Chapter 247


    Natalia didn''t scold him. Magnus felt a burst of joy in his heart and asked, “When do you n on


    returning home with me, darling?”


    "Home? Where''s that?" Nataliaughed incredulously. “I haven''t asked you to leave, but I didn''t say I''d


    go with you either. Besides, after I fled from my engagement party, Cal fell seriously ill. I still have some


    things to clear up with him.”


    At the mention of Callum, Magnus felt a surge of anger. Magnus tipped up Natalia''s delicate chin.


    "Darling, don''t test my patience. Especially by calling Callum ‘Cal’ in my presence. It''s too intimate; I


    can''t stand it."


    "Magnus, you''re hopelessly domineering. Not to mention, Cal has been taking care of me all these


    years. Even if we''re just friends, what''s wrong with calling him by a pet name?" Natalia was a bit


    irritated. Magnus was bing more and more overbearing. She regretted not kicking him out earlier.


    However, Magnus was a stubborn man. Once he decided on something, no one could change his


    mind. He quickly changed the topic. “Anyway, it annoys me to hear it. If you insist on calling him that, I


    won''t mind keeping that Brit locked up in the castle forever.”


    Natalia knew he meant what he said, so she stopped arguing about the name. After all, it was just a


    name, and it wouldn''t change her feelings for Callum.


    "Magnus, you''ve seen Jonas now. You can leave. I won''t give Jonas back to you." Natalia quickly made


    her stance clear, vowing never to hand Jonas over to Magnus.


    Magnus smirked, “Will I take him away? No, no, no. How could I take Jonas away? We''re a family. We


    stick together, through thick and thin. Wherever you are, I''ll be there.”


    Natalia just wanted to bite him out of frustration. She wanted to bite a chunk of flesh from him, just to


    see if he dared to continue being arrogant.

    Grinning, Magnus said, “My dear, are you eyeing that piece of meat? Feel free, I promise not to move a


    muscle.” Magnus began to unbutton his shirt, revealing his muscr chest and lean waist.


    Natalia blushed. Could Magnus read minds? She quickly stood up to find Jonas, but her slender wrist


    was caught by a warm hand. “Where are you going, darling?”


    With a gentle pull, Natalia found herself sitting on hisp. Her mind seemed to explode. Sitting on his


    hot thighs, she could feel his warmth even through the fabric. She used to sit on hisp every day, and


    now she was sitting in his arms again and felt her heart racing.


    "Darling, it''s been five years since you''ve sat on myp. Does it feel asfortable as it used to? Hm?"


    His voice was deep and husky, and his hands held her waist tightly.


    Natalia tried to stand up, feeling her body start to soften. The strong scent of his masculinity and his


    restrained desire seeped into her nostrils, making her feel suffocated.


    Magnus rested his head on her shoulder, kissing her swan-like neck. The familiar taste and fragrance


    made him close his eyes infort.


    "Darling, I miss you. Let''s move back to our vi. This ce is too small; let''s give it to Lexi." He kissed


    her neck, moving slowly towards her chin.


    “I... I''ll stay here with Lexi. You can take Jonas home.” Natalia''s voice started to tremble. Magnus was


    too smooth.


    Magnus lifted his head, and his eyes were filled with desire. “Darling, do you think that''s possible?


    Jonas won''t want to leave you any more than I would. Be good! Let''s go home. Okay?”


    Natalia had to agree; the apartment only had one bed. If Jonas stayed, three people would have to


    share it. She decided to send both Magnus and Jonas home for now ande backter.


    Natalia sent Lexi a message saying she was taking Jonas to Magnus'' vi and told her toe back


    and get some sleep.


    Magnus took Natalia and Jonas back to his vi in Ennd. Natalia had been here before, so she was


    familiar with the ce.


    For the first time in ages, Natalia cooked dinner for Jonas and Magnus. She wanted to invite Lexi, but


    Lexi said she was out and didn''t want toe.


    In the end, Magnus and his small family had dinner together. Watching Natalia bustling around the


    kitchen had Magnus feeling a sweetness in his heart.


    Momentster, they all sat down for dinner, a scene he''d only seen in his dreams for years. His wife


    and child were right beside him. What could be more blissful than that? Magnus stared at Natalia and


    Jonas, and his heart was filled with joy that wouldn''t fade.


    After dinner, Natalia cleaned up the dishes, bathed Jonas, and put him to bed. She was about to head


    back to the apartment to check on Lexi, but Magnus pulled her down on the couch. “Darling, this is your


    home. Where else would you go?”


    "I''m going to see if Lexi''s back." Natalia tried to leave but was caught in a warm embrace from behind.


    She was lifted into the air. “She''s grown up; she won''t go missing. Darling, stay!”


    Natalia looked up at Magnus, and his eyes were burning like fire, as if he wanted to melt her reason.


    “Stop... Magnus, let me go.”


    Magnus said nothing, carrying her upstairs and into the bedroom. "Darling, how much longer do you


    want me to wait? Do you know what these five years have been like for me?" He propped himself up


    on his elbows and looked deeply into her eyes.


    “Chase tried to set me up with other women, but it didn''t work. I thought I was broken, but darling, I''ve


    finally woken up after seeing you. Because it recognizes you. Darling…” His voice was deep and


    husky, every word reflected his pain.


    Natalia looked at his pained expression. Her mind uncontrobly wandered back to the past. She knew


    how strong he was. He hadn''t touched another woman in five years! My God. Natalia berated herself


    for thinking of such things.


    Magnus watched as Natalia stared at him. A smile immediately curled at the corners of his mouth. He


    bent down to kiss her striking blue eyes. Her longshes brushed against his lips.


    Magnus felt a heat surge through him as his lips traveled down to meet hers. The familiar sweet scent


    overwhelmed his senses. He showered her with tender, lingering kisses.


    Natalia found herself entirely weak, lost in the kiss. When her blouse was suddenly being unfastened,


    she jerked back in surprise, immediately pushing him away.


    "Natalia, please... let''s give Jonas a real home together. Do you want him to grow up deprived of a


    mother and father''s love for another five years?"


    His husky voice caused Natalia to slowly lower her hands. At that moment, he felt as though the world


    had halted in its tracks. It was as if time had momentarily stopped spinning.
