The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 240

Jonas moved close to Natalia, planting a sweet kiss on her cheek. “Mom, I am no longer a little kid, I

can see that you don’t really like Dad. But my teacher said that children are the product of their parents’

love, does that mean you didn’t want to have me? Did I cause you trouble, Mommy?”

Hearing these soft, childish words, Natalia's eyes filled with tears. Her precious baby boy was

cautiously asking if he had caused her any trouble.

She pulled Jonas into a tight hug, speaking with utmost sincerity, “Jonas, you are my most beloved

treasure. I’ve never thought of you as a burden. Instead, you’ve been my strongest emotional support

during my most difficult times. The issues between your father and me are not because of you, do you

understand?”

Jonas rubbed his eyes, sleepily replying, “Really? That's good, then. Mommy, can you stay here? Can

you stay and watch me grow up? All the other kids have mommies, and I want one too. The breakfast

you make is so delicious; it tastes just like love, and I like it so much, I wish I could have it every day.”

Natalia's eyes welled up with tears once more. She owed her child so much.

“Jonas, you are my treasure. It was wrong of me not to be there for you as you grew up. But darling,

not everything in life goes as we wish. I…” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Natalia stopped mid-sentence, noticing that Jonas had already fallen asleep. She tucked him in and

followed him into slumber.

Outside, the moonlight was pouring into the room, scattering like silver dust.

After a while, Natalia and Jonas were deep in sleep. The bedroom door was gently pushed open, and

Magnus tiptoed in. In the moonlight, he quietly approached the bed, looking at his sleeping wife and

son. He lay down next to Natalia with a satisfied smile on his face.

Seeing his wife and son lying by his side filled Magnus with a sense of contentment.

Of course, when Natalia fully accepted him, he would be even happier. He would then be the happiest

man in the world, without a doubt!

As the moonlight waned, the sun began to rise. Natalia was awakened by the sunlight streaming into

the room. She opened her eyes to Magnus’ handsome, smiling face.

“Good morning, my dearest wife.” Magnus was beaming. He affectionately kissed Natalia's forehead.

As Magnus' lips touched Natalia's forehead, he trembled slightly. Natalia, too, shivered at his touch.

Without thinking, Natalia tried to move back, forgetting she was on the bed, and almost fell off.

Fortunately, with his quick reflexes, Magnus caught her in time, preventing her from falling.

“Darling, I wouldn’t want you to get any bruises. That would break my heart.” Magnus' voice was

seductive, making Natalia weak in the knees.

Taking advantage of Natalia's distraction, Magnus, adhering to his policy of taking advantage when

opportunity struck, planted another kiss on her forehead. His surprise attack was successful, and

Magnus felt as if he had just had a spoonful of sweet honey!

Before Natalia could confront Magnus about his stolen kisses, Jonas woke up, stretching and yawning.

Jonas woke up to see Natalia and Magnus next to him, and his joy knew no bounds. He jumped up

from the bed. “Awesome! I finally get to sleep with Mommy and Daddy!”

Watching Jonas' excitement, Natalia's heart ached. Children sleeping with their parents was such a

simple pleasure, yet Jonas had not only been denied this joy but was also so thrilled about it. It was

heartbreaking.

Jonas, lost in his happiness, was dancing on the bed, repeating his joy, “Oh, this is wonderful, I finally

get to sleep with Mommy and Daddy!”

After bouncing around, he finally lay down, hugging Natalia. “Mommy, can we wake up together like

this every day? I feel so happy!”

Seeing Jonas' joy, Natalia managed to smile but remained silent. She was searching for the right

words, not knowing how to gently refuse Jonas' request.

Magnus saw Natalia's struggle and pulled her and Jonas into his arms, sincerely saying, “Darling, let's

start over, together with Jonas. I swear, I will make you both happy.”

Natalia looked out at the sunlight, her mind a whirl of confusion. She was indeed happy to have her son

back, but the idea of starting over with Magnus seemed so unreal. She had promised Cal when she left

England that she would return, but now, she was being held back by her own son. For a moment, she

even found Magnus' vision of the future appealing.

Oh God, how could she? How could she be so fickle? If she decided to stay, how would she face Cal,

who was waiting for her back in England?

The sunlight outside was perfect, streaming in through the window, and casting a warm glow on

Magnus and Jonas. It was a picture of love and warmth. But to Natalia, it all felt like a dream, almost

otherworldly.

This wasn’t the life she wanted, truly.

Magnus noticed Natalia remained silent, and knew he couldn’t rush things, he had to take it slow. He

sighed quietly to himself, continuing, “Darling, I have to make a trip to Melfort in the next few days.

Please take care of yourself while I’m gone. If anything happens, call me right away. I’ll fly back

immediately.”

Natalia gave a nonchalant nod at Magnus, fully aware of his bustling schedule, and chose to remain

silent.

To be frank, she'd rather have him back in Melfort taking care of business than hovering around her

every second of the day, giving her some much-needed space to breathe and think. Magnus' fervor

was blazing, leaving her at a loss for how to react, and she found herself constantly dodging him.

After finishing their breakfast, Magnus hurriedly left their residence in France.

As he was leaving, he made a special point to instruct the staff of the villa to heed Natalia’s every word.

Any insubordination wouldn't just result in termination - he made that much clear.
