Chapter 246 

Without a second thought, Magnus abandoned his affairs in Melfort to Chase and hopped on the next flight back to France 

After a thorough interrogation of the villa’s servants, he deduced that Natalia had likely snuck off back to England, so he didn’t hesitate to follow her there 

Well, if she was playing hard to get, he was willing to play harder to track her downt 

Initially, he was fuming when he arrived. He wanted to have a word with his runaway wife, demanding an explanation as to why she could just leave him behind with their child, but when he arrived at her doorstep, all his anger evaporated into thin air And what surprised him even more was hearing Natalia’s words for himself. All his worries had been for nothing She viewed Callum as nothing more than her brother. This was a huge relief and made his painstaking journey all worth the while 

With that he was in such a good mood that he didn’t even mind his son’s comment about his grumpy moods. All he wanted to do was pull Natalia into his arms and express 

his longing for her 

Faced with Magnus imposing figure, Natalia felt a pang of unease. She tried to shrink back into the couch, hoping to conceal herself Noticing Natalia’s small gestures, Magnus couldn’t help but grin. No matter what she did, she easily caught his eye and made him fall for her even harder 

“Um, so, uh, why are you here?” Natalia stuttered out as a greeting, instantly regretting her words. God, why was she so clumsy? Wasn’t this just inviting Magnus to reprimand her? 

Sure enough. Magnus chuckled knowingly. “I’m here to find my runaway wife and child. If I didn’t find you here, where else would I go?” 

Natalia felt a bit embarrassed as she had indeed left France secretly with Jonas. She knew she was in the wrong 

Lexi, who didn’t want to be the third wheel, stood up nonchalantly, picked up her bag, and said, “Oh my. I don’t want to be the glaring light bulb here. I’ve finally made it to England, and I want to make the most of it. I’ll leave you three alone” 

Natalia was afraid of being left alone with Magnus once Lexi was gone. She quickly got up as well. “I’ll go too.” 

Lex pushed her back, disdainfully saying, “What are you leaving for? I’m going to find myself a handsome British husband don’t get in my way” 

With that, Lexi left Natalia’s apartment waving her hand, and saying. “Don’t forget to leave the door unlocked for me if you guys decide to go out. I don’t want to sleep on the 

streets 

“I think you’d better not come back. Go sleep with some handsome Brit!” Natalia teased, feeling a bit betrayed by Lex’s refusal to stay and help 

“Fine then don’t get jealous later bye!” Lexi waved and left, secretly praying for Natalia, hoping she would finally straighten out her feelings 

Once Lex was gone, the atmosphere in the room became a bit tense Natalia tried to make herself as small as possible, hoping to avoid Magnus intense gaze 

But things didn’t go as she hoped. Not only did Magnus not keep his distance, but he also shamelessly moved even closer to her 

Natalia was very anuous Every time Magnus moved closer, she would shift away, resulting in a slow, silent dance on the couch, which left Jonas dumbfounded. Having dummy parents was quite a helpless situation! 

Natalia moved a bit more toward the edge of the couch, trying to maintain a safe distance from Magnus Unfortunately, all her actions were in vain. Anything that caught Mr Andersens attention was bound to be caught 

“Careful” Magnus stretched out his long arm, and with a swift move, scooped Natalia into his arms, and whispered into her ear, “Were you planning on falling off the 

couch? 

Seeing the scene unfolding before him, Jonas screamed internally and decided to find a cooler place to hang out instead of being the third wheel. 

Magnus held Natalia tightly in his arms. Her face was burning with embarrassment. Even her voice didn’t sound like her own, completely lacking any confidence. Let me go. Please let me go 

“I wont if I do, you’ll definitely run away again Magnus didn’t let go, but instead moved even closer, brushing his lips past Natalia’s ear. Waves of heat washed over her Natalia felt like her ears were about to burn off. She covered them with her hands, pleading softly. “Jonas is still here. Don’t do this.” 

“Huh, he has already run off to another room, Magnus whispered enticingly into Natalia’s ear “Wifey, we’ve only been apart for two days, and I’ve missed you so much that i can’t eat or sleep Have you missed me too?” 

Natalia didn’t know where Magnus had learned his sweet nothings from, but hearing them made her heart flutter involuntarily “Stop Im not your wife.” 

Magnus squinted his eyes, leaning in to smell the scent lingering on Natalia’s neck “Really? Are you sure?” 

Afraid that her heart would fall for him again Natalia struggled out of Magnus arms Magnus. I’ve told you many times. There’s nothing between us anymore.” 

“On? Then who do you have something with? Natalia, I heard it myself You only have a brotherly love for Callum” 

“Yes Callum and I indeed have a brother sister relationship But, that doesn’t mean i want to continue what I had with you. Don’t misunderstand me, please hesitate to pour cold water on Magnus 

However her cup of cold water clearly wasn’t cold enough because Magnus didrit gel mad but laughed instead “Darling it’s okay. You can be even harsher: Magnus was certain that after all these years, she and Callum had nothing going on, and his wife still fully belonged to him. He was so happy he felt like he was floating 

kinned Magnuk Seeing Magnus chameless expression Natalia felt like hitting a pile of cotton Yes, she was completely helpless against the thick 

Was she supposed to let him have his way? No she couldn’t go down that old road again, couldn’t leave herself battered and bruised and couldnt lingeri 

With that thought Natalias face regained its aloof coolness She pointed a single finger towards the door Magnus if you’re here to see out son, joute always welcom But if you’re here to ruffle my feathers again, don’t blame me for showing you the dour 

Magnus cracked a grin Natalia, I didn’t come to ruffle your feathers. This is just my instinctual response to you” 

Ainght then Natalia let out a sigh that seemed to reach the sky She’d never won a debate with Magnus
