The maid hurriedly lowered her head, “But Mr. Magnus is not in a wheelchair, and there is no wheelchair when he gets up later.”

Linden knotted his brows, “Get back to your work.”

Once the maid had left, Linden immediately pushed Magnus‘ wheelchair gently towards the room. When he saw the two on the bed, he was taken aback. He quickly set the wheelchair in place and retreated.

After a while, Natalia opened her eyes to see a handsome face in front of her. She was momentarily stunned, recalling the man’s words from the night before, “We’ll have to get used to sharing a room”

She felt a rush of heat to her ears and looked up at the man’s sleeping face. Wasn’t he always an early riser? Why was he still asleep? She studies his smooth skin, his handsome features and his eyes closed with long, thick lashes God, he was even more attractive than most women.

His lips were thin, and some said men with thin lips were heartless. Was he heartless?

Recalling the times he had forcefully kissed her without her consent, she blushed, gently removed his hand, and attempted to slip away. The large hand on her waist tightened abruptly. “My dear, you’ve been staring at me for quite a while now. What are your thoughts?”

Startled, Natalia pushed against his chest to back away. “I wasn’t staring I just wanted to get up.”

With a swift movement, the man pulled her back into his embrace, flipping over to pin her beneath him Natalia let out a surprised yelp. “Magnus, what are you doing?” Why was he on top of her again? Weren’t his legs supposed to be numb?

“Sneak a peek and then run away? What do you think I should do, darling? Maybe we should do something more intimate?” His deep, dark gazes bore into hers.
