The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 202

Walter looked at Natalie's mischievous smile, which she had never shown before. He was stunned for a moment, thinking that this side of Natalie was both cute and playful.

"Alright!" Walter smiled. "Then, when are we going back?"

Natalie replied, "At 9:00 pm. After we piss off Mrs. Langley Senior, we'll need to rush back."

She needed to start Charles' acupuncture treatment before leaving, and the next morning, she had to come back to continue the process. Thus, until Charles' condition improved, she did not have much free time on her hands.

"Will we be okay on time?" Walter did a quick mental calculation of the time. Rushing to Amberton at 9:00 pm and back would prove to be a very tight schedule. He worried that Natalie wouldn't get enough rest, which would be bad for her health.

"The Walkers have a helicopter. I'll just borrow it from my mom." Natalie pulled out her phone and immediately called Charlotte.

"Hello? Mom, could I use the family helicopter for a bit? I need to fly to Amberton tonight."

"Sure! Of course, you can," Charlotte answered right away. "I'll get it ready for you. You can leave whenever you want.

"But sweetheart, I have only one request. Even after you get to Amberton, don't forget to come home! Remember, your home is in Dithoria, your dad's name is William, and your mom's is Charlotte.

"Don't ever forget the way home, and don't forget your parents' names!"

Natalie laughed. "I know. Don't worry! Since I've acknowledged you, I won't return to the Langleys."

"Sweetheart, I believe you! Don't misunderstand anything!"

"Okay, I won't misunderstand."

Charlotte added, "By the way, Celeste called me. She said you didn't accept the gift she sent you, so she asked me to tell you to accept it."

"Alright, I got it."

"Okay. Have a good time with Celeste! I won't disturb you."

After hanging up, Natalie removed Grace's number from her blocked contacts and called her. She turned on the speakerphone so Walter could hear.

As soon as the call connected, Natalie could immediately hear three coughs. In the past, whenever Grace felt even a little unwell, Natalie would quickly grow worried and ask a doctor to check on her.

But now, Natalie didn't feel much about it. "Hello, Mrs. Langley Senior. It's me, Natalie."

She waited for Grace's coughing to stop before slowly speaking. "I heard that you won't allow me to be in a relationship with Walter?

"Mrs. Langley Senior, allow me to ask you—why can't I be with Walter?"

Natalie slowly said, "It's true that you brought Walter back to the Langleys and sent him to school, but over the years, it's been me who's taking care of him! I raised this rose myself, so why can't I pick it?"

Walter felt his heart race as he listened to Natalie. Wasn't she referring to him as a rose right now?

Natalie continued, "Or does Mrs. Langley Senior think I'm unworthy?"

She raised an eyebrow as her slender, fair fingers lightly tapped the table. Her tone was calm and composed, speaking in a cold and indifferent voice that sounded questioning but affirmative.
