The maid hurriedly lowered her head, “But Mr. Magnus is not in a wheelchair, and there is no
wheelchair when he gets upter.”
Linden knotted his brows, “Get back to your work.”
Once the maid had left, Linden immediately pushed Magnus‘ wheelchair gently towards the room.
When he saw the two on the bed, he was taken aback. He quickly set the wheelchair in ce and
retreated.
After a while, Natalia opened her eyes to see a handsome face in front of her. She was momentarily
stunned, recalling the man’s words from the night before, “We’ll have to get used to sharing a room”
She felt a rush of heat to her ears and looked up at the man’s sleeping face. Wasn’t he always an early
riser? Why was he still asleep? She studies his smooth skin, his handsome features and his eyes
closed with long, thickshes God, he was even more attractive than most women.
His lips were thin, and some said men with thin lips were heartless. Was he heartless?
Recalling the times he had forcefully kissed her without her consent, she blushed, gently removed his
hand, and attempted to slip away. Therge hand on her waist tightened abruptly. “My dear, you’ve
been staring at me for quite a while now. What are your thoughts?”
Startled, Natalia pushed against his chest to back away. “I wasn’t staring I just wanted to get up.”
With a swift movement, the man pulled her back into his embrace, flipping over to pin her beneath him
Natalia let out a surprised yelp. “Magnus, what are you doing?” Why was he on top of her again?
Weren’t his legs supposed to be numb?
“Sneak a peek and then run away? What do you think I should do, darling? Maybe we should do
something more intimate?” His deep, dark gazes bore into hers.
Natalia tensed up, feeling something hot pressing against her lower abdomen. Boom! It felt like her
brain had exploded. What was he nning? “I… I’m not your wife. Get off me I’m not ready yet!” She
blushed as red as an apple, pushing against the man atop her.
“Not my wife? Then who are you?” His eyes locked onto hers. Natalia froze, lifting her gaze to meet his.
His handsome face was stern.
“What else do you need to prepare for? You re my wife We haven’t done what married couples do.” He
intentionally pressed his lower body against hers.
Natalia’s heart pounded against her chest. She was still uncertain about what happened that night.
Was this man really about to sleep with her? If the man from that night wasn’t him, then how would she
tell him she had been vited?
Summoning up her courage, she locked her eyes with his, “Magnus, even though I married you, sex
between a man and a woman should be natural. If you force it when I’m not ready, I… I’ll be
traumatized!”
Magnus stared at the woman beneath him. Traumatized? Was she referring to the trauma from that
night? He pushed off with his hands and sat up, hopping onto his wheelchair by the bed and sliding out
of the bedroom.
Seeing the wheelchair disappear, Natalia quickly got up and ran into the bathroom. Her heart was
racing. This man was constantly flirting with her When she didn’t reciprocate, he got angry. Hmph!
After getting dressed, Natalia went downstairs to see the man sitting elegantly on the sofa. There was
another man there, probably in his forties, wearing a warm smile. Upon seeing her descend the stairs,
he immediately stood up, “Good day, ma’am. I’m Linden, the Andersen family’s loyal butler Mr. Morgan
has sent me to fetch you and Mr. Magnus back to the manor for his 80th birthday celebration.”
Natalia nodded, then turned to look at Magnus, who hadn’t spared her a nce, his attention on his
tablet. Regardless, since the elders had sent someone to fetch them, she couldn’t refuse. That would
be seen as ack of manners on the rkson family’s part.
“When are we leaving?” She asked Magnus.
He didn’t look up from his tablet, “You go ahead. We’ll join you for dinner” He was addressing Linden.
“Very well. I’ll take my leave now.” Linden nodded at Natalia and exited the living room.
Natalia turned her gaze to the man on the sofa, “Are we really going back?”
He set down his tablet and patted the seat next to him, “Pack your things. We’re going to the Andersen
Family Estate tonight and will stay there for three days. Bring what you need. I have a change of
clothes there, so just pack your own things.”
Natalia sat next to him, deep in thought, “Going back to celebrate Grandpa’s 80th birthday? I have to
go, right?”

“Yeah, of course. What are you afraid of? You’re my wife. Just stay by my side” He noticed her evasive
gaze and a hint of a smile appeared on his
lips
“Alright, I’ll go pack Sooner orter, the truth woulde out. She didn’t expect it to happen so soon.
She knew that once she got to the Andersen family’s ce, they’d find out she wasn’t her sister.
Without having any food, she got up and went upstairs, the man’s piercing gaze on her. He was
thinking, “Natalia, I’m giving you a chance. If you tell me the truth, I can find a way to prevent Grandpa
from punishing you.”
But the girl just went upstairs, leaving Magnus staring coldly at the slowly closing elevator doors.
Once upstairs, Natalia stood on the balcony. She gazed at the calm sea. What has toe wille.
There was no escaping it. So just face it head–on. She turned and packed a few clothes and daily
necessities.
At five in the afternoon, Magnus wheeled himself into Natalia’s room, “What’s wrong? You’ve been
hiding away all day, scared to meet Grandpa.

How long do you n on hiding? It’s time to leave, my wife.”
She hadn’t been hiding, had she? And was he addicted to calling her wife?
Outside the vi, on the beach, Linden had already prepared the car. Natalia pushed the wheelchair
over to the car while the servants put the luggage in
Linden helped Magnus into the car, which then slowly left the beach.
Natalia sat in the back seat. The moment the car left the beach, her heart started to race Magnus
looked at the tense woman next to him and sighed, “Don’t be scared I’m here with you Just stand by
my side, okay?”
Natalia turned around, gazing at him in surprise His gazes were soft yet deep, like a vortex She wasn’t
sure how much of his feelings towards her were genuine But given the circumstances, she had no
choice but to rely on his protection. She looked into his eyes and nodded
Magnus reached out and held her hand, sighing as he looked out the window Hisrge hands were dry
and warm as he gently rubbed her palm with his fingertips. Natalia’s ears instantly flushed a deep
shade of crimson
Magnus toyed with her hand, keeping it in his grip all the way to the Andersen Family Estate
Just like their previous visit a line of servants stood outside the grand estate Linden’s car slowly glided
to a halt on the expansive frontwn and a servant immediately approached with a wheelchair
Magnus nced at Natalia’s tense expression, his grasp on her hand tightening ‘Don’t be scared, my
wife,” heforted, ‘I’ve got this
For a fleeting moment. Natalia felt that he had already known that she wasn’t Kendra. His gaze was
sincere, devoid of any mockery or sarcasm
At this moment, a servant opened the car door, eyes filled with respect as he looked at Natalia “Ms.
Natalia, Mr. Magnus Please,e inside
