Chapter 135
"It was all Isabella's doing. She deliberately allowed Natalia to see you two acting intimate, causing her
to misunderstand that you and Isabella were rekindling an old flame. I have nothing to do with it."
The woman was really quite dim. A simple scare and she spilled everything. But given Magnus' temper,
he might actually harm her.
After hearing Kendra's words, Magnus realized how out of line he had been these past few days.
He was already married, with such a beautiful and lovely wife, yet he still found himself wondering why
Isabella had left him years ago. He had been so distant with Natalia these past few days because of
that woman. He was a fool! How could he let one woman disrupt his peace of mind.
He could no longer bear it and immediately turned to knock on Lexi's door.
Hearing the knock, Lexi knew that Magnus hadn't left. If he had, that would have been strange.
"What do you want now? Natalia is staying the night here. She'll go back tomorrow." Lexi confronted
the sullen man.
"No." Magnus strode into the bedroom, seeing the girl on the bed.
He uncovered the blanket, picked up Natalia and said, "Honey, let's go home."
Natalia, who was attempting to sleep due to discomfort, was suddenly lifted into the air. "Magnus, let
me go." Natalia started to struggle as soon as she realized what was happening.
"Be good, honey. We can talk about everything when we get home." The man picked up the girl without
any further explanation, and walked out of Lexi's house.
Tears rolled down Natalia's cheeks uncontrollably. She remembered how he had held another woman
just now. "Put me down, I can walk by myself," she struggled.
Magnus didn't say a word. He held the girl and walked towards the car. He opened the car door, put her
in, went to the driver's seat, started the car and drove away.
Kendra watched helplessly as the man walked away, holding Natalia, her teeth pressing hard against
her lip.
Back home, Magnus carried Natalia directly into the bedroom and placed her on the bed.
Natalia, unable to break free from his hold, turned to ignore him, but the man forcefully turned her
around, "Honey, listen to me. That girl is Isabella. She was my girlfriend back in college, just like you
and Hector.
Magnus held the girl, lowered his head to kiss her lips, wanting her to look at him in the eyes and listen
to him.
"That year, when my legs were broken, she accompanied me to Sapphire Island and took care of me
for six months. I thought we would end up together, but she left. I wanted to understand why she left,
because I owed her for those six months.
"Today, I finally understood after seeing her. I told her I was married and have a wife whom I love very
much. She agreed that we would only be friends from now on. Honey, in my heart, there is only you.
You have to believe me."
The man looked anxiously at the girl's face. Her face was pale, she must have thought that he didn't
want her anymore. What a fool!
He held her lovingly, kissing her lips. Natalia, after hearing what he said, finally looked up. Her eyes
were full of tears, "Magnus, if one day you don't want me anymore, just tell me directly. Don't lie to me,
and don't hurt me." Because she would rather face the cruel truth than his beautiful lies.
"Dummy, how could I not want you? I told you, I am your family and your lover. In this life, you can only
be by my side."
He kissed her lips tenderly. He wished he could carve her into his bones. This was his woman, his wife.
How could he not want her?
Natalia, under Magnus' passionate kiss, felt hurt beyond words but couldn't break free from his grip.
Being kissed senselessly, she was exhausted and closed her eyes to sleep.
Magnus noticed her flushed face and her even breath in his arms. He smiled, got up and went into the
bathroom to fix his reaction in the pants.
Kissing her made him want her again. Seeing her sleep soundly, he decided to take a cold shower.
He came out of the bathroom, took one look at the girl on the bed, and went downstairs to prepare
something to eat.
After another hour, Magnus went upstairs to call Natalia for lunch, only to find her face even redder.
He felt something was wrong and touched Natalia's forehead. It was hot. Sure enough, Natalia had a
fever.
Magnus immediately had Linden call their family doctor.
After the doctor came and examined Natalia, he said, "Mr. Magnus, your wife is suffering from stress-
induced fever and a bit of a cold. Some medication will help."
"Well, hurry up and prescribe it then." Magnus growled.
"Right away." The doctor quickly prescribed the medication, left it on the table, and gave a few
instructions on the dosage before leaving.
Magnus poured some water and looked at the girl with her eyes tightly shut, "Honey, take your
medicine. You're sick."
Natalia, in a daze, opened her eyes and looked at Magnus, "I don't want to take the medicine. I don't
want to."
"Be good." Seeing the stubborn girl, Magnus crushed the medicine, mixed it with water, took a sip and
kissed her lips. He slowly fed the medicine to the girl. Natalia, unable to breathe, was forced to swallow
the medicine in her mouth. It was so bitter that she furrowed her brows.
Magnus fed all the medicine to the girl, then stood up, went to the bathroom and got a towel to put on
her forehead.
After a while, Natalia's temperature still didn't return to normal, and Magnus became worried. He went
into the bathroom, washed the towel in cold water, and came back to carefully wipe Natalia's body,
while another towel continued to cool her forehead. He replaced the towel every time it got warm, and
he went back and forth between the bedroom and the bathroom.
It wasn't until midnight that Natalia's temperature finally returned to normal. Magnus' heart, which had
been in his throat, finally relaxed. He fell onto the bed in exhaustion, hugging Natalia as he fell asleep. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
When she woke up, it was already noon. Natalia rubbed her eyes and yawned.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she was startled. Magnus? Why was he here? Why was she
sleeping in his arms? Didn't he go to work?
She carefully recalled the scene from yesterday, where he said he loved only her, wouldn't love anyone
else, and that Isabella was just a friend. She ended up with a fever, and he fed her medicine.
A wave of embarrassment washed over Natalia as she remembered her jealousy-fuelled spectacle
from yesterday. She felt like a petty, green-eyed wife.
She shifted slightly in bed, stirring Magnus from his slumber. Feeling the movement in his arms,
Magnus lazily opened his eyes. "Good morning, my sweet lady," he said.
In her mind, Natalia replayed the scene where Isabella had hugged him, and he didn't push her away.
That alone was proof enough that he still harbored feelings for her. A bitter smile tugged at her lips.
She was deeply bothered by the fact that he hadn't pushed that woman away.
"Magnus, I know I'm not good enough for you," she began, locking eyes with him, her voice icy. "I've
said before, if you ever decide you don't want me, just tell me. I'll leave."
"Darling, what are you talking about?" He furrowed his brows, staring at the woman in his arms. "I've
told you I will never ever abandon you. Don't let your mind wander."
Remembering how he'd hugged another woman the day before, Natalia felt a surge of repulsion. She
pushed him away vehemently, getting up and heading for the bathroom.
