Chapter 324
Magnus felt a wetness at his nose. He wiped it with his hand, seeing blood smeared on his palm. It was
then he realized that Callum had injured him. He looked up with an irritable glare, snapping at Callum,
“What the hell is wrong with you, Callum?”
James also rushed over, ready to defend his friend. He squared off with Callum, saying, “If you’re
itching for a fight, Callum, I’m game! But you’re asking for trouble, coming here to our turf‘
Callum was seething with anger Ignoring James, he pushed James away with a forceful hand, swinging
his fist at Magnus again “Magnus, I can’t believe I let Natalia go with you! Look at how you’ve treated
her. You’re a total screw–up! You’ve got her on the run again. If you want a fight. Magnus, then let’s do
it. Don’t hide behind your lapdog!”
James was taken aback at being referred to as a dog. His anger flared up, and he stomped his foot, a
blade popping out from the sole of his shoe The blade gleamed menacingly as James swung his leg,
aiming for Callum’s back
Callum heard the whoosh of the blade, ducked just in time, and shot James a glare. “A sneak attack?
You’re a real piece of work!”
“At least I don’t resort to name–calling” James retorted, his eyes flashing as he aimed another kick at
Callum
On the other hand, Magnus had been feeling down lately, needing a way to vent his frustrations if
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCallum was looking for a fight, he would get a fight! Magnus didn’t bother about keeping up
appearances or coordinating with James. He just swung his fists at Callum, hoping to drive away his
feelings of despair
Despite Callum’s strength, he was outnumbered He had to deal with Magnus‘ punches while avoiding
the blade on James‘ shoe Before long, he looked rather disheveled.
Lexi, watching from the sidelines, was horrified. She had asked Callum to come and talk to Magnus
about Natalia, not to start a fight. And now Callum was in a precarious situation, facing off against
Magnus and James alone
Worried for Callum, Lexi blurted out, “Magnus, we didn’t come here to fight! I’ve seen Natalia!”
This caused Magnus to freeze in his tracks. He turned to look at Lexi. “Where is she?”
Seizing the opportunity. Callum landed a solid punch on Magnus, causing him to stagger back. But he
didn’t get away scot–free James blade came whizzing towards his back Callum ducked, but the blade
still grazed his shoulder, leaving a shallow cut from which blood began to seep
Lexi had had enough She screamed, “Can you all just stop fighting? We came here to talk, not cause
trouble! Can’t we just sit down and discuss things calmly?”
As she spoke. Lexi rushed towards Callum and wrapped her arms around his waist. “Just stop it! No
more fighting!”
Callum stopped and looked down at a worried Lexi A smile formed on his face as he said. “Lexi, are
you worried about me? I’m touched.”
James saw Lexi holding onto Callum and withdrew his raised foot. He grumbled and rubbed his arm.
Callum’s sweet talk had given him goosebumps God, he couldn’t stand that guy and their over–the–top
affection
It was clear that James had a double standard He didn’t like Callum, so everything about him annoyed
James. Yet, he forgot how nauseatingly Sweet Magnus and Natalia were when they were together,
making all the single folks envious.
In the meantime, Magnus stood watching Callum and Lexi interact. He didn’t know when they had
gotten close, but he was glad. With Callum having a new girlfriend, he wouldn’t bother Natalia
anymore.
“Lexi, what did you say earlier? You ve seen my wife? Where? Magnus asked Lexi eagerly, not
bothered with Callum
Lexi placed herself between Magnus and Callum, afraid that they might start arguing again. Then she
answered Magnus question, rain into Natalia yesterday at the port in Fareham
“Fareham? That’s impossible! I’ve checked all the airports, bus stations, and ports in Melfort and
