When Lincoln and his brothers saw Natalie rubbing her temples, they couldn't bear to trouble her any further. Other than Mason, the other three glared at Marcus in unison.
Now that they realized how much they missed her, they regretted not treating her better from the start.
Marcus even wanted to break off the engagement at one point. How dare he?
"Then let's go together."
With Lincoln's decision made, the others had no objections.
Marcus' lips immediately curled into a smile. He put on a sincere look and said, "Thank you, Lincoln. Thank you, Hector. Thank you, Timothy. Also, thank you, Mason."
"Ugh!" Lincoln couldn't hold back and made a dramatic retching gesture, showing his undisguised disdain and disgust toward Marcus.
"Lincoln, are you feeling unwell?" Marcus asked with concern. "Hector, Lincoln seems like he's going to throw up. You should check on him."
"Shut up!" Hector was speechless. It was one thing for Marcus to fool Natalie, but did he think he could put on an act in front of them too?
They were all men, so how could they not see through his act?
Marcus smirked and turned to Natalie with a smile.
"Let's go back!" Natalie said, "As for Celeste, Mason, you should call her later to check if she got home safely. She's just a romantic at heart, and she meant no harm. Let's not blame her further."
"Nat, you don't have to make excuses for Celeste," Lincoln said as he pulled out his phone. "I've already spoken to Uncle David and Aunt Ellen. Since she likes meddling so much, I told Aunt Ellen to arrange some matchmaking for her."
"Hmm?" Hector chuckled. "Let her be. She brought this upon herself. Let's go home."
"Alright."
The Walker siblings, along with Marcus, Olivia, and Connie, left the club together. Since Mason was giving Olivia and Connie a ride home, he didn't join Natalie and the others.
When they arrived at the Walker residence, Charlotte was in the middle of discussing something with Gorge. When she saw Natalie return, she immediately smiled and called out to her.
"Nat, come here. Take a look if you like the wedding setup."
Natalie pulled Marcus along as she walked toward her. "Hi, Mom."
Before Natalie could prompt him, Marcus obediently called out, "Mother."
Charlotte was briefly stunned but then chuckled. "Come, have a seat."
She continued, "Marcus, it's good you're here. You and Natalie can take a look at the wedding setup together.
"I've spoken to the designer a few times, consulted your brothers, and even asked for input from a few young ladies. I'm still worried you wouldn't like it.
"I was just thinking of going to find you both tomorrow, but now, here you are!"
Charlotte passed the tablet to Natalie and Marcus. "This is the final version we settled on. We showed it to Laura as well. She liked it quite a lot.
"The cascading crystal chandeliers will light up the venue. Beneath them will be an array of gardenias and baby's breath. On the other side, there will be red roses and lilies.
"As Nat walks down the aisle, fresh flowers will fall along her steps, creating a shower of petals. The chairs will be predominantly white, and there will be 300 banquet tables, each at a standard price of 20 thousand dollars.
"After that, there will be performances by celebrities and singers, so the guests can continue the event without you two having to attend to every table.

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...
