The Imposter Bride

Chapter 168

With a sudden burst of tears, she clutched her belly as a sharp pain shot through her. She quickly focused her attention elsewhere. “I’m sorry, baby. Mommy shouldn’t be crying. You have to be good, okay?” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Natalia held her belly, trying to clear her mind and forget about the photograph. She gently turned off her phone, closed her eyes, and settled into the chair on the balcony.

In the middle of the night, Magnus returned to Sapphire Island, a shadow of his usually vibrant self. He walked into the bedroom, only to find it neatly made and empty. His heart lurched. Where was she?

Immediately, he went to the study, pushing the door open.

Bathed in moonlight, he saw her lying on the small bed in the study. She looked like a small, abandoned kitten, lying on her side with her hands resting on her belly

Magnus watched her silently. The lingering effects of the drug, which hadn’t completely worn off, suddenly flared up again. He bent down and kissed her lips. He tasted her sweetness and pulled her into his arms to savor her unique sweetness. Her scent was his ultimate weakness. Dammit, he wanted her She was already more than five months pregnant. If he was gentle, it would’ve been alright. As he thought this, Magnus continued to kiss her

Natalia woke to him kissing her and immediately remembered that he had kissed Isabella not long ago. She quickly pushed him away, feeling a wave of nausea. She rushed into the bathroom and started throwing up.

Magnus watched as she retched. His handsome face grew darker and darker. She disliked him so much that just kissing her would make her throw up like that?

When he saw Natalia emptying her stomach, he got up and silently went to pat her back. Natalia turned around and coldly pushed his hand away “What’s the matter, Magnus? Didn’t you get enough of kissing Isabella tonight? Now you want to kiss me, a pregnant woman?” She said, her voice sounding icy far the first time.

Magnus was taken aback. His anger was threatening to explode. She still thought he was having an affair with Isabella. Her sarcasm made him so angry he wanted to tear her apart

Natalia was so ungrateful. In order not to hurt her, he had even gone to the hospital to get the drugs out of his system, yet she still didn’t trust him. Her sarcastic words were so infuriating that he felt like his lungs were about to burst!

Magnus stared at the girl he had been treating with gentle care, suddenly feeling like she was a stranger.

His face hardened, and he began to close in on Natalia. “You’re so stubborn. Why won’t you open your eyes and see how I feel about you? Why do you always think that I am having an affair with Isabella““”

Natalia instinctively backed away until she was cornered. With nowhere else to go, she looked up at him with a defiant mix of resentment and accusation. “Magnus, dont worry. After I give birth, I will leave That way, you won’t have to put on a show for me anymore!”

Her words filled him with an uncontrollable rage. He clenched his fist and swung it at the wall, leaving a bloody mark.

Natalia was frightened by Magnus‘ outburst, but she didn’t flinch She knew that the punch wasn’t meant for her but for the wall. Despite being scared, Natalia felt a pang of concern when she saw his injured hand. She wanted to reach out and check on him, but she withdrew her hand when she thought about his actions earlier

She didn’t believe she had done anything wrong. She straightened her shoulders and gathered her courage to confront Magnus Magnus, only you know whether or not you’re having an affair with Isabella. So you don’t need to explain anything to me

Magnus was on the verge of losing his mind because of Natalia’s accusations, He felt helpless in front of her bulging belly. He struggled to suppress his anger, turned around, and left the room. He stormed down the stairs and swept the cups on the coffee table to the floor The villa was filled with loud and scary noise, echoing eerily in the quiet night and causing a numbing sensation in the ears. Following that, the study room downstairs was also violently thrashed, and all those valuable items had fallen victim to Magnus’s towering anger

Natalia closed her eyes and cradled her slightly rotund belly, her body beginning to tremble. Don’t be afraid, sweetheart Mommy will protect you Silently, she walked to her bedroom and gently lay down on the bed, closing her eyes and emptying her thoughts. However, the fear within her heart and caused her to tremble beneath the blanket. She could feel wetness on her face and reached up to touch it, only to realize that she was shedding silent

tears

She had told him numerous times, if he was tired of her, he should simply let her go! What was this situation now? He didn’t allow her to go to school kept her confined on Sapphire Island, and limited her personal freedom. Was it that only he and Isabella could have an unclear relationship while she wasn’t allowed even a bit of freedom?

His eyes red, he turned and stormed upstairs pushing open the bedroom door to see a lump beneath the covers. He was irritated and had murderous thoughts

He detested this kind of life. He missed the days when his girl would act tenderly in his arms Yet now, she cannot stand him, and that was putting a mildly Even a kiss would repulse her!

He looked at the small shaking figure under the covers His heart ached until it went numb

Enough! She was always crying with a look of utter injustice, as if he had committed a hemous crime. He didn’t do anything wsong – surely, kissing his own wife wasn’t a sin?

This time, Magnus didn’t comfort her, instead, he walked out of the room He was so agitated that he felt like killing someone. He stomped downstars again to see that Linden and May had woken up. They had heard the commotion and knew that something was up. Upon seeing the chaos in the living room and study, they didn’t say anything, but started to clean up

Magnus, in a foul mood, growled at Linden, Just throw everything away What’s the use of tidying up with that, he slammed the door and left

The car drove away from Sapphire Island once again in the deep night. The villa was quiet again. Natalia opened her eyes, her tears had long since soaked her pillow.

Downstairs, Linden and May instructed the servants to clean up the room. The two went upstairs and saw Natalia, | her protruding belly, lying quietly on the bed, looking lonely and pitiful

“Ma’am, don’t be sad Being so upset is not good for the baby Please, don’t argue with Mr Magnus anymore Focus on keeping healthy and giving birth

to the child”

Natalia hid her face in the covers and made no sound

After hearing May’s words she suddenly turned pate. That’s right he was always domineering not letting her study restricting her freedom, acting brusquely without any consideration and the had no way to counter him

She had to give birth to the child. She whispered an apology to her unborn child vowing not to be sad anymore

“Madam, don’t get too angry. Although Mi. Magnut can be irritable he has a very kind heart. Besides which couple doesn’t bicker? (nea

in a few days things will naturally get better May tried to comfort Natalia softly hoping the wouldn’t be too upest
