Chapter 164 Grace Moved Into The Holden Residence


Natalie's sudden thanks and apology caught Marcus off guard. Seeing her bowing, he quickly stood up and reached out to stop her.

"Ms. Walker, there's no need for that. I helped you because you helped me first. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered," he said.

Natalie smiled and nodded. "Alright, let's not dwell on anything unpleasant. Since we're already out at sea, I'll make the most of it."

"We also have steamed lobster, caviar, tuna belly sashimi, shrimp sashimi, prawn sashimi, grilled lobster with black pepper, baked lobster with cheese, grilled snapper, tender beef ribs, and truffle foie gras."

When the server finished introducing the dishes, Marcus waved him away. "Ms. Walker, please."
