The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 239

After Connie finished taking photos, she turned around and was startled to see Sheldon striking the same pose with his phone.

She almost dropped her medicine, and he quickly steadied her. "Ms. Sterling, please stay calm. I won't tell anyone, so don't worry."

Seeing that he had frightened Connie, he felt guilty. "I didn't mean to scare you. It's just that from this angle, you're in the perfect spot to take those photos. Sorry about that, Ms. Sterling."

Connie was left speechless. Why was Sheldon also taking photos?

"Ms. Sterling, please go deliver the medicine to Mr. Holden Senior." He tucked his phone away and spoke casually, as if taking photos wasn't something he had just done.

Connie wondered how Sheldon could be so calm.

Marcus and Sophia had already gotten into the car and left outside the villa. Connie didn't know what to say to Sheldon, so she just nodded and went to find Charles.

…

Meanwhile, Natalie and Olivia were fortunate enough to sleep in at the Walker residence until they woke up naturally.

After getting ready and heading downstairs, they found that the huge Walker residence was empty except for Emma.

Upon seeing them, Emma smiled and politely greeted them.

"Good morning, Nat and Olivia. Please have a seat. I'll tell the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

"Dad went to pick up Mom, and Sky and Lincoln have gone to work. Mason and I have the day off. Mason stayed up late playing video games, so he's still asleep." Emma spoke sweetly and looked harmless, humbling herself in front of them.

Her behavior was so uncharacteristic that Natalie couldn't maintain her usual cold demeanor.

Natalie and Olivia exchanged glances. Had Emma really changed overnight? Last night, she was hysterical, but today, she seemed like a refined lady.

"Have a seat. Breakfast will be ready soon," Emma said softly before heading into the kitchen.

In the living room, Olivia lowered her voice. "Natalie, do you think Emma is genuinely being kind?"

"I don't know." Natalie pulled Olivia to the couch. "As I said, I won't make it difficult for her. If she behaves herself and stays within her boundaries, it doesn't matter if the Walker family takes care of her."

Olivia pressed her lips together. "Alright, then."

The Walker family was wealthy and powerful. Besides Walker Group, each of the Walker brothers had their own thriving businesses.

Any of them could easily support Emma—so long as she didn't provoke Natalie or try to play petty rivalry games with her.

Natalie and Olivia sat on the couch, watching Emma enter the kitchen. She soon returned with a tray of freshly baked biscuits.

"Nat, Olivia, I was worried you would be hungry, so I went to get some biscuits for you. I also brought some milk."

Emma placed the tray on the coffee table and sat upright. "I was wrong last night. After calming down, I really regret not controlling my emotions."

Natalie's gaze dropped to Emma's wrist, which was wrapped in thick bandages. She wore a delicate white dress and pink bunny slippers, exposing her slender legs and toes.

Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her pale face made her look fragile—as if trying to appear firmer than she really was. She was the picture of someone one might pity.

However, neither Natalie nor Olivia felt pity for her. Neither responded to Emma's kindness nor touched the biscuits and milk.

Emma waited a moment, but when they both didn't move, she picked up a biscuit and ate it.

After eating three, she drank a sip of milk from each cup.
