As Charlotte spoke, her eyes were wet with tears again. She hugged Natalie. "Nat, you've grown up. You can form your own opinion now, so I won't force you to do anything you don't like.
"Don't take my words to heart. Just live the way that makes you happy and at ease. If you love your career, then pursue it. If you love travelling, go wherever you want. If you want to stay home and be a housewife, I'll support you just the same.
"As a woman, you shouldn't simply define what kind of life you want to live and the person you want to be. You should experience and try different things, figure out what you truly love, then make a choice."
Natalie nodded. "Mm, I understand. Thank you, Mom."
"You must be tired! Go rest with Marcus! The wedding is just a few days away.
"For the next few days, you two don't have to do or worry about anything. Just relax and enjoy yourselves. When the day comes, all you need to do is be a beautiful bride and a handsome groom. Us parents will help out with everything else!"
"Okay. Thank you, Mom." Natalie stepped out of Charlotte's embrace and added, "Mom, I really love the wedding design and decorations you planned."
"It's great that you like it. I was worried that there are things you aren't satisfied with. We can still have the designer make adjustments."
"No need for that. Marcus and I both love it," Natalie said with a smile. Recently, whenever she returned to the Walker residence, she had found herself relaxing naturally. It was completely different from when she first came here.
"You're welcome. Go rest now. Gorge and I will check the venue tomorrow to ensure everything is absolutely perfect on the wedding day."
"Alright, you should get some rest too. Mom, don't overwork yourself."
Natalie stood up and took Marcus with her to the fifth floor.
"Mrs. Walker, Ms. Natalie truly sees this place as her home now," Gorge said warmly. "I still remember the first time she came here, she wouldn't accept you all."
"That's right!" Charlotte wiped the tears from her eyes. "Back then, Emma was still around. It was our fault for not handling things properly.
"Emma, that ungrateful girl… After enjoying the life of a rich heiress for years, she actually started to believe she was the real one."
She turned toward Gorge. "By the way, how is she doing in prison?"
Gorge leaned in and whispered a few words into Charlotte's ear.
Charlotte nodded. "As for Sky, make the arrangements for him to attend Nat's wedding. But make sure someone keeps an eye on him. I worried he might lose control and ruin the celebration… On second thought, forget it. Let him stay in prison."
"Yes, Mrs. Walker."
"Gorge, I don't want anything going wrong at Nat's wedding. All I ask for is for her to be happy and at peace. As her family, we want Nat to know that we will always be her pillar of support."
Charlotte's eyes reddened. "Marcus is a good kid. Now that Wesley and Laura have returned to Holden Residence, I trust their character. But people change, and I can't help but overthink things."
Gorge reassured her, "Don't worry. Ms. Natalie isn't that naive. She's always been outstanding. Even before reuniting with the family, she had already built a successful career on her own."
"That's true! I just hope my dear daughter doesn't become completely lovestruck," Charlotte replied.
Gorge chuckled. "I don't think Ms. Natalie is lovestruck. If anything, it looks like Mr. Marcus is."
The two laughed at that. Charlotte felt more at ease, so she stopped overthinking things.

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...
