The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 656 Traveling Together

Natalie and Marcus got out of bed, washed up, and went downstairs. Looking around, however, there was no sign of Wesley or Laura in the villa.

The housekeeper told them that Laura had gone to work at Holden Group with Wesley early in the morning.

Breakfast had been kept warm in the kitchen and was immediately served once they came downstairs.

"Mr. Marcus, Mrs. Natalie, please enjoy your meal."

"Thank you."

Natalie and Marcus sat down at the dining table, chatting casually about the upcoming trip as they ate.

"We need to bring people with us," Natalie said. "Noah's the butler now, so we'll take Elijah and the others."

"I'll bring Connie," she added. "Sophia and Mr. Holt heard about it too. They'd like to come along."

"We're going on a honeymoon. What are Sophia and Zachary tagging along for?" Marcus sounded a little annoyed. "I don't want any third wheels ruining our time together."

"Well, maybe Mr. Holt and Sophia think we're the third wheels," Natalie said with a laugh. "Marcus, this isn't really a honeymoon. It's me bringing you into my life.

"I want you to know what else I've been doing besides being Elim.

"Sophia and Zachary just confirmed their relationship. It took a lot of courage for Sophia to take that step. They need time to grow closer.

"Right now, Samuel is still in Dithoria, and Sierra's preparing to file for divorce. Zachary just wants to take Sophia away from all that mess."

Natalie took a sip of milk. "You know, Sophia once claimed credit for saving your life, but I forgave her. She's always been grateful and has worked hard for me since.

"I don't blame her for what she did. I just think she is pitiful. Some people might say I'm wrong, but not everything in this world needs to be black and white.

"I'm a woman. When I was little and lived with the Langley family, I only pinned my hopes on Tyler too. I simply realized early enough not to rely on anyone and chose to depend only on myself.

"But Marcus, do you know something? Relying on yourself is really, really hard. I won't even pretend I've done everything on my own.

I hadn't met Mr. Langton, I might've died when I was a child. He saved me, and he never asked for anything in return. He once said, 'If you can help someone, then help.' The kindness you show today might come back to help you when you
