The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 416

Chapter 416 My Parents Can Be Yours Too

"Mrs. Walker, please rest assured. Even if I go bald myself, I won't let a single strand of Nat's hair be harmed," Marcus promised seriously. "I will never let her get hurt."

"Good, that's all I need to hear." Charlotte smiled warmly and opened her arms toward him. "Marcus, come here. Let me give you a hug."

Marcus was confused.

Seeing that he didn't move, Charlotte simply nudged William. "Honey, go hug Marcus. He never had a mother's love, nor a father's. If I'm giving him a hug, you should too."

William, ever the devoted husband, immediately stood up and embraced Marcus. "Marcus, come here. Let me give you a big hug full of love."

Marcus was at a loss for words.

Natalie stood to the side, smiled mischievously, and winked at him as if to say, "See? My mom and dad can be yours too."

Marcus instantly understood what she tried to say, and a wave of indescribable emotion washed over him. His usually cool, striking eyes glistened with an unspoken warmth.

"Alright, eat up! Once you're done, you should get going!" Charlotte watched the interaction between Natalie and Marcus with complicated emotions.

She had wanted to keep Natalie at home for a few more years, letting her enjoy a life of ease and comfort. But Natalie had always been independent-nothing like Emma, who only cared about the Walker family's wealth and status.

Natalie was their pride. And so, if she wanted to spread her wings and fly, as her parents, they would let her.

Marcus was the best by every criterion of a man in Dithoria.

Their engagement had been set since childhood, but misunderstandings had led them down a more complicated path.

Still, that winding road had ultimately led them back to where they were always meant to be.

"Marcus, I'm entrusting Nat to you. Make sure no one from the Langley family, or anyone else for that matter, ever bullies her," Charlotte said seriously.

Marcus nodded solemnly. "I understand, Mrs. Walker. You and Mr. Walker can rest easy."

"We've always trusted you," William said. "Nat only recently returned to us, and all we want is for her to be cherished. We have no objections to you being together, but you'd better not mistreat her.
