The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 539

Chapter 539 Nat, Let's Get Engaged

As soon as Natalie finished speaking, Marcus remained silent for a long time. He stared at the trees before him, feeling as if his heart was being gripped tightly, making it hard to breathe.

The sky was bright, but he felt as if the world in front of him was plunged into darkness.

Natalie didn't say another word. Marcus was smart, so there was no need to elaborate further.

Marcus understood Charles's condition, but he refused to accept it. That was why he was asking her.

But she would never lie to him about something that important. Even if it had good intentions, she didn't want to lie to him.

Time ticked by, minute by minute. The daylight faded into dusk, and then night fell. The lights around Holden Residence gradually lit up, illuminating the darkness.

Yet, in Marcus' eyes, the world remained pitch black.

Natalie stepped forward, gently squeezing his fingers. "Marcus, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," he murmured. "Sorry for worrying you."

Then, Marcus' gaze locked onto hers. "Nat, let's get engaged."

At that moment, he seemed to finally regain his focus. Then, he repeated his

words slowly and clearly, "Let's get engaged, Natalie Walker."

Marcus let out a bitter chuckle. "No, I'm serious."
