The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 344

Magnus was already washed and dressed, stepping out of the bathroom with his damp hair plastered across his forehead, radiating a raw sensuality.

When he saw Diana in his room, Magnus asked with knit brows. “Miss Diana, you’re back again?”

Diana, spellbound, was fixated on Magnus. Her eyes were filled with undeniable infatuation. His charm deeply captivated her, and she felt that he had stolen her heart.

When Diana remained silent, Magnus repeated, "Miss Diana?"

Diana snapped back to reality. Stowing away her smitten gaze, she asked timidly, "Mr. Andersen, I heard you came in a private jet?"

"Yes, is that a problem?" Magnus was confused about Diana's question.

James, now dressed in his pajamas, was still miffed about Diana's earlier sly move, chimed in sarcastically, "Miss Diana, did you make this trip just to see the jet? I heard your company, Stitches Fashion, is doing quite well. Surely you've seen a jet before?"

"No, I just came to ask Mr. Andersen if he could slip away unnoticed tomorrow, so my brother doesn't find out," Diana whispered, her eyes darting around as if William might suddenly appear.

"Why?" Magnus was puzzled.

"Because of my brother's old-fashioned ways! He said I can't leave Rome and even took my passport. I am going to explode with frustration!" Diana vented.

"Can't leave Rome?" James was in disbelief. "I've heard of mummy's boys and daddy's girls, but never a brother's little princess! So, you're your brother's precious baby, always under his thumb, always following his orders?"

Upon hearing James' teasing, Diana retorted, "What are you talking about? My brother is just concerned about my safety. That's why he doesn't want me to accompany you to Melfort!"

The moment she said this, she regretted it. Why had she brought it up?

As expected, Magnus and James exchanged a glance at Diana's words. James continued to provoke Diana, "What are you now, a grown woman without freedom? You just mentioned your brother’s concern for your safety and his disapproval of you joining us in Melfort. I see, Miss Diana, you better leave now! We wouldn't want to upset your brother and cause unnecessary trouble!"

Saying this, James motioned to escort Diana out of the room.
