The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 62

Natalia stood frozen in surprise, he was back!

"...You're back?" She took a step forward, and a sudden sense of joy was washing over her. She looked up into his deep, dark eyes.

Magnus gave Natalia a glance. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, slicing through the air towards Hector.

Hector had never met Magnus, who had been living on an island. He only remembered seeing him a few times when they were children. All he knew was that Magnus was wheelchair-bound. The moment Hector met Magnus’ penetrating gaze, he was taken aback. If looks could kill, he’d be dead.

Magnus was dressed in a black shirt, his long legs encased in tailored trousers, resting neatly on the footrest of his wheelchair. If it weren't for the wheelchair, it would be impossible to tell he was disabled. His body radiated an aura of indifference and a strong sense of possessiveness!

"Magnus, long time no see." Hector was the first to break the silence.

Magnus glanced at him lightly. "Have we met before?"

Hector was stunned. It had been a long time, but they had met ten years ago. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Magnus had already wheeled himself to the side of Natalia. "Why didn't you let Linden come to pick you up?"

His voice was soft, almost a whisper from his throat.

He lifted his hand to touch Natalia's face, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Sorry to have startled you, my darling."

"It's okay, when did you come back?" Natalia gently held his hand.

"Just now!" He gazed deeply into her eyes, his eyes brimming with infinite affection.

Hector stood there awkwardly, watching their interaction. His heart felt like it had been ripped out! He had never known their relationship was like this. He stood there quietly, watching them gaze affectionately at each other. His arms dropped to his sides, and his fists clenched. "Magnus, I need to talk to you." No matter what, Hector had to have a conversation with him.

"About what?" Magnus turned to him slowly. "I don't think we're familiar with each other, and there's nothing to talk about."

Hector stepped forward. "I believe we should have a conversation. After all, you are not Natalia's husband. Kendra is your legal wife, isn't she?"

Upon hearing his words, Magnus closed his eyes, then reopened them. His wheelchair swiftly moved to Hector’s side. "Don't you think you're meddling too much? This is the Andersen family, not the Cood family. What right do you have to question my relationship with Nat? Are you her first love? Her classmate?" Magnus’ cold demeanor visibly darkened.

Upon hearing his words, Natalia was shocked. She quickly turned around. "Hector, go home. Thank you for bringing me back."

Hector glanced at Natalia but didn’t leave. Instead, he continued to stare at Magnus. "Magnus, let Natalia go. Your feud with Lucius and your personal vendetta doesn’t involve Natalia. She's innocent, she still has to go to school..."

"Hector!" Hector was cut off by Magnus’ icy voice. "Aren’t you meddling too much? My family feud has nothing to do with you, and my woman has nothing to do with you! How I involve her is my business, and I don’t need a stranger to worry about my affairs!"

His gaze was chillingly cold, and it was clear he was barely containing his anger. "Linden, see the guest out!"

He turned and wheeled towards the elevator, not sparing a glance at anyone in the room.

"Of course!" Linden immediately stepped forward. "This way, please."
