Chapter 73
It was James, Chase and Carter who came by.
Frankly, they thought that Magnus was one lucky chap. The guy had lived for over two decades, never
once experiencing romance. And when he finally did, he ended up with the hot babe Natalia. They
were undeniably envious. Compared to Natalia, the women they knew were mere commoners.
“Indeed,” Natalia affirmed with a smile when James asked. She did not understand why these three
would suddenly show up at Maplewood Manor, and why Magnus was absent
She courteously brewed them some tea, inspecting each of them as she did. James, who was always
trying to strike a conversation with a smile, and Chase, who spoke less, but spoke each word
profoundly
And there was also Carter, who was fond of teasing Magnus when they were in France
She wondered, “Didn’t Magnus say he’d be home by noon when he left this morning? Do their arrivals
have anything to do with Magnus early return?”
Yet, the three men in front of her seemed oblivious to Natalia’s confusion, especially James, who kept
gazing at Natalia with his bright puppy eyes, smiling all the way
Then he said, “Oh, Magnus is indeed a lucky man. Not only are you beautiful, but you’re also
considerate.”
Changing his tone, James proposed with a grin, “Natalia, why not ditch Magnus and leave with me?
Magnus is so cold, he surely can’t be as romantic asi
am.”

But as soon as James spoke, Chase, who was sitting next to him, elbowed him in the stomach.
“Ouch…” James immediately clutched his stomach,
wailing in pain.
Carter, always good–natured, couldn’t help but chuckle. “You sure have guts, James. Isn’t this like the
hundredth time you’ve tried to steal Natalia? Aren’t you afraid Magnus would punish you?”
Though Natalia hadn’t been with Magnus for long, his jealous reputation had already spread.
“He must have a death wish to dare to poke the bear, Chase commented, his words as concise as
always.
Just as Natalia was enjoying the lively banter, Magnus, who had just left the company, hurried back to
Maplewood Manor. He took one look at the three men lounging on the couch, especially at James, who
was grinning from ear to ear. With a frown, he said. “You guys sure got here fast!” Usually, they would
hang out at the Golden Groove, but today, they had come to his place.
He then wheeled over to Natalia, reaching out to cup her face. “Don’t hang out with these beasts!”
“Wha ?”
“You.” The three men gasped. This guy was showing off his affection right in front of them and even
called them beasts!
Magnus then cast James a chilling glance before saying. “There’s a tough training camp in the desert. I
can send you there to toughen up.”
James immediately protested, “Magnus, you… fine, I won’t say anything anymore. Natalia, you have to
help me!” Seeing his pitiful face, Natalia couldn’t help but chuckle

Magnus smiled faintly at Natalia’s laughter. Carter and Chase also burst into laughter Only Magnus
could handle the unruly James.
Before he came back from the company, Chase had told him that they planned to gather at Maplewood
Manor He didn’t expect them to come so soort Knowing they were worried because of Lucius
assassination attempt, he didn’t refuse their company
Compared to his blood–related brother Lucius, who was constantly plotting against him, Carter, Chase,
and James were the real brothers on whom he could always rely
“I assure you, I have the utmost respect for Natalia. I promise I won’t do it again!”
James certainly knew what the desert training was like. He was skilled, but being in a desert with no
women, licking blood off knife blades every day just for training, was worse than death to him.
Natalia was still a bit uneasy around Magnus because of yesterday’s events. She didn’t dare meet his
gaze and kept her head down.
Natalia might have said that, but she couldn’t help but wonder why Magnus seemed to care so much
for her in front of everyone when he didn’t even like
her
Magnus, noticing Natalia’s mood, knew she was still upset about what happened last night. He reached
out and gently held her hand, his voice deep and magnetic. “Have you eaten yet, baby? Don’t wait for
me if you’re hungry”
Ever since Kyler and his daughter visited the Andersen Corporation that morning, Magnus couldn’t help
but feel a pang in his heart whenever he thought about the hardships Natalia faced living with the

In many ways, their fates were similar Both were rejected by their blood relatives, with parents who
didn’t care for them Even he was the respected son of the Andersen family, he, and Natalia, who had
grown up under the care of others, weren’t so different after all. And so, it broke Magnus heart to see
someone so kind and innocent be so distressed
“Ah, they say, ‘bros before hoes: Magnus. But it seems like the phrase was tailor–made for you The
three of them were sitting here, and when Magnus came back, he only engaged in conversation with
Natalia, completely ignoring them James was both amused and hurt After all, their bond of brotherhood
spanned over two decades, yet it seemed insignificant compared to the few months the young beauty
Natalia spent with Magnus. This truth was a bitter pill to swallow
However, James‘ complaints only earned him a dismissive sideways glance from Magnus. T’m happy.
What’s it to you?”
“Alright, alright, as long as you’re happy.” Seeing Magnus‘ stormy expression, Janes didn’t dare to
proyoke him further. He joked lightly before beating a hasty retreat.
Magnus didn’t earn his reputation as a jealous husband for nothing. It was better not to push his
buttons, lest he got caught in the crossfire.
By the time Magnus got back, it was already noon. So, shortly after his return, the servants brought out
the prepared lunch to the table.
