The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 254

She refrained from even mentioning Magnus, as her decision to go to France wasn't about him, but

about the need to be there for their son.

Callum, though, took this as a huge irony. He didn't anticipate that his girl, his darling, would eventually

fall for Magnus’ relentless pursuit and decide to go back to him. She was even too afraid to tell Callum

the real reason for her departure.

"Darling, are you sure? You want to go back with this jerk? After all he's done to you, can't you see him

for what he is?" Callum was struggling to keep his temper in check. If they weren't in public, he would

have already punched Magnus right in the nose.

He hated Magnus for taking his girl away from him.

Magnus scoffed, "What! Are you trying to break up a married couple? Is this the so-called British

gentleman's nobleness? Well, I've seen it all now."

Jonas, their son, also chimed in, "Uncle Callum, I like you a bit, but when compared to my dad, I'll

always side with him! Plus, I love my mom and want her to live with me."

He turned to his mom, Natalia, with worried eyes. "Mommy, am I right? You said you'd always live with

me."

Looking at the tears welling up in little Jonas' eyes, Natalia felt a pang in her heart. She knew that

although Jonas seemed independent and well-behaved, he was still a child who longed to be with his

mom.

To ease Jonas' fears, Natalia pulled him onto her lap and wiped the cake crumbs from his mouth with a

napkin. "Yes, I promised you this, didn't I? Don't worry, sweetie."

Jonas finally smiled. "Mommy, a promise is a promise, right?"

Natalia was surprised that Jonas knew about promises, but she figured Magnus must have taught him

well. "Of course, sweetie. Mommy always keeps her promises," she reassured him with a smile, then

turned to Callum. "Cal, you see, my son really needs me. These past five years, I've missed out on so

much of his life. I don't want to miss any more moments of him as he grows up."

The sincerity in Natalia's voice was palpable. Women might’ve been seen as fragile, but the moment

they became mothers, they transformed into unbending pillars of strength. No matter how vulnerable

they seemed to be, they yearned to be their child's strongest support.

Callum could see the sincerity in Natalia's words, but he wasn't ready to give up just yet. "Darling, we

are living in modern times. If you don't want to separate from him, I can bring you both to live with me. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Besides..."

"Mr. Callum, if my presence here can't earn your respect, then perhaps we should settle this privately,"

Magnus interrupted coldly.

That damn British guy! He actually had the audacity to try and steal his wife right in front of him. And

that's not all, he shamelessly wants to take his son as well!

Enough is enough!

Taking his manners as incompetence, Callum was pushing his limit.

The anger in Magnus's heart grew stronger and stronger. He loosened his shirt collar, wishing he could

just beat Callum right then and there.

Callum was never a coward. Since he dared to instigate Natalia to leave Magnus in front of him, he

naturally wasn't afraid of Magnus's provocation.

He intentionally said this, as he wanted to set Natalia free, but he also couldn't stand this guy's

arrogance.

Callum, never one to back down, stood up and flexed his wrists. "Why not now? Let's settle this once

and for all, shall we?"

"Let's go!"

The two proud men were ready to duel, leaving Natalia stunned.

"Have you both lost your minds? Fighting? Are you three years old? Do you have any dignity left?"

Natalia shouted at their retreating backs, effectively halting their steps.

Magnus was the first to reply, "Honey, don't worry about this. If I don't show this Brit my strength, he'll

think I'm a pushover. I'll make sure he regrets messing with us."

"Stop!" Natalia shook her head, frustrated. "How old are you? Your son is almost in elementary school,

and here you are, ready to fight like a child. Have you no shame? Our flight is about to take off! If you

keep this up, we may as well not leave today."

When Magnus heard that their flight was about to take off, he quickly apologized and tried to diffuse the

situation with a smile. "Honey, I was wrong. Let's not argue with him anymore. Can we leave now?"

Natalia finally nodded in approval, then turned to Callum. "Cal, Magnus has always been a bit rude. If

he's said anything inappropriate, please don't take it to heart."

Callum remained silent. Natalia's subconscious actions had revealed her true feelings. Perhaps she

didn't realize it, but in her heart, she was closer to Magnus. She could scold him freely, whereas she

always referred to Callum with respect and politeness, creating a distance between them.

Callum forced a smile, preferring Natalia scold him rather than being overly polite. He sighed inwardly,

hiding his disappointment. "Buttercup, are you sure you can't stay?"

Natalia hated seeing Callum like this. It made her feel guilty. However, her long-lost son remained the

primary concern in her heart, and she simply couldn't bear to be away from him for even a moment.

"I'm so sorry, Cal," Natalia apologized with difficulty. Her eyes were glistening with unshed tears. "I

know everything you've sacrificed and done for me over the years. But truly, I'm so sorry."

Magnus couldn't stand to see it anymore. This was his wife, for goodness' sake! How could she be

shedding tears for another man? He had already made the greatest concession possible by allowing

her to say goodbye to Callum.
