The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 246

Without a second thought, Magnus abandoned his affairs in Melfort to Chase and hopped on the next flight back to France

After a thorough interrogation of the villa’s servants, he deduced that Natalia had likely snuck off back to England, so he didn’t hesitate to follow her there

Well, if she was playing hard to get, he was willing to play harder to track her downt

Initially, he was fuming when he arrived. He wanted to have a word with his runaway wife, demanding an explanation as to why she could just leave him behind with their child, but when he arrived at her doorstep, all his anger evaporated into thin air And what surprised him even more was hearing Natalia’s words for himself.
