The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 203 Seeds of Doubt

Natalie waited for a moment, but still Grace remained silent. She let out a soft chuckle again. "Mrs. Langley Senior, let me ask you one more time-have you ever hidden anything from me, deceived me, or used me? I'd advise you to think carefully before answering."

Natalie's tone remained calm and steady as she lightly tapped the table with her fingers. Since the call was on speaker mode, she could pick up her teacup that Walter had just refilled and took a leisurely sip.

"Mrs. Langley Senior, I've already given you a chance. This time, if you still can't grasp it, then there will truly be nothing left between us."

After saying this, Natalie fell silent.

Walter looked at her with concern. She gazed up at him and gave a small smile.

A hint of distress flashed in Walter's gaze, and he wanted to reach out and hug her, but a single look from Natalie stopped him.

Having to put on an act in front of Celeste and Shawn was one thing, but in private, Natalie didn't want things to become too ambiguous with Walter.

Shawn's subtle reactions all indicated that he held affection for her. However, Natalie was certain-she had never known him before, and they had never crossed paths.

Conversely, since Walter had grown up with her, publicly portraying them as childhood sweethearts was entirely believable.

Besides, Walter was one of her own people. If she was going to act, of course, she had to find someone she could trust.

However, she couldn't stand in the way of his romantic prospects. So, after ending this call, Natalie planned to make things clear with him.

If he ever met a girl he truly liked, he could tell her at any time, and they could end this fake relationship whenever he wanted.

Walter lowered his gaze, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Still, he quickly composed himself and sat quietly beside Natalie, listening as she spoke with Grace.

The breathing on the other end of the call grew heavier, followed by a series of coughs.

Natalie remained silent, listening as the coughing continued until it finally subsided with great difficulty.

Only then did Grace's weary, haggard voice come through. "Nattie, come to Amberton. Once we meet, I'll tell you everything you want to know."

"Alright," Natalie agreed without hesitation. She and Walter were planning to make a trip there anyway.
