The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 403

After a long pause, Natalie uttered softly, "Accept it."

"Alright, Ms. Walker," Connie, who was on the other end of the call, answered immediately. "I'll reply to their email now.

"Oh, right. Ms. Walker, the patient might not be able to make it to Balford."

"I know."

After reviewing the photos, Natalie knew the patient wasn't able to go anywhere.

"Where are they now?" she asked.

"Let me check."

Moments later, Connie responded, "They're at Scarlet Hill, a place in Amberton."

Natalie arched a brow. Scarlet Hill? Now, that was an interesting coincidence.

Based on what she had uncovered, Marcus' biological parents were at Scarlet Hill right now.

"Ask them to provide a detailed location. I was just about to go to Scarlet Hill myself, actually."

"Okay, Ms. Walker. I'll send it to you later."

"Great. Anything else?"

After checking, Connie shook her head. "Nope."

"I'll hang up then."

"Ms. Walker, wait!" Connie blurted out.

"Yeah?"

"Now that Mr. Holden Senior has almost recovered, when can I leave? I want to go with you."

After pondering for a while, Natalie replied, "Connie, stay at Holden Residence and look after Grandpa Charles. You can return once he recovers completely."

"Okay, Ms. Walker."

Natalie added, "Your current task is to make sure Grandpa Charles is well taken care of. I'm going to Amberton with Marcus, and I can only be at ease if you stay by his side."

"I understand, Ms. Walker."

"Okay, that's all."

"Goodbye, Ms. Walker."

"Goodbye."

As she hung, Natalie received a text from her pinned contact—her beloved and revered mentor.

Federrick texted, "My dear Natalie, I've received the sketchbook, and I'm very happy with it. There are three more, so go find them for me!"

He even attached a few heart emoji at the end of the text.

Natalie started typing on her phone, sending Federick a reply. "I'm on it!"

Federrick sent her a sticker with the caption, "My dear Natalie, you're the best".

Natalie chuckled as she replied with a sticker captioned, "My mentor's the best".

But were there really three more of these sketchbooks? She wondered if there were any left in The Book Sanctum.

She could just call Marcus to ask since he was already her boyfriend.

Almost right away, Natalie dialed Marcus' number. The call barely had time to ring before it was answered.

"Nat?"

Marcus' deep, alluring voice slipped into her ears, and a sudden warmth crept up to her face. He had called her "Nat" so many times before, and it never fazed her. But now, for some reason, there was a new kind of sweetness to it.

"Marcus, was the sketchbook you showed me at The Book Sanctum the only one, or are there more?"

After calming herself down, she asked bluntly, "I heard the full set includes three more volumes. Do you have them?"
