Chapter 253

Lex gazed at the man shrouded in shadows, and her hand slowly fell to her side as panic filled her

heart. The day had passed without a morsel of food, and her spints were at an all–time low Her vision

blurred, and she once again fainted.

Callum managed to catch Lexi in his arms, effortlessly picking her up and carrying her out of the room.

He carried her into his bedroom and gently placed her on the bed. He silently stared at her pale face,

and a twinge of pain crossed his heart

How had he managed to intimidate a young woman to the point of her fainting twice?

He called for a doctor to administer Lex with an IV drip to nourish her frail body. A servant entered the

room ‘Sir, Ms. Clarkson has returned?”

Callum’s hands paused, and he quickly stood up leaving the bedroom, and locking the door behind

him.

In the mansion’s living room, Natalia stood tall in a purple gow, her slender figure silhouetted against

the grand windows.

Callum slowly approached her stopping only a foot away Natalia.”

Natalia turned to face him, seeing his well–composed demeanor and vibrant energy However, his gaze

seemed to avoid hers

With guilt overwhelming her she said, “Callum, I’m sorry I came today to tell you that I’m going back to

France with Magnus for a while. For the past five years, Jonas has been without a mother. I don’t want

to lose him again.”

Seeing Callum’s face harden at her words, she couldn’t bring herself to continue. After a long moment

of silence, she finally looked up at him “Callum, I’m not a good woman I can never repay your kindness

Please accept my deepest gratitude

She bowed deeply, only to be pulled back up by Callum. His eyes were bloodshot, and he said,

“Buttercup, I knew this day would come. I just didn’t expect it to come so

soon

At his words, tears streamed down Natalia’s face. “Callum, I’m sorry…

He reached out to wipe away her tears. His smile was strained “Stop crying, Natalia Go on, find your

happiness. I wish you well

Despite his reassurances, Natalia couldn’t stop her tears. Callum, unable to wipe them all away, shook

his head, “Come on, you are a big girl now”

He gently pulled her into a hug, closing his eyes. “Natalia, my girl, find your happiness. I’ll always be

here for you.”

After crying her heart out, Natalia lifted her head. “Callum, I need to go. Take care of yourself and forget

about me

The truth is I cant forget you. Buttercup. You go and spend some quality time with Jonas When you’re

ready, you can come back. This is your home.”

Just as Natalia was about to reply the living room doors swung open, and Jonas walked in “Mommy,

we need to get to the airport!”

Callums eyes bulged at the sight of the young boy. He’s a spitting image of Natalia

“Natalia, this is your son, night? He’s so handsome, Callum complimented, his heart filling with jealousy

He turned to look at Jonas, wishing he could make them stay. But all his hopes were dashed by that

bastard, Magnus. Callum couldn’t accept it!

Natalia hand in hand with Jonas, looked back at Callum. ‘Callum, I need to go”

Tll drive you to the airport Callum insisted, and Natalia reluctantly agreed

Magnus, in the car had a sour look on his face. Could Callum stop being a third wheel here?

Once at the airport. Natalia helped Callum settle into a chair in the waiting area and flagged a waiter

“Could I get a cup of coffee? No sugar or milk, please

Callum, watching her with a warm smile, said, “Natalia, you still remember my coffee preference That’s

so sweet of you”

Compared to what he had done for her, getting a cup of coffee was nothing, Natalia thought. Just as

she was about to reply, the waiter brought over their coffee

“Thank you Callum said, handing the waiter a tip.

“Mister, why did you give the waiter a tip?” Jonas asked.

Callum looked at the little boy in surprise That bastard Magnus had such an adorable son with Natalia.

It was infuriating!

But despite his jealousy, Callum didn’t forget to answer Jonas‘ question “Well, he provided us with a

good service. Jonas It’s only right to give him a tip: Callum replied

with a kind smile

“But my daddy doesn’t give tips, Jonas countered, his curiosity piqued

Magnus. feeling a bit uncomfortable ruffled Jonas hair “Stop asking so many questions Jonas Drink

your coffee.”

Jonas stuck out his tongue, annoyed. His daddy was always hogging his mommy’s attention!

Natalia rubbed the spot on Jonas head where Magnus had hit then spoke to Callum, “Cal, this is Jonas,

my son. The one I thought I had lost, but miraculously subvved

Callum nodded. Hes adorable”

Natalia turned to Jonas Jonas this is Uncle Callum

Jonas dutifully greeted Callum, ‘Hello Uncle Callum I’m Jonas I’m five years old I’m single, and | have

an IQ of 180. Til be 180 centimeters tall in ten years.”

Callum laughed heartily ruffing Jonas hair Nice to meet you, Jonas I’m Callum, thirty years old, and

also single

Yeah, Callum had a soft spot for the kid even though he was a product of Magnus, but he was also the

son of his Buttercup.

Only such a perfect woman like Natalia, could give birth to such an adorable and lovely boy if only the

boy wat just

Jonas had no idea that Callum would mimic his speech. His eyes crinkled in mirth. “You’re getting up

them in years and still single. Better get a move on!

“Right, Ill strive to marry a beauty soon‘ Callum replied grinning yet his gaze was faed on Natalia who

sat accusa from hiri

Magnus felt a twinge of discomfort at Callus blatant stare Clearing his throat he outright spoke to

Natalia “Abem, Natalia, I think you should bid Mr. Callum gode now because our flight is taking off soon

Natalia hesitated for a moment, but finally said. “Cat Fm going to France with Jonas for a few months”
