The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 393 She's Sorry

Marcus' deep, magnetic voice, tinged with a hint of helplessness, drifted into Natalie's ears. "I don't want you to regret your actions once you sober up, regretting what you did when you were drunk."

Natalie, still a little dazed, didn't quite understand what he meant, but she yawned. After the commotion, her fatigue hit her again.

"If you don't want me to touch you, fine, you're so stingy." Natalie pouted and turned her back on him, no longer cuddling Marcus.

Seeing her childish behavior, Marcus chuckled. He hugged her from behind and kissed her hair. "When you're sober, and you know what you're doing, if you still want to touch me, I'll let you. Okay, now sleep."

Natalie mumbled something, but Marcus couldn't hear it clearly. He carefully held her from behind, gently patting her shoulder, like his grandfather used to do when he was a child, comforting him to sleep when he was afraid.

It didn't take long before Natalie fell into a deep sleep.

Marcus wasn't sleepy. He waited until Natalie was completely asleep before slowly pulling his hand away. He then pulled her closer and grabbed the remote to close all the curtains. He turned off the lights in the room before finally closing his eyes.

...

Natalie slept deeply and soundly, and she had a dream. In the dream, she caught a stunningly handsome man, half-covered by a white veil. She trapped him on the couch, touching him all over.

The man's eyes were cloudy, with the corners tinged red. His long, thick

eyelashes trembled as she teased him, looking like he was about to cry. The more she saw him like that, the more she wanted to tease him.

"Don't move, I'll take care of you." Natalie grabbed the man's chin and kissed him through the veil.

The next second, the veil fell off, and their lips met. Natalie finally saw the handsome face under the veil. Her eyes widened instantly, and her heart screamed in shock. It was Marcus.

Before she could react, Natalie suddenly shot up from the bed. As soon as she moved, she felt something pulling at her wrist. When she turned, she saw Marcus lying beside her, eyes closed.

What was going on? Natalie was in a panic.

Could it be that she was still dreaming? Was this a dream within a dream? Had she really taken advantage Marcus in her dream? She was completely frantic.

Right, to figure out whether she was dreaming, she could just pinch herself. So, she raised her hand and slapped herself.
