" I'll get back to work now, Ms. Laura," Sheldon said before he turned around and left.
Watching Sheldon's departing figure, Laura remained standing on the spot for a long time.
After a while, she finally turned around and walked back into the villa. As soon as she entered, she saw Noah assigning tasks to the helpers.
She walked toward him and said, "Noah, can you arrange a driver and a car for me? I'd like to pick Wesley up from work."
"Yes, Ms. Laura."
Noah quickly made the arrangements for the driver and car. Soon, Laura entered the car.
Once the car pulled out of Holden Residence, Laura rolled down the window and watched the scenery pass by in reverse. Time had flown by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, she had left this place for over 20 years. Now that she was back, so many things had changed. But at the same time, nothing had really changed.
Everything in the world would change with time. Could things between her and Wesley really return to how they once were?
Sheldon had advised her not to leave room for regret. She loved Wesley, and Wesley loved her. Throughout her years of being ill, Wesley had never left her side. He had even given up their sex life for her.
How many men could go without intimacy for so many years?
So, shouldn't she have a little more faith in herself, and also in Wesley?
Cassie was gone and might never return. Couldn't their love for each other overpower their fear of Cassie?
Moreover, her son had grown up. He even married a strong woman with five brothers. If Cassie dared to stir up trouble, there was no way she could take on all of them alone.
So, should Laura take that step forward?
Throughout the entire ride, Laura's mind was a mess. It wasn't until the car stopped in front of the Holden Group building that the driver's voice pulled her back to reality.
"We've arrived, ma'am. Noah instructed me to escort you upstairs," the driver said as he opened the door for her.
"That won't be necessary. I've been here before. I can find my way up." Laura stepped out of the car and stared at the Holden Group building.
Coming here at this hour, would it be a pleasant surprise for Wesley, or would he be startled?
Laura took a deep breath and decided to be bold for once. She stepped forward and slowly walked into the building.
Meanwhile, back at Holden Residence, Natalie and Marcus had just finished freshening up when she received a call from Timothy.
"Hello, Nat. Are you asleep yet?"
"I just finished getting ready for bed," Natalie replied. "What's up, Timothy?"
She put her phone on speaker and placed it on the bedside table. She then grabbed her tablet, intending to check her emails before sleeping.
"It's like this. Celeste organized a little gathering for you. She said that even though you and Marcus have gotten your marriage certificate, you haven't had the wedding yet.
"So, she thought it'd be nice to have some fun before the wedding. She wanted to hold a gathering for everyone to come together."
In reality, Timothy wasn't pleased with Marcus' decision to register their marriage without consulting her parents and brothers.
However, since Natalie was happy with the decision, her brothers could only respect and support her.
"Nat, will you come?" he asked.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus)
This one gets us readers asking for more! Excellent story, great twists......
Hope Grandpa Charles lives long enough to see Marcus and Nat's children, please. It will make him happy to see life is still worth living and that he didn't fail raising Marcus at least. Let him be happy at least in this aspect. Thanks...
Finished till 538....Waiting for more...
This really hurts. I am confused if Yvette sent a msg saying old love to Charles through Charlene. Why isnt it in her confession. Or did she actually set vivian up into sleeping with that man? And later blackmailed vivian with it till vivian commited suicide? Did Yvetty yhinks Charles would marry her after vivians death but he remained loyal. Hence her anger?...
Hope Nat can cure Marcus' mom. Looking forward to new updates. Thank you...
