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 hispany, had


    the driver take Natalia to the vi first


    Recalling the incident that happenedst time they came to this vi, Natalia felt a bit uneasying


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


    Natalia firmly insisted on having this vi She didn’t know how many memories belonging to her and


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


    “Miss, Mr. Magnus will arrive shortly, Linden, standing beside Natalia, saw her standing at the vi’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 vi


    Linden led Natalia to the room where the explosion had urred before


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


    the ident 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 shed 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 rying


    Magnus orders.


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


    head


    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 nced 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? Howe 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 scaredter


    1 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 nned 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 particrly 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 exin 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 hisdy to worry. He took out


    a booklet from his pocket – the divorce papers between har 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, lucked onto her face, was as intense as a fame. His voice, low and sultry, slipped from his


    lips. “Marry me, Nat”


    The words were soft but they exploded in Natalias mind like a thunderp. He was proposing?


    Indeed, it wasn’t a drearn Although they had shared countless passionate moments in bed, they were


    and he was proposing to her


    trried couple. But now he was divorced,


    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?
