The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 247

Natalia didn't scold him. Magnus felt a burst of joy in his heart and asked, “When do you plan on returning home with me, darling?”

"Home? Where's that?" Natalia laughed incredulously. “I haven't asked you to leave, but I didn't say I'd go with you either. Besides, after I fled from my engagement party, Cal fell seriously ill. I still have some things to clear up with him.”

At the mention of Callum, Magnus felt a surge of anger. Magnus tipped up Natalia's delicate chin. "Darling, don't test my patience. Especially by calling Callum ‘Cal’ in my presence. It's too intimate; I can't stand it."

"Magnus, you're hopelessly domineering. Not to mention, Cal has been taking care of me all these years. Even if we're just friends, what's wrong with calling him by a pet name?" Natalia was a bit irritated. Magnus was becoming more and more overbearing. She regretted not kicking him out earlier.

However, Magnus was a stubborn man. Once he decided on something, no one could change his mind. He quickly changed the topic. “Anyway, it annoys me to hear it. If you insist on calling him that, I won't mind keeping that Brit locked up in the castle forever.”

Natalia knew he meant what he said, so she stopped arguing about the name. After all, it was just a name, and it wouldn't change her feelings for Callum.

"Magnus, you've seen Jonas now. You can leave. I won't give Jonas back to you." Natalia quickly made her stance clear, vowing never to hand Jonas over to Magnus.

Magnus smirked, “Will I take him away? No, no, no. How could I take Jonas away? We're a family. We stick together, through thick and thin. Wherever you are, I'll be there.”

Natalia just wanted to bite him out of frustration. She wanted to bite a chunk of flesh from him, just to see if he dared to continue being arrogant.

Grinning, Magnus said, “My dear, are you eyeing that piece of meat? Feel free, I promise not to move a muscle.” Magnus began to unbutton his shirt, revealing his muscular chest and lean waist.

Natalia blushed. Could Magnus read minds? She quickly stood up to find Jonas, but her slender wrist was caught by a warm hand. “Where are you going, darling?”

With a gentle pull, Natalia found herself sitting on his lap. Her mind seemed to explode. Sitting on his hot thighs, she could feel his warmth even through the fabric. She used to sit on his lap every day, and now she was sitting in his arms again and felt her heart racing.

"Darling, it's been five years since you've sat on my lap. Does it feel as comfortable as it used to? Hm?" His voice was deep and husky, and his hands held her waist tightly.

Natalia tried to stand up, feeling her body start to soften. The strong scent of his masculinity and his restrained desire seeped into her nostrils, making her feel suffocated.

Magnus rested his head on her shoulder, kissing her swan-like neck. The familiar taste and fragrance made him close his eyes in comfort.

"Darling, I miss you. Let's move back to our villa. This place is too small; let's give it to Lexi." He kissed her neck, moving slowly towards her chin.

“I... I'll stay here with Lexi. You can take Jonas home.” Natalia's voice started to tremble. Magnus was too smooth.

Magnus lifted his head, and his eyes were filled with desire. “Darling, do you think that's possible? Jonas won't want to leave you any more than I would. Be good! Let's go home. Okay?”
