The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Playing the Role of the Domineering President 

Seeing that Charles was truly angry, Marcus quickly responded, “Grandpa, I’ll bring Ms. Walker here right away. Don’t worry. I won’t let the Langley family bully her.” 

Charles‘ health wasn’t great as he had just suffered from an illness not long ago. Marcus was afraid that Charles might not be with him now if it weren’t for Natalie’s medicine and her stopping Jessy from giving him first aid. 

He didn’t care about Natalie’s past issues with the Langley family, but he couldn’t tolerate being used by them as a tool for revenge or as a pawn in a wealthy marriage. 

However, since she had saved Charles‘ life, Marcus, though reluctant, had to listen to his wishes. He would go pick her up. 

‘Grandpa, don’t be angry. I’ll bring Ms. Walker over right now.” He gently patted Charles‘ back to calm him down, then instructed Ethan to stay with Charles before leaving the VIP suite. 

As soon as he stepped into the hallway, he called Natalie, “Hello, Ms. Walker. My grandfather wants to see you. Would it be convenient for you to come and spend some time with him? If it’s convenient, I can come pick you up now. 

“There’s no need for that. I’ll head over there right now,” Natalie said, her voice sounding cold and distant over the phone. “Connie has also prepared some medicine for Mr. Holden Senior to take before the surgery, so I’ll bring it with me.” 

“No, Ms. Walker. Just stay where you are. I’ll come pick you up.” Marcus‘ voice was deep and magnetic. He spoke slightly faster than usual, and his voice carried a tone that brooked no refusal as he said, “Stay where you are.” 

Natalie was speechless. 

What was Marcus doing? Was he trying to sound like a domineering president? 

“Ms. Walker, please understand that this is my grandfather’s order.” 

Though he was domineering, there was an air of helplessness in his explanation. 

Then, she understood. He didn’t want to pick her up, but he had no choice, as it was Charles 

request. 

“Fine. I’m at the villa behind the hospital. Come here,” she said before hanging up. She then took the medicine prepared by Connie and put it in a small jar before heading to the villa. 

Before long, Marcus‘ tall and lean figure appeared. Natalie stood up and took in his handsome and refined figure from head to toe. 

He was dressed in a well–tailored suit, and his handsome features were sharp and defined. His lips were pressed into a straight line, and his deep, dark eyes seemed to ignore everything

around him, as if nothing could catch his attention. 

He appeared indifferent yet still captivating. 

As he approached, she walked down the steps and made her way to him with the jar in her hand. Soon, they stood face to face. 

“Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Holden.” 

“No worries. It’s the least I can do. Thank you for cooperating, Ms. Walker,” he said. 

One was cold and distant, while the other was aloof and noble. Their words were polite, yet neither of them were truly behaving like friends. 

Natalie intentionally kept her distance, while Marcus seemed to want to avoid being entangled with her. With this atmosphere, their interaction felt particularly strange, but neither of them pointed it out.

Marcus extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner and said, “Ms. Walker, let me carry that.” 

“Thank you.” 

She handed him the jar, and their fingers briefly brushed against each other’s. She quickly pulled her hand back and furrowed her brows involuntarily. 

Although it was just a fleeting touch, his disdain for her grew more profound. She was intentionally seducing him while acting and playing hard to get. 

Marcus‘ expression didn’t change as he said, “Ms. Walker, after you.” 

The two of them walked in silence after exchanging those polite words. No one spoke for the 

rest of the way. 

When they reached Charles‘ VIP suite, Natalie finally gave a gentle smile. As for Marcus, his expression remained unchanged.

“Grandpa Charles, I heard that you wanted to see me,” she said, her voice softer than 

“Come here, Nattie,” Charles said. 

He then looked at Ethan, who immediately stepped aside to make space. 

She walked over obediently and sat down. “Grandpa Charles, how are you? Are you feeling better? Connie’s made you some medicine. When she heard that Mr. Holden was coming to pick me up, she asked me to bring it. The medicine is currently with Mr. Holden.” 

Marcus had carried the jar all the way here. Although it wasn’t heavy, details like this often revealed a person’s character. 

“Yeah… He did what he should.” Charles grabbed Natalie’s hand and gave Marcus no extra attention as he said, “I heard that the Langley family is here. Have they caused you any trouble?”

“Fortunately, they haven’t been too troublesome.” She didn’t want to dwell on the grievances with the Langley family. Since Charles cared about her, she wanted to only share the good news with him. 

“Has the Langley family said anything about your biological parents?” Charles sighed and continued, “The Langley family has found their biological daughter, so they should help you. find your biological parents too. 

“After all, they’ve raised you for 20 years. They should have some attachment to you, which would be the case even if they had raised pets. Besides, they aren’t poor. Taking in another daughter wouldn’t be a burden to them.” 

But the way Victor and Diana had handled everything was disheartening. Now that their biological daughter had returned, they wanted to send away the daughter they had raised for 20 years, simply out of fear that their biological daughter might be sad.
