The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 575 His Eyes Never Left Her

"No way," Olivia shouted as she dodged and sprinted out of the room. "Natalie, act like a lady for once! You're not at the Langley residence anymore, so stop dressing like you're headed to a funeral."

Natalie paused and glanced down at her exposed arms and legs. The scars that used to cover her skin were now gone, thanks to the healing creams she had been using. Her porcelain skin could pull off any color now.

"Nat, come on already!" Olivia called from the doorway, poking her head back in. "Stop overthinking and just come out."

"Alright, alright," Natalie replied and followed her out.

They took the elevator down to the first floor, and as soon as the doors opened, Mason was already there waiting. Meanwhile, dressed in an all-black tracksuit, he stood beside several large bags filled with gear for fishing and camping.

"Morning, Nat, Olivia. Did you sleep well? Gorge already has breakfast ready, so let's eat. Oh, and Marcus called me. He's on his way now. If we eat quickly, we can head out right after," Mason said.

"Perfect!" Olivia grinned. "Mason, look at Nat today. Isn't she stunning? I dressed her!"

Mason gave Natalie a good once-over, then nodded with approval. "She looks amazing. Nat is a knockout, and my girlfriend clearly has magic hands."

He made sure to compliment them both-no one was left out. Then, he added, "Alright, breakfast is waiting."

With that, the three of them headed into the dining room. William and Charlotte were easy-going parents who did not insist on family meals. With their children busy, it was hard to gather everyone, so whoever woke first would eat first.

Besides, William and Charlotte retired early and spent most of their days relaxing. Occasionally, they would visit the company if boredom struck, but overall, they were content with their peaceful lives.

Moreover, they had finally found Natalie, their biological daughter. However, she did not like staying home.

As a result, William's and Charlotte's affection rarely had a chance to be shown in conventional ways. Nonetheless, despite not being clingy or needy, Natalie never doubted her parents' love even though she spent a lot of time apart from them.

In fact, she cherished her freedom, and her parents happily gave her space to live life on her own terms. They trusted that she would remember she always had a home and parents who loved her deeply. If she ever felt tired of being independent, all she needed to do was return home.

Gorge's breakfast spread was hearty and nutritious. He fussed around Natalie, grumbling about how she had lost weight again during her recent trip.
