Chapter 170
As the sun rose and set, Natalia lived quietly in her lonely world. It was as if she was detached from
everything. She didn’t even ask if Magnus had returned
Ever since the incident, Magnus hadn’t shown up for several days. The place seemed like an
abandoned mansion, with only Linden, May, and a few servants around Nobody else had visited. He
clearly didn’t love her, so why was he keeping her confined in this place, and isolating her from the
world?
“Baby, you need to grow up soon, so you can come out and play with Mommy Natalia whispered,
stroking her ever–growing belly. Her words were swept up by the sea breeze, falling onto the
boundless sea. She let out a desolate laugh.
It felt like she was suffering from depression. She often stared at the sea alone, and smiled at the
sunset.
In Melfort, Magnus looked haggard after not seeing Natalia for several days. His chin was covered in
stubble, which he had no mind to shave. He was only concerned about his wife’s well–being. He
wondered if she had eaten. She didn’t like his presence, and even his kiss was repulsive to her. He
was afraid to provoke her again.
Every day, he wanted to check on his little wife, but it took infinite self–control to convince himself not to
do so. Since Natalia didn’t want to see him, it would be better not to upset her. Once she understood
his feelings for her, she would want to see him, right?
With that thought, Magnus took out his phone, hoping to see a text from Natalia, but there was none.
He tossed his phone on the table and sighed silently. This stubborn and obstinate little wife of his was

“Out of my way, let me in!”
There was a commotion outside the CEO’s office. Magnus raised an eyebrow, coldly ordering.
“Whoever is outside, let him int
Magnus already knew Hector was the person causing the ruckus. Hector had just returned from the
United States.
As Magnus finished speaking, the door to the CEO’s office was pushed open Hector stormed in, glaring
at Magnus “Magnus, where are you hiding Natalia?”
Hector no longer regarded Magnus as his cousin and addressed him by name.
“Sir, I couldn’t stop him. He insisted on seeing you The secretary followed Hector, looking somewhat
panicked. She feared losing her job at Andersen Corporation, which offered top–notch salaries and
benefits
Magnus casually waved her away Relieved, the secretary hastily exited the CEO’s office, afraid that
Magnus would fire her on the spot. She knew she wouldn’t find another job as good as this one.
After the secretary closed the door, Magnus rose from his luxurious desk and walked towards Hector.
“What are you doing here?”
Hector’s cold eyes were murderous Theard you’ve locked up Natalia Tell me, is it true? Where are you
hiding her?”
Magnus glared at Hector, implying something, “Locked up? I’m only protecting my wife from the
harassment of irrelevant people. She’s pregnant.” “Harassment?” Hector wanted to punch Magnus.
“Magnus, do you know what you’re doing? She’ll be heartbroken You’re heartless. She’s a human
being. a girl who can laugh and cry, not your pet. She will never be happy with you!”
Hector stepped forward, pointing at Magnus‘ nose “You didn’t lock her up on Sapphire Island, did you?”
With that, Hector turned to leave, not wanting to see Magnus a second longer. He was going to
Sapphire Island to see Natalia
Magnus didn’t take Hector’s words seriously. “Locked up? I’m just protecting my wife. How’s that
considered locking up? What are you trying to do? Don’t be childish Ill have Uncle send you to Silent
King, then you’ll stay put
Dropping this line, Magnus leisurely walked back to his desk, sitting down calmly He glanced at Hector
standing by the door. Remember to close the door on your way out
Contrary to Magnus calm demeanor, Hector was trembling with anger He strode up to Magnus, and his
eyes were filled with fury “Magnus, you’ll regret doing this One day. Natalia will hate you. Have you
thought about the consequences? Do you know how vulnerable a woman is during pregnancy? You li
lose her forever!”
Hearing Hector’s words, Magnus felt a pang in his heart. Would he regret it? The most vulnerable
period? His brows furrowed tightly, and his face darkened ‘Mind your own business What’s going on
between her and me is none of your concern
Hector was infuriated by Magnus nonchalant attitude ‘Magnus, all you do is hiding her. Locking her up
on Sapphire Island is fucked up. You cant make her happy! You’ll ruin her?”
“Really? If I can’t give her happiness, can you? Magnus was already on edge these past few days
Hector’s provocation made him snap back. Wake up She’s my wife and the mother of my child She’s
not someone you can covet!”

office. Before leaving, he gave a hard kick to the door
Magnus didn’t take Hector’s blatant provocation seriously it seemed Hector was better off staying
abroad. He couldn’t make Natala happy? Ha, his wife wasn’t something anyone could cover!
And there was also that Callum! They were all acting like he didn’t exist!
At that thought, Magnus‘ temper flared up once again. He got up irritably from his chair and walked
towards the floor–to–ceiling windows. His brows furrowed as he looked outside
“My dear lady, what am I to do with you?!
Magnus would never know, not after some time, that Hector’s words became reality. He regretted it. He
shouldn’t have locked her up like this; he had truly ruined her….

Sapphire Island
Every day, Natalia sat on the balcony, looking out at the sea. She had lost all her appetite, eating only a
little bit each day. No matter what she ate, she didn’t feel like it, and her already frail body was
becoming increasingly thin.
A week had passed, and Magnus had not shown up. She knew that to him, she had always been
disposable. It would be better if he didn’t come back, because that meant there wouldn’t be any
quarrels.
Perhaps, like Morgan, what he cared about was only the child she was carrying in her belly
Natalia’s thin hand caressed her stomach, and she forced out a smile that looked uglier than a cry.
“Sweetie, what should mommy do?”
