The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 234

But the doctor had said the child didn't make it, hadn't he? If not for his words, why would Natalia have driven her car into the sea in despair?

“Mommy, Daddy said you went to a faraway place and that you’d come to visit me in my dreams, but every time I slept, you don't come. Don't you love me, Mommy?” Little Jonas asked Natalia with a serious expression on his face.

A shock rippled through Natalia's heart as she struggled to absorb the reality that she had a son. My God, her baby was alive! The child she thought was lost forever was still with her!

Unable to contain herself, Natalia pulled Jonas into a tight embrace. Tears flowed freely from her eyes as she stammered, “Yes, you are Mommy’s precious baby, the one Mommy loves the most. Even when I’m not by your side, I think about you every moment. I’m so sorry, sweetheart, for not being there for you. I’m so sorry…” Overwhelmed with emotion, Natalia couldn't find the words to express herself anymore.

“It’s okay, Mommy. I forgive you. Don't cry.” Jonas was still a child and was delighted to hear Natalia's words. With his chubby little hands, he wiped away Natalia's tears. “Daddy was right all along. As long as I’m a good boy, I’d reunite with Mommy one day.”

Just then, Magnus walked into the room. As he looked at Natalia embracing their son, guilt washed over him. “My dear, I’m sorry,” he whispered. He was sorry for all the pain she had gone through, the hurt he had caused her, and for keeping her from her son at birth.

Holding Jonas in her arms, Natalia slowly looked up at Magnus. Her face was stained with tears, and her gaze was icy. “Don’t you think I deserve an explanation?”

Magnus lowered his head, and his hand lightly rested on her trembling shoulder. “My dear, I’ll explain.”

He took Jonas from her, put an arm around her waist, and led her to sit on the bed. “This is our son. We both thought he didn’t make it into this world, but it turns out my grandfather hid him from us. It wasn’t until I was searching for you and broke both my legs that he revealed Jonas to encourage me to try and live.”

Did Morgan hide their son? Natalia was aghast. She always knew Morgan disliked her, but she never thought he'd go to such lengths to keep her son away from her. It was despicable!

Holding Jonas, Natalia wept uncontrollably. “How could he do that? He knew how much I loved our son. How could he do such a thing? Isn’t he a parent himself? How could he…”

Watching Natalia’s tears, Magnus felt a pang of guilt. He reached out to comfort her, but she pulled away. “My dear, all the suffering and pain you've gone through is my fault. I swear I won't let you get hurt anymore. I'll make amends for the rest of my life!”

Natalia cried silently, holding Jonas close and pushing Magnus away. “No, I can't trust anything you say anymore because you never follow through! If you have any conscience left, give my son back to me. He is my life. I was ready to die when I thought I'd lost him!”
