After Marcus thanked her, he averted his gaze. Had Natalie observed closely, she might have seen the slight tremor in his fingers.

Growing up, Marcus never met his parents. Whenever he inquired about them, Charles would simply pat his head and assure him that they were traveling and would return with gifts.

There was a time when he nearly drowned in the sea. Following his rescue, he pleaded with Charles, yearning to meet his parents, but his desire remained unfulfilled.

Charles did bring Sophia to his home and allowed her to spend the night. However, the following day, he had her return to the Sinclair residence.

Following this, Sophia and Marcus developed a friendship. Marcus visited the Sinclair residence multiple times. Aware that Sophia's circumstances there weren't favorable, he began to offer her protection occasionally.
