The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 113

Kyler and Addison noticed that Kendra, who had been gloomy a couple of days ago, had suddenly dolled up to go out. Both of them looked at each other with grave concern. Addison rose from her seat, hailing Kendra who was already by the door. "Kendra, where are you going? Let your dad take you!"

The last time, Lucius had raped Kendra. She insisted on getting her revenge and brushing off Addison's attempts to stop her. This was a feud she wanted to settle herself.

But in the following days, Addison couldn't help but tremble at Kendra's words. Even though Lucius wasn't the CEO of the Andersen Corporation anymore, he was still the second son of the Andersen family and the vice-president of the company. His status in this city was not something an average person could mess with. Even if their entire Clarkson family wanted to deal with Lucius, it was not an easy task.

Moreover, they knew their daughter well. Her sudden declaration to confront Lucius herself hinted at some hidden agenda.

"No need, I'll have the chauffeur take me," Kendra responded impatiently to Addison's concern. She was pressed for time and didn't have the luxury to explain to anyone unrelated.

"But…" Even though Addison could see Kendra was annoyed, she still worried about what could happen if Kendra went out.

Before she could finish her sentence though, Kendra who was standing by the door yanked it open. With a highly exasperated look and a furrowed brow, she said to Addison, "Mom, can you just stop bothering me? I'm not a child anymore. I know what I should and shouldn't do."

"Please stop worrying about me. Let me have some freedom!"

With that said, an impatient Kendra stepped out and slammed the door shut behind her.

With the loud bang of the door shutting, all Addison could see was the door in front of her closed and her furious daughter had left.

She was flabbergasted, grumbling under her breath. "What's gotten into that girl? She's been sulking at home for so long, and now she's all fired up. I don't know where she gets her temper from."

Sitting on the couch, Kyler didn't appreciate Kendra's outburst. It reminded him of how well-behaved and sensible Natalia used to be at home. Thinking back to what Natalia said the day he had to rescue Kendra from Maplewood Manor, Kyler felt a pang in his heart. He knew he had gone too far that day, hurting Natalia. It seemed he needed to find the right time to apologize to his daughter at Maplewood Manor.

He had raised her, after all, and there was no such thing as overnight hatred between father and daughter. Given Natalia's personality, she wouldn't hold a grudge.

However, witnessing Kendra storm out and Kyler reacting as if he wasn't concerned made Addison enraged. "Kyler, didn't you see your daughter storm out? Don't you care if something happens to her?"

"Do you only care about your illegitimate daughter? Do you see your wife and daughter, as invisible?"

Ever since Kyler brought Natalia back to the Clarkson family over a decade ago, this had become Addison's regular outburst.
