Chapter 236
Though the glimmer of triumph was already on the horizon, the battle wasn’t won just yet, and Magnus
knew he needed to keep pushing. In his heart, he ma vow As long as Natalia wasn’t dead set against
him, he was determined to thaw her icy heart.
And so, they had their dinner in a somewhat peaceful atmosphere
Natalia led Jonas upstairs, with Magnus trailing behind, only to be shut out at the door if Magnus
reflexes weren’t sharp, the slamming door would have smacked
his nose
Well, it seemed that he was miles away from winning Natalia’s heart Magnus shrugged helplessly and
obediently retreated to his own room.
Natalia, who had closed the door, had no idea that Magnus had followed her. She had no intention
whatsoever of sharing a room with him. Magnus was simply too desperate, and she was always at risk
of being taken advantage of when she was with him So, the further she was from him, the better.
“Mummy, can I sleep with you tonight? Jonas, already in his pajamas, was bouncing excitedly on the
bed
Natalia tidied up the pillows Jonas had scattered around, then sat down and nodded. “Yes, Jonas,
you’re a big boy now You can protect Mummy”
Jonas‘ face lit up even more. He stopped bouncing and patted his chest with his chubby little hands.
“Of course, Dad said I’m a super strong man

He then nestled up to Natalia and pleaded, “Mummy, can you, can you tell me a bedtime story?” He
had grown tired of hearing the same old stories from the housemaids
Natalia couldn’t refuse Jonas request and quickly agreed. “Of course, what do you want to hear?”
After thinking for a moment, Jonas replied, “Fairy tales are boring. I want to hear Mummy’s stories”
Natalia’s eyes moistened. This little guy was finding ways to bond with her She ruffled his soft hair.
“Alright, I’ll tell you stories about when I was little. When I was
your age
She began recounting tales from her childhood. Jonas listened attentively, but gradually, his eyelids
started to droop. He rubbed his eyes a few times, but it was clear that sleep was creeping in
Natalia lowered her voice and gently patted Jonas back. She watched as he slowly closed his eyes,
and his breathing became steady. After putting Jonas to sleep and seeing his sweet, sleeping face,
Natalia found herself restless.
In the dim moonlight, she listened to the sound of the waves crashing outside the window. Her thoughts
were as tumultuous as the sea, refusing to calm down
She wondered how Cal had dealt with the awkward situation after she left. She was aware of Cal’s
feelings for her, but she had chosen to leave with Magnus. She knew Cal must have been heartbroken
But the situation was dire. If she hadn’t left with Magnus, he might have blown up the castle.
She had been under Cal’s care for so long. She couldn’t bear to see him get into trouble, especially not
with Magnus, who was known to bear grudges. Before leaving, she had promised Cal that she would
return soon. But who would have thought that Magnus would bring their son into their love triangle?
Seeing her long–lost son again, and how well–behaved he was, how could her heart remain as cold as
ice?
“Cal, it’s not that I don’t want to return. It’s just that. I want to spend more time with our son
Natalia’s thoughts were a mess Eventually overcome by exhaustion, she drifted off to sleep
The next day
Natalia woke up early. As the sky began to lighten, she couldn’t fall back asleep Looking at the little boy
sleeping next to her, she felt a wave of happiness. In the morning light, she traced the features of his
face with her finger as her lips curled into a smile
Jonas was perfect. His eyebrows were dark and thick, his eyelashes long and curved like two fans. His
small nose was strong and straight, and his lips were as red as a cherry. He looked like an angel
carved out of snow
Natalia gazed at her son, a product of her own blood, and her heart swelled with joy She leaned in and
planted a gentle kiss on his forehead.
Jonas stirred and rubbed his eyes as he woke up. “Mummy?” He mumbled
“Hmm?” Natalia asked softly ‘Do you need to use the bathroom?
Even though Natalia hadn’t taken care of a child before, she knew that young kids often needed to pee
first thing in the morning after holding it in all night
Jonas nodded and shuffled off to the bathroom.
Watching her little boy head off to the bathroom, Natalia took the opportunity to tidy up the bed. By the
time she finished folding the blankets, Jonas had finished
in the bathroom
The fresh–faced Jonas, no longer sleepy, stood energetically beside Natalia “Mummy. I’m a bit hungry.”

squatting down to his level.
Jonas, who had just wanted Natalia to accompany him downstairs, was pleasantly surprised when she
offered to make him breakfast. Before he could recover from his surprise. Natalia had already gone to
freshen up
Fantastic! Listening to the sound of running water from the bathroom, Jonas was over the moon. Oh,
he was about to eat a breakfast prepared by his mother. He was so happy
The more he thought about it, the more excited he got. He couldn’t wait, so he decided to stand by
Natalia and wait for the breakfast she was going to make He had no idea what his mother’s cooking
tasted like. He had never tasted it before
Natalia quickly freshened up and then took Jonas downstairs She was going to fulfill her promise and
make a late breakfast for Jonas
Natalia moved swiftly into action, and before long, she was preparing a simple breakfast for Jonas It
wasn’t anything fancy, just a typical scrambled eggs and pancake breakfast, Natalia’s usual morning
fare
She took out an egg, cracked it into a bowl, and whisked it until smooth. She then added a small
amount of flour to the egg, creating a thick batter, which she set aside Next, she turned on the gas and
melted a pat of butter in a flat pan. Once the butter had melted, she poured the batter into the pan,
forming a thin pancake.

hed from the kitchen, causing Jonas to sniff the air repeatedly. “Mommy, what are you making? It
smells so good.”
