The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 650

William and Charlotte composed themselves and resumed greeting the guests. They wanted to give everything they could to their children.

They didn't worry much about their sons. Their daughter didn't really need their help, either. Even so, as parents, they still hoped to give her just a little more.

…

In the heart of Dithoria, a long line of Rolls-Royce Phantoms cruised down the avenue. The bridal convoy gleamed under the sun, commanding attention wherever it passed.

Drones filmed the entire procession from above, and every giant billboard in the city was broadcasting Marcus and Natalie's wedding in real time.

By the time the convoy arrived at Holden Residence, Wesley and Laura were already waiting at the entrance.

The Holden family had also simplified many of the usual rituals. After all, there was still an afternoon wedding banquet to attend at the hotel.

As the cars came to a stop, Marcus was the first to step out. From one of the lead vehicles, Gorge got out and whispered something to him in a low voice.

Marcus nodded slightly, then carefully lifted Natalie into his arms and stepped out with her.

Laura's eyes instantly welled up when she saw her son, dressed so handsomely in his wedding suit, carrying his breathtaking bride.

She clutched Wesley's wrist. "Wesley, our son is getting married."

"Yes, Marcus has grown up. He's married now. It's just a pity that Father can't see this," Wesley said, emotion thick in his voice.

At the mention of Charles, Laura felt silent. Charles had treated her with great kindness. Ever since she married Wesley, he had cherished her like his own daughter.

If not for Cassie, they could have been a truly happy family.

Wesley gently wiped his eyes. "Laura, don't think too much. If Father could see this from the afterlife, he would be happy."

"Yes." She nodded. Charles had been laid to rest under the largest maple tree in Holden Residence. He would know about the wedding. And he would surely be smiling.

As they watched Marcus carry Natalie toward them, Laura was suddenly reminded of her own wedding, so many years ago.

Soon, Marcus arrived in front of them, still carrying Natalie. "Father. Mother," he greeted them respectfully.

He then glanced at the woman in his arms and smiled. "Mother, I've married the woman I love."

"That's wonderful." Laura's eyes misted over again, but her smile was gentle and full of affection as she looked at Natalie. "Nat, I'll be a good mother-in-law. I promise. Don't be afraid. I'll treat you very well."

Natalie smiled. "Mom, I'm not afraid. I'll be good to you too."

Laura laughed softly. "Come on inside. There are a lot of people here today, but your father-in-law has arranged everything. I don't need to worry about a thing," she said.

She wiped her eyes. "And Sheldon… After waiting all this time, he just couldn't wait one more day."

"Laura, don't blame him. He's getting older. He told me he wasn't feeling well, and when the doctor checked him, they found he had caught something contagious. I told him to rest.

"He didn't want to risk passing anything to others, so he left a message and went to his little cottage in the countryside to recover. There's a yard there. He said he wants to grow vegetables and raise chickens. After the wedding is over, we can go visit him together."

"Alright." Laura nodded.

She couldn't help but worry about Sheldon. If it hadn't been for his constant encouragement and support, she would never have had the courage to return to Holden Residence, much less rekindle her relationship with Wesley.

Together, the couple walked inside and took their seats.

They watched as Marcus and Natalie made their way to the memorial table set in the corner of Holden Residence's living room.

A photograph of Charles stood surrounded by white lilies and the soft glow of two tall candles.
