The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 41

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

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.

shown him any warmth or affection.
