Chapter 11

Magnus found himself questioning. “Was this young woman now his wife? She looked so youthful, like a little girl”

He thought of Lucius, drowning in bourbon in a private booth in the afternoon, and suddenly straightened up, his gaze fixating on Natalia lying on the bed A smirk appeared on his face. Of course, if she wasn’t beautiful, Lucius wouldn’t be in such agony

His eyes turned icy in an instant. He reached out to switch off the bedside lamp, then he maneuvered his wheelchair out of the room

Returning to his own bedroom, he stood up and walked to the window, gazing out at the dark ocean, a sense of loneliness was welling up within him.

Soon, Linden knocked on the door and entered, spotting Magnus standing on the balcony. He approached Magnus softly “Mr. Magnus, I have found out!”

“Ma’am did not make any phone calls today. She only sent texts to three students from Melfort College!” Linden handed over the satellite information to Magnus.

Magnus‘ deep gaze fell upon the information sheet in Linden’s hand.

“Melfort College students? She didn’t contact Lucius? Magnus thought back to Lucius‘ drunken state earlier that day. Could it be that he was not upset over a phone call from this woman, but drowning his sorrows for another reason?

“No, I checked her call logs. She has never contacted Mr Lucius!” Linden said, noting Magnus‘ frosty expression, then discreetly exited the room

No contact. She must’ve changed her phone before coming here Just how cunning was Lucius?

This woman was crying here, while Lucius was drowning his sorrows in a bar. Magnus‘ icy gaze in the dark seemed to emit a chilling light

The next day, at the crack of dawn, Natalia was awakened by a knock on the door. She sat up immediately. Standing at the door was May “Ma’am, Mr. Magnus has requested your presence in the dining room.”
