Chapter 371 The Grueling Quest to Win Natalie Back

Natalie gazed at Marcus with an icy detachment. Turning to Lincoln, she asked, "Lincoln, would you visit Sophia with me?"

"Of course, I'll accompany you." Lincoln's spirits lifted at once.

His sister shouldn't be won over so effortlessly by any man, even if that man happened to be Marcus. It was simply out of the question.

Natalie said, "Marcus, don't come to my house anymore if you have no reason to, and stop trying to find me. I don't have feelings for you, and you shouldn't have any for me, either."

Marcus remained silent, his eyes locked on Natalie without a blink. Her words left a trace of sadness and disappointment in his deep, dark eyes.

Witnessing his reaction, Natalie couldn't help but remember when Marcus sat alone in the Helianese restaurant, enveloped in a heavy cloud of melancholy. But then Lincoln tugged at her arm. "Nat, let's go see Sophia together."

"Alright," Natalie replied. She turned away from Marcus, not glancing back, and quickly walked away with Lincoln.

Marcus stood in the Walker residence's living room, watching as Natalie and Lincoln walked away.

Ethan stood behind him, trembling slightly. Marcus' intense demeanor was undeniably intimidating.

However, Marcus soon managed a slight smile. "Ethan, take this document to Ms. Walker."

"Yes, Mr. Marcus."

Ethan took the document and went to the main entrance to wait for Natalie.

Meanwhile, Marcus got into his car. In the back seat sat a beautifully wrapped bouquet of gardenias and a brand-new box of chocolates.

Marcus had an overseas chocolate factory create a new flavor, which was flown in early that morning. He hadn't gotten any sleep the night before.

That morning, he visited a flower shop to buy gardenias and, with the airlifted chocolates in hand, eagerly went to see Natalie.

Marcus picked up the chocolates with his fingers. He knew winning Natalie over wouldn't be easy, and there was significant resentment toward him from the Walker family. But that didn't matter to him. If he could call off the engagement, he could propose anew.
