Natalia stared at him, her expression icy. "Even if I were as lowly as can be, I could never share a man with another woman, Magnus. Let me go." The mere thought of those photos made her feel as though a piece of her heart had been cruelly ripped out. How could she even think about going on a honeymoon with him?
"What did you say?" Magnus looked at her in shock. "I have no feelings for Isabella. The only woman I love is you, you silly girl." He wished he could pry open her head to see what was going on inside.
He had never touched Isabella. Where did she get the idea that she was sharing him with another woman?
"Magnus, Isabella has been with you for so long, and she is your first love. The moment I saw her photos in your book, I knew you would never forget her." Natalia pushed him away forcefully.
"I'm leaving. You don't have to feel guilty. They won't have to use those disgusting methods to pressure me anymore." She pushed away from his embrace, turned around, and left the study.
Staring at her retreating figure, Magnus felt a murderous rage build up within him.
What was he guilty of? They were pressuring her? What the hell was going on?
Magnus immediately pulled out his phone and dialed Chase. "Find out immediately if Isabella has done anything to my wife." If Isabella really dared to provoke him, he would not want to remember the year she had spent with him. His bottom line was his wife. Anyone who dared to cross that line would have to be dealt with.
Magnus went downstairs and didn't find Natalia. Frustrated, he drove straight to the office.
He pulled up to the entrance, and was about to walk into the building when he bumped into someone. It was Kendra.
Annoyed at being bumped by her, Magnus brushed off his clothes intending to ignore her and move on. However, Kendra wouldn't let this opportunity to be alone with Magnus go. She dramatically sat down on the ground, pretending to be injured. "Ouch, that hurts. Magnus, you bumped into me."
Magnus stopped, looking disdainfully at Kendra pretending to be injured. Although he was unhappy with Kendra, he thought about how he still needed to use her against Lucius. He put on a concerned face, feigning worry, "Where does it hurt? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
Kendra was only trying to talk to Magnus; she wouldn't dare let him take her to the hospital. She pretended to be weak as she stood up from the ground, her face full of pretense, "No need for the hospital, it's not that painful." After saying this, she looked at Magnus with affection.
Magnus wasn't expecting Kendra to stop pretending so soon. He barely managed to keep his composure, "That's good. Be careful when you walk. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Seeing that Magnus was about to leave, Kendra quickly spoke up, "Wait, Magnus, I have something important to tell you." She had been waiting here for days just for the chance to see Magnus and tell him about Natalia and the British man.
Magnus frowned slightly and turned to look at Kendra, "What's so important?"
Kendra's eyes darted around before stepping closer to Magnus, "While you were gone these past few days, I saw Natalia with a man. They were happily shopping and laughing together. You have to be careful. Don't let this woman make a fool of you."
Magnus knew Kendra's intentions. She wanted to replace Natalia as his wife, but how could she even compare?
