The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 299 Jokes To Mask Truth

"Nat, you're back. Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Natalie was still standing by the window, staring out. On the bed, Olivia had woken up in the middle of the night, groggily speaking, "Aren't you tired? Come to bed."

"Okay, I'll be right there," Natalie replied. She watched Marcus' car disappear from view and then closed the curtains before heading back to her bedroom.

After Marcus' car had left Walker Estate and made its way onto the main road, Marcus finally spoke. "Noah, take me to Goodwill Pharmacy."

"Yes, Mr. Holden."

There were many branches of Goodwill Pharmacy, but Marcus was headed to the main hall where Sophia was.

When they arrived, the doors were shut tight, and the area was quiet.

"Mr. Holden, should I knock?" Noah asked respectfully. At this time of night, the streets were mostly empty, except for cleaners. The pharmacy didn't operate through the night, but in emergencies, it was acceptable to knock.

"No need. We'll wait here for them to open," Marcus replied, closing his eyes. With Charles staying at the Walker Manor tonight, he didn't feel like heading back home. "Noah, you can rest too."

"Mr. Holden, if you'd like, I can arrange a room for you at the hotel nearby. It's not ideal to rest in the car."

There was a hotel just a mile from Goodwill Pharmacy, and sleeping in the car until it opened wouldn't provide proper rest. Noah, ever thoughtful, was suggesting a better option.

"Alright, let's head to the hotel then," Marcus agreed.

After resting there for a while, he instructed Noah, "Let me know when the pharmacy opens."

"Yes, Mr. Holden."
