The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 323

Lexi hesitated, unable to suppress her longing for her parents. How could they possibly understand her situation? And should she really bring Callum back with her?

With a pleading look, Lexi turned to Natalia sitting beside her. With an encouraging nod from her friend, she finally turned to Callum, who had been kneeling on one knee the entire time. "Alright, I'll give you this chance. But this doesn't mean I've accepted your feelings. If you're truly sincere, wait until the day I wholeheartedly accept you."

"That's great! Lexi, you're finally giving me a chance to prove myself, this is amazing!" Callum exclaimed, jumping up from the floor. He quickly pulled Lexi into his arms and planted a passionate kiss on her lips.

Lexi tried to push him away, but despite all her efforts, she couldn't budge him. Callum kissed Lexi passionately, careful not to touch her belly, cradling her head gently. His heavy breaths brushed against her face, causing a blush to creep up her cheeks.

After a while, Callum reluctantly released Lexi. "Baby, do you know how much I've worried and missed you these past few days? Next time, if you're mad at me, just let me know directly, okay? You have to take care of yourself."

"You're so shameless; Natalia is still here." Lexi lightly punched Callum and glanced over at Natalia, only to find that she had disappeared. Natalia was nowhere to be seen, and the door to the room was closed. She must have left during their passionate kiss.

"Natalia? Natalia?" Lexi stepped out of the room and looked around the now empty café. Natalia was nowhere to be found.

"Lexi, I think Buttercup didn't want to disturb us, so she left. Why don't you give her a call?" Callum suggested, somewhat regretfully, not noticing Natalia's departure.

Lexi stomped her foot in annoyance and gave Callum a shove. "You don't understand! She snuck out of Melfort. You have no idea what's going on. Now Natalia is gone. You have to find her!"

"What do you mean she snuck out of Melfort? Why?" Callum asked, confused.

"Ugh!" Lexi was in a hurry, glaring at Callum, "Oh my goodness! I just ran into Natalia. I was originally persuading her to go back to Magnus. But while we were having a heartfelt conversation, you suddenly appeared and said a bunch of weird things. Natalia must have stealthy left as she didn't want to return to Melfort with me. This is all your fault!"

"No, Lexi, calm down and tell me, what exactly happened to Buttercup?" Callum regretted his earlier negligence. He hadn't noticed any difference in Natalia.

Now that he thought about it carefully, it seemed that from the moment he saw Natalia, he hadn't seen her smile. On her face, there seemed to be a faint, inconsolable sorrow.

Lexi explained the situation in a rush. Callum listened to Lexi's explanation, his anger surging. "That's outrageous! Where is this, Isabella? I'm going to deal with her!"

"I don't know. The most important thing now is to find Natalia. You have no idea how stubborn she can be. Once she sets her mind on something, nothing can change it!"
