Natalie looked up at Mason. He then retracted his phone and immediately deleted what he just typed.
At that moment, the elevator arrived at the first floor. The doors opened with a ding.
Mason smiled and asked, "Nat, do you have your driver's license? I'll give you my car. Or I could take you to buy a new one. You can pick whichever you like."
"There's no need. I already have a car," Natalie replied. She shook her head, refusing Mason's offer. "Mason, you can just send me to the gates."
"Alright, then. Wait here for a moment." Mason ran off and soon returned on a motorcycle. "Get on, Nat. I'll take you to the gates."
When Mason got there, he noticed a G-Wagon parked at the gate. He recognized the person inside—the head of the renowned women's clothing brand Nouvelle Zara. The head had recently visited the Walker residence to design a custom gown for Emma's 20th birthday banquet.
Upon thinking of Emma's birthday banquet, Mason immediately realized Natalie's birthday had to be on the same day.
"Nat, is your birthday in three months?"
"Yeah. But I don't plan on making a big deal out of it."
Natalie knew the Walkers wanted to make it up to her, and they would undoubtedly place great importance on an occasion as significant as a birthday.
However, her birthday was also Emma's birthday. Ophelia had mentioned that the Walkers ordered the Flux Couture evening gown series for Emma and planned to invite all the elites of Dithoria State for the celebration.
In the past, every one of Emma's birthday banquets was grandly celebrated by the Walkers, showering her with love and attention.
As for Natalie's birthdays, Diana never threw her a party. Victor would get her a gift but never a birthday cake.
Only Grace bought her a birthday cake, took her to the amusement park, and gave her pretty dresses and other toys as gifts.
However, those pretty dresses—though Diana never said anything in front of Grace—were later cut up with scissors. She would also insult Natalie as she did it.
Diana even threatened Natalie not to tell anyone, especially Grace.
When she thought of dresses, Natalie suddenly recalled that Marcus had once gotten her a gift of a very beautiful dress. She just hadn't worn it.
"Nat, don't be afraid of Emma." While on the way to the gate, Mason noticed that Natalie was silent, so he tried to start a conversation.
"To me, you are the most important sister. If Emma dares to go against you or put on a two-faced act, just tell me.
"As for Sky, let me know if he gives you a hard time. I might still be studying and not have as much money, status, or influence as he does, but I have pretty strong fists."
"I understand. Thank you, Mason."
Natalie reeled her thoughts back in. Having only recently reunited with the Walkers, she wasn't familiar with anyone yet, but her first impression of Sky wasn't bad.
Still, since Mason had warned her to be cautious of Sky, it wouldn't hurt for her to be more on guard.
Among the Walker brothers, Natalie had to admit that Mason had given her the most favorable impression.
First of all, it was because they were close in age. Secondly, he had given her a sincere impression.
Sky did indeed also look at her with a gaze full of care and protection. However, the way he looked at Mason lacked that care, revealing instead a complex mix of emotions.
Though it was subtle, Natalie could sense it.
Mason drove the motorcycle at a slow pace because he wanted to spend more time with Natalie. However, riding a motorcycle was still faster than walking.
Soon, they reached the front gate.
Ophelia had remained seated in the car but immediately stepped out and opened the door upon seeing Natalie get off Mason's motorcycle.

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...
