Chapter 400 Playing the Sympathy Card Works

Natalie tugged at Marcus with a mischievous gleam in her eye. "Didn't you say

you wanted my mom to hug you so you could feel the motherly love you've never had? Well, now she's right here. Don't be shy!"

Marcus immediately played along, his eyes filled with mock sorrow and vulnerability as he glanced toward Charlotte. "Mrs. Walker, is it alright?"

Charlotte was momentarily speechless.

William, observing the situation, let out a deep sigh. After a moment, he decided to speak up in support of Marcus. "Since Marcus has never experienced that kind of motherly love, Charlotte, just give him a hug. Think of it as doing a good deed."

Charlotte could only sigh again.

Taking the opportunity, Marcus meekly spoke up once more, "Mrs. Walker, may 1?"

"Fine! Just come here and give me a hug."

Charlotte opened her arms, giving Marcus a gentle hug. As she did so, she patted his back.

"Are your parents still not back?" she asked softly.

Marcus' voice was muffled as he replied, "Yes, I've stopped hoping after all these years."

"It's alright. You've grown up healthy and strong." Charlotte gave Marcus' shoulder

a light pat before he slowly stepped back from her embrace.

"Mr. Walker, can I have a hug too?" Marcus asked, his eyes showing a mix of longing and admiration. "When I was a child, I envied Mason and Lincoln because they had parents who cared for them."

"I remember when I came to the Walker family, I would watch you pick up Mason and spin him around, even let him ride on your shoulders. I was always so envious of that."

At his words, William was taken back to the days when his children were young, especially Mason, his youngest son, whom he had always spoiled a little more than the others.
