Mason stared at the message Wesley had sent him. He recognized every word individually, but when put together like that, he couldn't comprehend them.
The RV was already making its way back along the way they came. Natalie and Marcus had come out for a honeymoon, but instead of having fun, they ended up handling serious business.
That was why, on the way there, Timothy had suggested that they avoid the highway on the return trip. Instead, he had planned out a scenic route for them to enjoy the sights and relax on the way back.
Coincidentally, now that Natalie was pregnant, she wasn't suited for long car rides. Timothy's planned route turned out to be perfect.
Now, with both his mother and Marcus' parents requesting Natalie to be sent to their respective residences, Mason couldn't make the decision.
Seeing that Mason hadn't replied, Wesley sent another message. "Mason, did you receive my message?"
Mason let out a deep breath. He quickly took a screenshot of the conversation and sent it to Timothy.
Mason: "Timothy, what should I do?"
Timothy: "Delete the message and do not reply. If Wesley calls you, just say you didn't receive anything. Blame it on the app."
Mason: "Alright. Thanks, Timothy."
Mason immediately deleted Wesley's messages. That was right. If he hadn't received anything, there was no need for a reply.
Seeing that Mason still hadn't replied, Wesley sent another message shortly after. Mason deleted it immediately again.
This back-and-forth went on for about half an hour before Wesley finally called.
Worried that it would affect Natalie's nap, Mason had already put his phone on silent. When he stared at the incoming call, he hesitated for a moment before answering.
However, he still kept his voice low. "Hello, Mr. Holden."
"Mason, did you see the messages I sent you?" Wesley's voice was calm, without a hint of anger."
"Your messages? I didn't receive anything. I think the signal isn't that great here. Maybe there's something wrong with WhatsApp," Mason replied steadily. "Is there something I can help you with?"
"It's nothing urgent. I just wanted to ask you and Timothy to send Nat to Holden Residence. We prepared gifts for her, so we would like her to get them as soon as possible," Wesley said gently.
"Alright. I'll let Nat know," Mason whispered. "But Mr. Holden, we won't be getting back so soon. Timothy had planned out a scenic route, so we're taking our time."
"That's fine. Enjoy yourselves before coming back. Just remember to send Natalie here as soon as you get back."
"Alright. Is there anything else?"
"No, that's all."
"If that's the case, I'll hang up first. Nat and Marcus are both sleeping. I don't want to disturb them."
"Alright. Thank you, Mason."
"You're welcome, Mr. Holden. Goodbye."
"Okay. Goodbye, Mason."
As soon as Mason ended the call, he saw that Marcus, who had been resting with his eyes closed, had opened them."

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...
