The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 277

Natalie remained silent. Charles personally made the request. Even though she sympathized with Marcus, she couldn't outright refuse.

Besides, when she saw Marcus sitting in the room that day, sunlight streamed over him, but it did nothing to warm him. His whole being exuded an air of cold isolation, making him look almost pitiful.

She was unsure whether it was a momentary sense of sympathy or the fact that they were working together, but in the end, she agreed.

"Whatever decision you make, Nat, I will always support you," Olivia said.

Seeing Natalie's silence, she didn't press further. A true friend understood and respected the other's choices. As long as it did not bring them harm, that was enough.

"Olivia, thank you."

"Oh, come on. Why are you being so formal? Aren't I just waiting for you to take me to new heights?" Olivia hugged Natalie and planted a quick kiss on her cheek.

"Alright, let's finish breakfast and start getting ready. Mrs. Walker sent 18 gowns to your room, and I have also prepared the two dresses from Mr. Holden Senior. You just need to pick the one you want to wear," she added.

"Got it."

"Thank you for all the trouble."

After finishing her shrimp roll, Natalie was whisked away by the styling team. Every strand of her hair had to be in its perfect state today.

As time ticked by, Gorge coordinated the helpers, ensuring every detail was in place. Charlotte and William were equally busy, finalizing the preparations before heading to the entrance to greet guests.

The guests invited by the Walker family arrived one after another. Some came early, while others were still on the way.

The young men Olivia had spotted earlier were among those who had arrived ahead of time. Most of them were friends of the Walker family's five brothers.

As the final guests took their places, Natalie was done getting prepared. Olivia helped her into her chosen gown, Starry Brilliance.

Her hair was casually pinned up, with a few wisps left loose around her face, adding a touch of effortless elegance. As a gentle breeze brushed past, she looked both ethereal and soft.

On her head, she wore the diamond tiara gifted by Charles. Around her neck rested a magnificent sapphire pendant.

Starry Brilliance featured a strapless V-neck design, elegant yet modest. The shallow scars on her body were expertly concealed by the makeup artist's skillful application of foundation, leaving her skin looking flawless and radiant.

Even the faint scars on her slender arms were carefully covered. Time had been too short. No matter how diligently she applied the best scar removal creams, full recovery wasn't possible just yet.

"All done." The stylist fastened a pair of moon-shaped sapphire earrings as the final touch.

"Ms. Walker, take a look. Which gown do you want to change into later? I'll have it prepared in advance."

The stylist observed Natalie in the mirror. Her delicate features, porcelain skin, and striking beauty carried an almost ethereal quality, as if sculpted by the hands of a master artisan. She needed no heavy makeup; her natural elegance was already mesmerizing.

The wedding dress hugged her figure as if it had been tailor-made for her. With every step, she seemed to carry an entire galaxy, flowing, shimmering, utterly mesmerizing.

For a moment, the stylist couldn't determine whether the person elevated the outfit or the outfit elevated the person.

Natalie stood up, offering a gentle smile. "Thank you."

The stylist's heart pounded. She had worked with countless actresses, but none had ever stunned her like this.
