The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 194

Alice was once again scolded by her brother, and her face was turning from pale to flushed. She stomped her foot and turned to leave, but seeing that neither her brother nor Callum had any intention of stopping her, she reluctantly turned back towards the banquet.

Watching Alice storm off made Henry shake his head at his sister’s foolishness. Her disrespectful behavior was utterly embarrassing for the McKinney family. “Ms. Clarkson, I sincerely apologize. My sister is a bit spoiled, I hope you don’t take it to heart,” Henry apologized again, feeling embarrassed by his sister’s antics.

Natalia shook her head. “It’s really okay, Mr. McKinney. Your sister is straightforward, and it’s quite endearing.”

Henry knew Natalia was just being polite, but he still admired her humble and consistent demeanor. Such grace and poise were hard to come by. With these thoughts in mind, he couldn’t help but take another look at Natalia. Not only was she stunningly beautiful, but there was also something oddly familiar about her.

Upon noticing the deep blue hues in her beautiful eyes, he was surprised.

“I’m curious about your lineage. Your background seems so refined and noble. Could you tell me about it?” The more Henry looked at Natalia, the more familiar she seemed. Perhaps, she was a hidden heiress from some well–known family?

Natalia laughed shyly. “Mr. McKinney, you flatter me. I’m just an orphan. I don’t belong to any noble family, and I don’t even know who my biological parents are.”

After surviving a near–death experience, Natalia chose to suppress all memories related to Magnus but remembered everything else about herself. She was adopted from an orphanage by Kyler. Which noble family would’ve abandoned her and given her to an orphanage?

Henry frowned in confusion. “An orphanage? No, Ms. Clarkson, you must be joking. Your manners and behavior clearly reflect a noble upbringing. I’m just curious about your background, nothing more.”
