The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 507 Not All Feelings Are the Same

As Walter finished speaking, Natalie furrowed her brows again. "Walter, that's not what I meant."

"Nat, I won't bother you two." Marcus suddenly spoke up. "I'll wait outside."

"You don't have to go," Natalie said, reaching out to stop him. "I'm not taking your side just because you're my boyfriend. I'm just speaking based on the situation.

"Walter, I never distanced myself from you just because I got into a relationship. You were the one I chose from the orphanage and brought into the Langley family. We grew up together. What we share is different from what I have with Marcus. "And Marcus, you don't have to force yourself to walk away just because you're worried Walter and I might argue."

Natalie held Marcus' hand. She knew how jealous he could get and that no matter how jealous he was, he wouldn't lash out at her. He would just bottle it up, quietly struggling inside. Since she chose to be with him, she wouldn't let him spiral like that. That security a partner needs-she would give it to him.

"Walter, love and friendship don't conflict." Natalie looked at him seriously. "If there's ever a misunderstanding between us, I hope we clear it up right away. If you had a girlfriend, and you took her side in an argument with me, would you do it just because she's your girlfriend?"

Walter paused, then slowly shook his head. "No, I'd go by what's right."

"Exactly. And I'm doing the same. This has nothing to do with Marcus." Natalie pulled over a chair and sat down.

"Grace must stay in the police station. She can't be released. We've now obtained her phone and this photo album. All new evidence we find must be immediately submitted to the police.

"Grace's biggest concern is her biological daughter, Megan. And Megan is tied to the Umbrahex case involving Mrs. Holden, which makes Marcus a key person in this situation too. He doesn't need to leave. He can't leave."

Marcus gazed deeply at Natalie, his eyes filled with tenderness, warmth, and quiet gratitude. Yes, he had been jealous, but her words filled him with comfort and joy.

Walter, her defense of him still meant everything. He loved her,
