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. All his worries had been for nothing She viewed Callum as nothing more than her brother. This was a huge relief and made his painstaking journey all worth the while

With that he was in such a good mood that he didn’t even mind his son’s comment about his grumpy moods. All he wanted to do was pull Natalia into his arms and express

his longing for her

“Um, so, uh, why are you here?” Natalia stuttered out as a greeting, instantly regretting her words. God, why was she so clumsy? Wasn’t this just inviting Magnus to reprimand her?

Sure enough. Magnus chuckled knowingly. “I’m here to find my runaway wife and child. If I didn’t find you here, where else would I go?”
