The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 764

After finishing the cheese fondue at Keira's place, Sky and Lincoln helped clean up before saying their goodbyes.

Ryan had already received a call after they started drinking and arrived as instructed. As soon as the two men stepped outside, Ryan got out and opened the car door. "Mr. Sky, Mr. Lincoln."

"Thank you, Ryan." Sky nodded slightly in thanks. "It's late, but we had to trouble you to pick us up."

"It's no trouble at all, Mr. Sky. It's my job."

Once they were in the car, Ryan started the engine and quickly drove them home.

Back at the house, Sky took a shower, changed clothes, then sat on the balcony before pulling out his phone to call Natalie. The call connected after a few rings.

"Hello, Sky." Natalie's calm voice came through. "Are you not asleep yet?"

"Nat, am I disturbing your rest?" He suddenly regretted calling her at such a late hour. She was pregnant and needed her rest.

"No, I'm still up. I'm having a late-night snack."

She was indeed eating. Since she got pregnant, her appetite had improved, and she hadn't suffered from any morning sickness. Ironically, Marcus had been the one vomiting.

He could barely eat anything, while she was happily devouring her food.

"Nat, I just wanted to thank you," Sky said gently. "I met Ms. Chesson. She told me you'd already paid her for the session. I honestly don't know how to repay you."

"Sky, we're family!" She chuckled. "You don't need to repay me. You gave me such a generous wedding gift before. Besides, Keira is my friend. I helped her in the past, so when I asked for this favor, she didn't hesitate to do it.

"So, how did you feel after meeting with her?"

Natalie was eating nachos. Marcus had warned her not to eat anything too spicy, so she ordered her nachos mildly spicy and tried not to overeat.

"I felt a lot lighter. I actually got some real sleep there—no nightmares.

"Nat, how did you know about my situation even though you weren't home?"

Natalie laughed. "I asked Walter to pick you up. He's been reporting back to me on how you've been doing. It wasn't hard to figure out.

"Sky, we're family. I'm doing great and really happy now, so I want the same for you guys.

"I've been having so much fun out here. Timothy and Mason are with me. But Mason's heading back soon since his training camp will start soon.

"Timothy is on break, so he's using this time to relax and travel with us. I'll be back in a few more months. When I return, you'd better have a gift ready for your little nephew!"

"That's a given." Sky laughed. "Thanks, Nat."

"Don't be so formal with me," she said with a smile. "How are Mom and Dad?"

"They're doing well. Everything's fine at home. Nat, if Marcus ever mistreats you, you better tell us."

"Of course!" She laughed. "I'm no pushover. I've got five older brothers and my parents backing me up."

"Yeah, you're right. Have fun, Nat. I won't keep you."

"You have to be happy too, Sky," came Natalie's quiet words.

"I will, I promise. Thank you."

"Don't mention it."

"Well… I'll hang up now."

"Okay. Goodnight, Sky."

"Goodnight."

After hanging up, Sky transferred some money to Natalie. He knew she wasn't short on cash, but it was his way of showing his love as an older brother.

Natalie accepted the money and sent back a little cartoon sticker that said, "Thank you, boss!"
