Chapter 158 

Natalia grabbed Kendra’s wrist with a vicelike grip, “Don’t think you can still lay a hand on me, Kendra. I’ve paid back all the favours your family has granted me. Now, get out of here.” 

Kendra struggled, using all her strength to wrench her hand from Natalia’s grasp. Glaring at her swollen wrist, she shot Natalia a venomous look She feared that the man would come back for her, so she stormed out of the mansion, her pride intact. “Natalia, you wait and see. I’ll make your life a living hell.” 

Kendra stomped out of Maplewood Manor. Not long after, she bumped into someone. She looked up, and to her surprise, it was that man again. 

Hadn’t he left? Why was he back? 

Callum stared at Kendra, “Why are you still here? I’ve found out that you’re Natalia’s sister, but I’ve heard you’ve bullied her since you were kids and even stole her pendant is that true?” 

Callum’s brown eyes were as cold as ice, a stark contrast from when he met her on the street earlier. 

“No, I didn’t bully her, and I didn’t steal her pendant. She gave it to me herself. Kendra knew this man was a force to be reckoned with. 

She had managed to escape earlier, only to be caught by his men and brought back. She had a feeling that Callum was even more intimidating than Magnus 

“I hope not. From now on, I won’t let you bully Buttercup anymore. Callum pointed to her nose as he warned her. 

Kendra didn’t want to waste her breath arguing with him, so she turned to leave. But after a few steps, she turned back. She looked at Callum with a smirk, “Mr. Callum, your beloved Buttercup is married now. How do you plan to take her away? Her husband now is the king of Melfort, someone you can’t afford to mess with After speaking, she laughed heartily and then strode away. 

At Kendra’s words, Callum’s face darkened. Had she really married? Had he arrived a step too late? His girl, he would take her away, whether she was 

married or not 

Natalia, at Maplewood Manor, saw off all the guests and returned to her room. She slumped into a chair as if she had lost all her strength. 

For the past decade, she had been haunted by a dream, not realizing that it wasn’t a dream at all, but her memories from when she was five 

However, aside from that dream, she had no other memories. Could it be that her memories from before she was five had been erased? 

Was it her mother? Why would her mother erase her memories? Why didn’t she want her? Why did her mother hand her over to Kyler and never ask about her again? Why would her mother do that? 

She sat on the balcony, staring at the fiery sunset, feeling unloved and rejected by the world. 

Two days later, Magnus finally returned to Melfort. He went straight to Maplewood Manor after getting off the plane. When he got Linden’s call, his heart was set on fire. Someone was actually trying to steal his wife. 

He couldn’t wait to see who dared to come to Melfort to look for trouble. He didn’t even stop by his company, heading straight for Maplewood Manor 

Upon seeing the black Rolls Royce, Linden knew he had returned Mr. Magnus, you’re back.” 

“Wheres my wife? Magnus asked, his face full of concern. 

Ms. Natalia is in the study. She seems quite upset since that man visited. She hasn’t left the house in the past few days.” Linden reported 

Magnus went straight upstairs and pushed open the door to the study, only to find a slender figure on the balcony, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, engrossed in her painting She was so focused that she didn’t notice the man who quietly approached her from behind. 

She was drawing the scene from her dream a wide classroom with many children, all with horrified expressions, and Miss Rose, who had already fallen to the floor in a pool of blood 

Magnus frowned. What was she drawing? It was so bloody 

Natalia finally finished her painting and stood up with a sigh. Suddenly feeling someone behind her, she turned around and was shocked to see Magnus. standing behind her 

“You you’re back” There was no joy or excitement in her eyes. 

All Magnus saw was her fearful and estranged gaze. Had he become such a stranger in her heart? 

“Darling, what are you drawing?” He tried to suppress his anger Shouldn’t she run into his arms and tell him how much she missed him upon his return? 

“Nothing much, just doodling. She packed up her painting tools and casually walked past him, her long hair brushing against his face, leaving behind a faint fragrance 

He closed his eyes, feeling a heart wrenching pain. He turned around and grasped her delicate wrist. 

Natalia turned slightly, looking at Magnus gloomy expression Her heart ached, 

Ever since the day they had a falling out, they hadn’t had sex Every time she woke up in the middle of the night during Magnus‘ business trip, she found herself missing him uncontrollably But this man was already involved with isabella She couldn’t stay by his side anymore 

Magnus pulled her into his arms, hugging the girl he had longed for these past few days His wife He couldn’t stop thinking about her. He wished he could have rushed back to see her immediately upon receiving Linden’s call, but the project was really important So he rushed back as soon as he finished the project. Finally, he was able to hold her again He closed his eyes and breathed in her scent 

Natalia tried to push him away. Whenever she thought of the day when Isabella walked out of his office wearing his coal, her heart felt like it was being pricked by needies. 

“Darling, let me hold you. I missed you so much.” Magnus tightened his hold on her 

158 

Magnus, let go. I have something to tell you.” 

Natalia wanted to break free from his hold. She didn’t want him to hold her. She feared that she would become addicted to his scent, losing herself even 

more. 

Magnus paused when he heard her say that she had something to tell him Was she going to talk about breaking up again? Where did things go wrong? His wife wanted to break up with him. He wouldn’t break up. He absolutely wouldn’t. 

He held her in his arms, wishing he could melt her into his bones He could control the entire world, but he couldn’t control this girl’s heart. 

The girl in his arms struggled so fiercely that his patience was wearing thin. He moved her shoulder away, found her lips, and kissed her directly. 

He drank in her sweetness, his kiss wild and untamed. He pried apart her pearly whites, stole her breath away, drawing on her small tongue as if he wanted to devour her whole. 

Natalia’s tongue tingled, her body tightly confined in his embrace, unable to move. Just when she was about to suffocate, he slowly let her go. 

Looking at her flushed face, he said, “Darling, I love you Don’t do this to me Let me deal with my matters first, then we’ll go on our honeymoon Behave” Magnus voice was hoarse, whispering lowly into her ear. 

Natalia was rigid all over, and she snapped back to reality, looking up at the man in front of her His passionate gaze made her heart flutter 

What about Isabella? Magnus, don’t lie to yourself, don’t you have feelings for Isabella? I once said, if you find a girl you like, I will leave.”
