The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 550

Chapter 550 He Promised Not To Fall Apart

The moment the Walker family saw Marcus and Natalie return, everyone rose to their feet.

"Marcus, Nat, come sit down and get some rest." Charlotte was the first to speak.

Natalie nodded gently. She reached for Marcus' hand and led him to the sofa. "You've been through a lot these past few days. Marcus, would you consider staying with us for a while?" Charlotte asked, her tone full of concern.

She studied him carefully. In just a few days, he looked like he had lost weight. His complexion was pale, and the light that used to gleam in his eyes had dulled.

"Mrs. Walker, I'm alright," Marcus said with a small smile.

"There's still a lot to handle at Holden Residence. Even though the funeral's over and my mother's home now. I still have work to do. But I promise, I'm not going to fall apart. I know it's been a lot on you-Mr. and Mrs. Walker, and all of Nat's brothers."

He already saw them as his own, just like Natalie did.

All four of Natalie's brothers had dropped everything to stand by him. The only one missing was Sky, still serving time.

Natalie had been with Marcus every step of the way.

Sky had only been allowed out to attend Charles' funeral because the Walker family had submitted a special request.

Knowing he didn't have the full picture, he chose to stay silent. What he really wanted was to speak to Natalie and apologize.

He had been on his best behavior in prison, working toward early release. When he finally got out, he planned to be the kind of older brother she deserved and make up for everything he had done.

"Mrs. Walker, Mr. Walker, really, I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me," Marcus said, still trying to smile.

"You've all done enough. I have Nat here with me, and that's more than enough. Please go home and rest."

He turned to her. "Nat, isn't that right?"

Natalie didn't hesitate. "Of course."
