The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 655

As they lay in bed, Laura instinctively curled into Wesley's embrace. "Wesley, I'm a little scared," she whispered.

"Don't be scared. I'm here," Wesley said, pulling Laura closer, just like the nights after they got married, when she hadn't yet been affected by Umbrahex.

"Laura, I was thinking," Wesley continued. "Tomorrow morning, when Marcus and Nattie wake up, we should send them on their honeymoon. If they stay here, they'll definitely sense something's wrong. It's better to send them away. After I take care of everything with Sheldon, I'll slowly tell them."

Laura nodded in his arms. "Alright, Wesley. I have no objections."

"Don't worry, I'm here. With Dad gone, it's my turn to take responsibility. We've been away these past few years, and while we didn't exactly leave for fun, we haven't contributed much at home either.

"Laura, if you want to open a flower shop, then do it. Don't worry about anything at home. Just focus on being happy and doing what you love," Wesley said, gently kissing her forehead. "And in time, let's remarry, okay?"

Laura nodded. "Okay."

When she returned to Holden Residence, Sheldon had comforted and guided her for a long time. One of the things he had asked was for her and Wesley to remarry.

With Marcus and Natalie now married, they would eventually have children. If Wesley and Laura weren't together, those children would have endless questions.

Laura thought about Sheldon's words, and they made sense. Sometimes, children's logic was hard for adults to understand. If she and Wesley remarried, they would be a family again, and it would only make sense for them to stay together.

The remarriage was inevitable.

But for now, the two of them had to focus on how to keep Marcus and Natalie happy and send them on their honeymoon without suspecting anything.

As they lay in bed together, Wesley reached over to turn off the lights. The curtains were drawn tightly, and the room was soon enveloped in darkness.

"Wesley, I can't sleep," Laura whispered in the dark. "Are you asleep?"

"No," Wesley replied. "Laura, let me tell you a story."

Laura pouted, rubbing her head against his chest. "There's no need. I'm not a child. Wesley, do you think we'll ever find Sheldon's body?"

"It'll be difficult," Wesley answered honestly. "During the video call with Sheldon, I saw the background. It looked like they were on a ship. If they were on a ship, it would've been in the open sea. Even without the explosion, there are many unforeseen dangers out there."

He paused before continuing, "Laura, I think Sheldon planned this from the start. He didn't want us to find his or Cassie's body. Without a body, they'll just be missing. And if they're missing, there's no way to prove it's a crime. The dirty secrets of the Holden family won't come to light. Even if they do someday, there won't be any evidence to show that any of it ever happened."

Laura softly asked, "Did Sheldon plan it all to cover up everything Cassie did to the Holden family?"

Wesley sighed. "I think that's what he planned. Don't think too much about it. Let's sleep now. Tomorrow morning, we'll tell Marcus and Nattie to go on their honeymoon."

"Okay," Laura agreed.

"Laura, do you think you can act well in front of them tomorrow?" Wesley asked.

Marcus and Natalie were both very perceptive. He worried that if they didn't act naturally enough, they might notice something was off.

"I don't know," Laura answered honestly. "I'm not sure if I can hide my emotions. Wesley, I wish you hadn't told me about this from the start."
