The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 130

Lexi caught the flicker of loneliness in her eyes and remembered something important. She dialed Magnus' number.

"Mr. Andersen. Natalia seems to really want to see you. Maybe it's time for you to make an appearance." Lexi was eager to share this good news with Magnus.

Magnus, who had been waiting for this call, quickly hopped into his car and drove off to see Natalia. He didn't want to waste a single second. In fact, he had been watching her from outside her hospital room every day, only leaving when he saw that she was happy.

He had been busy with work and dealing with Lucius' affairs. Plus, the shock of him suddenly standing up from his wheelchair had caught everyone off guard, especially Morgan, who nearly fainted from joy when he found out his legs were healed.

He wasn't sure how fast he was driving, only that he made the long journey in just ten minutes.

"Natalia. Look who's here!" Behind Lexi appeared a familiar figure Natalia had been longing to see.

Yes, it was Magnus. He had finally arrived.

Natalia was both happy and angry. He hadn't visited her for such a long time. She turned to leave, but Magnus quickly grabbed her arm.

"Sweetheart, are you still mad at me? You still won't forgive me after all this time?" He gently pulled her into his embrace, "Nat, I've missed you. I've missed you every single day. Don't you miss me?" The Magnus before her was displaying a level of tenderness and patience she had never seen before.

He watched her, her long eyelashes trembling like a feather, stirring his heart. He felt a warmth bubble up within him. Damn, he wanted her. He had to resist the urge to kiss her.

Natalia was moved. She slowly looked up at Magnus, noticing his thin and haggard appearance. His stubble was visible. She felt a pang in her heart. How could he not take care of himself?

Natalia was touched, but she couldn't get past his deception. She didn't understand why Magnus had kept his recovery a secret. "Magnus, we both need some time to cool down and think about whether we truly belong together." She wanted him to give her an explanation.

"My love, what are you saying..."

Natalia didn't respond, gently pushing him away and returning to her room.

Magnus stood there, his heart breaking as though something had crumbled within him. He had deceived her for so long, but it wasn't intentional. He was just afraid of losing her.

"Natalia, are you really not going to make up with him? He's been so good to you." Lexi asked, her innocent eyes widened.

"Lexi, some things aren't as simple as you think. I don't think he loves me." Natalia replied, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Not love you? How could he not love you? When you were sick, he stood by your bedside without eating or moving. He even avoided you for a few days because he was afraid you'd be angry with him. But he was always watching you from afar. He specifically asked me to tell him when you were feeling better. And look, as soon as I told him, he rushed over here. You should know he's the CEO of Andersen Corporation. And it's such a long way from here, he must care a lot about you." Lexi rambled on.

After hearing Lexi's words, Natalia fell into deep thought. "I... It’s not that I don't not forgive him. It's just that I've been massaging him like a fool for so long, and his legs were actually fine. I just get angry thinking about it."

"Natalia. Don't be angry anymore. Let's go learn to drive tomorrow. My dad said that once I learn to drive, he'll buy me that cool sports car I've been eyeing for a long time." Lexi blurted out, tugging at her skirt.

"Me? No, thanks. I'm not really interested in driving." Natalia replied.

"Oh right, of course, you don't need to. You can just order your CEO around. He'll be your personal chauffeur. I can't do that. Well, I want to go learn to drive. Then I can take you for a ride."

"Let's go." Before Lexi could finish, Natalia suddenly changed her mind.
