Chapter 168
With a sudden burst of tears, she clutched her belly as a sharp pain shot through her. She quickly
focused her attention elsewhere. “I’m sorry, baby. Mommy shouldn’t be crying. You have to be good,
okay?”
Natalia held her belly, trying to clear her mind and forget about the photograph. She gently turned off
her phone, closed her eyes, and settled into the chair on the balcony.
In the middle of the night, Magnus returned to Sapphire Ind, a shadow of his usually vibrant self. He
walked into the bedroom, only to find it neatly made and empty. His heart lurched. Where was she?
Immediately, he went to the study, pushing the door open.
Bathed in moonlight, he saw her lying on the small bed in the study. She looked like a small,
abandoned kitten, lying on her side with her hands resting on her belly
Magnus watched her silently. The lingering effects of the drug, which hadn’tpletely worn off,
suddenly red up again. He bent down and kissed her lips. He tasted her sweetness and pulled her
into his arms to savor her unique sweetness. Her scent was his ultimate weakness. Dammit, he wanted
her She was already more than five months pregnant. If he was gentle, it would’ve been alright. As he
thought this, Magnus continued to kiss her
Natalia woke to him kissing her and immediately remembered that he had kissed Isabe not long ago.
She quickly pushed him away, feeling a wave of nausea. She rushed into the bathroom and started
throwing up.
Magnus watched as she retched. His handsome face grew darker and darker. She disliked him so
much that just kissing her would make her throw up like that?
When he saw Natalia emptying her stomach, he got up and silently went to pat her back. Natalia turned
around and coldly pushed his hand away “What’s the matter, Magnus? Didn’t you get enough of kissing
Isabe tonight? Now you want to kiss me, a pregnant woman?” She said, her voice sounding icy far
the first time.
Magnus was taken aback. His anger was threatening to explode. She still thought he was having an
affair with Isabe. Her sarcasm made him so angry he wanted to tear her apart
Natalia was so ungrateful. In order not to hurt her, he had even gone to the hospital to get the drugs out
of his system, yet she still didn’t trust him. Her sarcastic words were so infuriating that he felt like his
lungs were about to burst!
Magnus stared at the girl he had been treating with gentle care, suddenly feeling like she was a
stranger.
His face hardened, and he began to close in on Natalia. “You’re so stubborn. Why won’t you open your
eyes and see how I feel about you? Why do you always think that I am having an affair with Isabe““”
Natalia instinctively backed away until she was cornered. With nowhere else to go, she looked up at
him with a defiant mix of resentment and usation. “Magnus, dont worry. After I give birth, I will leave
That way, you won’t have to put on a show for me anymore!”
Her words filled him with an uncontroble rage. He clenched his fist and swung it at the wall, leaving a
bloody mark.
Natalia was frightened by Magnus‘ outburst, but she didn’t flinch She knew that the punch wasn’t
meant for her but for the wall. Despite being scared, Natalia felt a pang of concern when she saw his
injured hand. She wanted to reach out and check on him, but she withdrew her hand when she thought
about his actions earlier
She didn’t believe she had done anything wrong. She straightened her shoulders and gathered her
courage to confront Magnus Magnus, only you know whether or not you’re having an affair with
Isabe. So you don’t need to exin anything to me
Magnus was on the verge of losing his mind because of Natalia’s usations, He felt helpless in front
of her bulging belly. He struggled to suppress his anger, turned around, and left the room. He stormed
down the stairs and swept the cups on the coffee table to the floor The vi was filled with loud and
scary noise, echoing eerily in the quiet night and causing a numbing sensation in the ears. Following
that, the study room downstairs was also violently thrashed, and all those valuable items had fallen
victim to Magnus’s towering anger
Natalia closed her eyes and cradled her slightly rotund belly, her body beginning to tremble. Don’t be
afraid, sweetheart Mommy will protect you Silently, she walked to her bedroom and gentlyy down on
the bed, closing her eyes and emptying her thoughts. However, the fear within her heart and caused
her to tremble beneath the nket. She could feel wetness on her face and reached up to touch it, only
to realize that she was shedding silent
tears
She had told him numerous times, if he was tired of her, he should simply let her go! What was this
situation now? He didn’t allow her to go to school kept her confined on Sapphire Ind, and limited her
personal freedom. Was it that only he and Isabe could have an unclear rtionship while she wasn’t
allowed even a bit of freedom?
His eyes red, he turned and stormed upstairs pushing open the bedroom door to see a lump beneath
the covers. He was irritated and had murderous thoughts
He detested this kind of life. He missed the days when his girl would act tenderly in his arms Yet now,
she cannot stand him, and that was putting a mildly Even a kiss would repulse her!
He looked at the small shaking figure under the covers His heart ached until it went numb
Enough! She was always crying with a look of utter injustice, as if he hadmitted a hemous crime.
He didn’t do anything wsong – surely, kissing his own wife wasn’t a sin?
This time, Magnus didn’tfort her, instead, he walked out of the room He was so agitated that he felt
like killing someone. He stomped downstars again to see that Linden and May had woken up. They
had heard themotion and knew that something was up. Upon seeing the chaos in the living room
and study, they didn’t say anything, but started to clean up
Magnus, in a foul mood, growled at Linden, Just throw everything away What’s the use of tidying up
with that, he mmed the door and left
The car drove away from Sapphire Ind once again in the deep night. The vi was quiet again.
Natalia opened her eyes, her tears had long since soaked her pillow.
Downstairs, Linden and May instructed the servants to clean up the room. The two went upstairs and
saw Natalia, | her protruding belly, lying quietly on the bed, looking lonely and pitiful
“Ma’am, don’t be sad Being so upset is not good for the baby Please, don’t argue with Mr Magnus
anymore Focus on keeping healthy and giving birth
to the child”
Natalia hid her face in the covers and made no sound
After hearing May’s words she suddenly turned pate. That’s right he was always domineering not
letting her study restricting her freedom, acting brusquely without any consideration and the had no
way to counter himN?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
She had to give birth to the child. She whispered an apology to her unborn child vowing not to be sad
anymore
“Madam, don’t get too angry. Although Mi. Magnut can be irritable he has a very kind heart. Besides
