The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 109

Olivia agreed to Natalie's request. The two of them continued to talk for a while more before setting the time and place for their meeting tomorrow. It was only after that they hung up.

Natalie ate another piece of chocolate. The chocolate prepared by the Holdens was even better than the ones she had bought herself.

She took a photo of the packaging, intending to buy some online. But after searching the internet with the photo, she found it wasn't available for sale.

Suddenly, the sound of knocking came from the door.

"Mr. Langley, are you asleep? If not, could I trouble you for a moment?" Sheldon's voice sounded through the intercom.

Natalie put down the chocolate and went to open the door. "I'm not asleep yet. Is there something you need, Sheldon?"

"Mr. Holden has been punished by Mr. Holden Senior and is still kneeling. I was hoping you could bring him some food." Sheldon looked somewhat embarrassed to ask this favor. "Mr. Holden only drank some wine at the banquet and didn't eat much.

"Then, that incident happened, so I'm really worried about Mr. Holden.

"Mr. Langley might not know this, but Mr. Holden has gastric disease. If he goes too long without food, he can also get hypoglycemia.

"But since this is Mr. Holder Senior's punishment for him, we as staff members can't go against his orders despite feeling sorry for Mr. Holden. So, I wanted to ask Mr. Langley for help in delivering food to him.

"Since you're Ms. Sterling's cousin, and Ms. Sterling is Mr. Holden Senior's savior, he probably won't get angry even if he finds out."

"Then, you should have Connie deliver it." Natalie outright rejected Sheldon's request. "Besides, even if you delivered it to him, Mr. Holden Senior won't find out if you and Mr. Holden don't say anything.

"Moreover, Mr. Holden is his most cherished grandson. Even if Mr. Holden Senior finds out, he'll just turn a blind eye and pretend he doesn't know. Your concerns will not come to pass."

When he heard this, Sheldon's expression froze for a moment, and he forced an awkward smile. "Mr. Langley, we dare not do so."

"I, too, dare not," Natalie said in a deliberately chilly and hoarse tone. "I'm just a guest who's here to accompany Connie. I know Mr. Holden Senior is punishing Mr. Holden, so if I deliver food, it feels like I'm disregarding Mr. Holden Senior's orders. I can't do something so disrespectful to the host family."

Sheldon responded, "But wasn't it Mr. Holden who saved Ms. Sterling in Balford that time?"

"Huh?" Natalie narrowed her eyes at Sheldon. When did Marcus rescue Connie? Why didn't she know about it?

"Ms. Sterling came to Mr. Holden that day, crying uncontrollably," Sheldon recalled the scene of Connie begging Marcus. "Mr. Holden was in a hurry to leave and extremely anxious. He even owed Ms. Emma a favor after getting the herbs Ms. Sterling needed.

"Mr. Langley, I did ask Ms. Sterling to deliver the food, but she refused. She said that men and women shouldn't have physical contact, and that as a young woman, she didn't want to be misunderstood by others before she even had a boyfriend."

Natalie was at a loss for words. Connie's reason really was well thought out.

However, what Sheldon said reminded Natalie of the Dead of Night herb that Marcus had brought over. Without it, she wouldn't be standing here right now.

So, strictly speaking, she did indeed owe Marcus a favor.

Although Marcus had only found the herb for her because Natalie intended to treat Charles, he still ended up saving her life in front of Charles.

Natalie agreed to the compromise and said, "I'll deliver the food."

"Ah! Okay then. Thank you, Mr. Langley," Sheldon immediately expressed his gratitude. "The food and drinks are ready downstairs. I'll take you to get them.

"The memorial hall is located in the old wing. I'll take you there after. It's easy to get lost if you're unfamiliar with the place."
