The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 694

"Nat, I won't keep you any longer. Enjoy your trip with Marcus. If there's anything you need, just tell me. Don't be polite with me. I've truly changed." Sky's voice was warm and sincere.

Only then did Natalie respond. "All right. I understand. Thank you, Sky."

"Okay. I'm hanging up now. Have fun."

"Goodbye, Sky."

Natalie ended the call and looked up to find Marcus watching her intently.

"What is it? Is there something on my face? What are you staring at me like that?" she asked, touching her cheek.

Marcus gave a faint smile. "Nat, when did you talk to Zachary alone? I didn't know he and Sophia had forgiven your brother. I'm just curious, that's all. I've been trying to figure it out."

Natalie set down her phone. She had taken a nap in the RV, and by the time she woke up, several hours had passed. The vehicle had stopped outside a hotel that Timothy had picked along the route. She was planning to rest before getting out.

Sky's call had come in right after she got up. Since marrying Marcus, she no longer avoided answering the phone in front of him.

Hearing his question, she smiled and rested her chin in her hand, thinking for a while before speaking.

"If I had to explain it properly, we'd have to go back to before our wedding."

I'm listening," Marcus said, his voice gentle.

Natalie nodded and began.

It had been just before their wedding when the Remington family and Samuel came to Dithoria. There had been some unpleasant conflict between Samuel and Sophia, and everyone was aware of it.
