The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 4

Grace rummaged under the bed for a while before emerging with a box in her hands.

She then went to quietly close the ward door. After locking it, she turned and opened the box before Natalie as if presenting a piece of treasure.

"Eat, Nattie."

In the box were a few pieces of mini fruit tarts.

Natalie felt a searing heat in her eyes. As a child, she loved desserts, especially mini fruit tarts. Thus, Grace had the helpers to grow fruit trees in the Langley family's backyard. Once the harvesting season arrived, Grace would bring her to harvest the fruits and make mini fruit tarts together.

Grace currently had the IQ of a six-year-old, but she remembered to save her favorite mini fruit tarts for Natalie.

"Eat, Nattie." Grace urged Natalie. The latter nodded and placed a mini fruit tart into her mouth.

The tarts had a rotten, sour taste to it. Who knew how long Grace had kept them hidden under the bed?

Still, Natalie put all of them into her mouth without hesitation.

"Nattie, I have something else to show you."

Grace then pulled a photo out and handed it to Natalie. In the picture, a man with strikingly handsome features was dressed in a sleek suit.

"This is the husband I selected for you, Nattie. Do you like him? Tyler is not great, so don't pick him, Nattie."

Natalie couldn't contain her laughter. "Grandma, I'm not looking for a boyfriend now."

Needless to say, Natalie did not tell Grace that the Langleys had kicked her out. Grace loved her and would never let her suffer. If Grace had been aware, she would have made an enormous scene.

Had that happened, Victor and Diana would have thought that Natalie didn't want to leave the Langley family and tattled on them to Grace.

Having said that, Natalie never expected Grace's expression to sink. Grace appeared furious and wronged, hugging Natalie as she slowly patted the back of her head.

"I know that they don't want you anymore, Nattie. Don't cry, okay? I'll find you a better husband. The man in the picture is coming here soon."

Natalie was shocked. She couldn't be bothered about the picture and asked anxiously, "Grandma, what do you know?"

Grace pouted and immediately cried. "Selena returned home, and she snatched Tyler from you. It's okay, Nattie. I'll find a better one for you.

"Look at the picture. The man's name is Marcus Holden, the grandson of my godbrother. He's rich, handsome, and definitely better than Tyler by a hundredfold. Marry him and piss Selena and Tyler off, Nattie."

Most importantly, Marcus could protect her beloved Nattie and ensure the Langleys couldn't mistreat her.

The three from the Langley family were good-for-nothing, ungrateful traitors. Natalie had been gentle and kind since she was a child. If no one protected her, she would be ripped apart by the Langleys with nothing to spare.

"Marcus is coming to see me soon. Remember to be on your best behavior, Nattie. You're so beautiful and have such an amazing personality. Marcus would be mesmerized by you even if you just blinked. Marry him, and you'll become Mrs. Holden."

Grace added sternly, "The Langleys and Tyler will be nothing to you if you marry Marcus. Then, you'll be able to look down on them from the top of the world, Nattie! After you marry Marcus, you can bring him back to the Langleys and give them a piece of your mind."

Natalie was taken aback by what she heard and took some time to regain her senses. Grace had selected a husband for her without her knowledge.

Grace thought about Marcus' perfectly handsome face, significantly reducing her displeasure toward the Langleys. She happily said, "Marcus is really rich, Nattie."

…

A tall and slender man stood at the entrance of Grace's room.
