The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 82

There were no servants around, and she had a peculiar habit; she was afraid of the dark and

thunderstorms.

"The CEO will be back, and we've got a housemaid, Marian, who will see to your needs," Jack glanced

at Sabrina, "If there's nothing else, Ms. Shaw, I'll be on my way."

"Alright. Thank you." Having a housemaid was enough. She wouldn't be alone in such a grand

mansion. She did enjoy solitude, but being in an unfamiliar place was a different matter.

Sabrina gently pushed open the door. The mansion was newly renovated, with luxurious furniture that

spoke volumes about the wealth of the person living there. She noticed a pair of new women's slippers

on the shoe rack and put them on.

In the kitchen, a woman was arranging ingredients. Sabrina approached her, "Hello."

The woman immediately looked up, smiling at Sabrina, "Hi, are you Ms. Shaw? I'm Marian, I'll be taking

good care of you. Anything you need, just let me know."

Marian enthusiastically guided Sabrina to the sofa. "Have a rest, dinner will be ready soon." After taking

Sabrina's luggage upstairs, Marian went back to the kitchen.

Late at night, Sabrina was alone in her room after Marian had served her dinner and left.

The mansion was indeed hers alone. There were six bedrooms upstairs, and she chose one at the end

to settle into.

Looking around, she noticed that only one room had been occupied while the others were empty. One

of them was locked. That room must belong to her fiancé, whom she had not met yet.

She looked out of the window at the twinkling stars in the night sky, feeling the cool breeze on her face.

After taking a shower, she sat on the bed and logged onto her Messenger. Seeing Lexi and Natalia

online, the three of them started chatting happily.

Sabrina: [Hi, darlings. Did you miss me, or you just knew I'd be lonely and decided to keep me

company?]

Lexi: [Aren't you with your fiancé? You just moved in today. You should ask him to show you around.]

Sabrina: [I haven't met him yet. I'm all alone in this huge mansion. (Sad)]

Natalia: [Sabrina, where is he?]

Sabrina: [I don't know, and I don't care. I'll go to school tomorrow to see if there are any courses I can

join.]

Lexi: [Oh, my dear Sabrina, how can your fiancé be so heartless? Leaving such a beautiful lady alone

in a mansion, how can he bear it?]

Sabrina: [Oh, please. I'm fine on my own.]

Natalia: [Take care of yourself, call us if you need anything.]

Sabrina: [Don't worry about me. I can handle anything. Haha, nothing will happen.]

She closed her phone and shut her eyes.

Suddenly in the middle of the night, a thunderstorm started, waking her up. She was so frightened by

the thunder and the trees dancing in the wind outside her window that she pulled the blanket over her

head. She hid under the blanket until dawn.

After a while, someone suddenly pulled the blanket off her.

"Ah!" She screamed.

"Ms. Shaw, it's me. What happened?" Marian had arrived early and, seeing Sabrina hadn't gotten up, Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

she decided to check on her. She hadn't expected to find Sabrina hiding under the blanket, and when

she removed it, Sabrina screamed.

"Oh Marian." She glanced at the window, where sunlight was already streaming in. It was morning.

"What happened? Were you scared? Or did you have a nightmare?"

"No." She couldn't admit that she was afraid of thunder.

"It's alright. Maybe you're just not used to being here yet. You're missing home, aren't you? It'll be

better once Mr. Cliff comes back." Marian smiled and handed Sabrina her clothes.

"Do you need any help getting dressed, Ms. Shaw? Breakfast is ready." Marian was a considerate

housemaid.

"I got this, thank you, Marian. Go ahead, I'll be right down."

After breakfast, Sabrina went to the school her grandfather had arranged for her. She met Mr. Tom, her

professor in France.

Tom had long, brown hair and a slim figure. He was quite tall, and his face lit up with dimples when he

smiled.

"Miss Shaw, I didn't expect you to come so soon. I thought you'd wait until school started. Now that

you're here, it's perfect. Our summer compulsory course is Art. Are you interested?" Tom asked,

flashing his bright white teeth.

"Sure, I'd love to, Mr. Tom. You're the most handsome professor I've ever seen." Sabrina couldn't resist

buttering up her professor.

"Hahaha. Thank you, Ms. Shaw. I hope we have a great time learning together."

From that day on, Sabrina devoted herself to school.

A week passed, and her so-called fiancé had still not shown up. Sabrina laughed. Perfect, if he didn't

want to show up, he didn't have to. They could each live their own lives.

He was terribly rude though. Even if she was a guest, he should have at least greeted her. How much

he must despise her not to show up. Well, that suited her fine. She enjoyed the peace anyway.

Every day, Sabrina would stand on the balcony, watching the sunrise and sunset. She decided not to

think about her fiancé anymore. She wanted to live her own life. His absence was a relief; she didn't

have to deal with a stranger. Her lively personality quickly won her the affection of her classmates.

There was a girl from Australia named Evelyn, and she and Sabrina instantly hit it off, quickly becoming

good friends.

"Sabrina, why don't you come over to my place after class today? I'll cook some traditional Australian

dishes for you." Evelyn's large, wavy hair covered her petite face.

"Traditional Australian dishes?" Sabrina hadn't heard of any traditional Australian dishes, and only

knew that their steak was cheap and delicious.

"Yes, dear, come on, you'll know once you're there." Evelyn insisted on having her over.

Sabrina thought about it. Going home meant being alone, so she might as well visit Evelyn's house.

Sabrina accompanied Evelyn to her home, where she was introduced to Evelyn's brother and their

mother, both of whom were working in France.

When Sabrina entered their home, Evelyn's family was delighted, and throughout the entire dinner,

laughter filled the air. After being in France for a while, Sabrina finally felt happy for the first time.

Evelyn's brother, Lance, was a gentle and profound man. He served Sabrina graciously, assisting her in

cutting her steak and encouraging her to eat heartily. After all, they were all expatriates, and their

meeting here was truly serendipitous.

Sabrina graciously accepted the family's warmth. After a delightful dinner, Lance offered to drive

Sabrina home.

As they approached the Crown Estate, Sabrina noticed the lights blazing in the mansion. Could it be

that Marian was still awake, waiting for her?
