Linden approached the beach. “Ma’am, the master wants you in the study.”

Natalia turned around. Did she have to care for him? Wasn’t he the one who forbade her from entering? Yesterday, she nearly got strangled when she tried to care for him.

“Linden, I thought Mr. Magnus didn’t want me to look after him?”

“Well Ma’am, he is in a bad mood, you better not upset him. You just married into the family, so he hasn’t said anything” Linden looked into Natalia’s azure eyes. Her innocent face didn’t resemble someone with ulterior motives.

“Come in!”

Natalia pushed the door open and saw a man reviewing documents by his desk.

He looked so elegant and noble, it was mesmerizing, if not for his cold demeanor. “Mr. Magnus, you wanted to see me?” She stood three meters away from the expressionless man, not daring to move any closer. Deep down, she was still bothered by the incident of him suddenly choking her the day before. She could understand his irritation, which was normal for someone who had been confined to a wheelchair for so long.

“What were you doing at the beach? Are you unhappy about marrying into this family? He lifted his sharp gaze, looking straight at Natalia as if trying to see through her.
