The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 635 I Don't Know

Seeing Marcus smile, the corners of Natalie's lips curled up slightly. Marcus was easily jealous but also easy to appease.

"Let's go inside," Natalie said. "Since my brothers are all here, let's not ruin the mood, okay?"

"Sure. I won't ruin the mood." Marcus looked aggrieved. "I'm well-behaved."

"Yes, yes. Mr. Holden, you're the best-behaved person." Natalie reached out, and Marcus immediately lowered his head so she could ruffle his hair.

Shawn, who was standing nearby, watched as Marcus performed that action naturally. He could tell that Natalie must have ruffled his hair quite often.

The intimate actions between them were truly enviable. However, it wasn't something he should long for.

"Alright! Let's go inside!"

"Okay."

Hand in hand, the two of them returned to the club.

Shawn remained standing where he was. When he had stepped outside earlier, he had forgotten his coat. It was already autumn in Dithoria, so the evening breeze carried a chill.

"Achoo!" Shawn suddenly sneezed. His vision blurred. As he wiped his face, he realized his cheeks were wet with tears without himself knowing.

His heart felt as though a piece had been hollowed out.

In the past, he didn't get to confess. And now, there was no chance for him to do so in the future.

This one-sided crush had ultimately come to an end.

Perhaps, Natalie would never find out when he had first met her or when he had fallen for her. To her, he had always been just a stranger.

So, what right did he have to expect her to acknowledge his feelings and respond to them? It was all just his own wishful thinking.

When Natalie and Marcus returned inside, the music had been turned off. Natalie's brothers were all seated together, while Celeste sat alone across from them.
