The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 109

The door to her room was flung open abruptly. Then, the sound of wheelchair wheels echoed through the room.

The minute she heard it, Natalia instinctively knew it was Magnus. She instantly felt flustered, and hurriedly tried to gather her composure. However, her eyes were red, and her tear-streaked face was impossible to hide.

"My lady's been crying?" Magnus had already heard from the staff when he returned. Kyler had come to Maplewood Manor concerning Kendra, causing a big scene, and leaving Natalia upset.

Magnus had suspected something was wrong when Natalia called him earlier. So he hurried back, not wanting to see Natalia upset over such a trivial matter.

"You already know?" Natalia asked, her reddened eyes looking at him.

She had hoped to keep this incident from Magnus, because his injuries hadn't healed, and she didn't want him to get upset over the Clarkson family's affairs. But he knew anyway because she had called to ask about Kendra.

On second thought, it made sense. This was Maplewood Manor. Everyone here was under Magnus' command. Nothing that happened here could be kept from him.

Seeing Natalia's downtrodden look, Magnus felt a pang in his heart he had never felt before. He wheeled himself over to her side, pulling her into his arms. "Don't let their heartless actions bother you. Haven't I already told the staff not to let any of the Clarksons into Maplewood Manor?" He said softly. "They let Kyler in. I'll deal with them."

Hurting his woman was unforgivable.

And wasn’t Kyler, Natalia's father, ashamed of his heartless actions?

Natalia immediately looked up at him. She stared at him seriously and said, "Magnus, don't punish the staff. They asked me before they let my father in. It's not their fault. Don't punish them for this, please."

How could the staff be blamed for letting Kyler in? Even if Kyler had just called her, she would have agreed to meet him. Especially when Kyler went all the way to Maplewood Manor, she couldn't possibly refuse to see him.

"Your heart is too kind. But do you see anyone else caring whether you're upset or not?" Magnus couldn't help but soften, hugging her closer.

He didn't say anything, but he was thinking, “Kyler, that heartless man, deserved no mercy for what he had done today.”

Natalia, who was held tightly in his arms, seemed to have heard his thoughts. She looked up at him again, saying earnestly, "And please, don't do anything to my father. I understand why he favors Kendra, and I won't hold their ignorance against them. He has raised me, and I don't want him to suffer because of me."
