The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 41

It was in the afternoon when Magnus slowly opened his eyes to find the girl by his bedside quietly reading a book. He smiled faintly, reassured by her presence upon waking, “My lady.”

Natalia, looking up from her book, swiftly rose to her feet upon seeing him awake. “You’re up. Are you hungry? Is your wound hurting?”

The concern in her eyes made him feel special as he reached out to hold her soft hand, “I

feel fine.”

Natalia held out her small hand, sat down beside him and touched his forehead with her

other hand. She felt that his temperature was normal, which put her mind at ease. “I’ve

made some chicken soup. Let me get you some.”

Her soft gaze made Magnus momentarily lose himself, “Sure.”

Natalia gently withdrew her hand and left the room.

Magnus watched her retreating figure, his heart fluttered. Ever since the death of Jamie, he’d been a thorn in the family’s side. No one had ever taken such care of him. During the year when his leg was shattered, his first love had cared for him for half a year, but he was irritable and often lost his temper with her. She left him when he went to France six months

later. Since then, he had harbored resentment towards women, as his mother had never

shown him any warmth or affection.
