The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 689 A Call from Prison

Wesley looked at the disconnected call and sighed softly. "Forget it. We can't win an argument against Charlotte."

"So are we just going to give up and let Nat and Marcus stay at the Walker residence?" Laura's eyes began to water. "It's my fault. I'm useless."

"It's not your fault." Wesley's heart ached. "Charlotte has a point. Natalie is their biological daughter, but she was switched at birth. She didn't get to live a good life with the Langleys.

"Now, she just wants to care for Nat and make it up to her. We should understand that. Besides, we don't live that far from them.

"If Nat and Marcus live with the Walkers, we can just visit them whenever we have time. And because of the Umbrahex, you've suffered so much over the years too. I've always felt bad about that."

As he spoke, he pulled Laura into his arms. "Laura, honestly, Charlotte wasn't wrong. We missed out on a lot of good years while focusing on your treatment.

"Now that they're willing to take care of Nat and Marcus, we can enjoy the life we once missed out on. Doesn't that sound good?"

"I suppose that's the only way." Laura leaned against Wesley. She was still feeling a little regretful, but she was willing to listen to him.

"Our goal has always been to make sure Nat and Marcus are happy," Marcus stated. "As long as they're happy, that's enough for us."

"I agree." She was finally convinced. "Okay, we won't fight Charlotte over it. I'll send her a message to tell her not to be mad at me."

Wesley chuckled. "She's not really mad. She was just putting on a show so that we won't argue with her."

"Even so, I still want to send her a message."

"Go on, then."

Laura picked up her phone and sent Charlotte a message. "Charlotte, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I won't fight with you anymore about where Nat stays. Please don't be mad at me, okay?"
