The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 47

Natalia quickly stood up and her cheeks flushed. "Well, I'll let you get back to work. I'm going to bed." She found herself forgetting the world around her every time she sat on his lap.

There was something captivating about this man. Even if he was wheelchair-bound, his charm was irresistible, as long as he wasn't throwing a fit.

She walked into the bedroom, grabbed her nightgown, and closed the bathroom door behind her.

By the time Magnus finished his work, it was already eleven o'clock. He received an unexpected call from Morgan.

"Magnus, why don't you bring your wife to the Andersen Family Estate? Since you're interested in her, I won't object. It's up to you." Morgan's voice was still calm and gentle over the phone.

"Thanks, Grandpa. We'll be staying at Maplewood Manor. It's closer to the office. You should get some rest. It's late." Magnus replied, his voice soft.

Morgan nodded and ended the call. He sat by the window, gazing into the endless night. He was entrusting his company to Magnus, hoping he could overcome his difficulties and stand on his own two feet one day.

Three days later, Magnus took Natalia to their new home in Maplewood Manor. The staff, except for their Butler Linden and housemaid May, stayed on Sapphire Island to look after the properties there.

Maplewood Manor was a house that Magnus' friend Chase had bought for him three years ago. It was fully furnished and was meant to be Magnus’ place in Melfort, a city closer to his company.

Despite this, Magnus had chosen to stay on Sapphire Island. Now, he was finally moving to Melfort. The house was only a five-minute drive from the office.

As Linden drove into Maplewood Manor, a guard saluted. The window rolled down, and a security officer approached. "Mr. Magnus, welcome back to Maplewood Manor."

Magnus nodded, and the car slowly came to a stop in front of a two-story villa. The property was quite large, with a vast yard and two luxury cars parked on the lawn.

Natalia stepped out of the car, set up Magnus' wheelchair, and helped him into it. Linden followed with the luggage, and May was close behind. It felt like they were a typical family, with Magnus as the father, Natalia as the mother, and May as the child.

In response to Natalia's giggles, Magnus grabbed her hand. "What are you laughing at, darling? Do you like it here?"

Natalia pushed his wheelchair through the front gate. "I was just thinking, we look like a typical family out for a stroll."

His handsome face suddenly darkened at her words. He had a wife, yes, but not a child. Looking at his laughing wife, he lifted a hand to cup her chin. "I only have you, darling. As for children, we'll have to wait for you to give birth."

Natalia stopped laughing, and a blush crept up her face. She quickly changed the subject and began to take in her new surroundings.

The interior of the house was lavishly furnished, giving off a warm and inviting vibe, unlike the austere black decor of Sapphire Island. There was a large living room with a sofa that could easily serve as a bed. The kitchen was filled with brand new appliances, and every floor was accessible by elevator, considering Magnus' condition.

Magnus sat on the sofa, watching Natalia as she observed their new home. He patted the spot next to him. "Come, sit here."

Natalia walked over and looked at him.

"My love, this will be our home from now on. Do you like it?"
