Chapter 166
Magnus’ mind was clouded with joy. He saw the doctor wheeling Natalia out before he even had time to
react. He looked at Natalia’s pallid face as shey on the bed, and felt a deep regret.
He wasn’t supposed to have sex with her, butst night, he fucked her all night. He cursed himself for
being a beast!
In the hospital room, Magnus tightly held Natalia''s small hand. His palm was sweating.
"My love, we''re expecting a baby." He chuckled. "This is the greatest gift from God. If my grandpa knew
about it, he would be over the moon."

He opened her hand and pressed it against his face. He reached out to gently touch her belly. This was
his treasure. A new life was about to start. He swore to love this child. Their child wouldn’t be like him,
who lost his family’s love at a young age, eventually turning him into this arrogant and lonely man.
"I''m sorry, my love!" He kissed her palm. His heart was melting.
When Natalia woke up, Magnus was sitting there, watching her intently. He saw her open her eyes, and
he immediately took her hand. "Are you okay, my love? Tell me if you want to eat something."
Natalia looked at Magnus'' doting eyes. It was as if she was brought back in time. This man could be so
gentle it was heartwarming, yet he was so temperamental it could drive you up the wall. Natalia
remained silent.
Was she sick again? Oh yes, she had fainted, and she had lost her appetite. He had rushed her to the
hospital again.
"I''m fine," Natalia said casually.
"You''re pregnant, my love. Did you know that? You''re carrying our baby," Magnus said. His eyes were
filled with excitement.
Natalia was stunned. Pregnant? No wonder she couldn''t eat. No wonder she had fainted.
"I''m sorry, Nat. I shouldn''t have been so roughst night. I didn''t know you were pregnant," Magnus
said, filled with guilt.
"I won''t do it again. I promise I''ll take good care of you and our baby. Please, my love, no more quarrels
with me, okay? I want us to make up. Please, don''t be mad at me anymore." He got up from the chair,
sat on the bed, and pulled her into his arms.
The familiar masculine scent instantly filled Natalia''s nostrils. She was feeling a bit nauseous, but the
moment she smelled him, her stomach started to settle.
She smiled bitterly. It turned out she needed him so much. But when she remembered Magnus with
Isabe, her heart was broken into a thousand pieces.
Did she really have a baby? Why did she get pregnant at this time? Whether she and Magnus could
make it was still an open question.
She was actually pregnant now!
Morgan had once told her to bear a child for Magnus, saying she wasn''t yet qualified to be thedy of
the Andersen family. But if she gave birth to this child, could she finally leave?
Magnus saw Natalia''s nk and unresponsive expression, and gently moved her shoulder. "Nat, aren''t
you happy? We''re having a baby." Was she starting to have doubts, just like him?
Was she happy? Of course, she was. But the timing of this baby couldn''t have been more perfect.
"No," Natalia replied faintly.
"Nat, I n to move to Sapphire Ind. It''s quiet and suitable for you to nurture our baby. After the
baby is born, I''ll apany you to America to study. You can study whatever you want," Magnus said,
holding her.
Again, Sapphire Ind. He wanted to confine her to Sapphire Ind. Natalia frowned.
"No, I''ll stay at Maplewood Manor. There''s no need to go to Sapphire Ind," Natalia said immediately.
Magnus looked into her eyes. Maplewood Manor was not a quiet ce anymore. Kendra knew it.
Callum, Isabe, and Hector all knew it. He just wanted his wife to have a peaceful pregnancy, without
any disturbances. Only Sapphire Ind was safe.
"No, my love, we''re moving back to Sapphire Ind. I''ll be with you, okay?"
Natalia''s heart sank when she heard his insistence on moving back to Sapphire Ind,. He wanted to
hide her there and cut off from the world. She smiled bitterly. Did she have a choice?
The next day, Magnus instructed Linden and all the servants to move back to Sapphire Ind
immediately.
When Morgan finally got the news of Natalia''s pregnancy, he stood by the floor-to-ceiling window,
looking out at the blue sky and lost in thought.
Every day, Magnus would drive to the office and then return to Sapphire Ind. Natalia stopped going
to school and was living a secluded life again. She became more silent, spending her days sitting on
the balcony, and watching the sunrise and sunset by the sea. Her heart was as cold as ice.
Callum had called her once. To avoid getting him involved, Natalia told him she was fine and was away
from Melfort for some time.
Callum had tried to find out where Natalia was, but to no avail.
Kendra and Isabe often sent videos or photos to provoke Natalia. Most of the time, she didn''t even
look at them; she just deleted them straight away. Her heart had be numb. She didn''t want to see
those annoying photos.
Magnus was leaving early and returningte as usual. He noticed Natalia growing colder towards him
every day, and it made him feel worse. However, in his mind, mood swings were normal for a pregnant
woman. Once the baby was born, everything would be fine. He would be there for her.
But he never knew how lonely and sad Natalia felt being confined to Sapphire Ind. She didn''t even
contact Lexi anymore.
Watching her belly grow bigger each day, maternal tenderness began to flood her heart. When Natalia
was five months pregnant, Morgan visited Sapphire Ind once. Seeing Natalia''s swelling belly, he
finally smiled. "Just take good care of yourself and give birth to the baby. Then, you can do whatever
you want."
Natalia smiled bitterly. Giving birth to the baby would mean she was allowed to leave, right? She had
known for a long time that this ce was not her home.
That night, Magnus took Natalia for a walk by the sea after dinner. The sea breeze was too cold, so
Natalia did not wear a coat when she came out.
Magnus gently guided her to take a seat. "Stay put, I''ll fetch a nket. It''s quite chilly out here," he
said.
Natalia nodded in response.
As Magnus entered the vi, his phone, which he had left by the chair, lit up. Natalia, out of the corner
of her eye, saw the light and the name disyed on the screen, Isabe. She immediately turned away,
and a pang of pain shot through her heart.
She looked towards the vi, where Magnus had ascended to the second floor and turned on the lights.
Natalia reached out and picked up the phone, swiping to unlock it. She hadn''t intended to do this, but
an inexplicable urgepelled her to read the message.
[Magnus, the party in two days is at the beach club. You muste.] The message read.
Natalia quickly put the phone down and gazed out at the ocean. Her heart was in turmoil, as if a
thousand waves were crashing against its walls. The pain was so intense it made breathing difficult.
She had known what she would find, so why had she looked? What was she hoping for?
He had hidden her away on Sapphire Ind, so he could freely mingle with Isabe. No one could
interrupt them.
Her phone rang. It was a message from Kendra. She didn''t open it, and simply turned off her phone.
Magnus returned with a nket and draped it over Natalia. Hisrge hand clung tightly to her. "My
dear, you''ve been through a lot. Once our child is born, we can go wherever you wish."
"Thepany is now on the straight and narrow, and there''s been no movement from Lucius. I think
when our little one is born, we should have a wedding ceremony and then go on our honeymoon. What
do you say?" Magnus suggested gently.
