The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 153 Not Answering Grace's Call

Marcus followed behind Natalie.

Since the Walkers had not announced that Natalie was their real daughter, he pretended he did not know. However, their acting skills were poor.

"Ms. Walker, allow me to treat you to a meal," he said.

"Sure."

Natalie had realized that Marcus was not just showing her around. He was also keeping tabs on her.

Since he said nothing about it, she did not call him out on it. If Marcus wanted to pretend, she would go along with him.

The resort had its own hotel, so Marcus took Natalie to the restaurant. He ordered the specialty forest meal. Then, he started using his phone to handle some business.

Natalie also checked her phone for emails. She dealt with a few important ones before the server began to bring the dishes.

They served garlic mushrooms, roasted mushrooms, cheesy mushrooms, mushroom soup, and a mushroom salad.

Natalie looked at the table full of mushroom-based dishes. It seemed like the forest specialty meal was basically a mushroom feast.

"Please enjoy your meal," the server said.

"Alright, thank you," Marcus said.

He put down his phone and handed the cutlery to Natalie. "Please, Ms. Walker."

Natalie had assumed that Marcus wouldn't bother with small tasks like passing cutlery, yet he did it so naturally.

She nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Holden."
