Chapter 110 Charles Supports Him Pursuing Nathaniel


Natalie withdrew her gaze and looked away, but Marcus continued to stare at her.

He sat before the small table. Given his tall stature and long legs, the table was clearly not designed for someone like him, making his posture while dining somewhat uncomfortable.

But at a time like this, having someone bring him food was already considered a blessing. Beggars couldn't be choosers, after all.

Natalie was still disguised in her male persona. Her good-looking face had been intentionally darkened slightly with the use of makeup, but her delicate facial features remained unaffected. Even all that makeup couldn't diminish her beauty.

The neatly trimmed short hair was casually combed, and a few strands of hair naturally fell over her eyes as she lowered her head.

From Marcus' angle, he could clearly see her defined facial contours and her delicate, high-bridged nose. Her pretty lips, unmarked by lipstick, were slightly pursed. It made her look somewhat indifferent and stern.

Natalie was dressed in a black tracksuit that concealed her figure. She had intentionally made herself appear taller, which also made her seem even slimmer.

Marcus' gaze unknowingly drifted to her chest. She had bound herself, but he had already seen the real thing when he had helped her remove the acupuncture needles before.

He had always kept his distance from women and never spared them much attention. In fact, he was known for his abstinence and indifference.

Yet, after one glance, he found himself constantly recalling that particular moment.

Marcus held his fork, but as he resumed eating, he suddenly found the food to be tasteless.

Natalie had no idea what he was thinking. She was focused on her phone and checking news about the Langleys in Amberton.

Olivia had mentioned that someone was targeting the Langleys and Langley Group, but for some reason, they hadn't dealt a fatal blow.

Victor was incompetent and arrogant, believing that Langley Group's success in Amberton was his own achievement. The reality was that it was thanks to the foundation Grace had built in its early years.
