The next morning, Natalie woke up early. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Marcus staring right at her.
"Good morning. How long have you been awake?" She rubbed her eyes and greeted him.
"Not that long." Marcus didn't tell her the truth. In reality, he had been so excited that he couldn't fall asleep for a long while last night. When he finally drifted off, he woke up again at the crack of dawn.
Since waking up, he'd just been watching her. The longer he looked, the more beautiful he thought his wife was, and his love for her surged like a tidal wave.
The corners of Natalie's lips curled up. "Let's get up. After having breakfast with Lynette and the others, we'll go our separate ways."
"Okay." Marcus sat up and reached out to pull Natalie into his arms. "Nat, once we get back to Dithoria, where do you want to live?" he asked.
Natalie felt strange. "Why are you asking me that?"
"I just want to prioritize your preferences," Marcus said with a smile. "Wherever you want to live, I'll follow. Nat, you're pregnant. It's important to keep you happy and relaxed."
"I know that." Natalie chuckled. "I'm a doctor, remember? I know what to do. Marcus, you don't have to be this nervous."
She reached out her hand, and Marcus immediately leaned his head toward it. She gently ruffled his hair, then couldn't resist leaning in to kiss him on the lips.
The occasional contrast in Marcus' personality made him absolutely irresistible to her.
"Let's wash up and head home," he said while holding her hand. He then planted a kiss on her forehead.
"Alright."
"Nat, I've made new arrangements for the ride back. Elijah won't be coming with us."
"Alright," Natalie replied with a smile. She didn't ask Marcus when he had done so. She just went along with his plans.
She rubbed her lower belly, and it felt surreal. There was already a tiny life growing inside her.
She never imagined she'd get married and become a mother so soon. But now that the day had come, she was able to accept it with ease. She was even feeling quite happy about it.
After the two washed up, they went downstairs to check out. Outside the motel, a luxury RV was already waiting for them.
Mason and Timothy stepped down from the RV, both of them smiling and holding food in their hands. They immediately walked over and stuffed them into Natalie's hands.
"Nat, eat up."
"Timothy, Mason, when did you get here?" Natalie was surprised. She knew exactly how far it was from Dithoria to the county.
"We just arrived," Timothy said, patting Natalie's head. "Want to eat in the car? We have more food prepared inside. Marcus, there's plenty for you too."
Timothy glanced at Marcus, then frowned slightly. "This is supposed to be your honeymoon. Why did you bring her to a place like this?"
"Timothy, here's the situation." Natalie pulled Timothy over. "It's not Marcus' fault. I asked to come here. I'll explain everything in detail inside the car."
While Natalie pulled Timothy into the RV, Mason frowned as well. "Marcus, not that I'm complaining, but how could you bring Natalie to a place like this for your honeymoon? And now, she even has to speak up for you. This is too much."
Marcus remained silent, simply following Mason into the car.
Once inside, they could see a variety of breakfast dishes laid out on the small table. There was even steaming hot milk.

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...
