The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 204 His Oath Did Not Seem Fake

Celeste's gaze was bold and fiery. And although Natalie was calm, she still felt unnerved by the former's stare.

"Celeste, is there something on my face?" she asked.

Celeste nodded. "Yeah! There's some good looks."

Natalie was rendered speechless. She served Celeste and Shawn some tea, pushing the cups toward them.

"After dinner, Walter and I have something to take care of, so we'll head back first.

"Celeste, do you and Mr. Haines have work to do later?" Natalie asked.

"Nope."

Although Celeste was a famous celebrity, her schedule wasn't packed. Her manager was her sister-in-law, and the Kennedy family didn't need her to toil to earn money. She didn't lack money herself; she just entered the entertainment industry because she liked it and wanted to have things to do.

Therefore, when Celeste was done with her schedule for the day, she could rest after. Since her manager was a family member, she never had to worry about anything. Instead, her sister-in-law was often worried about her.

Despite how often her sister-in-law scolded her, she still spoiled Celeste plenty.

"Nat, you're so pretty. Have you ever thought about joining the entertainment industry?" Celeste grinned. "You can debut under the title of 'Celeste's cousin,' and if Lincoln helps you pave the way, you can become a global icon-a top-tier superstar."

Natalie shook her head. "No thanks. I'm not interested in acting."

"Then, what are you interested in?"

Natalie thought about it for a moment. What interested her most was saving lives and the sketchbook of herbs that Federrick had given her.

If she could find the herbs from that sketchbook, that would be the best thing for her.

She had originally planned to search for the herbs with Marcus, but they ended up gathering mushrooms instead.

When Natalie thought about Marcus, her expression turned cold. Since he was so disgusted and repulsed by her, then she wouldn't bother going herb-hunting with him again.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll decide later," Natalie replied.
