The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 218 A Conversation Cut Short

Hector burst into laughter at his own joke. Seeing Natalie's expression of sheer exasperation, he reached out and ruffled her hair.

"I was just messing with you. But hey, if you think the plan is doable, I fully support

it. Mr. Holden Senior is getting old, so keep him happy. Just his inheritance alone would rake in a fortune."

Natalie was at a loss for words.

So now her dear brother was eyeing Charles' inheritance?

"Hector, I think... you'd look pretty good dressed as a woman," she said.

Hector tapped her lightly on the head. "Then, I'll dress up for you next time- guaranteed to make you fall head over heels."

Natalie was done.

Fine. She lost this round.

"Alright, alright, I was just joking. Look at you taking it so seriously." Hector chuckled, thoroughly amused. Natalie was nothing like Emma in terms of personality.

But that exasperated look on Natalie's face? Absolutely adorable.

Of course, Natalie wasn't mad. She was always composed, and emotionally steady. She didn't get worked up over jokes or trivial matters.

"Alright, Hector. I'm heading out now."

"Yeah, go ahead! Oh, and Nat, your welcome party is coming up soon. Mother went to Amberton yesterday, but she'll be back the day before the event."

"Got it. Thanks, Hector."

Natalie knew exactly what that meant. After their phone call, Charlotte must have rushed to Amberton to confront Diana.

Leaving Hector's office, Natalie met up with Charles, and they left the hospital together.

Charles's recovery had been going well.

She could end the acupuncture sessions ahead of schedule. From now on, his health could be maintained with medication alone.

In time, he wouldn't even need that anymore.

"Grandpa Charles, you and Sheldon should go on ahead. I need to stop by my place."

"Nattie, why don't you have a meal with us before you go?"

"There's no need, Grandpa Charles," Natalie politely declined.

She glanced at her phone to check the time. "I'll make sure Connie knows the exact dosage and schedule for your medication, so you don't have to worry."
