The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 123

Then, feeling a sense of relief, he decided to carry out the next steps with Natalia here.

Once everything was set, Magnus, under the pretext of having to work overtime at his company, had

the driver take Natalia to the villa first.

Recalling the incident that happened last time they came to this villa, Natalia felt a bit uneasy coming

here alone. But thinking about how this place had witnessed her and Magnus go through life and death,

Natalia firmly insisted on having this villa. She didn't know how many memories belonging to her and

Magnus she could preserve, so she cherished this villa dearly.

"Miss, Mr. Magnus will arrive shortly," Linden, standing beside Natalia, saw her standing at the villa's

entrance, lost in thought. He respectfully bent over and stood by her side, speaking to her.

"Alright," Hearing Linden's words, Natalia turned her head, gave him a smile, and entered the grand

doors of the villa.

Linden led Natalia to the room where the explosion had occurred before.

Perhaps Magnus' previous concerns were justified, saying that she would always feel fear here due to

the accident. Natalia didn't believe him at first, but when she actually walked to the room's door, she

realized she was genuinely scared. The events of the day of the explosion flashed before her eyes.

Back then, she was so scared, fearing that the explosion would take Magnus' life.

If Magnus was in front of her at the moment, she wouldn't hold back and would hug him tightly.

"Miss, Mr. Magnus said to wait for him here. He'll be here soon," Linden said, noticing Natalia standing

there, her face pale. Unlike his usual considerate self, he simply lowered his head, rigidly relaying

Magnus' orders.

"Alright, Linden, you can go on with your tasks. I'll be fine here alone," Natalia responded, nodding her

head. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

She watched Linden leave, his departing figure seemed rushed. Natalia thought, "Perhaps Linden also

harbors fearful memories of the attack."

Thinking so, she yearned for Magnus more. She stood at the door of the room, took a deep breath, and

reached out to push open the doorknob.

"Bang, bang!" However, the moment she opened the door, two firecracker-like explosions rang out.

Natalia, already a bit fearful, was startled by the sound. Her face turned pale, and she covered her ears

and screamed, "Ah!" Her mind was filled with one thought: Had the bastard Lucius started an other

attack?

"Natalia, it's us. Don't be scared," James, holding a party popper with an innocent face, hurriedly

spoke.

After speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Magnus, who was sitting in his wheelchair in the middle

of the room. Seeing the look of distress on his face, James could only think: Oh no, Magnus isn't going

to lose his temper, is he?

Magnus, who had initially opposed James and his surprise attack, saw that Natalia had been startled

by the party poppers. He furrowed his brows and quickly wheeled himself over to Natalia. He grabbed

her arm and pulled her into his embrace. Gently patting her back, he soothingly said, "It's okay, I'm

here."

Natalia, initially shaking from fear, had cold sweat running down her back, almost soaking her clothes.

But when she heard Magnus' voice, she looked up at him. Her eyes were slightly red as she asked,

"Magnus, weren't you at the office? How come you're in the room? And what was that sound just now?

Wasn't it a gunshot?"

Curious, Natalia turned around and saw the party popper confetti all over the floor and James and

Chase each holding a party popper at the door. She then realized what that sound was. She couldn't

help but blush a bit.

She had screamed quite loudly just now. Magnus and the others must have heard and would probably

tease her for being scared later.

"I came here earlier. I wanted to give you a surprise, so I had Linden say I was at the office," Magnus

said, seeing Natalia's slightly pale face. He felt a pang in his heart. He no longer cared for the process

he and James had planned earlier and directly spoke these words.

If he had known that James' surprise would scare his girl, he wouldn't have agreed to hide in the room.

"Surprise? What surprise?" Hearing Magnus' words, Natalia widened her eyes in question. She

remembered that there hadn't been any particularly noteworthy events recently. So, what could be the

cause for a surprise celebration?

"Just..." Magnus reached out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear. He was about to explain

when James, standing beside them, abruptly interrupted. "No, Magnus, don't just blurt it out like that.

Have you forgotten what I told you?"

Magnus no longer cared about James and Chase's antics. He didn't want his lady to worry. He took out

a booklet from his pocket - the divorce papers between him and Kendra. "Darling, I've divorced Kendra.

The paperwork was done yesterday."

Natalia stared wide-eyed at the booklet in Magnus' hand. She took it from him in a daze, staring at the

words 'divorce certificate'. Her heart was in turmoil.

He got divorced; he really divorced Kendra.

Then, Magnus took out a crimson box, gently opened it to reveal two glittering diamond rings.

Natalia's mind was still reeling from the divorce papers when she saw the man holding the rings. His

fiery gaze, locked onto her face, was as intense as a flame. His voice, low and sultry, slipped from his

lips, "Marry me, Nat."

The words were soft but they exploded in Natalia's mind like a thunderclap. He was proposing?

Indeed, it wasn't a dream. Although they had shared countless passionate moments in bed, they were

never a married couple. But now he was divorced, and he was proposing to her.

He truly loved her! Her eyes filled with tears, and before she could even respond, she saw the man

impatiently sliding the ring onto her finger.

She hadn't even said yes yet, had she?
