Chapter 237

Natalia tossed a bit of cheddar cheese into the skillet, followed by a couple of slices of bacon, and

waited for them to sizzle just right. The skillet crackled, and the mouthwatering aroma wafted through

the air, quickly attracting Magnus

Magnus had followed the scent and saw his wife bustling about in the kitchen, along with their son

standing nearby. He felt a sense of sheer bliss.

Natalia was unaware that Magnus had come over. As she placed the pancakes onto a plate, she

patiently explained to Jonas, I used to love this. Give it a taste, and if you don’t like it, I can make you

something else.”

“Delicious!” Jonas nodded eagerly, without even taking a bite. “Anything you make is delicious This is

your special breakfast of love”

“You little charmer Natalia ruffled Jonas‘ hair and placed the plate with the quesadilla in front of him it’s

still hot, so be careful ”

“Okay, Mommy, but I really can’t wait, Jonas said, reaching for the fork to pick up the pancake.

But as quick as he was, someone was quicker

Without even using a fork, Magnus lifted a piece of pancake with his hand and popped it into his mouth,

not minding the heat at all He finished it in just a few bites and exaggeratedly exclaimed. “Oh my god,

this is delicious, honey absolutely delicious”

“Daddy, how could you? That was my pancake Mommy made it for me Jonas was upset. His hands

were on his hips as he expressed his dissatisfaction with Magnus

Magnus was out of line He was the adult here, and how could he snatch food from a child? Especially

food that Natalia had specifically made for him

Magnus scooped Jonas up in his arms, without much sincerity, he said, “Oh, I just wanted to taste it for

you, but it was so good, I ended up eating it alt

“Hmph Jonas crossed his arms, clearly unhappy with Magnus behavior

Natalia, busy cooking, didn’t expect Magnus to suddenly appear in the kitchen and childishly fight over

food with their son Jonas. She was about to say something. when the housemaid entered and

announced, “Mr Magnus, you have a visitor

Magnus, mouth full of delicious food, waved his hand dismissively “Mm–hmm, let them in.”

Natalia paused, wondering who it could be visiting so early. But she didn’t say anything else. They were

in France, not Melfort so she probably wouldn’t know whoever was looking for Magnus

With that thought, she placed another pancake onto a plate and brought it to the table.

Father and son instantly got into a squabble, scrambling for the pancakes.

This is mine. Daddy, how could you?” Jonas, being smaller and having shorter reach, couldn’t get his

hands on any

Magnus claimed all the pancakes for himself, then reluctantly shared a small portion with Jonas,

seemingly realizing his actions were somewhat inappropriate “Well, kids can’t eat too much it’s not

good for your stomach”

“Yeah, yeah, you just don’t want to share with me” Jonas rolled his eyes “Being humble is a virtue,

Daddy, you seem to have forgotten that

Magnus didn’t seem bothered at all. He grinned. “Ha, I guess I need to tell you the story about sharing”

“But this is a special breakfast that Mommy made for me Not only did you steal it, but you want to hog it

all. That’s too much Jonas was indignant, hopping up and down, trying to snatch back some pancakes

from Magnus plate

Seeing the two of them bickering. Natalia felt a wave of warmth rush over her. She quickly shook her

head, trying to nd herself of these feelings. She was leaving soon, and she had promised to return to

Cal. She couldn’t afford to entertain any other thoughts.

“Natalia. is it really you? Oh, Magnus wasn’t lying to us. You really are okay. I thought I’d never see you

again in this lifetime”

A familiar voice filled with sobs came from the doorway Natalia looked up and was stunned to see Lexi

and Sabnna Shaw

She rose from her seat in shock, her hand covering her mouth in disbelief Tears began to well up in her

eyes. Lexi Sabrina, how are you two here?”

If they d met in Melfort, it would’ve made sense. But here? In France? How could it be such a

coincidence?

“You, you’ve been hiding away and Irving perfectly fine all this time, yet you put us through so much

Lexi and I mourned you for years. We even held a memorial for you each year You’re terrible, utterly

terrible Sabrina sobbed, her emotions running high

Back when they d heard of Natalia’s supposed shipwreck, they’d both nearly fainted from crying. All

these years, every time the anniversary of Natalas disappearance came around, the two of them would

instinctively go to the shoreline to pay respects to her

But now. Natalia was alive and well. This was indeed a surprise

It was a welcome surprise

God must ve seen that it was unjust for kind–hearted Natalia to lose her life like that, hence allowing

her to miraculously return to them.

“You guys sure have sharp senses I just brought my wife home yesterday, and you guys found out?”

Magnus looked at the two unexpected quests, and his face showed clear disapproval They’d disrupted

his family s peaceful morning

Natalia, however, was overcome with joy Lexi, Sabrina, I forgot to ask you to sit down, come, please uit

Lexi and Sabrina nodded, ignoring Magnus, and took a seat

Lex was straightforward, not one to hold her tongue Natalia, spill the beans Where have you been

hiding all these years? You even kept it a secret from us, that’s too much”

“Yeah, even if you didn’t want to deal with anyone else, you should ve at least let us know” Sabrina

agreed

Natalia looked at Lexi and Sabrina, friends she hadn’t seen for years, and felt a mixture of emotions

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she “You guys, I…

Magnus furrowed his brow. These two were clearly here to make his wife cry! Had he known, he never

would have let them in. He felt a tug watched the tears stream down his wife’s face, and his hand

instinctively reaching out as if to wipe them away

As Natalia wept, unable to get a word out, Lexi couldn’t hold back her own tears. “Natalia, don’t cry

“Yeah, Natalia,” she added in between sniffles. “You have had it tough these past few years. Otherwise,

you wouldn’t have been out of touch for so long”
