The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 81

Seemingly, she used to attend school diligently, not like other privileged young ladies who merely

whiled away their hours at school, only to grease some palms when graduation neared, ensuring they

got their diplomas without breaking a sweat.

His wife, indeed, was not like any other woman.

"Reward? Do I get a reward?" Hearing Magnus say this, Natalia, who had been leaning on his chest

and feeling blue just a moment ago, suddenly perked up.

She was visibly surprised and delighted, fixating on the handsome man who had her utterly enchanted.

Previously, Magnus had told her that she had to perform well in her studies if she wanted to continue

attending school. Otherwise, he would reconsider his decision.

Her grades had indeed slipped compared to before in her recent exam. Consequently, Natalia hadn't

dared to bring it up with Magnus. If Magnus didn't ask, she would just let sleeping dogs lie. Given the

bustling activities around Magnus' company, she reckoned he wouldn't remember her small issue. But

who knew that nothing could escape Magnus' eagle eye?

Thankfully, he was satisfied with her performance. Hence, upon hearing about the reward, Natalia's

face split into a wide grin.

"Of course," Magnus rarely saw Natalia smiling like a child in his presence. Seeing her like this,

Magnus reached out, gently cupping her chin, and he said in a deep voice, "Of course, there's a

reward. You name it. As long as it's reasonable, I'll make it happen."

Truth be told, during their time together, except for providing her shelter and sustenance, Magnus

hadn't done much for Natalia. Now that he had decided to keep Natalia by his side, he was determined

to spoil her rotten, making sure she wouldn't leave him.

Natalia was even more elated. She was not bothered by the way Magnus holding her chin, staring at

her with such intimacy.

She gently swatted his hand away, tilted her head, and pondered for a while. Then she said, "Actually, I

don't know what reward I want, because I've never received any rewards since I was a kid."

From a young age, Natalia had always been an outstanding student. Her teachers loved her and would

grant her certificates and small gifts, but if those things were seen by Kendra, who had poor academic

performance, they would mostly be discarded or burnt. Then, she would be bullied by Kendra for a long

time.

Even if Kyler knew how good her grades were, he would only secretly praise her a few times.

Aside from insisting that she attend a prestigious university after she aced her college entrance exams,

Kyler never cared about her academic performances.

"You'll have everything from now on because you have me," Hearing Natalia say this, a sharp pain shot

through Magnus' heart. He enveloped Natalia's head with his big hand, pressing her back against his

chest. Then he gently patted her, as if comforting a wronged child, "As long as you're with me, you'll

have everything that others have. And what others don't have, you'll have too."

Why should Magnus' woman have to live such a hard life? If that hypocritical Kyler didn't cherish

Natalia, then so be it. In the future, Natalia would have him who would truly care about her.

Soon, he would let the Clarkson family know that Natalia would about to become a person they couldn't

afford to offend. As for Kendra, wasn't she looking down on Lucius now? Magnus would let them

continue their love-hate relationship.

"Thank you, Magnus," Hearing Magnus' words, Natalia, whose eyes were already reddened, couldn't

help shedding a few tears of emotions.

With her head buried in Magnus' chest, listening to his strong and steady heartbeat, "thump, thump,"

one after the other, she felt nothing but comfort and happiness. She had initially thought that replacing

Kendra and marrying Magnus would lead to dire consequences. More likely, she would face retaliation

once the truth was revealed. Not only would she lose her life, but she might also implicate the entire

Clarkson family.

But who knew that Magnus was not as terrifying as she had imagined. He had also put aside the

absurd substitute marriage and treated her so well.

Sometimes, Natalia doubted whether the Magnus she met was the real Magnus. Was everything that

happened during this period just a dream?

Because Magnus interrupted her midway, Natalia's massage was only half done.

After the two had finished their conversation, when Natalia wanted to continue, Magnus said he was

hungry. Natalia had no choice but to accompany him to the downstairs dinning room for dinner.

After dinner, when they returned to the room, Natalia naturally couldn't rest. Being held by Magnus and

placed on the bed, she was pampered and teased all night and didn't sleep much.

...

In France, Sabrina slowly pushed her luggage out of the airport, feeling extremely depressed.

Her grandfather sent her to France just like that. She knew she couldn't go against his wishes, but she

wasn't on summer vacation yet.

"We have already taken care of the school over there, and you can spend this summer vacation

bonding with Carter."

These were the words her grandfather said when she left. Her parents saw Sabrina's sad face and

didn't know what to say. In the Shaw family, grandfather's words were sacred.

She hadn't even seen the man she’s suppposed to marry before, so how could she possibly bond with

him? You can only image how miserable she was to come to France this time.

She pushed her suitcase out of the airport, stood on the steps, looked at this strange world, and felt a

kind of desolation in her heart.

At this time, a Bugatti came face to face, the car door slowly opened, and a man in a suit came out, He

walked up to Sabrina, "Are you Ms. Shaw? My name is Jack. The president asked me to pick you up."

Sabrina nodded, "Thank you." NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

"No trouble, Ms. Shaw, please get in the car." Jack politely opened the car door. After Sabrina got in the

car, Jack put her luggage in the trunk.

The luxury car eased away from the airport, and Jack remained silent. Sabrina, too, didn't say a word.

She gazed at the passing scenery outside the window, a faint smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.

Well, she thought, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. No matter where she was, she wouldn't be

thrown off her game. For the sake of her grandfather, she decided to take a gamble.

The car had been driving for less than an hour when it entered a villa area. After they pulled up next to

a luxurious villa, Jack opened the car door.

"Ms. Shaw, this is Crown Estate," he said. "You'll be living here from now on. It's also close to your

school."

Jack unloaded the luggage and pushed open the villa's gate. Sabrina didn't bother asking where the

man lived. She was here for her grandfather, after all. Where that man lived was none of her business.

But she still asked Jack softly, "Am I the only one living here?" The villa was so large, and the idea of

living alone in it scared her a little. She was used to living with her family back in Melfort.
