Chapter 333


    Callum doubled over withughter, but it only served to fuel Lexi’s anger. “How outrageous! How can


    anyone be this stupid? It’s one thing to deny it, but to lie too, that''s just despicable!"


    "No, no, darling," Callum chuckled, producing a phone from his pocket. "This is the phone that sent the


    text. If you don''t believe me, just give it a call."


    Lexi shot Callum a nce, picked up her phone, and dialed the number from the text. Immediately, the


    phone in Callum''s hand began to ring.


    "What is going on?" Lexi asked, utterly befuddled.


    Callum let out a mischievous chuckle. "My dear wife, you''ve been so busy looking after the babytely,


    that you''vepletely forgotten about me. That''s not fair at all! I sent that enticing text to myself just to


    get your attention. I wanted to see where I stood in your heart. Now I see, you can get jealous, too. It


    seems I still upy some ce in your heart."


    Lexi''s face turned a shade of crimson. She hadn''t expected Callum to be this petty. He really was out of


    his mind.


    Continuing with his charade, Callum said, "Darling, I am the Wildcat, waiting to spend a passionate


    midnight with you. Would you care to join me in a bit of ''Afternoon Delight’ first?"


    Lexi was taken aback. Not only was Callum shameless, but he also had the cheek to say such things in


    broad daylight,pletely unashamed!


    She lowered her gaze, her face flushed, and murmured, "Who wants to have an ''Afternoon Delight''


    with you? Keep dreaming!"


    Callum wrapped his arm around Lexi''s waist and said with a passionate look in his eyes, "But I''ve been


    longing for you so much, darling. Won''t you indulge me a little?"


    "Stop it!"


    Lexi yfully scolded Callum. Her shyness appeared to him as an irresistible invitation. He took her


    into his arms and nted a longing kiss on her lips.


    The scenery outside the window was just perfect, and the warm breeze wafting in through the open


    window carried an intoxicating fragrance. Just as they were about to enjoy their long-awaited passion,


    the baby in the crib let out a loud cry.


    Lexi immediately pushed Callum away. "The baby''s awake. Get up!"


    Reluctantly releasing Lexi, Callum grumbled, "This little rascal did this on purpose, I swear. Wait till he


    grows up, I''m going to spank him!" He awkwardly adjusted his trousers and joined Lexi in checking on


    the baby.


    As Lexi began to nurse the baby, Callum couldn''t help but stare at the sight before him. He swallowed


    hard, his eyes glued to the baby nursing contently.


    "Darling…" he moved closer to her, his hand reaching out to touch Lexi''s other breast. "I want some


    too…"


    Lexi''s face turned beet red. "Back off!"


    However, like a stubborn piece of bubblegum, Callum clung to Lexi, and to her surprise, he did manage


    to have a taste.


    Lexi wished she could disappear into the ground, but she heard Callum smacking his lips. "So sweet,


    no wonder the little fe stops crying as soon as he starts feeding!"

    The azure sky was as clear as crystal. A small private ne was steadily cutting through the fluffy


    clouds, heading towards Rome.


    Inside the cabin, Magnus was filled with anticipation for his trip to Rome. In no time, he would be at the


    For the sess of this trip, James had put all other matters aside to y the role of Magnus''


    bodyguard, apanying him to Stitches Fashion in Rome.


    "Magnus, we''ll be in Rome in less than half an hour." James raised his ss in a toast. "Cheers to a


    sessful meeting with Natalia!"


    Magnus seemed in good spirits, raising his ss in response. "Of course, I''ll be seeing my wife soon.


    I''m confident that this designer is my Nat. I feel a bit nervous, like a greenhorn."


    His statement elicitedughter from James. "Ha, Magnus, if Natalia knew how nervous you are now,


    she''d definitelyugh at you." It had been long since he''d seen Magnusugh this freely.


    "Then let herugh," Magnus said tenderly, his gaze shifting to the window. Looking at the clouds


    floating outside, he seemed to see Natalia''s intoxicating face.


    James, seeing Magnus lost in thought, decided not to interrupt. He turned and headed towards the

    cockpit to urge the pilots to speed up. After all, Magnus was eager to arrive.


    The scene at Stitches Fashion, meanwhile, was chaotic. Thepany''s owner, a man named William,


    was in his fifties, plump and rosy-cheeked, always sporting a jovial smile.


    William had originally owned a small clothing workshop, which gained poprity due to its affordable


    and high-quality clothes, earning him his first fortune.


    Riding on the sess of his business, William had registered a clothingpany. However, once the


    a different ballgame, and he found himself struggling.


    In no time, William''s first fortune was depleted. His clothes, with their outdated styles, failed to attract


    younger customers. Thepany was on the brink of bankruptcy.


    At this critical juncture, Natalia joined thepany. Her arrival rejuvenated thepany with her


    trendy women''s fashion designs, each one bing a bestseller, with demand often outstripping


    supply.


    Natalia had saved thepany from near bankruptcy. William was immensely grateful to Natalia,


    almost treating her like a goddess.


    William was surprised when Natalia declined his offer of a portion of thepany''s shares, stating that


    it was her duty as a designer. Then, Nataliaid out her terms, she would handle thepany’s design


    drafts each month for a standard in-house designer’s sry. Her only stiption was that her identity


    had to remain a secret.


    This request from Natalia struck William as rather odd. These days, designers were usually after fame


    or profit. Who''d hide away, afraid of their work being seen by others?
