Chapter 95

Addison was at her wit’s end. It seemed that Kendra would no longer listen to her.

Feeling helpless, she offered a few words of comfort before leaving the hospital.

She thought of asking Kyler to talk to Natalia once again. Maybe Natalia would listen to her father.

There might still be a chance to turn things around.

She dialed Kyler’s number and explained her thoughts.

On the other end of the line, Kyler closed his eyes and sighed wearily.

“Why are you grinning at me like that all day?”

When Magnus was looking at the documents, he also called Natalia into the study.

He had her sit on the couch, sharing the same space with him for the entire afternoon.

But she could feel the gaze of the handsome man across the desk, watching her and constantly smiling.

Puzzled, Natalia finally raised her head and asked him.

Magnus chuckled softly.

He put down the file in his hand and waved her over, “Come here, my dear.”

“Okay,” Natalia was used to his tender way of calling her with all sorts of nicknames.

Even though she was blushing, she obediently walked over.

As soon as Natalia approached Magnus, he reached out and pulled her onto his lap.

“Wait, your wound hasn’t healed yet. What if it tears?” Fearing for his injury, Natalia blushed and whispered.

Truth be told, she had missed his embrace since he had been hugging her so often before his injury.

But now, she had to hold back since he was still recovering.

After his injury, Natalia had been taking care of him cautiously, afraid that any carelessness would tear his wound. This had kept her away from him for quite some time, and Magnus had been restraining himself.

Now, seeing Natalia so close and enchanting, Magnus couldn’t help but have some improper thoughts.

He didn’t care about the injuries and just embraced her petite body, resting his forehead against hers.

Then, he softly said, “My wound is fine now, but there’s another part of me that’s aching.”

“Aching?” Upon hearing his words, Natalia thought he had injured somewhere else.

She anxiously asked, “Where does it hurt? Tell me quickly. If not, I’ll get a doctor®

After all, Magnus had been injured while trying to save her.

If Magnus was uncomfortable, it was her duty to take good care of him.

Before Natalia could finish, Magnus placed his slender finger on her lips, then he led her hand to touch the part of him that was uncomfortably swollen.

However, as soon as Natalia realized what she was touching, she jumped off his lap, her face burning, and stuttered, “You… you… are getting out of line!”

“Why, my dear,” he chuckled at her embarrassment, “It’s quite normal for a husband to be ‘out of line‘

with his wife. Or would you rather I act this way with other women?”

He was a man of integrity.

He had absolutely no interest in any women who threw themselves at him.

Only this beautiful girl before him could make him lose control.

“You.” Hearing Magnus‘ words, Natalia, who had wanted to rebuke him, was left speechless After a while, she managed to blush out a stern reply, “Don’t even think about it. Not until you’ve fully recovered Fearing that Magnus would act out, Natalia hastily left his study with her medical book in hand.

Magnus was left alone in the study, so he had no choice but to focus on his work. His efficiency was unparalleled Since it reduced the amount of time he spent discreetly observing Natalia absorbed in her reading, his work efficiency automatically improved.

By the time Magnus finished his work and went downstairs, it was already late The servants had prepared a sumptuous dinner and set it on the dining table Natalia was sitting quietly waiting for him.

Thinking about the adorable blush on Natalia’s face in the study earlier, Magnus couldn’t help but chuckle, he sat down at the table and tregan to eat with Natalia.

Natalia didn’t dare to start a conversation with him. Fearing that he would bring up the earlier incident, she kept her heat down and ate her food quietly.

She began to suspect that this striking man with a constant smide on tus face was not real in the past he had been as cold as ice, and she had never seen him smile even a bit. Now, he seemed very happy She looked up just in time to see him etdi smiling you grinning about? What’s so funny?” she thought She didn’t want to deal with him or talk to him. Natalia managed to finish her meal while holding back her curiousity.

Then she put down her fork, stood up, and prepared to escape back to her room.

But before she could take two steps, her wrist was firmly grasped, and she was stopped in her tracks.

“Where are you going?” Seeing Natalia trying to run away, Magnus, who was sitting in his wheelchair, put down his chopsticks and looked up at her.

This young lady had been avoiding him all afternoon, and now she wanted to escape again? Not so easy.

Caught by Magnus, Natalia, feeling guilty, dared not look at him.

She said in a low voice, “Of course, I am going back to my room. I… I still have a book to read.”

“You’ve been reading all afternoon, no more.” Magnus interrupted her domineeringly after hearing Natalia’s words.

Then he added, “Go to the room, freshen up and wait for me.”

He hadn’t laid a finger on her for such a long time, and he couldn’t wait anymore Magnus was being too explicit, making Natalia so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

The servants around them chuckled after hearing Magnus‘ words. Natalia blushed and defiantly said, “I won’t…”

Having said that, she boldly broke free from Magnus grip and ran off.

When she reached the elevator, she turned back and said to Magnus, “Let Linden take care of you tonight. I’ll sleep in the guestroom.”
