The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 170

As the sun rose and set, Natalia lived quietly in her lonely world. It was as if she was detached from everything. She didn’t even ask if Magnus had returned

Ever since the incident, Magnus hadn’t shown up for several days. The place seemed like an abandoned mansion, with only Linden, May, and a few servants around Nobody else had visited. He clearly didn’t love her, so why was he keeping her confined in this place, and isolating her from the world?

“Baby, you need to grow up soon, so you can come out and play with Mommy Natalia whispered, stroking her ever–growing belly. Her words were swept up by the sea breeze, falling onto the boundless sea. She let out a desolate laugh.

It felt like she was suffering from depression. She often stared at the sea alone, and smiled at the sunset.

In Melfort, Magnus looked haggard after not seeing Natalia for several days. His chin was covered in stubble, which he had no mind to shave. He was only concerned about his wife’s well–being. He wondered if she had eaten. She didn’t like his presence, and even his kiss was repulsive to her. He was afraid to provoke her again.

Every day, he wanted to check on his little wife, but it took infinite self–control to convince himself not to do so. Since Natalia didn’t want to see him, it would be better not to upset her. Once she understood his feelings for her, she would want to see him, right?

With that thought, Magnus took out his phone, hoping to see a text from Natalia, but there was none. He tossed his phone on the table and sighed silently. This stubborn and obstinate little wife of his was really testing his patience!
