The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 235

Natalia shook her head, indifferent to the fate of Kendra and Isabella. Magnus had thought he was avenging her, but even now, he still failed to realize that he was the one who had hurt her the most.

"Let's not argue in front of the child," Natalia gently suggested. "Magnus, could you leave us alone for a bit? I'd like some alone time with Jonas."

Jonas had been quietly sitting in Natalia's lap. He had seen countless pictures and videos of his mother, but nothing compared to the warm, real touch of her now. She was soft, and she smelled lovely - it was a scent that was uniquely Mom.

Jonas didn't pay much attention to what Natalia and Magnus were discussing. He was too engrossed in the comforting scent of his mother.

Magnus rose to his feet, as the conversation wasn't going well. "Alright, I'll go check on dinner," he said, before gently exiting the room and considerately closing the door behind him.

Once the lock clicked into place, Natalia felt a sense of relief. For some reason, she always felt insecure whenever Magnus was around. Perhaps it was because of the prison-like years she had spent with him five years ago, the memory of which was permanent.

Subconsciously, Magnus always repelled her. Only when he was gone did she stop feeling so tense.

Natalia picked up Jonas, not finding the five-year-old too heavy. These past years, she had thought her beloved child was no longer in this world. Seeing him now felt like a dream. Five years was neither long nor short, but what she had lost were the precious moments of watching Jonas grow up.

Natalia was overjoyed. She picked up a stuffed animal from the bed and played with Jonas. "Do you like this, sweetheart? Mommy got it for you."

"Thank you, Mommy," Jonas responded softly, leaving a sweet kiss on Natalia's cheek that instantly melted her heart.

Natalia didn't notice that Jonas, who was five years old, didn't have much interest in the stuffed toy. He just didn't want to upset his mother. He liked his mommy.

Time always flew when mother and son were together. Before they knew it, it was already dark outside.

Instead of sending a servant to call Natalia and Jonas for dinner, Magnus knocked on the door himself. "My lovely wife and son, dinner's ready!" He called out.

He was no longer the cold, mysterious CEO of Andersen Corporation. He had become childlike, foolish even. All because he had found his treasures.There was unabashed anticipation in his voice. Regardless of how Natalia rejected him, she was now living in the closest place to him. Wasn’t that enough?

Inside the room, Natalia frowned in annoyance, which was immediately caught by the perceptive Jonas. "Mommy, Daddy is calling us for dinner. Don't you like Daddy?"

"Ah? No, let's go. Let's have dinner." Natalia didn't want to pass on her negative emotions to Jonas. This was between her and Magnus. She couldn't let it affect their child.

Holding Jonas' hand, Natalia walked to the door. When she opened it, she saw Magnus leaning against the wall with one hand in his pocket.

Seeing them come out, Magnus even cheerfully whistled. "It was tough waiting for you to come out."

"Let's go." Natalia didn't want to say more. She led Jonas straight downstairs.

Jonas winked at his father. Magnus shrugged nonchalantly and followed them down.
