The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 298 What Happens If She Goes to Amberton?

After Natalie whispered to William, she turned toward Marcus, who was sitting still. "Mr. Holden, it's time to rest."

"Ms. Walker, I'd like to talk to you for a moment." Marcus stood up. "Let's go to the balcony we were at earlier. The view is nice there, and the air's fresh."

Mason flashed a wink at Natalie, and she returned a reassuring glance. Only then did he leave.
