Caught off guard, Natalia’s eyes darted around. After a moment’s thought, she looked at Magnus, “I think it might be best if we took some time apart.”

She hesitated, biting her lip, and weakly uttered. I want to stay with Lexi for a couple of days I’ll come back after that.”

Seeing her teary eyes, Magnus felt a pang in his heart
