The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 104

Grace's crying was the loudest, but her tears were more for show than anything else. After all, it was a good thing that Natalie had found her biological parents.

From now on, Natalie would have a strong backing. Neither the scheming Langleys nor the snobbish Miller family would dare bully Natalie anymore.

Grace was only crying because everyone else was crying, and she felt awkward if she didn't join in.

Natalie, however, genuinely couldn't shed a single tear. She could only stand there awkwardly, letting Charlotte and William hug her as they wept. She didn't even know where to begin if she were to comfort them.

In the end, Sky stepped forward after all the crying had subsided and said, "Mother, Father, reuniting with our sister is a happy occasion. We've also cried enough. Now, it's time to smile and laugh.

"If you keep crying like this, Nat will also feel nervous and upset."

Sky kept his gaze on Natalie as he spoke. Her expression hadn't changed from the beginning till now, showing absolutely no signs of happiness.

Still, at the very least, she didn't push Charlotte and William away from the embrace.

"Right. We've cried enough. We can't cry anymore," Charlotte said as she sniffled and held back her tears.

She took Natalie's hand and said, "Come, let me show you to your room. When I went to the Langleys in Amberton to look for you, I had your dad stay home to supervise the renovations. Since we didn't know what you liked, we had the designer take care of it.

"The room is newly renovated. Although the best and most expensive materials were used, and we had professionals come in to remove the formaldehyde, I'm still a bit worried. So, I planned to ventilate it for a while.

"During this time, you'll stay in the guest room on the fourth floor. Nat, do you think this a suitable arrangement?"

Charlotte walked forward while holding Natalie's hand. She didn't forget to turn back to instruct Sky, "Sky, hold on to Mrs. Langley Senior's hand.

"Everyone else, follow along."

"Yes, Mother."

When Natalie heard the Walker family's sons address Charlotte as "Mother", she recalled how Emma had called her "Mom" before. It then became clear that the daughters of the Walkers were held in higher regard than the sons.

Still, Natalie couldn't bring herself to affectionately call out "Mom" like Emma did in such a sweet and soft tone.

"Nat, from now on, the entire fifth floor will be yours alone."

Charlotte looked at Natalie with tenderness. The more she looked at her, the more her daughter truly seemed to resemble her. It was almost as if they were cut from the same cloth.

However, Natalie had a much colder demeanor and was more indifferent than Charlotte.

Natalie's beautiful and delicate features, when combined with her coolant refined temperament, resembled a snowdrop—noble yet emitting a sense of coldness. Her emotionless, icy expression only softened into a gentle smile when she was with Grace.

Charlotte wanted to get emotionally closer to Natalie, but she knew that this couldn't be achieved overnight. She had missed out on 20 years of her life, during which Natalie had suffered too much abuse and neglect at the hands of the Langleys.

Healing this sort of emotional damage would not be an easy task.

However, Charlotte was patient. Now that her daughter returned, she would make sure she lived the best life and make her the happiest daughter in the world.

This wasn't just the case with Charlotte. Everyone in the Walker family had to treat Natalie well.

As they spoke, the elevator arrived on the fifth floor. The doors slid open with a ding, and Charlotte shifted from holding Natalie's hand to linking their arms together.

"Nat, I've also prepared Mrs. Langley Senior's room. It's right inside your room," Charlotte said gently. "I know you're close to her, and I'm also worried about her, so I thought it would be best if she stayed in your room with you.
