The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 130

Lexi caught the flicker of loneliness in her eyes and remembered something important. She dialed

Magnus' number.

"Mr. Andersen. Natalia seems to really want to see you. Maybe it's time for you to make an

appearance." Lexi was eager to share this good news with Magnus.

Magnus, who had been waiting for this call, quickly hopped into his car and drove off to see Natalia. He

didn't want to waste a single second. In fact, he had been watching her from outside her hospital room

every day, only leaving when he saw that she was happy.

He had been busy with work and dealing with Lucius' affairs. Plus, the shock of him suddenly standing

up from his wheelchair had caught everyone off guard, especially Morgan, who nearly fainted from joy

when he found out his legs were healed.

He wasn't sure how fast he was driving, only that he made the long journey in just ten minutes.

"Natalia. Look who's here!" Behind Lexi appeared a familiar figure Natalia had been longing to see.

Yes, it was Magnus. He had finally arrived.

Natalia was both happy and angry. He hadn't visited her for such a long time. She turned to leave, but

Magnus quickly grabbed her arm.

"Sweetheart, are you still mad at me? You still won't forgive me after all this time?" He gently pulled her

into his embrace, "Nat, I've missed you. I've missed you every single day. Don't you miss me?" The

Magnus before her was displaying a level of tenderness and patience she had never seen before.

He watched her, her long eyelashes trembling like a feather, stirring his heart. He felt a warmth bubble

up within him. Damn, he wanted her. He had to resist the urge to kiss her.

Natalia was moved. She slowly looked up at Magnus, noticing his thin and haggard appearance. His

stubble was visible. She felt a pang in her heart. How could he not take care of himself?

Natalia was touched, but she couldn't get past his deception. She didn't understand why Magnus had

kept his recovery a secret. "Magnus, we both need some time to cool down and think about whether

we truly belong together." She wanted him to give her an explanation.

"My love, what are you saying..."

Natalia didn't respond, gently pushing him away and returning to her room.

Magnus stood there, his heart breaking as though something had crumbled within him. He had

deceived her for so long, but it wasn't intentional. He was just afraid of losing her.

"Natalia, are you really not going to make up with him? He's been so good to you." Lexi asked, her

innocent eyes widened. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Lexi, some things aren't as simple as you think. I don't think he loves me." Natalia replied, her eyes

welling up with tears.

"Not love you? How could he not love you? When you were sick, he stood by your bedside without

eating or moving. He even avoided you for a few days because he was afraid you'd be angry with him.

But he was always watching you from afar. He specifically asked me to tell him when you were feeling

better. And look, as soon as I told him, he rushed over here. You should know he's the CEO of

Andersen Corporation. And it's such a long way from here, he must care a lot about you." Lexi rambled

on.

After hearing Lexi's words, Natalia fell into deep thought. "I... It’s not that I don't not forgive him. It's just

that I've been massaging him like a fool for so long, and his legs were actually fine. I just get angry

thinking about it."

"Natalia. Don't be angry anymore. Let's go learn to drive tomorrow. My dad said that once I learn to

drive, he'll buy me that cool sports car I've been eyeing for a long time." Lexi blurted out, tugging at her

skirt.

"Me? No, thanks. I'm not really interested in driving." Natalia replied.

"Oh right, of course, you don't need to. You can just order your CEO around. He'll be your personal

chauffeur. I can't do that. Well, I want to go learn to drive. Then I can take you for a ride."

"Let's go." Before Lexi could finish, Natalia suddenly changed her mind.

"I'm not relying on him to be my driver. He doesn't love me that much." Natalia thought, her heart in

agony.

"I heard the instructor at that school is super handsome. Let's go check it out tomorrow, haha." Lexi's

expression was simply too funny to ignore.

"Okay, whatever you say."

After Natalia was discharged from the hospital, the two decided to get their driver's licenses over the

summer break.

The next morning, they arrived early at the driving school. Unfortunately, Lexi's dream shattered when

she was assigned a middle-aged instructor. Watching Lexi mope, Natalia couldn't help but laugh

harder.

"What's so funny?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Natalia's laughter froze on her face. It was the voice she had been longing

to hear.

Why was he here? Looking at Lexi, she realized it was a setup.

But then, "Hello, I'm your instructor, Magnus." He walked in stride in the sunlight, his suit pants

wrapped tightly around his long legs, and he smiled like high school boy.

She finally understood why Lexi had insisted on learning to drive. Blushing, she introduced herself.

"Well, I'm Natalia."

"Great, from now on, I'll be your personal instructor. Feel free to ask me anything you don't

understand."

"I do have something to ask."

"What?"

"Can I change instructors?"

"No."

"Then I have no questions."

Magnus was both exasperated and amused by the sharp-tongued girl before him. He coughed to hide

his laughter. "Alright, let's get in the car, my dear."

It had been a while since Natalia had heard that endearing term. She felt a prick in her nose and turned

her head away. She really missed him.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Magnus gazed at the woman he had longed for for so long. He was

momentarily lost in her.

"Nat, I've missed you so much. Can you forgive me?" As Magnus watched Natalia's pale hand grip the

steering wheel, a jolt of emotion surged through him.

"Dummy, don't you know you should fasten your seatbelt when driving?" Without waiting for a

response, he leaned over and buckled her up. His warm breath brushed against Natalia's face, causing

her cheeks to instantly flush a deep shade of red.

No, she thought that she was still mad at him. She needed to stay strong. Hmph! Natalia consoled

herself with this thought.

The car began to move slowly. However, Natalia couldn't control the speed at all, and the car was

heading straight for the gate.

Natalia screamed in terror. Magnus stepped on the brake, his laughter echoing in the car, giving him an

irksome yet charming air.
