Chapter 392
Natalia admired Lexi from across the room, thinking just how brave she truly was. If she were in Lexi''s
shoes, she doubted she''d have the guts to go back.
"What happened then?"
"Then?" Lexi''s voice cracked, and tears started streaming down her cheeks again. "Then, I finally saw
a woman walking out of the mansion with my little Mason. She was young and beautiful, but she wasn''t
Rita. I guessed she might’ve been Callum''s new wife. I took advantage of the fact she was alone,
knocked her out, and fled with Mason out of the UK."
"Wowza!" Natalia was thoroughly impressed. "Lexi, you''re like a hero! How did you muster the courage
to snatch your kid back?"
"If Callum imed Mason wasn''t his, why would I ever leave my boy there?" Lexi said, her eyes
gleaming with a mother''s fierce determination. "You haven''t met Mason. He''s like a little cherub. I''d risk
everything to make sure he doesn''t suffer, not even the slightest!"
"Of course, every kid is their mom''s little angel. So, where''s your bundle of joy now? Where''s Mason?"
Natalia was curious about the boy. "Bring him over! I can''t wait to meet him."
"Sure," Lexi nodded, a soft smile on her face. "I left while he was napping. We''ve been ducking and
diving, trying to avoid Callum. When I saw your magazine from Hawaii, I just had to reach out. Natalia,
you''re our only hope now."
"No problemo," Natalia said without hesitation. "Let''s go get Mason. Can''t have the poor mite alone in
some hotel room. Let''s hit the road."
Jumping up from the couch, Natalia was ready to move. Lexi followed suit, and they made for the door.
Jonas, who had been quietly observing the scene, suddenly sprang up. "Mommy, I wannae too! I
wanna see Auntie Lexi''s baby."
"Sure, kiddo. But he''s not so little anymore – and already toddling around," Lexi said with a chuckle,
taking Jonas by the hand as the trio left the apartment.
No sooner had they stepped out than they bumped into Magnus and James, who were hot on their
heels. Taking in Natalia''s hurried demeanor, Magnus greeted her with a dazzling smile. "Darling, did
youe all this way just for me?"
Natalia rolled her eyes. "Could you be any more vain? I''ve got stuff to do; move aside; don''t be a
roadblock."
"Where might you be headed, mydy? It''s wild out there, bad news bears all over. I reckon you''re in
dire need of a dashing and gant personal guard," Magnus offered, thumping his chest proudly.
Natalia couldn''t help but snort withughter. "A guard as handsome as you? I''m afraid my purse strings
are a bit tight for the likes of you, Mr. Andersen."
Magnus sidled even closer, his smile widening. "Wifey, employ me, I insist. I don''t want a dime. I''ll even
follow you around for a shopping spree. All I ask is that you offer a poor lost soul shelter from the
streets of a strangend."
Natalia rolled her eyes again. "Mr. Andersen, for the umpteenth time, stop calling me ''wifey,'' okay?
Besides, if you can afford to shop till you drop, surely you''re not scrimping on lodging. Who are you
kidding?"
Behind Natalia, Lexi chuckled. "Mr. Andersen, you''ve be quite the jester since west met."
Noticing Lexi, Magnus'' surprise was evident. "Oh, it''s you!"
"Mr. Andersen, wouldn''t ''long time no see'' be more fitting?" Lexi shrugged. "Like you, I''m here seeking
Natalia''s hospitality. Though, I''ve already got her blessing. You, on the other hand..."
With that, Lexi hurried ahead. "C''mon, Natalia, I''ve been out a while. I''m worried Mason might wake
up."

"Right, let''s go," Natalia agreed, hustling to keep pace, no longer paying Magnus any mind.
Jonas was dragged along and passed Magnus with a little fist pump. "Daddy, you''ve got this!"
Magnus nodded and motioned for James to follow as they trailed Natalia.
The group made for quite a sight. The stunning Natalia and Lexi lead the way with little Jonas in tow,
and the strapping Magnus and James were bringing up the rear and drawing curious nces from
passersby who mistook them for a family out for a stroll.
After a few steps, Magnus quickened his pace to catch up with Lexi. "Ms. Lexi, why aren''t you cozied
up in Ennd? What brings you to Hawaii all of a sudden?"
And more importantly, why was shepeting for Natalia''s favor? Wasn''t that just asking for trouble?
Lexi gave him a sidelong nce, and her mood remained light. "Just here to have a st for a few
days. Wouldn''t dream of passing up a chance to mooch a meal off the local queen bee, right Natalia?"
Knowing Lexi wanted to keep her business with Callum under wraps, Natalia yed along. "Absolutely,
you''re gorgeous, and your word''sw. We go way back, so what''s mine is yours."
Content, Lexi slung an arm around Natalia''s shoulder and steered her into a nearby hotel.
Watching Lexi''s arm wrapped around Natalia, Magnus was silently seething, wishing he could be the
one at Natalia''s side. In his mind, he grumbled about Lexi''s audacity. What was Callum thinking, letting
Lexi loose like that?
But in Natalia''s presence, Magnus bit back his words, helplessly watching as Lexi whisked Natalia into
the hotel. Why on earth would she drag her hubby to a hotel of all ces?
Magnus instantly bristled at the idea, shadowing them into the hotel lobby. His mind was racing with
fear that Lexi might''ve done aplete 180 and was now out to take advantage of his wife.
James, ever the silent, sterpanion, harbored his own curiosities about Lexi''s sudden
appearance in Hawaii. What a coincidence!
