The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 528

Magnus and Natalia returned to the balmy embrace of Hawaii, and the unpleasant memories of England soon faded like a bad dream. Their love was a portrait of passion, a daily testament to devotion.

One day, Natalia, with an easel in hand, made her way to the beach, setting out to capture another of her stunning creations. Through her eyes, the world was always beautiful. Her brush transformed the mundane into the exquisite. As she painted, she slipped into a trance, her colors weaving a vibrant tapestry of life.

After some time, she stepped back, a soft smile gracing her lips as she admired the seamless blend of ocean and sky on her canvas. However, her satisfaction was short-lived. Unbeknownst to her, a cluster of pink heart-shaped balloons had appeared, bobbing gently in the sea breeze before her.

Natalia was transfixed, wondering from where these charming intruders had come. Following the ribbons tethered to the balloons, her gaze landed on the dashing figure of Magnus, immaculately dressed, standing before her easel. He was clutching the ribbons in his left hand and holding a bouquet of fiery red roses in his right.

Magnus wore a carefree smile. "My dearest, do you recall what day it is today?"

Natalia shook her head, genuinely puzzled. "What day is it?"

Striding past the easel, he presented the roses to her, his gaze intense. "Today marks exactly 12 years, 132 days, and 7 hours since we met."

Natalia let out a light chuckle. "I thought it was some major holiday! Why celebrate such a peculiar anniversary?"

"Because every day with you is a day worth celebrating in my life," Magnus declared. "I thank the stars for the gift of your company, for teaching me to cherish every second we share." As he spoke, he released the balloons into the sky and pulled Natalia into his embrace, kissing her as if she were his most priceless treasure.

The heart-shaped balloons rose into the sky, borne by the wind. They were a fluttering testament to their love.

The couple, stunning against the backdrop of blue skies and crystal waters, shared a deep kiss, and the ascending balloons painted an intoxicating scene.

"Click!"

The sound startled Natalia in the midst of Magnus' kiss. Turning, she saw Jonas capturing the moment, and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She pushed Magnus away lightly. "Stop it, Jonas is back."

"Let him be. He's back, so what? We're in the middle of something beautiful here," Magnus said, drawing her back into his embrace and toward his lips once more.

Seizing the moment, Jonas pressed the shutter and then approached with a grin. He had returned only to find his parents in an affectionate display. It seemed his presence was superfluous.

Natalia tried to resist at first, but soon, she was lost in the depth and fervor of Magnus' kiss.

Jonas quickly set up his tripod and dashed in front of the couple. Using their embrace as a backdrop, he leaped into the air, exclaiming, "Yay!"

"Click!"

The camera captured this warm and romantic scene, freezing their images in time.

After a long while, Magnus reluctantly released Natalia, cursing the public setting of the beach in his mind and wishing for more privacy to fully express his love. Plus their pesky little one, Jonas, just had to return at such a romantically awkward moment!
