Mason tried to appease him, but Timothy pushed him away and said, "Either way, Marcus is definitely getting an earful this time.
"Timothy, if you want to beat me up, I won't complain," Marcus said as he walked over and sat across from them. Your concerns are valid. I was careless this time. It's my fault. If you want to scold me, go ahead. If you want to hit me, I'll take it without complaint."
He sounded sincere, his expression genuine. He didn't show the slightest trace of anger. On the contrary, he agreed with Timothy's concerns and felt grateful for Mason speaking up for him.
"Thank you, Mason." Marcus looked at him earnestly.
Mason scratched his head. "Don't mention it. I was just speaking the truth."
Marcus' lips curled into a faint smile before he composed himself and said, "Timothy, I admit I was wrong this time, and I'll reflect on it. I promise this won't happen ever again.
"Whatever Nat wants to do while she's pregnant, I'll do it for her. I won't let her worry about a thing. I'll be even more careful and attentive, making sure she's safe, happy, and comfortable for the entire pregnancy."
Marcus promised seriously. "If you're still worried, we can have Natalie stay at the Walker residence. I'll go with her."
Timothy stayed silent. Mason stood up and patted Marcus on the shoulder. "Timothy, I've already helped you teach him a lesson. Let's drop it, okay? Look at how sincere Marcus is. Don't be unreasonable and keep pushing it."
"Thank you, Mason. But Timothy is right to scold me. I really did fall short, and I'm grateful he pointed it out. I'll be more careful in the future."
Seeing how serious Marcus was, Timothy was unable to say anything harsh.
Suddenly, Marcus' phone rang. He took a look and showed it to Timothy and Mason. "It's Nat. I'll answer this real quick."
Timothy replied calmly, "Put it on speaker."
"Yes, Timothy."
Marcus answered the call, put it on speaker, and then placed the phone on the table.
"Hello, Nat."
"Where did you go?" she asked.
"I'm here with Timothy and Mason," Marcus said gently. When he spoke to Natalie, his expression and tone would automatically become gentler. "What's up?"
"I'm all alone in the RV, and it's boring. Come back and keep me company."
"Alright. I'll come back right away," Marcus agreed without hesitation.
"I want a Coke. Buy me one," Natalie said. From her tone, it was clear she was smiling.
"Alright." Marcus agreed without hesitation once again. "I'll get it now and head right back."
"Thank you. I'll wait for you."
After Natalie finished speaking, she hung up. In fact, she was sitting in the RV opposite them, so she could see them through the window.
She knew Elijah had called Marcus away, and he was probably getting a scolding from her brothers.
But she didn't think Marcus had done anything wrong. She was the one who chose the honeymoon location, and she was the one who brought him to meet those people.
Getting pregnant was an unexpected event. Otherwise, her brothers wouldn't have had any reason to lecture Marcus.

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...
