The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 234

But the doctor had said the child didn't make it, hadn't he? If not for his words, why would Natalia have

driven her car into the sea in despair?

“Mommy, Daddy said you went to a faraway place and that you’d come to visit me in my dreams, but

every time I slept, you don't come. Don't you love me, Mommy?” Little Jonas asked Natalia with a

serious expression on his face.

A shock rippled through Natalia's heart as she struggled to absorb the reality that she had a son. My

God, her baby was alive! The child she thought was lost forever was still with her!

Unable to contain herself, Natalia pulled Jonas into a tight embrace. Tears flowed freely from her eyes

as she stammered, “Yes, you are Mommy’s precious baby, the one Mommy loves the most. Even when

I’m not by your side, I think about you every moment. I’m so sorry, sweetheart, for not being there for

you. I’m so sorry…” Overwhelmed with emotion, Natalia couldn't find the words to express herself

anymore.

“It’s okay, Mommy. I forgive you. Don't cry.” Jonas was still a child and was delighted to hear Natalia's

words. With his chubby little hands, he wiped away Natalia's tears. “Daddy was right all along. As long

as I’m a good boy, I’d reunite with Mommy one day.”

Just then, Magnus walked into the room. As he looked at Natalia embracing their son, guilt washed

over him. “My dear, I’m sorry,” he whispered. He was sorry for all the pain she had gone through, the

hurt he had caused her, and for keeping her from her son at birth. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Holding Jonas in her arms, Natalia slowly looked up at Magnus. Her face was stained with tears, and

her gaze was icy. “Don’t you think I deserve an explanation?”

Magnus lowered his head, and his hand lightly rested on her trembling shoulder. “My dear, I’ll explain.”

He took Jonas from her, put an arm around her waist, and led her to sit on the bed. “This is our son.

We both thought he didn’t make it into this world, but it turns out my grandfather hid him from us. It

wasn’t until I was searching for you and broke both my legs that he revealed Jonas to encourage me to

try and live.”

Did Morgan hide their son? Natalia was aghast. She always knew Morgan disliked her, but she never

thought he'd go to such lengths to keep her son away from her. It was despicable!

Holding Jonas, Natalia wept uncontrollably. “How could he do that? He knew how much I loved our

son. How could he do such a thing? Isn’t he a parent himself? How could he…”

Watching Natalia’s tears, Magnus felt a pang of guilt. He reached out to comfort her, but she pulled

away. “My dear, all the suffering and pain you've gone through is my fault. I swear I won't let you get

hurt anymore. I'll make amends for the rest of my life!”

Natalia cried silently, holding Jonas close and pushing Magnus away. “No, I can't trust anything you say

anymore because you never follow through! If you have any conscience left, give my son back to me.

He is my life. I was ready to die when I thought I'd lost him!”

Jonas, cradled in Natalia's arms, watched everything with his wide, innocent eyes. However, he

comforted Natalia by wiping her tears and assuring her, “Don't cry, Mommy. I won't leave you.”

Seeing how understanding her young son was, Natalia cried even harder. She had thought her actions

had prevented her son from coming into this world. But in the end, it was all Morgan’s ploy to drive her

away! How could he be so cold-hearted? How could he keep a mother and son apart for so long?

Five years, countless days, and nights had resulted in the mother and son being separated, never

having met face-to-face. How much time would it take to make up for the lost five years?

How could Morgan do such a heartless thing?

Facing Natalia's tearful accusations, Magnus knew he had wronged her. His wife was so strong and

beautiful, but because of him, she had been hurt again and again. He was indeed a terrible husband.

“My dear, it's all my fault. Everything is my fault. Can we forget all the unpleasantness and start over?”

Magnus sincerely hoped their son's appearance could reignite Natalia's lost hope.

However, Natalia shook her head. “It's too late. We can't go back to the past. Even with Jonas, I can't

stay with you anymore.”

“Why? My dear, we can start over!” Magnus pleaded, refusing to give up. In exchange for Natalia’s

love, he was willing to give everything, even his life, without a moment's hesitation.

Holding Jonas, Natalia sat on the edge of the bed and spoke earnestly, “Thank you for raising our son

so well. But gratitude and love are different. I thank you, but I can't accept you anymore. I hope you

understand. No matter what you do, we can't go back.”

Magnus refused to accept her decision. “No, I won't accept this! My dear, you can't leave. Since you're

back, can't we be a family again? These last five years, I thought you were long gone. I lived a

torturous life. Only Jonas gave me the strength to carry on because I wanted him to be happy!”

Natalia sighed in frustration. Magnus was known for his decisive nature, but now, he was acting like a

child who was denied his favorite candy. His words stung Natalia's heart. She didn't know what to say.

"Magnus, a lot can change in five years. I won't deny that I had feelings for you back then, but given

everything we've been through, you should know that even the most passionate love can turn cold."

As she spoke, Natalia gently ran her fingers through Jonas' hair, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I

thought I'd never have a child after the accident. The nightmares still make me shiver in the dead of

night. I'm thankful to God for letting my precious boy survive."

Magnus stiffened at Natalia's words. "What do you mean, 'thank God?' I raised Jonas single-handedly. I

admit, I neglected you in the past and caused you immense pain, but I swear to God, I will make it up

to you. As for the two women who continuously plotted against you, I've made sure they paid for it. I..."
