The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 80

For him, Natalia and the girl from his past both held a place in his heart. However, that girl eventually

left him, while Natalia did not. So Magnus felt that he should cherish Natalia even more.

Back when his legs were broken, that girl wept with a heart-wrenching sorrow. He thought she would

be his future. She had cared for him tenderly during that time, and he opened his heart to her. But three

years later, when Magnus returned from France, that girl had lost patience and was no longer waiting

for him. When Magnus came back, she had already left, and at that moment, it felt like a piece of his

heart had been torn away. He tasted the bitterness of abandonment again. From that point on, he

despised women and focused all his energy on revenge.

That woman was Isabella, Magnus' first love.

Now, when he thought of her, there was no turbulence in his heart. He had even forgotten what she

looked like. But the girl in front of him, he absolutely wouldn't allow her to leave him. He couldn't bear

another abandonment.

As he thought this, Magnus leaned in once more to kiss Natalia. All he wanted was to kiss her and

claim her. To have her squirming beneath him, to savor her tenderness and innocence.

He had never gone that far with Isabella, so he didn't know how addictive sex could be after sleeping

with Natalia.

“You have me in your heart.” Magnus was surprisingly certain about Natalia's feelings.

Before she could argue, he lowered his head to kiss her deeply. Natalia quickly pushed against his

chest, her face flushed, "Stop it, if you're not going to work, let's return to the room. I can give you a

massage."Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She was already worn out by Magnus this afternoon. If they did it again, she wouldn't be able to get out

of bed. So Natalia felt a sense of panic, afraid that Magnus would continue disregarding her

exhaustion.

"Alright, let's see how much you've learned." Magnus laughed and gently stroked her nose with an

indulgent tone.

Even though Natalia's massages always hurt him a bit, he endured it to make her happy.

So the two of them went upstairs to their room. Compared to her previous simple muscle massages,

Natalia's technique was more professional this time. She even followed a specific sequence,

massaging several pressure points on Magnus' legs.

The stimulation made Magnus want to move his legs. But to prevent Natalia from discovering he could

stand, he had to grit his teeth and pretend not to feel anything.

Natalia grew suspicious as she watched Magnus sweating profusely on the special massage blanket.

"Are you sure you can't feel anything?" she asked. Seeing Magnus' strong, muscular legs, it seemed

impossible that he couldn't stand.

Considering the cases she had seen before, they usually involved patients with some degree of muscle

atrophy in their legs. But the muscles in Magnus' legs looked well-developed, clearly showing signs of

regular exercise. However, he claimed he couldn't stand up, which was indeed quite puzzling.

Magnus quickly denied it. "If I could stand, would I be sitting in this wheelchair, letting people call me

useless?"

Hearing this, Natalia felt guilty. "I'm sorry, Magnus. You're not useless to me. Even if you can't stand,

you're not useless. You're the best."

She couldn't bring herself to say it, but in her heart, she felt grateful for him because he was the only

one who didn't blame her for being a substitute and had protected her so well. He also didn't make

things difficult for the Clarkson family.

Natalia knew that the person who always called Magnus useless was his brother, Lucius. The last time

she visited the Andersen family mansion, she had seen Lucius. He was indeed mean to Magnus, and

she understood why Magnus wanted to compete with Lucius for Kendra's affection. It was either out of

hatred or family rivalry.

Just like Kendra was to her, Lucius was just as ruthless. It was surprising how family members could

turn against one another over family disputes.

Seeing Natalia's teary eyes, Magnus sat up and gently pulled her into his arms. "Are you feeling sorry

for me?" he asked.

The last time at the mansion, Natalia had stood up for him despite Lucius' fierce demeanor. It was the

first time that a woman had protected him. It didn't feel as bad as he had imagined; in fact, it made him

very happy.

However, Natalia didn’t answer Magnus' question. She simply leaned into him, nodding her head in

agreement. This made Magnus chuckle, "Silly girl, I couldn't care less about what a scumbag like

Lucius says. Even if I were to lose my legs, Lucius wouldn't stand a chance against me."

With that, Magnus lowered his gaze to Natalia, who was nestled against his chest, her eyes still

reddened. Afraid that she might burst into tears, Magnus purposely changed the subject. "Your final

exams went pretty well. You didn't disappoint me. So, tell me, what reward would you like?"

Because of their marriage, Natalia hadn't been at school for quite some time. Magnus had assumed

that even if she returned to school for the exams, her grades would inevitably plummet. But to his

surprise, after only a short time back at school, Natalia had managed to catch up on all her missed

studies.
