The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 362 Marcus Couldn't Contain His Jealousy

Natalie's mind was a mess. Could it be that Marcus liked her only because he found out she was the one who saved him when they were little? So, he wanted to repay his debt by marrying her?

But if that were the case, shouldn't he have married Sophia long ago?

Natalie got more confused the more she thought about it. Marcus' sudden kiss had completely rattled her, leaving her unable to think straight.

"Nat, I'm sorry," Marcus said in a hushed voice. "I... couldn't hold back just now."

Hearing her say she preferred Tyler, he really couldn't restrain that jealousy boiling inside him.

The truth was he'd wanted to kiss her for a long time. Back when she saved him from the drug, she was willing to help him but wouldn't let him touch her. It gave him an indescribable sadness and left him feeling insecure.

Natalie turned her head to look at him and noticed that not only were his ears bright red, but his cheeks and nose were as well.

"Marcus, was that your first kiss?" she asked without thinking.

"What?" He didn't catch it for a moment, but then he quickly realized what she meant. His lips curved slightly. "Yes."

He had never liked Emma, so he did everything he could to avoid her. Let alone kissing someone; he had never even held a woman's hand before.

At social events that required a female companion, he always showed up alone. He was the president of the Holden Group and the wealthiest man in the world. No one dared comment on how he behaved.

Any woman who tried getting close would be stopped by Elijah or Noah. So, all these years, the only glimpse he'd had of a woman's body was that time he rescued Natalie.

Looking at his face, red as a tomato, Natalie tilted her head and asked, "Marcus, do you like me?"
