The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 413

Natalie's lips curved into a smile as she picked up a shrimp Marcus had just peeled and held it to his lips. "Open your mouth."

"I'm not eating. I peeled them for you."

"Hmm?" The slight drop in her tone made Marcus immediately comply and open his mouth.

"That's more like it." Natalie was instantly satisfied.

"After dinner, let's go watch a movie." She had looked up some dating guides online—eating, shopping, and watching a movie were the standard essentials for couples.

They had already eaten, next was shopping, and then a movie to wrap up their date. Once they got back, she'd pack her bags and inform her family about her trip so they wouldn't worry.

Tomorrow morning, they would head straight to Amberton.

Walter was initially supposed to come to Dithoria after finishing up the Langley Group matters, but since she was going back to investigate the truth behind the baby switch, she had told him to wait for her in Amberton instead.

Thinking of Walter, Natalie couldn't help but glance at Marcus.

The first time Marcus had kissed her, it was because she had said she liked Walter and Tyler.

They hadn't even been in a relationship back then, yet his jealousy was already that intense. If he saw Walter in Amberton, wouldn't he drown in his own jealousy?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Marcus caught her gaze and smirked. "Is there something on my face?"

"Yeah." Natalie nodded seriously. "Good looks."

Marcus smirked. Lowering his gaze, he feigned indifference as he picked up another plate of shrimp, put on gloves, and started peeling again.

"Marcus, doesn't your restaurant offer shrimp-peeling services?"

"This is a Helianese restaurant, not a seafood joint. Of course not."

"Well, you should start offering it." Natalie scooted closer, took the shrimp from his hands, and smiled. "I can't bear to see your hands peeling shrimp."

"I'm happy to peel them for you."

"But I'm not happy about it." Natalie seriously studied his hands. His long well-defined fingers, his clean and fair skin. Every movement of his was elegant.

"We have money. Why should we do things ourselves?"

She pressed the call button in the private dining room. Within a moment, the restaurant manager entered.

"Mr. Holden, Ms. Walker."

"Bring in two servers to peel the shrimp," Natalie said with a smile. "Thank you."

"Of course, Ms. Walker. Please wait a moment."

The manager quickly left, and shortly after, two servers entered, washed their hands, put on gloves, and started peeling the shrimp.

"See? This is better. Now we can eat and chat at the same time."

Natalie returned to her seat and clinked glasses with Marcus. Since she tended to lose control after drinking, she never drank alcohol when she was out. Instead, she stuck to juice. Marcus also refrained from drinking and clinked his juice glass with hers.

They both laughed for no reason.

"After dinner, let's go see a movie."

"When you were in Amberton, did you ever watch a movie with another man?" Marcus asked casually.

"Yeah! I watched them with Walter and Tyler," Natalie deliberately teased. "They even bought me popcorn and soda. I watched a romance movie with Walter, and an action movie with Tyler."

The smile on Marcus' lips froze instantly.

Natalie watched his reaction closely. The moment she saw his mood darken, she couldn't help but laugh. "I was lying. Are you jealous again, Marcus?"

She laughed even harder. "I was just teasing you. I never watched a movie with them, not even with Olivia."

"I'm not jealous," Marcus replied calmly. "Do I seem like a petty man? I don't care about your past. From now on, I just need to be the only one by your side."
