Chapter 20

Natalia couldn’t sleep. She felt extremely uncomfortable, knowing that she had chosen this path herself and was determined to follow it, no matter how challenging it might be However, his attitude today had truly left her feeling hurt.

“What’s the matter, Natalia? Are you throwing a fit because I didn’t kiss you today? And now you refuse to eat?” The man’s face was stern as he looked at the hair peeping out of the covers.

Hearing his words, Natalia’s anger surged She furiously threw off the covers and sat up. glaring at him “Magnus, I am a human being. I deserve some respect. I am here to take care of you, not to be humiliated by you Who cares about your kiss!”

Tears welled up in her eyes. It was the first time she had raised her voice at Magnus since she had arrived over twenty days ago

Magnus looked at her sitting on the bed, yelling at him, and he couldn’t help but chuckle Respect? So, not kissing you hurt your self–esteem? If you don’t care, why aren’t you eating, huh?”

He casually took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket, lighting one up right there in the wheelchair, completely disregarding that this was her bedroom.

“I’m not hungry, okay? And Magnus, smoking is not good for the recovery of your legs Please, try to smoke less”

Magnus looked at her with interest as she sat on the bed. “Are you worried about me?”

May entered the room with freshly heated food Please eat something. I’ve warmed it up.”

Natalia shook her head. I’m not hungry, May Take it away, please.”

But”

“Leave it.” Magnus ordered.

“Yes, sir.” May put down the food and exited the room.

Natalia looked down at the quilt on her bed. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Magnus wheeling himself over to the bedside, with a plate of

food in hand

“Eat”

Natalia glared at him. “Leave it. I can eat by myself.”

Magnus extended the plate towards her, giving the impression that he would continue to hold it until she took it. “Will you eat on your own, or do! need to feed you?”

Natalia quickly took the plate, beginning to eat under his watchful gaze.

Magnus left the room as she was halfway through her meal, wheeling himself into his own room and shutting the door. He stood up and went to the bathroom, looking at his reflection in the mirror. What was wrong with him today? Why was he so patient with that girl?

He was well aware that she belonged to Lucius. He had a strong aversion to anyone else’s woman. Yet, he had held her, and almost kissed her Even though he had said that it was to humiliate her, at that moment, he had genuinely wanted to kiss her

Was he going mad? Perhaps he was just longing for a woman’s touch after so long. But even so, there was no way he could harbor such feelings
