The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 209

Natalia heard Magnus’ call, and a sharp pang of pain hit her heart. Instinctively she shook her head, murmuring to herself, "Move on, it’s all in the past!"

She had to distance herself from this man!

Having made up her mind, Natalia mustered her courage and turned around.

She tried to keep her face expressionless, staring straight into his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Magnus, we have no connection anymore. Everything that happened in the past is just that, the past. I hope you stop bothering me and disrupting my current life."

Magnus felt a heavy blow to his heart. Standing before him was his wife, the woman he had yearned for, but now she was telling him they had nothing to do with each other.

"No, no, no!" Magnus shook his head and shouted, "You are my wife, Natalia. Everything about you is my business. How can you say it has nothing to do with me? Come home with me!"

As he reached out to grab Natalia's hand, she swiftly evaded him.

"Magnus, I think Buttercup has made it very clear. She doesn’t want to see you, nor does she want you to interfere with her life. Although you have a lot of clout in Melfort, please have some consideration for your own dignity. Don’t keep behaving like a child.” Callum promptly stepped in between them, admonishing Magnus.

"Step aside, this is a matter between a husband and a wife, and it’s none of your business!” Magnus pushed Callum aside and gazed at Natalia passionately. "Natalia, look at me. I'm Magnus, the man who loves you the most in this world. Come back with me. Once we’re home, you can punish me however you want!”

Even if it meant going through hell, all that mattered was that she could return to his side!

This stalemate lasted for a while, preventing Natalia and Callum from boarding their plane. Everyone was held up at the airport.

As the crowd dispersed, only Magnus, Callum's henchmen, and security personnel remained. Magnus defiantly surveyed the onlookers, continuing to persuade his wife whom he had been longing for and finally reunited with after five years.

"Natalia, come home with me. Can we start over?"

Listening to Magnus' luring plea, there was a moment when Natalia felt that he had changed and was no longer the man he had been five years ago.

This man was her Achilles' heel. Every move he made tugged at her heart, but he would make vows of love to her one moment and be in bed with another woman the next. How could she trust him?

The lesson from five years ago was still fresh in her mind. She didn’t need anything else from him.

"Magnus, please respect me. We have long been separated! Let go of the past.” Natalia clenched her fingers, forcing herself to utter these words. She had to leave immediately, otherwise, she would go insane facing this man.

"Natalia, I…”

Magnus was about to say something, but fearing that he would say something that would make her heart flutter again, Natalia quickly interrupted him, "Callum, let's go."

Looking into Natalia's cold eyes, all of Magnus' persistence instantly vanished. Most of the past troubles had arisen from his stubbornness and disregard for her feelings. In many a sleepless night, Magnus had been filled with regret. If given a chance to do it all over, he would cherish Natalia, love her, and prioritize her feelings above all else. He would do what made her happy and avoid what upset her.

Now that this moment had come. He was reluctant to let her go, but he decided to keep the promise he had made to himself.

She wanted to leave, so he would give her some space. As long as she was alive, no matter where on earth she was, he would find her!
