Chapter 252
She stood up from the sofa, moving to a position further away from Magnus, fearing she might be
swayed by his charm again.
As Natalia quietly took her juice to a more distant location, Magnus unleashed his superpower of being
irresistibly charming and moved closer to her with a cunning smile on his face “Honey, shall we get
going?”
“Go where?” Natalia was puzzled. Didn’t they just return to his ce yesterday? The sofa was barely
warm again. Why were they leaving so soon?
Natalia set down her drink, and Magnus looked at her with affection “My love, can we return to Melfort?
After all, this isn’t our home. Plus, you can asionally visit your mother’s grave back there”
Magnus words struck a chord in Natalia’s heart. Yes, home in whem the heart is, and this ce would
never be home for her
“But, Cal’s health hasn’t improved yet, I’m worned if I leave abruptly.
Natalia’s words were cut off by Magnus slender finger ‘Shh Stop calling him that name, it makes me
jealous Darling. I know your feelings for him are just like a sibling’s love, but can you guarantee that
Callum doesn’t have other intentions? It’s better to reject him dimctly than let him live in an illusion. It
won’t hurt him to start a new life.”
“But I’m afraid he can’t handle it, Magnus. You know how well he has treated me all these years. He’s
been my only support How can I be so cruel to him? Natalia lowered. her head feeling upset

She was well aware of Callum’s devotion, but to directly reject him was something she couldn’t do. She
was terrified of seeing the disappointment in Callum’s eyes
“Darling I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you all these years. Trust me, I’ll love you more than Callum ever
could and I’ll be your only support! Also, being a man myself, no one understands men better than I do.
The more you don’t reject him, the more he thinks there’s a chance. It will only make him more
obsessed with you Let him go, let him start his life anew And you, are destined to be mine for life!”
Magnus gazed deeply into Natalia’s eyes. His warm hand gently caressed her cheek. His deep–set
eyes reflected only love and affection
Magnus words was like a punch to Natalia’s gut. Yes, she was always worried that Cal couldn’t handle
it. She gave him hope only to disappoint him again!
Was she really doing the right thing by dragging this out?
Watching Natalia lower her head, Magnus couldn’t bring himself to utter a single word of guilt. He
gently embraced Natalia. “Honey, go rify things with him. Let him let goi of his hopes and start a new
life sooner Shall we leave tomorrow?”
Natalia’s mind was full of thoughts about how to rify things with Callum, she didn’t notice that she
was already in Magnus arms. By the time she realized Magnus had sneakily pulled her onto hisp,
giving her a passionate kiss.
Feeling the heat from Magnus thigh and his undeniable hardness, Natalia’s face turned beet red. She
pushed away and squeaked, “You put me down!” Jonas was still there! As she spoke, she looked
towards Jonas, only to find him covering his eyes with his small hands, peeking through the gaps and
grinning. I didn’t see anything!” He then darted into the room and closed the door.
Natalia’s face turned even more crimson. She immediately pushed Magnus away
“Honey you know, every time I’m close to you, I can’t control myself Magnus didn’t seem embarrassed
at all. His voice was husky and sexy. I’m thinking about doing it again What should I do? His masculine
scent filled Natalia’s nostrils
Natalia was speechless. Was this really the cold and calcting Magnus she knew? Oh, she
remembered he was indeed this cheeky, always making her blush with his
smooth talk
“Magnus, I need to see Cal to see if he’s feeling better and to rify things. Then I’ll go with you Natalia
hesitated for a moment before agreeing to return with Magnus. Because Jonas would go back to
school there, and she didn’t want to leave Jonas.
Magnus was overjoyed “Good, but before we return to Melfort, let’s go to France. I don’t want you to
face a bunch of old acquaintances as soon as you retum. You need to spend some time with me first,
to make up for all the years of longing‘
Hearing Magnus childlike words, Natalia managed a helpless smile She never had any solution for
Magnus persistent charm.
Natalia and Magnus were having a lovey–dovey conversation at their apartment, oblivious to the fact
that Lex was being held captive by Callum in the mansion.
At that moment. Lex had been taking a long bath in her confined room, hopelessly soaking in the water,
and trying to wash herself clean
The cold water had wrinkled the skin on her hands, but she refused to get out She felt utterly tainted
Not just her body but her soul too
And she was powerless to resist, helplessly imprisoned in this ce that seemed morous but was a
living hell. Other than silent sobbing Lexi didn’t know what else she
could do
Suddenly, she heard footsteps outside the door. Lexi quickly got out of the bath, hastily wrapped herself
in a bathrobe, and quietly stood by the door
The door creaked open slightly, and a man’s fout stepped in
Len knew that it must have been the jerk who had hurt her Without a second thought, she grabbed a
brass flower vase by her side and smashed it towards. Caitum, who had just entered the room
Callum had initially wanted to check on Lexi as he heard she hadn’t eaten all day and had been
throwing things around. He stepped inside without a moment’s hesitation, only to be greeted by a
flower vase hurled in his direction by Lear
With his hands outstretched he caught the flowerpot in mid air lifting has hazel eyes to meet the gaze
of the pelite girl standing belone hum
“Why aferit you eatin He slowly approached het cing his hands on her trait shoulders
Lexi swung her hand in an attempt to p him Callum, you better let me go. Do you think Natalia will
spare you when she finds out you have locked
Callum caught Leas oing p and pulled her towards hum pressing her against his chest Then i
