The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 686 Fighting for Custody of the Baby

A gentle smile appeared on Natalie's face as she tenderly stroked her belly.

"Timothy's just worried about me," she said. "I know that. I'll go cheer him up."

She reached into the bag she carried around, pulled out a notebook, and tore off a sheet of paper. She started folding the piece of paper, and in no time at all, she had crafted a small paper dog.

"Mason, help me give this puppy to Timothy."

"What about me? Don't I get one?" Mason clutched his chest. "My heart hurts. My little sister only loves Timothy but not me. My heart is broken into pieces. Only my little sister can make me feel better."

Natalie burst out laughing. She would never forget that the first person she truly accepted after returning to the Walker family was Mason.

The crystal ball Mason had given her back then made her feel what it was like to have a brother who truly cared.

Her gaze softened a little as she smiled. "I'll make a bigger one for you. As for cheering Timothy up, I'll let you take care of it."

"It's a piece of cake." Seeing Natalie smile, he smiled back at her. He wasn't jealous or vying for attention. He was just messing around, trying to make her laugh. "I'll handle Timothy. I guarantee that by the time we get to Dithoria, he'll be smiling like a child.

He continued, "Nat, I heard from Elijah that you and Marcus both went through a lot in Ashford Vale. I can tell you didn't rest well just by looking at the motel. The two of you should get some rest. Once we arrive, I'll wake you both up."

Mason stepped forward to make the bed for Natalie. "Nat, sleep here. Marcus can sleep on the opposite bed." He pointed at the bed across from her. "You don't have any objections, do you, Marcus?"

Even if he did, he could only keep them to himself. "No, I don't. Thank you, Mason."

"Nat, get some rest."
