The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 634 Regrets of Unfulfilled Love

Lincoln's tone and gaze changed the atmosphere. Celeste walked over and grabbed Shawn's arm. "What's gotten into you today?" she hissed.

Then, looking at Lincoln, she said, "Lincoln, don't be mad! He had a few too many drinks earlier. Maybe he's not thinking straight."

"Wait." Marcus suddenly spoke up. He smiled slightly and draped his arm over Natalie's shoulder. "Sweetheart, why don't we walk Mr. Haines to the door?"

"Hm?" Natalie was baffled. Wasn't she supposed to sing? What was going on now?

"Lincoln, are you mad?" She asked, staring at Lincoln. She felt that Shawn's actions were rather abrupt. After all, they had only met once and weren't even acquaintances, let alone friends.

"No." Lincoln's icy expression melted instantly. He smiled and replied, "Shawn is just in a hurry. He has to join the production team immediately."

Shawn's face turned pale. He had always considered himself good-looking and physically attractive. However, against Marcus, who was an absolute stunner, he didn't stand a chance.

Besides, Natalie didn't even know who he was. This one-sided crush of his was nothing but a solitary fantasy. He didn't even have the chance to voice it aloud.

"Marcus, why don't you and Nat see Shawn out?" Lincoln suggested, pouring himself a glass of water and taking a leisurely sip.

Though he had been managing Walker Group, he was still an artist. So, he still had to take care of his voice.

"Alright, Lincoln." Marcus held Natalie's hand and flashed a polite smile at Shawn. "Mr. Haines, after you."

Celeste sighed inwardly. Shawn had promised her he would attend this gathering to get closure and not cause any trouble. But he just couldn't hold back, could he?

If he offended Marcus, it would've been the same as throwing away his career in the entertainment industry.

Natalie wasn't foolish. After thinking about it for a moment, she finally understood the situation. She nodded slightly. "Okay."

Nothing was going on between her and Shawn. His actions might not have raised suspicion under normal circumstances, but to someone observant, it could easily be misleading.
