The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 325

Like a dagger, Callum's words ruthlessly stabbed Magnus' heart, causing him unbearable pain with each jab.

Magnus lifted his head, his eyes filled with guilt and regret. "Yes, I am the one to blame for all this. I was too careless and let such a foolish thing happen to me. No matter the cost, I will find her!" He vowed to bring Natalia back to him. He knew she couldn't return to him, but he could go to her.

"Darling, I will find you, even if I have to search to the ends of the earth. Jonas and I can't go on without you!" He clutched his chest, allowing the pain to radiate throughout his body.

Lexi reached out and gave Callum a pinch, scolding him in a low voice, "If you can help the couple with their trouble, just do it. If not, then just shut up. Why are you making such snide remarks?!"

Callum touched his nose in embarrassment. "Lexi, I was just sticking up for Natalia, that's all." After being reprimanded, Callum fell silent, hanging his head low like a hen-pecked husband.

Seeing Callum quiet down, Lexi turned her attention to the disheartened Magnus. "Magnus, I'm truly sorry to hear about you and Natalia. I didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, you two would still end up apart. Go find her. She needs you. We'll also keep an eye out for Natalia, and I'll let you know as soon as we hear something. Go now; don't let her wander alone for too long."

After finishing, Lexi dragged Callum out of Magnus' office.

In the elevator, Callum was not pleased with Lexi's actions. He frowned in discontent. "Lexi, why didn't you let me give that jerk Magnus a good beating? Is it because you think I'm still in love with Buttercup? Lexi, I admit I still care about her, but I swear, it's purely platonic. Please don't overthink." As he spoke, he stole glances at Lexi, afraid that she would misconstrue his feelings for Natalia.

Lexi adjusted her hair in the elevator mirror before looking at Callum. "You're the one who's overthinking. I only agreed to try dating you for a while. That doesn't mean I'm tied to you forever. There are so many handsome men in the world. If one doesn't work out, there will always be another."

Upon hearing this, Callum's eyes widened in panic. He quickly wrapped his arms around Lexi. "No! Lexi, how can you do this to me? You have no choice but to be with me for the rest of your life. There can't be a next one, never ever!"

The mere thought of Lexi being with another guy hurt Callum's heart. He was determined not to let her out of his sight again.

Callum's sudden embrace took Lexi aback. She was thankful that they were alone in the elevator. But thinking of the security cameras, she knew the guard watching the footage would be having a good laugh.

"Callum, can you act a bit more mature? This is Melfort. Can you show me some respect?!" Lexi complained, stomping on Callum's foot with her heel in anger.

Callum winced in pain and finally let go of Lexi, grinning sheepishly as he defended himself, "Lexi, what can I do? I can't control myself when I'm with you! Do you know how worried I was when you left?"
