The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 261

When Morgan saw Natalia this time, he wisely decided not to give her a hard time, to avoid rousing the rebel spirit in Magnus and getting himself thrown out.

Hearing Morgan's complaints, Magnus just raised his eyebrows dismissively. "It's not as bad as you make it out to be. As long as you aren’t hostile to my wife, you're welcome to visit Jonas anytime."

Natalia tugged at Magnus, thinking he was being far too disrespectful to his own grandfather. Although Morgan had once kidnapped her child and caused her to nearly drown at sea, she had decided not to hold it against him because he was Magnus' grandfather.

Now that Magnus was being so rude, Natalia tried to smooth things over. "Grandpa, Magnus didn't mean it that way."

Morgan looked at Natalia standing before him and felt a deep sense of guilt. If he hadn't been so stubborn back then, perhaps all of this could have been avoided.

Now, Morgan was older and not only had no grandchildren around him, but couldn't even see his great-grandson. If Morgan could turn back time, he was certain he would never have done such a thing as kidnapping Jonas. But there are no ifs in life, and since it had happened, he had to accept the consequences.

Despite his guilt towards Natalia, Morgan would’ve rather died than apologize to her. He nodded slightly, as if accepting Natalia's form of address, and fell silent for a moment before finally speaking, "You've had it tough over the years."

Natalia knew that for Morgan to say these words was already a big step. After all, as the former patriarch of the Andersen family, it was likely that no one had ever made Morgan bow his head.

So, Natalia just shook her head lightly. "I've been okay."

Magnus was pleased to see this exchange. After all these years, it seemed that his grandfather had finally given up his negative views of his wife. If he had known this would happen, he would have stayed abroad for a few more years. Maybe then his grandfather would have been the one urging him to hurry up and marry Natalia.

"Grandpa, here's Jonas," Magnus said, stepping forward to reveal the little boy.

Hearing this, Morgan was overjoyed. He knew that Magnus was finally letting his guard down, but Morgan wasn't so naive as to think that Magnus was simply becoming more obedient with age.

The young man was probably just worried that Morgan would continue to challenge Natalia, and that's why he was so agreeable.

Humph, was Magnus testing him?

Did Morgan question Magnus’ wife? Morgan was busy, okay? He didn't have time to meddle in their affairs.

Morgan turned to look at Jonas, who was standing behind Natalia, and waved him over. "Come here, you're Jonas, right? Come, Great-grandpa will play with you."

Jonas looked up at Natalia, got her approval, and confidently walked over to Morgan. "Hi Great-grandpa, Yes, I'm Jonas. Nice to meet you."

"Good! " Jonas was well-behaved and sensible, and it brought a smile to Morgan’s face. He pulled Jonas onto his lap and couldn't stop hugging him.

The little boy's laughter filled the room. "Your beard is tickling me."

"Is it? Hehe, I will shave it all off later." Morgan was completely focused on Jonas, his laughter causing more wrinkles to form on his face.

This boy was just like his grandson when he was little. Not only was Jonas sweet, but he was quick-witted, too. If Jonas was raised properly, he would definitely achieve more than his father.
