The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 757

Sky stood at the entrance for a while before turning and heading back inside.

At some point, Charlotte had come to the doorway. When she saw him returning, she gave him a small smile.

"Sky, come with me somewhere in a bit."

"Alright, Mother."

"Go change your clothes. Don't wear a suit. Dress casually—something that makes you look younger. Oh, and wear a cap too."

Charlotte looked Sky up and down. After being out of prison for a few days, he had finally put on a little weight.

When Sky had just gotten released on parole, he was far too thin. His old clothes hung off him loosely and were now ill-fitting.

It wasn't until a designer came by to tailor some new ones that he finally had clothes that fit his figure again.

"Sky, don't carry any guilt with you. You're still our pride and joy." Charlotte stepped forward and hugged him. "Back then, we didn't step in to help you because we had other things to consider. I hope you don't resent us for it."

"Mother, I understand." Sky hugged her back. "I know you did it for my sake. Besides, I made terrible mistakes. I deserved to be punished.

"Not helping me was the right thing to do. If you did something wrong, you should pay the price for it. That's only fair. So, Mother, you don't need to worry. I don't blame anyone. I have no right to blame anyone in the first place."

"Sky, I'm really glad to hear that.

"Now, go change out of those clothes. We'll head out soon."

"Yes, Mother."

Sky turned and went upstairs to his room. He quickly changed into something casual. His outfit consisted of a simple T-shirt and a pair of sweats. He swapped his black dress shoes for white sneakers and pulled on a baseball cap that covered his still-short hair.

He instantly looked younger and more energetic.

Charlotte was satisfied with his appearance. "My son really is handsome. Let's go! Gorge, get the car ready."

"Yes, Mrs. Walker."

Gorge quickly had the car brought around. After Charlotte and Sky got in, she provided the driver with an address.

"To Hawthorne Hill."

"Yes, Mrs. Walker."

Sky didn't ask why they were heading there, even as they arrived.

At the top of Hawthorne Hill stood a century-old chapel, known among locals for its quiet reverence and answered prayers. People often went there to make wishes. And when those wishes came true, they would return with candles and offerings to show their gratitude.

If Charlotte wanted him to go with her, it was likely to keep a promise made in silence.

The ride over was smooth. Sky looked out the window and realized that Dithoria hadn't changed much. What had changed, however, was his mindset.

"Sky, don't worry. Just relax a little."

"Mother, I'm fine." Sky smiled faintly. "There's nothing to worry about. I've adjusted well since coming home, and I've adapted quickly at work too."

"Good. That puts my heart at ease. Nat is pregnant now. Timothy and Mason are accompanying her and Marcus on the road trip. Still, your father and I can't stop worrying. We're afraid Marcus won't take good enough care of Nat."

Charlotte sighed. "Nat's so independent and isn't clingy at all. We rarely get a chance to take care of her ourselves.

"Your father and I considered joining them, but we figured it would be awkward for them to have elders tagging along, so we sent Timothy and Mason instead.

"Sky, I'm not worried about you, but Emma still weighs heavily on my mind. The situation with her really affected you.

"Be honest with me. When you found out that Emma wasn't your biological sister, did you ever develop romantic feelings for her?"
