The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 684

Timothy and Mason followed Elijah to the restaurant across the street. Elijah had already eaten, but neither Timothy nor Mason minded. The three of them sat down, ordered a few dishes, and then started talking.

Elijah explained the whole situation in detail, including Maverick and the people of Ashford Vale. Of course, he didn't forget to praise Marcus.

By the time he finished, Timothy and Mason were frowning so hard they looked like they could trap a mosquito between their brow.

"Marcus was supposed to bring Nat for a honeymoon, only to go to a remote and dangerous place like that? Doesn't he know that remote land fosters undesirable characters?"

Timothy's face darkened, and he didn't bother being polite. "Even if he can protect Natalie, she's pregnant! Having her walk such long mountain roads, what if something unexpected happens?"

"Mr. Timothy, you can't say that. While it's true some bad people do come out of remote places, there are also good kids like Lynette, Sue, and Ann," Elijah objected. "It's their parents who are awful. It has nothing to do with them."

"Elijah, we aren't talking about the girls right now," Timothy said. "The biggest problem here is Marcus. We all thought and believed that he was really taking Nat on a honeymoon.

"Who in their right mind would take their wife to such a remote place for a honeymoon? If something happened to them out there, no one would've known!"

"Mr. Timothy, I don't agree," Elijah argued. "Mrs. Natalie picked the location, and we came along as well.

"Since she thinks it's meaningful, Mr. Marcus would surely support her fully. Besides, he listens to her about everything. She completely has him wrapped around her finger.

"If Mrs. Natalie decided on something, do you think Mr. Marcus would dare object? Mr. Timothy, why do you think so badly of Mr. Marcus?"

Timothy let out a sarcastic laugh. "Nat is indeed strong-willed and kind, but does Marcus not know how to pick the right time for things?"

"Mr. Timothy, you're wrong again. You just said it yourself that Mrs. Natalie is strong-willed and kind. So what's wrong with Mr. Marcus standing by her side and supporting her?

"Mrs. Natalie has experienced hardships herself, so it's only natural that she wants to shelter the girls from suffering. Should Mr. Marcus stop her and let the other girls suffer instead?

"Mr. Timothy, you wouldn't want Mrs. Natalie to become a widow right after getting married, would you?"

"You—" Timothy was fuming.

"Timothy, calm down." Mason quickly held Timothy back. "Relax. I think Elijah has a point. Marcus listens to Nat about everything, which means she holds a higher position in the family!"

Mason had always admired Marcus. Most of the time, out of the five Walker brothers, he was probably the only one who openly took Marcus' side.

"Timothy, think about it. If Marcus never lets Nat do anything she wants, wouldn't she have no freedom at all? But now, whatever she wants to do, not only does he not stop her, he even joins her.

"She wears the pants in the relationship. Now that Marcus cherishes her and loves her, as her brothers, shouldn't we be happy about that?"

"Mason, whose side are you on?" Timothy shot Mason a glare. "Sometimes, I think you're more like Marcus' brother than ours!"

"Are you saying that Nat being pregnant isn't important? What about her going to dangerous places and dealing with shady people?"

"Timothy, you can't say that." Mason looked aggrieved. "Marcus didn't know Nat was pregnant. If he had known, I guarantee he wouldn't have let her come to a place like that. Isn't that right, Elijah?"

Elijah quickly nodded. "Mr. Mason is absolutely right. If you two hadn't mentioned it just now, I wouldn't have even known that Mrs. Natalie was pregnant.

"If Mr. Macus knew, forget about coming to a place like this. Even if she wanted to take a walk in the garden at home, he'd have people carefully watching over her every step. He wouldn't have let her come here and do something so dangerous.
