The Imposter Bride Chapter 269

Chapter 269 

Lex sighed quietly, unsure of how to extricate herself from the predicament. Callum was so domineering, so perhaps, she should have shown weakness from the start. 

Just as the thought crossed her mind, Callum, ever the sharp listener, heard Lexi’s sigh. He slowly opened his eyes and addressed Lexi, who was lying in bed. “You awake?” 

His voice was rasp with fatigue, and his eyes were slightly red, probably from staying up watching over her 

Lexi quickly dismissed the sympathy that tried to creep into her thoughts. There was nothing praiseworthy about the overbearing devil in front of her 

She had to reconsider her tactics. This time Lex did not turn her head away. She bravely met Callum’s gaze and murmured, “Yeah” 

Callum noticed Lexis change of demeanor She seemed to have lost much of her hostility and disgust towards him. He liked this change Lexi was finally coming to terms with her situation. 

“Hungry? Should I have Rita whip you up something? Callum asked quietly After losing all that blood she surely needed to replenish her strength 

Lexi nodded and even managed a feeble smile. “Yeah, I am a bit peckish 

Callum was pleased with what he saw A satisfied smile spread across his face “Good I’ll have Rita order the kitchen to prepare something nourishing for you. You’re such a good girl 

Lex despised the term “good girt but she had learned from the recent ordeal that brute force was futile. She decided to keep her thoughts to herself. 

Rita, who had been waiting outside the door for Lexi to wake up was relieved to see her not only awake but also asking for food if only Ms. Lex had complied earlier, she wouldn’t have had to go through all this 

However, Rita genuinely hoped for Lexis quick recovery, so she hurried to the kitchen when Callum ordered food for Lex 

Callum and Lexi were left alone in the room Looking at Lexi’s pale face due to blood loss. Callum expressed his regret. “Im sorry for what happened today. I didn’t expect you to be so desperate to the point of risking your life 

Lex shook her head slowly. I was too impulsive It won’t happen again” 

“Really?” Callum was skeptical The desperation in Lex’s eyes was too vivid to forget 

“Yeah I’ve realized its not so bad. Some women would kill to be kept. I guess I can consider myself one of them, except I don’t have to share a bed.” Lexi tried to joke, but her smile didn’t reach her eyes 

Callum had intended to comfort Lexi, but her sudden change of perception left him speechless. The words, “share a bed caused a strange reaction in him. He remembered the night he claimed her. He was drunk, but her softness and tightness were unforgettable 

This man, who hadn’t indulged himself for over thirty years, finally understood how wonderful that experience was! He frowned inwardly, cursing quietly in his heart, “Shit!” 

Lexi felt a bit puzzled Could it be that her attitude was wrong and it displeased Callum? However before she could understand the meaning behind Callum’s muttered curse. he had already briskly walked out of the room. It was strange. Why did he leave in such a disheveled state? 

Alone, Lexi lay there contemplating the reason for Callums sudden change of demeanor, completely unaware that Callum was trying to conceal his own embarrassment. He had a boner just thinking about that night 

“Shit Callum continued to curse as he left the house Damn it! Just because of two words, he had a boner it must be because he hadn’t been with a woman for a long time! He definitely didn’t miss the soft and fragrant body of Lex! No, he didn’t! 

Soon, Rita brought the cooked meal and helped Lex eat Lexi felt apologetic and said, “I’m sorry for troubling you.” 

“Huh? Rita was taken aback. She never expected someone to apologize to her. After all, she was just a maid. Rita wiped her hands on her apron in excitement and said somewhat embarrassedly “Ms Lexi, as a maid, it’s my duty to do these things. You don’t need to thank me But please take care of yourself in the future and stop playing with your life 

Lexi knew Rita genuinely cared for her and gave her a smile. “After this experience. I’ve learned my lesson. I wont do such things again.” 

“That’s good. Ms Lexi Everyone only has one life, and you mustn’t give up on yourself easily No matter what difficulties you encounter, face them bravely and solve them. You can do it” Rita said a lot in one breath, reciting all those words she often heard on TV 

Lexi’s mood inexplicably improved. She sipped the nutritious porridge cooked by Rita and suddenly felt a sense of acceptance Had she gone crazy? 

Meanwhile, in Melfort, Natalia finally received news from Magnus. His men in the UK hadn’t found any records of Lexi leaving the country 

Natalia was panicked ‘Oh my God, she never left England? Where could she be? Is she alright? What if she’s in trouble?” 

Magnus hugged her trying to soothe her “Darling, don’t worry I’ve sent men all over England to find her. As soon as we find her, I’ll let you know” 

“But I’m so worned, Magnus. With all the craziness happening in the world right now, I’ve heard about so many serial killers in England, my God, what if something terrible happens to Lex if anything happens to her while she’s there, I’d never forgive myself I was the one who let her go to England in the first place,” Natalia said, as her fear 

turned into tears 

Seeing his wifes distress. Magnus felt a pang in his chest. To calm her down, he told a small white lie, “Darling, there’s no need to worry My guys just didn’t find any record of Lexis travels, but it doesn’t mean she didn’t go with a tour group, maybe by ship, you know? If the tour group is big, they sometimes don’t keep strict records 

“Really? Are you sure? Natalia asked, wanting to believe him
