Chapter 47

Natalia quickly stood up and her cheeks flushed. “Well, I’ll let you get back to work. I’m going to bed.” She found herself forgetting the world around her every time she sat on his lap.

There was something captivating about this man. Even if he was wheelchair–bound, his. charm was irresistible, as long as he wasn’t throwing a fit.

By the time Magnus finished his work, it was already eleven o’clock. He received an unexpected call from Morgan.

“Magnus, why don’t you bring your wife to the Andersen Family Estate? Since you’re interested in her, I won’t object. It’s up to you.” Morgan’s voice was still calm and gentle over the phone.

“Thanks, Grandpa. We’ll be staying at Maplewood Manor. It’s closer to the office. You should get some rest. It’s late.” Magnus replied, his voice soft.

Morgan nodded and ended the call. He sat by the window, gazing into the endless night. He was entrusting his company to Magnus, hoping he could overcome his difficulties and stand on his own two feet one day.

company.

Despite this, Magnus had chosen to stay on Sapphire Island. Now, he was finally moving to Melfort. The house was only a five–minute drive from the office.

As Linden drove into Maplewood Manor, a guard saluted. The window rolled down, and a security officer approached. “Mr. Magnus, welcome back to Maplewood Manor”
