The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 237

Natalia tossed a bit of cheddar cheese into the skillet, followed by a couple of slices of bacon, and waited for them to sizzle just right. The skillet crackled, and the mouthwatering aroma wafted through the air, quickly attracting Magnus

Magnus had followed the scent and saw his wife bustling about in the kitchen, along with their son standing nearby. He felt a sense of sheer bliss.

Natalia was unaware that Magnus had come over. As she placed the pancakes onto a plate, she patiently explained to Jonas, I used to love this. Give it a taste, and if you don’t like it, I can make you something else.”

“Delicious!” Jonas nodded eagerly, without even taking a bite. “Anything you make is delicious This is your special breakfast of love”

“You little charmer Natalia ruffled Jonas‘ hair and placed the plate with the quesadilla in front of him it’s still hot, so be careful ”

“Okay, Mommy, but I really can’t wait, Jonas said, reaching for the fork to pick up the pancake.

But as quick as he was, someone was quicker

Without even using a fork, Magnus lifted a piece of pancake with his hand and popped it into his mouth, not minding the heat at all He finished it in just a few bites and exaggeratedly exclaimed. “Oh my god, this is delicious, honey absolutely delicious”
