Chapter 74
A table lavishly set with a smorgasbord of dishes, ranging from exotic delicacies to homely comfort
food, was a sight to behold.
it was their first time dining together with Natalia present, a new addition to the group of four.
Throughout the meal, Magnus, much like a fussy mother concerned about her child’s appetite, kept
piling food onto Natalia’s plate. This made Natalia blush profusely, to the point where she wished she
could crawl into a hole and hide. In a soft murmur to Magnus, she said, “Magnus.come on, I’ve had
enough to eat
Witnessing this spectacle, Carter, Chase, and James could hardly believe their eyes. The man before
them, who had endured years of hardship and who was usually cold and domineering, was now
behaving so softly The three of them, having grown up with Magnus, could only describe his newfound
behavior as “cringeworthy”
Amidst the internal scoffing of Carter, Chase, and James, the meal came to an end.
Knowing that Carter and the others wanted to talk to him, Magnus excused himself from the table. He
turned to Natalia, who stood quietly by his side. and said, “I’ll be in the study with Carter and the others.
You get ready. I’ll join you shortly.”
Although it was a simple instruction, Magnus soft voice and tender gaze left Natalia blushing
throughout the conversation. She could hardly bear to look. at the three brothers standing next to

Natalia responded with a nod I understand”
After saying this, she turned and hurried away. Her rushed departure made her seem all the more
adorable.
After Natalia left, Carter, Chase, and James followed Magnus to his study. Once inside, James, usually
all smiles and seemingly carefree, became unusually serious “Magnus, how do you plan on dealing
with Lucius? His actions are becoming bolder. I fear he’ll cause trouble if we don’t act soon.
They all knew how ruthless Lucius could be. He had been gunning for Magnus for years but to no avail.
So, with Lucius becoming more aggressive, they wanted to take early action, to nip all his plans in the
bud and preferably get rid of this scum who had tried to harm his own brother just to gain control of the
Andersen Corporation
Upon James‘ words, Magnus, who had been keeping a close eye on Lucius movements, let out a cold
laugh. He stood up from his wheelchair, walked over to the window, and said, There’s no rush I want to
see just how capable Lucius really is. I want him to use all his strength, only to be beaten down by me
That’s what he deserves for all the suffering I’ve endured”
“For Grandpa’s sake, we can’t kill him yet! Jamie wouldn’t allow it as well!‘ Magnus stared out at the
blazing sun. His heart was as cold as ice.
Understanding Magnus intentions, Carter and the others respected his decision. Though they were
worried, they agreed, “We’ll keep a close eye on Lucius We won’t let him pull any stunts”
“Alright Magnus nodded, his gaze drifting back to the view outside the window, his expression
becoming increasingly profound. He had long considered Lucius, who was constantly plotting against
him, no longer a brother Yet, he was worried about their grandfather’s health and thus tolerated Lucius
reckless behavior over the years If it weren’t for his concern for his grandfather’s health and Jamie’s
dying words, Lucius would have been dead a thousand times over, given Magnus capabilities and
influence Eliminating Lucius would be a piece of cake for him.
With these thoughts in mind, Magnus stood by the window in silence for a while
When he finally broke the silence, Carter and the others hadn’t said a word for quite some time. “Is that
all?” he asked.
They were clearly just looking for an excuse to come and check on him. While Magnus felt a warmth in
his heart, he appeared rather impatient on the outside
“Yeah,” replied Chase, who had been silent all along
They had no real reason to see Magnus, it was just a ruse orchestrated by Carter and James to check
on Magnus‘ sweetheart bride.
Chase was rather upset about this. They had been close since childhood, even sharing a bed when
they had had too much to drink. When had their relationship become so distant that Magnus needed an
excuse to send them away? Just because he had a beautiful wife?

nothing else, I’ll take my leave. Make yourselves at
home
After saying this, he returned to his wheelchair and left for Natalia’s room.
“Didn’t you have something to discuss with Carter and the others? How come you’re back so soon?”
Natalia asked as she prepared to test a new treatment method for Magnus legs. She helped him with
the wheelchair the moment she noticed him inside
She seemed composed on the outside, but inside, her thoughts were still in turmoil from the events of
the previous day.
Although Natalia seemed to talk to him normally, her eyes, however, barely met his. Feeling helpless,
Magnus went over and gently took Natalia into his arms Circling her in his embrace, he asked softly.
“Are you still upset about what happened yesterday? What do you want me to do to make you happy?”
Before he met Natalia, Magnus had never imagined that he, too, would one day put aside his pride for
someone, using soft and gentle words just to coax
a smile from her.
T’m not upset. You should let me go, I’m squashing your leg As Magnus held her close, his warm
breath brushed against her ear with every word he said. This made Natalia, who was already
somewhat resistant to him out of petulance, blush furiously, She knew very well in her heart that for
someone Mike Magnus, going to such lengths to please her, repeatedly setting aside his ego, was
incredibly rare.
