Chapter 326 He Does It on Purpose

Natalie was holding her breath. Just as she lifted her hand, getting ready to slap Marcus, he immediately returned to his seat and let out an awkward cough.

"There's construction on some stretches, and it gets bumpy in places. Better keep your seatbelt on."

As soon as he finished his sentence, he buckled himself up as well.

Natalie was at a loss for words.

The ride was smooth all the way to Holden Residence, and Natalie never spotted any roadwork throughout.

She glanced at Marcus, only to see him grinning at her. Unruffled, he leaned back and closed his eyes, as if being caught in a lie was nothing worth worrying about.

The corner of Natalie's lips twitched a little. "What a bastard... I knew he did it on purpose!" she thought.

"Don't be mad, okay?" Marcus said. "I'll bring you to The Book Sanctum."

"Okay."

Natalie trailed behind Marcus. Connie was still staying at Holden Residence to take care of Charles. When she saw Natalie come, she ran outside to welcome her.

"Doctor... I mean, hi, Ms. Walker!"

Connie rushed toward Natalie. She was so excited that she almost called Natalie "Dr. Elim".

"How's Grandpa Charles?" Natalie asked.

"He's feeling much better now. Other than taking the medicine on time every day, he exercises with me in the morning too!"

Connie continued with a beam, "Mr. Holden Senior also gave me a lot of gifts! They're all valuable stuff."

Natalie chuckled. "You can bring Grandpa Charles to the hospital for a full-body checkup five days later. Once you confirm that he's all good, you're good to go."

"Will do," Connie replied happily. "Ms. Walker, are you here to visit Mr. Holden Senior?"
