Chapter 255


    Instantly, Magnus face darkened, pulling Natalia close to him. “Honey, if you dally any longer, we’re


    going to miss our flight. And didn’t you mention you wanted to call Lexi? Did you do it?


    While waiting for their coffee at Starbucks earlier, Natalia had mentioned she needed to call Lexi to


    inform her about their prolonged stay in France. However, because of Callum, she had put it off


    Reminded by Magnus, Natalia’s mncholic expression shifted “Oh, right, I need to call Lexi. She left


    without a word, not even a text, which was quite heartless”


    With that, she started dialing Lexi’s number, but all she got from the other end was the busy signal


    Natalia frowned in confusion “What’s up with her? Why isn’t she picking up?”


    Natalia was so engrossed in her attempt to reach Lexi, that she failed to notice the unease on Callum’s


    face as he stood across her.


    Callum was determined to keep Natalia from leaving, but the mention of Lexi’s name brought back the


    image of the girl trapped in his mansion. He knew he had lost any grounds to keep Natalia here


    With a deep sigh. Callum acknowledged his inability to challenge Magnus for Natalia. At least, not until


    he had sorted out Lexi’s situation, he didn’t deserve to stand beside his Buttercup


    Of course, Natalia was oblivious to Callum’s internal conflict. She pocketed her phone and nced


    apologetically at Callum “Cal, our flight is soon. so.


    Callum averted his gaze Buttercup, I know I shouldn’t keep you here in the UK. But, if you go there,


    could you not ept Magnus too quickly? Il sort things out here ande find you soon


    Natalia gave Callum a puzzled look, not knowing when the usually nonchnt Cal had be so


    bashful, that eyes were even dodging hers


    Could it be that her leaving had hit him too hard?


    Natalia looked guiltily at Callum, trying to reassure him. “Cal, don’t overthink it. I’m only going to take


    care of Jonas


    “Ainght, let’s get going. We’re runningte for boarding” Magnus, unable to bear the sight any longer,


    interjected. A moment more, and his heart would burst out of frustration.


    Magnus briskly led Natalia away from Starbucks, and did not even get the chance to say a proper


    goodbye to Callum


    Watching Natalia leave, a sour taste filled Callum’s mouth. He wished he could p himself


    Drinking had indeed muddled his senses!


    If he hadn’t gotten drunk and acted recklessly, he wouldn’t have to watch his Buttercup being fed away


    by another man today!


    Feeling utterly despondent, Callum drove back to his mansion in a huff, plunging straight into his wine


    cer. He wanted to drown his sorrows, hoping to drink until he lost


    all sense of time. That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about Magnus taking advantage of his Buttercup


    In anotherer of the mansion, Lexiy in bed, too drained to even cry. She had been fasting for a


    day, and despite her stomach growling in hunger, she chose to fight against the brute in this way!


    Even if he had imprisoned her, she wouldn’t bow down to him!


    He was the one who had done wrong so why should she bear the consequences for him?


    Tears welled up in Lexi’s eyes She missed her family and her parents. If she had known that going


    abroad would lead to such events, she would have never set foot outside


    her home


    After a bout of crying Lexi fell into a fitful sleep. She didn’t know how long she had slept before the door


    to her room was forcefully swung open, the noise startling her


    awake


    Lex propped herself up, noticing Callum, the brute who had vited her, walking in


    Callum entered with a bottle of vodka in his hand, swaying unsteadily Seeing Callum’s drunk state,


    Lexi’s heart raced. She was weak, if he decided to do something she wouldn’t be able to escape


    Not if she were vited again, she’d rather die


    Thinking this. Lexi asked fearfully. “What what do you want to do?”


    Callum snickered staggering towards Lexi, who shrieked, “Don’te any closer, or fil scream”


    She had no intention of reliving the nightmare again. She was ready to die rather than let him vite


    her again. Even if it cost her life, she’d make him pay a hefty ancel


    However, Lexi had misunderstood. Although Callum was indeed drunk, he had no intention of viting


    her


    Callum bent down as the strong smell of alcohol was hitting Lexis face. He squinted chuckling bitterly.


    “You think I want to take advantage of you again? i did that, what would the difference between me and


    a beast be? Now I know you’re a close friend of Buttercup”


    Lex’s heart pounded not trusting the words of a drunkard. One moment they were making promises,


    but you wouldn’t know what they’d do the next


    Seeing the warness in Lea’s eyes, the drunk Callum realized the extent of the damage he had done to


    the girl


    Tm sorry I apologize. He murmured an apology, then sat on the floor learing against the bed with his


    bottle of vodka


    His action startled Lexi who watched Callum wanity When she noticed he had no intentions of getting


    up the breathed a sigh of relief


    Seemed like the brute was really drunk She wished he would pass out, then no one would imprison her

    “You know? Buttercup left”


    Callum suddenly blurted out startling Len Her heart, which had just rxed started racing again.


    Who left? Lex furrowed her brows, not understanding Caltums drunken ramblings


    “She’s gone Just up and left with Magnus Callum took a swig of his vodka mumbling in a defeated


    tone, “My Buttercup just left me like that, and i didirt oven have the guts to try and stop her”


    As she listened to Callurn’s low voice. Les finallyprehended the situation Was Natalia gone? Had


    she gone with Magnus?


    It seemed like the young couple. Magnus, and Natalia, had reconciled
