The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 96

Looking at Magnus in his current state, it was clear he had no intention of settling down for the night. Best she keep her distance.

After all, his wound had scabbed over, and in a few more days, it should be mostly healed.

if he acted willfully at this time, there was a risk of reopening the wound, which would only prolong the healing process.

Watching Natalia’s fleeing figure disappear around the stairway corner, Magnus, dabbing his lips with a napkin, couldn’t help but flash a wicked smile. “What difference does it make whether you sleep in the guest room or my bedroom?” he muttered to himself.

Since she kept in mind the things Dr. Frankie had emphasized when he returned to France, Natalia, upon going upstairs, didn’t dare to stay in Magnus‘ bedroom. Instead, she took her book and went straight to the guest room to sleep.

She thought that, by doing this, Magnus would leave her be and stay in his own room.

But little did she know, after she’d finished showering and emerged from the guest room bathroom, she would find a freshly showered, handsome man dressed in a white bathrobe, seated on her bed.

“Wha…wha…” Magnus had followed her to the guest room. Natalia felt really helpless.

Magnus, however, simply lifted the blanket by his side, patted the bed, and said, “Come here, Nat.”

When Natalia looked at Magnus‘ gazes, she felt a shiver run down her spine.

In the past, she wouldn’t have felt anything special about Magnus‘ advances. But after he confessed his feelings for her a few days ago, the thought of sharing a bed with him now made her unusually nervous.
