Chapter 163
Chapter 163
Magnus suddenly sat upright, like a king who ruled the world, looking down at Callum with icy hawk
eyes that made one's blood run cold. He gestured lightly, and the bodyguard behind him immediately
stepped forward, "Mr. Callum, please."
Callum stared at Magnus, "Mr. Andersen, are you trying to kick me out? I came here under the
protection and consent of the embassy, and you have no right to dismiss me. Furthermore, I'm
definitely taking Buttercup with me. She's my fiancée."
Callum stood up and declared loudly to Magnus, but his arms were held by two bodyguards who began
to escort him out. He immediately pressed his wristwatch, and several men in black appeared. These
men hadn’t even laid a hand on him before they found themselves on the receiving end of a cold metal
gunpoint.
Seeing over twenty bodyguards pointing guns at him, Callum furrowed his brows. "Magnus, this is
illegal. Let me tell you, Buttercup was mine first. You forcefully married her. And I've found out that your
wife should be Kendra."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was pushed into a car by Magnus' bodyguards which sped
towards the airport.
Half an hour later, Callum's plane traced an arc over the skies of Melfort.
Magnus raised his hand and pressed his temple; the annoying British man had finally been sent away.
He would never allow anyone to covet his wife. This time he had sent him away, and next time if he
dared to come again, it wouldn't be as simple as just sending him away.
After sending Callum away, the unease in Magnus' heart slowly subsided. He didn't even go to the
office, heading straight back to Maplewood Manor.
Upon entering, he didn't see his wife, "Has Natalia not risen yet?"
Linden nodded, "Mr. Magnus, she is upset. She hasn't eaten properly for two days." In truth, Linden felt
quite sorry for Natalia.
Magnus walked upstairs with furrowed brows, first checking the study, finding no one there. He pushed
open the bedroom door, to find a petite woman sitting on the balcony. Her small figure sank into the
chair, as if she could be blown away by the wind.
Magnus walked towards her, crouching down to quietly observe her. Her eyes were fixated on the
horizon, looking so helpless.
Magnus felt as if his heart was pierced by a needle, and it was bleeding. "My baby, I'm sorry about last
night. I couldn't control myself. Please don't be like this, can we go back to how we were?" He gently
held her icy hand.
Natalia finally turned her gaze from the horizon, giving Magnus a cold look. "Can we go back? Magnus,
I thought you were my everything, but what have you done? You didn't let me go to school, and you
took away the pendant my mother left me. You even forced yourself on me."
Natalia's hot tears rolled down her cheeks. Magnus stood up, lifting her into his arms, holding her
tightly. "I'm sorry. I love you, I love you so much. If you want to go to school, I'll send you immediately,
and that pendant wasn't left to you by your mother, it belongs to the successor of Callum's family, and
I've already returned it to him. Baby, I'm sorry. I won't force you to do anything from now on." Magnus
was breathless with pain. He wiped away her tears, holding her petite figure tightly in his arms. He
wanted to meld her into his body, never letting her leave for the rest of their lives.
But Natalia struggled fiercely, glaring at the man whose face was full of pain, "Magnus, can I trust your
words? You claim to love me, yet you flirt with Isabella. Just let me go, Magnus, I beg you. In this vast
world, I only want to live a normal life."
Hearing her words, Magnus felt as if he was struck by lightning. He stared blankly at the girl in his
arms, who was so stubborn.
When had he ever flirted with Isabella? She didn’t trust him anymore. She was determined to leave,
and there was nothing he could do to stop her. He suddenly gave her a cold look, "Are you still thinking
about that British man?" His eyes were aflame, making Natalia's heart skip a beat. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Even at this point, he was still blaming others. Natalia gritted her teeth and looked at him, "Yes, I want
to leave with him, and I want to find my mother."
"Forget about it. If you want to find your mother, I can help you, but you're not allowed to have any
contact with him." He suddenly lifted her by her waist.
Natalia was startled, afraid of falling, she immediately grabbed his neck. Magnus looked at her pale
face, putting her on the bed, closed his eyes, and leaned in to kiss her.
Natalia turned her head, and his kiss landed on her cheek. He didn't mind, continued to kiss her along
her cheek, down to her chin, and neck.
As Natalia resisted his kisses, the man closed his eyes with furrowed brows, "Nat, I absolutely won't
break up with you, nor will I allow you to see that British man again. If you insist on causing a fuss,
forget about going to school. We can just move back to Sapphire Island. I think it's perfect for you."
Natalia was startled again. She stared blankly at the man before her, the man she had once sworn to
love for life, yet now he wanted to imprison her on Sapphire Island. This was the man who professed to
love her.
She looked at him, no longer resisting; she gave up any struggle like a lifeless doll.
Magnus kissed her neck, sensing her compliance. He looked up at the girl, he didn't continue any
further, but simply held her in his embrace.
"My lady, if you were a bit more obedient, I wouldn't have to treat you this way. I'm really tired. Can we
just go back to how we were?" He rubbed her head with his chin.
Natalia closed her eyes in his arms, her mind blank, no longer thinking about anything. In a short while,
she fell asleep.
Magnus stared at the girl in his arms, placed a kiss on her smooth forehead, murmuring in her ears,
"As long as you don’t think about leaving, I won't restrict your freedom."
Natalia, sleeping, seemed to have heard his words; she breathed evenly with her eyes closed.
After a good night's sleep, Natalia opened her eyes the next day, looking at the sunlight outside the
window, and lazily sat up. Just as she was about to get out of bed, the bedroom door was pushed
open, May walked in, smiling at her. "Ms. Natalia, you're awake. Get up and eat. After you're done,
Linden will take you to school."
What? Magnus was sending her to school? Hadn't he insisted on keeping her confined to Sapphire
Island, away from any kind of school?
"You're serious?"
"Absolutely, Missy, you'd best get up. You wouldn't want to be late for school," May replied with a
playful grin.
Natalia quickly got up and headed to the bathroom, changing into her clothes before descending the
stairs. A fancy breakfast was spread out on the dining table. She sat down and helped herself to a jelly
doughnut.
May watched as she ate heartily, then watched her leave Maplewood Manor with her backpack. Only
then did she call Magnus.
"Sir, Miss Natalia has left for school after having breakfast," she reported.
"Hmm." Magnus, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, responded with a slight smile
playing at the corner of his lips.
