The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 39

By the time he returned to the villa, dawn was just breaking. Linden saw Magnus walk in and immediately stood up, "Would you like something to eat?"

He'd been awake all night and was fatigued, but he wasn't in the mood for food. "Let Dr. Frankie know that my wife and I will be there for a leg checkup at nine. Make sure he remembers what to say to her. Don't forget to clarify that to him."

"Yes, Mr. Magnus."

Magnus walked into the bedroom and saw the girl sound asleep on the bed. He undressed and climbed into bed, pulling her into his embrace before drifting off to sleep.

Natalia opened her eyes the next day and blushed when she saw herself sleeping in a man's arms. She remembered they had slept separately the previous night. Did he sneak into her bed while she was sleeping?

She smiled shyly, gently removing his large hand from her body, and then made her way towards the bathroom.

The man continued to sleep deeply, but felt uncomfortable with the softness missing from his arms. His hand reached out, grabbing at nothing. He immediately furrowed his brows, "Honey..."

His voice was hoarse.

Natalia stepped out of the bathroom and whispered in his ear, "You keep sleeping. I'll go make breakfast."

The man heard her offer to make breakfast, and the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile, "Okay."

After the man fell back asleep, Natalia got dressed and went downstairs. Linden was about to start making breakfast, but when he saw Natalia coming down, he quickly approached her, "Miss Natalia, you're up so early. I'm about to make breakfast."

Natalia walked past him, "I'll make breakfast today. You go buy some fresh vegetables and fruits."

Linden nodded, "Alright."

Natalia made some cereal and scrambled eggs, and made sandwiches and toast. She also prepared a few side dishes.

She often cooked for the Clarkson family, and before college, she could do any chores the maids could do. This had also made her a great cook.

When Linden returned with the groceries, Natalia had already finished preparing everything. She was about to go upstairs to wake Magnus for breakfast.

Linden saw the breakfast she had prepared and was so surprised his jaw almost dropped, "Miss Natalia, I didn't know you could cook. Mr. Magnus will be so happy when he sees this."

"Really? I just made these things on a whim." Natalia said with a smile.

"I didn't expect a wealthy lady like you to be able to do all this; it's really impressive." In his mind, Natalia was a lady who would never lift a finger to do such chores.

"He has an appointment with Dr. Frankie at nine to check his leg. It's eight now, so he should be getting up. Ms. Natalia, I'll go wake him up." Linden said cheerfully, preparing to go upstairs.

Natalia stepped forward, "I'll go wake him up. You can just bring the breakfast to the table."

"Alright."

Natalia gently pushed open the bedroom door, only to see the man still sleeping soundly. How could he sleep so much? Did he not sleep last night?

She bent over to take a closer look at his sleeping face. His breath was even, his eyelashes were long, almost like a girl's, and his lips were tightly pressed together. There were dark circles under his eyes, as if he had stayed up all night.

In his sleep, Magnus felt someone blowing on his face. A familiar, pleasant scent filled his senses. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a beautiful face very close to his. Her big, blue eyes were pure and clear.
