The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 528

Magnus and Natalia returned to the balmy embrace of Hawaii, and the unpleasant memories of England soon faded like a bad dream. Their love was a portrait of passion, a daily testament to devotion.

One day, Natalia, with an easel in hand, made her way to the beach, setting out to capture another of her stunning creations. Through her eyes, the world was always beautiful. Her brush transformed the mundane into the exquisite. As she painted, she slipped into a trance, her colors weaving a vibrant tapestry of life.

After some time, she stepped back, a soft smile gracing her lips as she admired the seamless blend of ocean and sky on her canvas. However, her satisfaction was short-lived. Unbeknownst to her, a cluster of pink heart-shaped balloons had appeared, bobbing gently in the sea breeze before her.

Natalia was transfixed, wondering from where these charming intruders had come. Following the ribbons tethered to the balloons, her gaze landed on the dashing figure of Magnus, immaculately dressed, standing before her easel. He was clutching the ribbons in his left hand and holding a bouquet of fiery red roses in his right.

Magnus wore a carefree smile. "My dearest, do you recall what day it is today?" Natalia shook her head, genuinely puzzled. "What day is it?"

Striding past the easel, he presented the roses to her, his gaze intense. "Today marks exactly 12 years, 132 days, and 7 hours since we met."

Natalia let out a light chuckle. "I thought it was some major holiday! Why celebrate such a peculiar anniversary?"

“Because every day with you is a day worth celebrating in my life," Magnus declared. "I thank the stars for the gift of your company, for teaching me to cherish every second we share." As he spoke, he released the balloons into the sky and pulled Natalia into his embrace, kissing her as if she were his most priceless treasure.

The heart-shaped balloons rose into the sky, borne by the wind. They were a fluttering testament to their love.

The couple, stunning against the backdrop of blue skies and crystal waters, shared a deep kiss, and the ascending balloons painted an intoxicating scene.

"Click!"

The sound startled Natalia in the midst of Magnus' kiss. Turning, she saw Jonas capturing the moment, and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She pushed Magnus away lightly. "Stop it, Jonas is back."

“Let him be. He's back, so what? We're in the middle of something beautiful here," Magnus said, drawing her back into his embrace and toward his lips once more.

Seizing the moment, Jonas pressed the shutter and then approached with a grin. He had returned only to find his parents in an affectionate display. It seemed his presence was superfluous.

Natalia tried to resist at first, but soon, she was lost in the depth and fervor of Magnus' kiss.

Jonas quickly set up his tripod and dashed in front of the couple. Using their embrace as a backdrop, he leaped into the air, exclaiming, "Yay!"

"Click!" The camera captured this warm and romantic scene, freezing their images in time.

After a long while, Magnus reluctantly released Natalia, cursing the public setting of the beach in his mind and wishing for more privacy to fully express his love. Plus their pesky little one, Jonas, just had to return at such a romantically awkward moment!

Still breathless from the kiss, Natalia leaned against Magnus, her face a shade of bashful red. "It's your fault. Jonas is back, and you still make such advances in front of him. It's so embarrassing."

Magnus wrapped his arms around Natalia, gently stroking her silky hair as they settled on the sandy shore. "We've been together so long, yet you're still as shy as when we first met. You need to get used to this kind of life. It's only in a loving atmosphere that children grow up healthy and strong.”

Knowing she couldn't out-argue Magnus, Natalia joined him on the sand, gazing at the rolling waves. "Honey, if there's a next life, what would you want to be?"

Caught off guard, Magnus turned to her, nuzzled her nose with his, and asked with a smile, "What's in your mind?" Without hesitation, Natalia replied, "| want to be a tree." "A tree?" Magnus echoed, confused by the sudden poetic turn.

Before Natalia could explain, Jonas, who had been playing nearby, recited dramatically, "In the next life, | want to be a tree, standing tall forever. No cries of joy or sorrow, with half in the quiet earth and half dancing in the wind; half in the shade and half basking in the sun."

Magnus paused, puzzled by Natalia's sudden sentimentality. "My love, have | done something wrong? Why do you wish to be a tree?"

Natalia laughed softly, covering her lips. "What a clever boy... No, | don't want to be that kind of tree."

Jonas peeked out from behind them, curiously asking, "Mommy, then which tree would you be?"

"Of course not," Natalia began, but seeing Jonas’ eager eyes Waren an answer, she tagrecthis héa demrye'Adiitts are talking, little man. You just got back. Go ask the housekeeper to make you something delicious." Please read the original content at .

Natalia blushed deeper, unable to raise her gaze.

Magnus had an epiphany. "Oh, | get it now." As Magnus understood her thoughts, Natalia blushed even more, and her eyes shyly averted from his intense gaze.

"Daddy, what tree is that?" Jonas asked, bewildered.

Magnus and Natalia shared a knowing look. Their love was a secret garden, and th raaleenvere foster Alye WEE Eget er, blooming with every Sunset and every whispered breeze on the Hawaiian shore. Please read the original content at .

"A tree in bloom," Magnus chuckled, ruffling young Jonas' hair affectionately. "Son, never think you've got it all figured out. There's so much more to learn." Jonas was still puzzled. "A blooming tree? Like what kind of tree? An oak, a magnolia, or a cottonwood?"All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Magnus and Natalia exchanged a knowing glance, and together, they scooped Jonas up in their arms, seizing the opportunity to tickle him mercilessly.

"Ha ha, stop, ha-ha-ha, show me mercy, ha-ha, please let me go!"

Jonas' pleas for mercy echoed down the shoreline, carried away on the breeze, fading into the distance.
