The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 576 If Marcus and Olivia Fell into the Water, Who Would Natalie Save First?

Mason ran up, refusing to back down, and grabbed Olivia's hand.

"Olivia, you're my girlfriend," he said.

Without hesitation, she smacked his arm. "I barely get to see Nat. Don't interrupt us! Go get the bags. Are you really going to make Marcus carry everything by himself?"

"But Nat wants to spend time with her boyfriend too!" Mason pouted. "Olivia, don't you want to feel my abs?"

Olivia quickly clamped a hand over his mouth, her eyes darting toward Natalie. With how flustered she was, she didn't notice the sly glint in his eyes.

"Shut up."

"I didn't hear or see anything," Natalie said, smirking knowingly. She stepped forward and reached for some of the bags Marcus was carrying. "Let me help." "No need," Marcus replied, shaking his head with an easy smile. "I've got it." "Elijah and Noah didn't come with you?" she asked.

It was the first time Natalie had ever seen Marcus doing something so... down-to- earth. A scion and company president like him, actually carrying bags? Unheard of.

"They're nearby, keeping an eye on things," he answered.

They chatted as they made their way to the car. Natalie stepped forward and popped open the trunk while Marcus loaded the bags inside.

Behind them, Mason was still struggling as Olivia tugged on his ear.

"Mason, you guys should take your own car!" Natalie turned and waved. "We're heading out first."

"Hey, wait for us!" Olivia shoved Mason aside and hurried after Natalie, but before she could take more than a step, Mason grabbed her wrist.

"Olivia, give Nat and Marcus some alone time. Plus, we haven't seen each other in so long!" He pouted dramatically. "You might not miss me, but I missed you."

"Get lost, loser." Olivia wasn't buying his act. "Men will only cloud my judgment."

Mason was at a loss for words.

Wasn't he supposed to be the adorable, clingy type women found adorable? So why was it that the moment Natalie came home Olivia didn't even want to look at him?

At first, he'd been worried that Natalie and Olivia might get jealous over him playing favorites. But now? Great. He was the one feeling jealous.
