Chapter 145


    A sudden realization hit him. That was right, he had danced with Isabest night! But as far as he


    could recall, they hadn’t crossed any boundaries, had they? Could it have been an unintentional touch?


    He washed off the lipstick mark with disgust.


    His mind shed back to his wife, Natalia, sobbing beneath him, looking so heartbroken. She must


    have seen the lipstick mark. Damn it!


    His eyes turned cold.


    Magnus tried his best to wash off the lipstick trace, disgust written all over his face. No one but Natalia


    had any right to mark him.


    Isabe! Had he been too nice to her that she dared to touch him?


    Having dealt with the lipstick mark, he quickly got dressed and rushed downstairs, but Natalia was


    nowhere to be found. His pace quickened, his voice echoing through the mansion, Linden? Linden?”


    Linden, the butler, approached with a bow. Yes, Mr. Magnus? How may I assist you?”


    “How did I get homest night? And have you seen my wife?”


    Linden shook his head, “Last night? I’m afraid I don’t know. I went to bed before you returned. As for


    Mrs. Magnus, I haven’t seen her. I assumed you both were still resting after thete–night party.”


    A sense of unease washed over Magnus, and he quickly rushed upstairs. He opened his closet, only to


    find Natalia’s suitcase missing, along with all of her clothes. His heart dropped. He frantically searched


    the room, finding her personal belongings all gone, except for the clothes he had gifted her and the


    ck credit card he had given her, lying dormant in the drawer.


    Had she left him? Where could she have gone?


    This realization sent Magnus into a frenzy. He immediately dialed Natalia’s number, but it was off.


    He recalled spending the previous night with his friend, Chase, and decided to call him. As soon as


    Chase picked up, Magnus began, ‘Did you bring me homest night? Where’s my wife?”


    “Natalra? She’s at home. We both helped you to your roomst night.” Chase replied. confused.


    Magnus closed his eyes. “Where is she now? And was she upsetst night?”


    “Upset? I don’t think so.” Chase sounded puzzled, “Did you get into some troublest night?”


    “Stop with the crap, Chase. Just tell me what happenedst night. Natalia is missing.” Magnus


    snapped.


    Something must have happenedst night that he wasn’t aware of, something that must have upset


    Natalia. He remembered her sobbing, and yet he didn’t hold back in bed.


    Damn it, he felt as if he had been druggedst night


    When Chase heard that Natalia was missing, he quickly recounted the previous night’s events, You


    insisted on drinkingst night, and you got so drunk that you could barely walk. You danced with


    Isabe and she even tried to seduce you, but I managed to stop her. I drove you home afterward


    Chase paused, “Good thing I got there in time, or you would have ended up with Isabe, and Natalia


    would never forgive you. I even wiped off the lipstick mark from your face, so she wouldn’t see it.


    Hearing Chase’s ount, Magnus took a deep breath. Isabe, she really crossed the line!


    The lipstick mark was thest thing on his mind. He realized Natalia must have seen the mark on his


    chest, which was why she was so upset. His heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible fist.


    Natalia must have been heartbroken


    Magnus was silent for a moment, before finally speaking, Chase, find out if Natalia has left Melfort


    She’s missing, and she must be upset”


    Chase was taken aback, “What? Natalia left Melfort? Why? Wasn’t everything finest night? Isabe


    didn’t seed in her ns.


    Magnus curtly replied. “You better start looking instead of gossiping like a woman. The consequences


    of Natalia being upset are unthinkable,”


    hung up


    Staring at his phone in disbelief, Chase couldn’t help but feel wronged. He had been dragged into a


    married couple’s quartet. But thinking about Magnus stern expression, Chase resignedly pulled out his


    phone and instructed his men to investigate Natalia’s whereabouts


    Soon, his men reported back There was a flight to France in half an hour, and Natalia had bought a


    ticket for that flight


    Originally, Natalia and Lexi bought ne tickets for 6 30 in the morning, but due to heavy smog, they


    changed to 11 00 in the noon. Now, Natalia and Lex could only take the 11 o’clock flight to France.


    There was still half an hour before the ne took off


    Chase’s heart dropped This was worse than he had anticipated. He immediately ryed the news to


    Magnus.


    The sound of shattering ss echoed throughout the mansion Magnus had thrown his phone in anger,


    shattering a window. Linden rushed upstairs, worriedly looking at the furious Magrius Mr Magnus,


    what’s wrong? Is there something I can assist you with?”


    Magnus looked up, his eyes full of anger. “Yes, get rid of everything in this room” Since Isabe


    touched him and he didn’t take a shower when he came back, everything in this room had been soiled

    inden was taken aback, ‘Sir?”


    What are you waiting for? I was drunkst night, and this room reeks of alcohol. Throw everything out


    Having said that, Magnus hurriedly left the room.


    inden, knowing better than to question Magnus, quickly gathered the staff and had them empty the


    room.


    Meanwhile, Magnus sped to the airport, hoping to catch Natalia before she left. The car roared down


    the highway with Magnus pressing the pedal to the metal, cursing under his breath


    He drunk so much whiskey, and danced with Isabe, giving her the chance to touch him, and then his


    wife was so furious she was about to leave him. He must stop his wife, under no circumstances would


    he allow his littledy to escape from his side.


    The car sped onto the freeway, and Magnus was desperate, wishing he could turn his sports car into a


    ne. This was too slow. He had to get there before his wife boarded the ne.


    But as the saying goes, haste makes waste. The more Magnus was in a hurry to get to the airport, the


    more traffic seemed to pile up on the road.


    Looking at the long double line of cars ahead, Magnus, frustrated, got out of his car and started walking


    briskly forward


    He had barely taken a few steps when a delivery guy on an electric scooter whizzed by Magnus


    stopped him in his tracks, pointing at his parked sports car, “Get off. I’ll trade this with you”
