Chapter 165

He was hit with a reality check, like a bucket of ice water was poured from his head to his toes. He sat up in bed, staring at the picture on his phone. His anger slowly ignited, burning his rationality to ashes

“So you don’t want me, just because of him!” His voice was as cold as frost.

Natalia, who was lying with her back to him, was roughly turned around to face him as he shoved his phone towards her. When Natalia saw the picture on the phone, her mind felt like it had exploded. He had someone follow her and take photos of her. There was nothing between her and Callum, but the photo implied otherwise

“It’s nothing between us. I only ran into him on my way back, she stated flatly.

“Nothing? I saw how your eyes lit up when you saw him, and yet you’re always so cold towards me. Natalia, have I spoiled you too much? I’ve allowed you to push my boundaries time and time again!”

Move to Sapphire Island tomorrow. You don’t need to continue your studies!”

Magnus got up and stormed out of the bedroom, slamming the door behind him. Natalia sat on the bed. Tears were streaming down her pale face.

Magnus descended the staircase, heading for his car, but his heart felt like it was being scorched. He wanted to destroy everything. That damn Englishman was so bold!

He picked up the phone. “Investigate Callum’s every move in Melfort tomorrow!
