The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 681 Pregnancy

After Natalie and Marcus ended the call with Laura, they continued strolling along the street.

Every day, Charlotte would send her messages, reminding her to eat well and have fun. Her brothers would also send messages in the group chat, as well as some money to let her spend.

Despite her busy schedule, Natalie always responded to her family's messages promptly.

Upon their return, she planned to visit the Walker residence more often. She had already mentioned it to Marcus, who fully supported her decision.

His only request was simple-if she wanted to stay over at the Walker residence, she had to take him with her. Natalie couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to hug him tightly.

After their hug, Marcus finally felt at ease. Ever since they had confirmed their feelings, Marcus had been dealing with lingering insecurity.

Natalie found it a little odd. She didn't quite understand why Marcus would feel

that way.

"Marcus, setting me aside for a moment, are there any places you would like to go to?" As they continued their stroll, Natalie suddenly looked over and asked, "Before meeting me, was there anywhere you especially loved or always wanted to visit?"

Marcus thought about it for a while, then shook his head. "Before I met you, everything in my life was already mapped out. Every day, I follow a schedule. Other than that, I spent most of my time with Grandpa."

The moment he mentioned Charles, Marcus' expression dimmed. If Charles were still around, he would've been the happiest and most content man alive.

Natalie held his hand. "If Grandpa could see how happy we are, he'd be smiling for sure."

"Yes." Marcus held her hand tightly. "Nat, thank you for staying by my side. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I ever would've made it through. I still think of Grandpa all the time. I dream of him often when I sleep at night."

As Marcus spoke, his eyes reddened. He turned his head, not wanting Natalie to see his vulnerable side.
