Chapter 109
The door to her room was flung open abruptly. Then, the sound of wheelchair wheels echoed through
the room.
The minute she heard it, Natalia instinctively knew it was Magnus. She instantly felt flustered, and
hurriedly tried to gather her composure. However, her eyes were red, and her tear-streaked face was
impossible to hide.
"My lady's been crying?" Magnus had already heard from the staff when he returned. Kyler had come
to Maplewood Manor concerning Kendra, causing a big scene, and leaving Natalia upset.
Magnus had suspected something was wrong when Natalia called him earlier. So he hurried back, not
wanting to see Natalia upset over such a trivial matter.
"You already know?" Natalia asked, her reddened eyes looking at him.
She had hoped to keep this incident from Magnus, because his injuries hadn't healed, and she didn't
want him to get upset over the Clarkson family's affairs. But he knew anyway because she had called
to ask about Kendra.
On second thought, it made sense. This was Maplewood Manor. Everyone here was under Magnus'
command. Nothing that happened here could be kept from him.
Seeing Natalia's downtrodden look, Magnus felt a pang in his heart he had never felt before. He
wheeled himself over to her side, pulling her into his arms. "Don't let their heartless actions bother you.
Haven't I already told the staff not to let any of the Clarksons into Maplewood Manor?" He said softly.
"They let Kyler in. I'll deal with them."
Hurting his woman was unforgivable.
And wasn’t Kyler, Natalia's father, ashamed of his heartless actions?
Natalia immediately looked up at him. She stared at him seriously and said, "Magnus, don't punish the
staff. They asked me before they let my father in. It's not their fault. Don't punish them for this, please."
How could the staff be blamed for letting Kyler in? Even if Kyler had just called her, she would have
agreed to meet him. Especially when Kyler went all the way to Maplewood Manor, she couldn't possibly
refuse to see him.
"Your heart is too kind. But do you see anyone else caring whether you're upset or not?" Magnus
couldn't help but soften, hugging her closer.
He didn't say anything, but he was thinking, “Kyler, that heartless man, deserved no mercy for what he
had done today.”
Natalia, who was held tightly in his arms, seemed to have heard his thoughts. She looked up at him
again, saying earnestly, "And please, don't do anything to my father. I understand why he favors
Kendra, and I won't hold their ignorance against them. He has raised me, and I don't want him to suffer
because of me."
Magnus' temper was still a mystery to Natalia. So she could only tread carefully, hoping he would heed
her words. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"What a silly girl," Magnus murmured, his heart shattering when he heard Natalia say, "They don't love
me."
He gently tilted her chin up, and said softly, "My lady, even if the whole world doesn't love you, I will. I
will marry you and grow old with you. I am not them, and I will never leave you."
He had always thought he was the only one who had been betrayed by his own family, but after
meeting Natalia, he realized there were people who had it worse. No wonder Natalia had stayed by his
side, taking care of him despite his harsh treatment. She knew what it felt like to be abandoned and
couldn't bear to do the same to others.
"What did you say?" Natalia asked, clearly stunned. She stared at Magnus, and her eyes were wide
with disbelief.
Just a few days ago, Magnus had confessed his feelings for her, which had already left her in disbelief.
And now, he was saying he loved her. All her sorrow seemed to disappear at his words. Her heart
pounded in her chest. He said he would love her, even when everyone else abandoned her. Those
were his words.
Magnus couldn't help but laugh. He leaned in and kissed her gently. "You truly are a silly girl. I said I
love you. I said we would get married and be together forever. I will never leave you, ever."
Magnus was so serious that Natalia could only stare into his bright eyes. They were sparkling like stars
in the night sky.
She saw nothing but honesty and sincerity. He really loved her!
Tears welled up in her eyes again. She clutched the corner of his shirt. "Thank you, Magnus. Thank
you for loving me, and for giving me a home. Even if you abandon me in the future, I won't blame you!"
No one had ever promised to never leave her in her entire life. Her status was humble, and no one
deemed her worthy. Therefore, Magnus' words struck straight into Natalia’s heart, who had just felt
abandoned by her father, leaving her overwhelmed with emotion.
"Baby, I mean every word." Magnus was filled with agony at Natalia’s tears. He reached out to wipe
them away and softly spoke those words to her.
"Once I've sorted out all these matters, not only will I make up for the honeymoon, but also the wedding
and proposal you missed out on. Nat, I will make you happy, trust me."
He would cherish Natalia. She never abandoned him, even at the brink of death. He would never come
across a woman like her again. She was going to be his one and only in life.
Magnus' deep voice and his sincere promises moved Natalia to tears. At this moment, she thanked
God for allowing her to meet him. She even felt grateful to Kendra for arranging their marriage.
