magnus looked down at the girl beneath him, pressed against her small body. His body was already reacting strongly He pressed against her thigh, âWhat should I do? I want youâ
Nataliaâs face instantly turned red. âStop letâs have breakfast or itâll get cold. And we have to go for your leg checkup.â
He had no choice but to let her go, âAlright, letâs listen to my wife. Letâs have breakfast.â He jumped onto his wheelchair.
As Natalia got up, she accidentally caught sight of the bulge in his pants. She immediately turned her face away and fled the bedroom. Magnus looked down at his erection and sighed, wheeling himself into the bathroom.
When Magnus came downstairs and saw the breakfast spread out on the table, his eyes lit up with joy.
âDid you make all these, honey?â
âOf course.â
He took a bite of a sandwich, then picked up a fork and ate the side dishes, âItâs delicious, honey. I didnât expect you could make all these.â
âItâs nothing. Iâm glad you like it.â Natalia said proudly.
The man looked at her and smiled, revealing his white teeth.
That day, Magnus ate a lot for breakfast, only putting down his bowl after he was done. Linden watched the young master eat happily, finally feeling relieved.
After breakfast, Magnus and Natalia went to see Dr. Frankie. He was a middleâaged doctor in his forties. When he saw Magnus being pushed towards him in a wheelchair by a girl, he burst out laughing. But under Magnusâ warning gaze, he immediately stopped laughing, âHow have you been, Magnus?â
âYes, Iâm here for a checkup on my leg. I want to see when I can stand up. Magnus said calmly.
Dr. Frankie took the wheelchair from Natalia and went into the examination room with Magnus. They came out half an hour later.
Natalia immediately walked over, âDr. Frankie, how are his legs?â
Dr. Frankie smiled and said, âAs long as he keeps his spirits high and perseveres with his physiotherapy, I think heâll be able to stand up soon.â
âReally?â Natalia grasped Dr. Frankieâs arm in excitement, âSo heâll really be able to stand up soon?â
Dr. Frankie remembered that Magnus was due to join Andersen Corporation next month, and he nodded, âMrs. Andersen, donât worry. His leg is improving If heâs determined to stand up, heâll be able to do it soon.â
He smiled, staring at this pure, beautiful girl who was as refreshing as clear spring, thinking to himself, that Magnus was one lucky guy Magnus frowned as he looked at the girl who was holding onto Dr Frankieâs hand tightly âAhem, darling, letâs go Weâll do more training back home.â
âAlright Natalia pushed the wheelchair towards the hospital exit under Dr Frankieâs smiling gaze.
