Chapter 151

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.”

“Why?” Magnus‘ dark eyes bore into her, as if trying to penetrate her very soul. “Did I do something wrong? Why do you need to take some time to think? Let’s go back and talk it out.” He said, pulling her towards the parking lot.

Magnus fiery temper simmered down at Natalia’s vulnerable state But he couldn’t let her walk away If there was a misunderstanding, he would clear it up. He was always at a loss when it came to his dear wife She could do whatever she wanted, as long as she didn’t leave

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
