The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 116

And so she sat on Magnus' lap, and her eyes were wide with curiosity as she questioned him. But in her mind, she was thinking, "Is the cute person he mentioned the girl in the portrait that he secretly keeps in his study?"

However, at Natalia's question, Magnus' smile only broadened. He extended his slender finger and lightly tapped her on the nose. Then he chuckled indulgently, "Of course, it's you, my lady."

In this world, no one could be more adorable than his wife.

Natalia's cheeks flushed at his touch, trying to suppress her smile. She laughed. "What's so cute about me? Don't you always say I'm a bit clueless?"

She couldn't understand why Magnus was always so cold and aloof in front of others but was completely different around her. She didn't know that Magnus had already cherished her as a treasure in his heart. Only in front of their beloved would a man reveal such tenderness.

"You're indeed a little clueless, which is exactly what I adore about you," he whispered in her ear. "It's so much fun to tease you; you actually enjoy my teasing, don't you?" Magnus was absolutely smitten by Natalia's shy demeanor.

So he held her waist tightly and bent down to kiss her. To him, Natalia was like a sweet dessert that was addictive, and made him crave for more. Every time he saw her, he felt the urge to take her to bed.

However, Natalia was helpless against Magnus' advances and could only lean back to avoid his onslaught. With a hint of despair, she said, "Magnus, can you please stop? Haven’t you teased me enough? I'm not a masochist, so why would I enjoy being teased by you?"

"Of course you enjoy it! Teasing you is my way of showing you my love and only I am allowed to tease you! My baby!" He said, and immediately sealed her lips with a deep, passionate kiss.

Magnus knew that his relentless advances would probably annoy Natalia, but he couldn't help himself. After a long, passionate kiss, he finally released her. He gazed at Natalia with gentle eyes. "I've had the villa completely renovated. If you like, we can move there once everything is sorted out."

The villa was his gift to Natalia, their home. Despite the misfortunes that had occurred there, Magnus knew Natalia still loved the place because it was her "home."

"Hmm..." As expected, Natalia didn't refuse when Magnus suggested the idea. She simply nodded obediently and rested her head sweetly against Magnus' chest.

Being with Magnus made her happy, no matter where they lived. He promised to give her a home and she believed him.

With only half a day left till the deadline Magnus had set for Kendra, Magnus was not in a hurry to call her, but calmly handled his official duties in his office. He already had enough leverage to deal with Lucius and Kendra. Even if Kendra failed to deliver what he wanted, Magnus could easily deal with his brother.

Just as Magnus was thinking about this, there was a knock on his office door. Paul stood at the door, respectfully announcing, "Sir, Ms. Clarkson is here."

"Oh, is she? Let her in." Hearing Paul's words, Magnus simply smiled and signaled his assistant to bring Kendra in.

After the last time when he lost his temper and hurt Kendra, she seemed to have learned her lesson. She entered Magnus' office with her head bowed in humility. If Magnus was not familiar with her true nature, he might have been deceived by her demeanor.
