The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 392 She Wants to Tame Him

Marcus carried Natalie back to his bedroom. His room was spacious, with black, white, and gray tones dominating, giving it a cold, minimalist feel.

After placing her on the large bed, he pulled the blanket over her and gently kissed her forehead. "Go to sleep."

Natalie mumbled something and suddenly opened her eyes. Her delicate eyes- clear as day—stared directly at Marcus without blinking.

The next second, she pulled her hands from under the blanket and wrapped them around Marcus' neck. "You're so handsome."

"Huh?" Marcus' lips curled into a smile. "Nat, you're drunk."

"I'm not drunk," Natalie shook her head vigorously. "I can drink a thousand glasses and never get drunk. I'm the best drinker in the Langley family. Ms. Natalie, that's me."

Marcus couldn't help but laugh. He leaned down, playing along with the drunk woman on the bed. "Did Grace or the Langley family often send you out to socialize and drink?"

Natalie shook her head. "No, no one dares make me drink. But I'm pretty impressive, aren't I?"

As she spoke, Natalie wore a proud expression. "They can't outdrink me, and neither can you." You're so handsome. Can I take you home? I have so much money. I can take care of you."

"Hmm, how are you planning to take care of me?"

Natalie made a motion with her hands in the air before hugging his neck again as if afraid he might run off. "I'll get someone to make me a golden cage and lock you inside. Then, I'll take care of your food and drinks every day. Sound good?"

Marcus looked at her serious expression and couldn't stop laughing again. "So, you want to keep me as your pet bird?"

"Pet bird?" Natalie tilted her head. "Aren't you a big eagle?"

A pet bird was small and delicate, but he was big, tall, and fierce. He didn't quite fit the pet bird description.

"Hmm, I'm a big eagle." Marcus played along. "Big eagles are fierce and hard to tame. Do you want to tame me?"

"Yes," Natalie answered without hesitation. She sat up, her beautiful eyes shining as she gazed at Marcus, her entire focus on him.
