The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 240

Jonas moved close to Natalia, planting a sweet kiss on her cheek. “Mom, I am no longer a little kid, I can see that you don’t really like Dad. But my teacher said that children are the product of their parents’ love, does that mean you didn’t want to have me? Did I cause you trouble, Mommy?”

Hearing these soft, childish words, Natalia's eyes filled with tears. Her precious baby boy was cautiously asking if he had caused her any trouble.

She pulled Jonas into a tight hug, speaking with utmost sincerity, “Jonas, you are my most beloved treasure. I’ve never thought of you as a burden. Instead, you’ve been my strongest emotional support during my most difficult times. The issues between your father and me are not because of you, do you understand?”

Jonas rubbed his eyes, sleepily replying, “Really? That's good, then. Mommy, can you stay here? Can you stay and watch me grow up? All the other kids have mommies, and I want one too. The breakfast you make is so delicious; it tastes just like love, and I like it so much, I wish I could have it every day.”

Natalia's eyes welled up with tears once more. She owed her child so much.

“Jonas, you are my treasure. It was wrong of me not to be there for you as you grew up. But darling, not everything in life goes as we wish. I…”

Natalia stopped mid-sentence, noticing that Jonas had already fallen asleep. She tucked him in and followed him into slumber.

Outside, the moonlight was pouring into the room, scattering like silver dust.

After a while, Natalia and Jonas were deep in sleep. The bedroom door was gently pushed open, and Magnus tiptoed in. In the moonlight, he quietly approached the bed, looking at his sleeping wife and son. He lay down next to Natalia with a satisfied smile on his face.

Seeing his wife and son lying by his side filled Magnus with a sense of contentment.

Of course, when Natalia fully accepted him, he would be even happier. He would then be the happiest man in the world, without a doubt!

As the moonlight waned, the sun began to rise. Natalia was awakened by the sunlight streaming into the room. She opened her eyes to Magnus’ handsome, smiling face.

“Good morning, my dearest wife.” Magnus was beaming. He affectionately kissed Natalia's forehead.

As Magnus' lips touched Natalia's forehead, he trembled slightly. Natalia, too, shivered at his touch. Without thinking, Natalia tried to move back, forgetting she was on the bed, and almost fell off. Fortunately, with his quick reflexes, Magnus caught her in time, preventing her from falling.

“Darling, I wouldn’t want you to get any bruises. That would break my heart.” Magnus' voice was seductive, making Natalia weak in the knees.

Taking advantage of Natalia's distraction, Magnus, adhering to his policy of taking advantage when opportunity struck, planted another kiss on her forehead. His surprise attack was successful, and Magnus felt as if he had just had a spoonful of sweet honey!
