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."

"Sure," Marcus replied.

As they chatted, the chef had finished cooking, and the servers brought dishes to the table.

"This king crab is prepared three ways-steamed, salt and pepper, and garlic chili style," one server explained while setting down the plates.

"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."

Natalie looked at the table piled high with seafood. Beyond the window lay the boundless ocean under a clear, vibrant sky. Where the sea met the horizon, it formed a dazzling line of brilliant blue. Her heavy mood lifted in an instant.

Marcus hadn't ordered wine, though there were various small desserts, mostly chocolates.

Noticing the familiar packaging, Natalie realized it was the same brand she had found in her room at the Holden residence.

"Ms. Walker, please."

"Thank you."
