The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 587 As Long as She's Missing, He won't Be at Ease

Natalie's heart ached as she watched Sheldon shedding tears. But before she could say anything, Marcus spoke up.

"Sheldon, thank you for preparing all of this for Nat and me. Go get some rest. The rest of you can leave as well."

"Yes, Mr. Holden."

Sheldon waved his hand at the helpers, and they quickly walked away. Sheldon nodded at Marcus and Natalie before following suit.

Marcus held Natalie's hand as they walked through the rose petals scattered across the floor. Then, they sat down at the dining table.

Looking at the beautiful cake, fresh flowers, and the lavish food and wine, Natalie said softly, "Sheldon really put his heart into this."

"Yes. Ever since Grandpa passed away, he hasn't been himself," Marcus replied in a husky voice. "Nat, I'm worried about Sheldon's mental state. I had a deep conversation with him, but I didn't notice anything abnormal."

"Sheldon has been with Grandpa for a long time, so he's no ordinary man." She raised her glass toward him. "Let's not waste his kind gesture."

"Cheers."

"Cheers."

Marcus raised his glass and clinked it against Natalie's lightly. "In a way, Sheldon is like my other grandfather. He's always cared for me, no less than Grandpa did. But still, his loyalty has always belonged to Grandpa."

As Marcus spoke, he picked up the fork and knife, then started slicing his steak. "Nat, I'm just worried he might end up on the same path as Grandpa."

"He won't. Sheldon will take Grandpa's place and watch us get married and have kids. He will even help take care of our children," Natalie reassured him. However, she wasn't fully convinced of herself.

Marcus' premonition had always been accurate. That was because he understood Sheldon far better than she did.

"Let's hope so." Marcus took a sip of the wine. "Today is a special day for us. Let's not talk about such unpleasant things."

Natalie nodded. "Let's
