Chapter 323


    Lexi hesitated, unable to suppress her longing for her parents. How could they possibly understand her


    situation? And should she really bring Callum back with her?


    With a pleading look, Lexi turned to Natalia sitting beside her. With an encouraging nod from her friend,


    she finally turned to Callum, who had been kneeling on one knee the entire time. "Alright, I''ll give you


    this chance. But this doesn''t mean I''ve epted your feelings. If you''re truly sincere, wait until the day I


    wholeheartedly ept you."


    "That''s great! Lexi, you''re finally giving me a chance to prove myself, this is amazing!" Callum


    eximed, jumping up from the floor. He quickly pulled Lexi into his arms and nted a passionate kiss


    on her lips.


    Lexi tried to push him away, but despite all her efforts, she couldn''t budge him. Callum kissed Lexi


    passionately, careful not to touch her belly, cradling her head gently. His heavy breaths brushed against


    her face, causing a blush to creep up her cheeks.


    After a while, Callum reluctantly released Lexi. "Baby, do you know how much I''ve worried and missed


    you these past few days? Next time, if you''re mad at me, just let me know directly, okay? You have to


    take care of yourself."


    "You''re so shameless; Natalia is still here." Lexi lightly punched Callum and nced over at Natalia,


    only to find that she had disappeared. Natalia was nowhere to be seen, and the door to the room was

    closed. She must have left during their passionate kiss.


    "Natalia? Natalia?" Lexi stepped out of the room and looked around the now empty café. Natalia was


    nowhere to be found.


    "Lexi, I think Buttercup didn''t want to disturb us, so she left. Why don''t you give her a call?" Callum


    suggested, somewhat regretfully, not noticing Natalia''s departure.


    Lexi stomped her foot in annoyance and gave Callum a shove. "You don''t understand! She snuck out


    of Melfort. You have no idea what''s going on. Now Natalia is gone. You have to find her!"


    "What do you mean she snuck out of Melfort? Why?" Callum asked, confused.


    "Ugh!" Lexi was in a hurry, ring at Callum, "Oh my goodness! I just ran into Natalia. I was originally


    persuading her to go back to Magnus. But while we were having a heartfelt conversation, you suddenly


    appeared and said a bunch of weird things. Natalia must have stealthy left as she didn''t want to return


    to Melfort with me. This is all your fault!"


    "No, Lexi, calm down and tell me, what exactly happened to Buttercup?" Callum regretted his earlier


    negligence. He hadn''t noticed any difference in Natalia.


    Now that he thought about it carefully, it seemed that from the moment he saw Natalia, he hadn''t seen


    her smile. On her face, there seemed to be a faint, inconsble sorrow.


    Lexi exined the situation in a rush. Callum listened to Lexi''s exnation, his anger surging. "That''s


    outrageous! Where is this, Isabe? I''m going to deal with her!"


    "I don''t know. The most important thing now is to find Natalia. You have no idea how stubborn she can


    be. Once she sets her mind on something, nothing can change it!"


    Callum couldn''t find any trace of Natalia despite sending people to search for her. Anxious, Lexi urged


    Callum to inform Magnus about seeing Natalia as soon as possible. She knew that the only person who


    could help Natalia was Magnus.


    So, Callum and Lexi set off towards Melfort.


    Magnus had been in a state of despair. Despite having resolved the issues at hispany, he couldn''t


    find joy in his aplishments due to the loss of his grandfather and the absence of his wife. His heart


    ached, and he was in constant pain.


    When he returned to his vi, Jonas would always ask about Natalia. Now, Magnus hardly went home


    anymore, unable to bear the disappointment in Jonas'' eyes.


    Leaning against a leather sofa in his office, Magnus tried to catch a few moments of sleep. James


    entered the room, a tray of breakfast in his hands. "Magnus, eat something."


    Magnus shook his head without opening his eyes. "Just leave it there, I''m not hungry."


    James sighed and left the breakfast on the table. "Magnus, you can''t go on like this. If you don''t take


    care of yourself, you''ll copse before you find Natalia. You just recovered, and you need to take care


    of your health."


    "Don''t worry. I''m fine," Magnus replied listlessly.


    James hesitated, then advised, "Magnus, no one is invincible. You''re seriously going to damage your


    health if you continue like this. If you fall ill, who will look for Natalia?"


    Magnus slowly opened his eyes and straightened up. "You''re right. I''ll eat."


    Just as James was pleased that he had managed to convince Magnus, the office door was pushed


    open. A handsome couple, Callum and Lexi, who had just returned to Melfort, walked in.


    Magnus hadn''t expected to see Callum at his office. He stood dumbfounded, not uttering a single word,


    waiting for Callum to break the silence. He recognized Lexi, who was trailing behind Callum, as his


    wife''s best friend. But why the two of them would show up together? He had no clue.


    Callum, known for his frankness, strode inside. Within a few steps, he was by Magnus'' side, yanking


    him from his leather armchair beforending a decisive punch.


    The force of the punch was enough to make Magnus stumble. He staggered backward a fair few steps


    before regaining his footing.


    The unexpected turn of events left not just Magnus but also James and Lexi in shock. They all were


    taken aback by Callum''s audacity to start a fight on the spot.
