Chapter 79
The more Natalia blushed, the more relentless Magnus became. He set down the papers in his hand
and wheeled his chair over to Natalia. His gaze was direct and unflinching.
Natalia, feeling awkward under his gaze, quickly denied, "It''s not like that. Don''t read too much into it."
All of a sudden, she saw Magnus’ smile as fleeting as a cloud in the sky. His handsome face was even
more charming under the sunset outside the yacht.
Natalia''s heart started to beat wildly as she walked over to him, saying gently, "Your massage is
important. I want your leg to get better soon."
“So that I could aplish my mission!” She thought but couldn''t say it. How could she say something
that would sadden him when faced with such a smile?
She knew she was not the one in his heart. Whether she stayed by his side or not, he didn''t care. If that
was the case, why should she offer her true feelings for a discounted admiration?
"Really?" Magnus looked at Natalia standing there, her clear eyes filled with gentleness, making him
infatuated. A myriad of emotions surged in his heart. This girl was his, and he would cherish her.
He reached out and took Natalia''s hand, pulling her into his arms. Pressing his forehead against hers,
he whispered, "I''m so happy that you care for me, my dear. Once the divorce with Kendra is finalized,

I''ll marry you right away. From then on, we''ll be a legitimate couple, and you''ll have to massage me for
the rest of your life. I won''t allow you to leave no matter what you say."
He feared that she might have mentioned leaving again, so he quickly issued the ultimatum. During his
time with Natalia, Magnus had never felt as happy as he did now. So, there was no way he''d let this
little joy-bringer leave his side.
As for Kendra, the sight of her disgusted him. If it weren''t for his spite against Lucius back then, the
thought of him having any rtion with Kendra would be unthinkable.
Life was kind to him, having sent Natalia his way.
Natalia sat in Magnus'' arms, instantly remembering they were in the hall. "You... How could you do this
again? If the servants see, they willugh." She looked around anxiously, noticing that the servants had
hidden out of sight.
"Where are Chase and the others? Have they left?" She had slept for a while, and they were gone.
Magnus murmured a soft, "Hmm," and continued to kiss her cheek one after another.
Natalia knew he was always like this, holding and hugging her inappropriately in public. His legs were
in such a state. Couldn''t he put in more effort to stand up sooner? Didn''t it anger him to be called a
cripple by Lucius? Or were his legs not a problem at all and had already healed?
Natalia had noticed a few times that Magnus seemed able to stand. But that night, when she was fully
conscious and pretending to sleep, Magnus took her to the bathroom in his wheelchair. This
inconsistency left Natalia confused. Were Magnus'' legs healed or not?
Seeing Natalia''s nervousness, Magnus couldn''t help butugh. He lifted his hand to caress her smooth
face, saying softly, "It doesn''t matter if others see. You''re my wife. It''s normal for me to hold you, and no
one will dare tough. And this time, are you not worried about hurting my leg?"
...
Carter hade home after a long time, and James and the others wanted to hang out with him. But
as soon as Carter left, the n was canceled.
Although Chase and James tried to persuade Magnus to rx a bit, he insisted on staying at
Maplewood Manor with Natalia. He''d been so busytely that he had very little time to spend with
Natalia.
He was upset thest time Kendra took advantage of his business trip and kidnapped Natalia, giving
her a chance to visit Hector again.
Natalia was his woman, and no one had the right to take her away. But it seemed that Natalia didn''t
care much about his legs anymore. Did his deliberate actst night, of standing and carrying her to the
bathroom while she pretended to sleep, fail to dispel her doubts?
Natalia, caught off guard by Magnus'' question, looked elsewhere in a rush, her face flushing. "Your leg
is your problem. If you don''t care about it, what''s the use of me caring?" She retorted, annoyed at his
insinuations.
She eagerly awaited his return every day, hoping to massage his legs, but he was always so busy that
by the time he came home, he was too exhausted for a massage. If he cared about his legs, he would
have them treated long ago. There would have been no need for her to stay at Maplewood Manor,
always ready to give him a massage.
"Ah? You''re seeing it that way now?" Seeing Natalia''s petnt look, Magnus couldn''t help butugh.
Her contradicting words and actions amused him.
He leaned down and pecked her lips before smiling and saying, "Do you now wish that I would never
stand again so you can stay by my side forever?" He teased her.
Regardless of whether he could stand or not, Natalia would never escape him in this lifetime. He was
determined to make Natalia his. Whether it was Hector or anyone else rted to her in the past, this
oue would never change.
"I never thought you''d see it that way. I still hope you can stand up again. No matter what the future
holds, I hope you can stand tall." Magnus misinterpreted her intentions, causing Natalia to quickly lift
her head to rify. Her blue eyes locked onto his imprable gaze.
Natalia''s heart fluttered wildly in her chest. Only when she saw the slight smirk on his face did Natalia
realize that Magnus was once again teasing her. At that, Natalia''s brows furrowed together. She
grumbled internally, “This jerk. He''s really pushing it!” She knew he was smart and cunning, but did he
really have to tease her until she was spinning in circles every single time?
Just a single sentence was enough to make Natalia anxious, and Magnus couldn''t help butugh.
Pulling her closer, he chuckled. "I know you didn''t mean it that way, baby. I can tell that you truly care
about me and want the best for me."
