Chapter 225 His Presence or Absence Doesn't Matter Much Mason had just cback, and he furrowed his brows upon seeing Cindy's reaction. "What's the matter, Cindy?" "No, Nothing..." Cindy stuttered.
"Mr. Mason, when did you cback? I didn't even hear your footsteps!" Cindy's face turned pale from the shock. She prayed that Mason hadn't overheard her conversation with Emma over the phone.
"I just cback not long ago," he said.
Mason eyed Cindy doubtfully.
"Am I that scary? Her face literally turned all pale!" he thought.
"Oh, I see." Cindy regained her composure. She believed Mason had not overheard her talking to Emma on the phone, so she squeezed out a smile. "I'm chatting with my good friend on the phone. She toldthere's a good short series, and she wantedto watch it with her." "Really?" After glancing at Cindy for a while, Mason nodded. "Don't get too relaxed now, although Emma's not home. You should still do the tasks you're supposed to do." "I understand, Mr. Mason," Cindy replied immediately.
After Mason left, Cindy placed the phone to her ear again. "Ms. Emma, I'm going to hang up the call now. I almost got caught by Mr. Mason." "Okay. Remember to keepupdated at all times since you're home, Cindy." "I will, Ms. Emma. Don't worry." Cindy hung up the call. After taking a few deep breaths, she returned to the villa cautiously.

"Avoid bathing for now. If you really feel like taking one, use a wet towel to clean your body." Hector put away the medical kit and continued, "By the way, I saw Ms. Sinclair during my consultation at another hospital today.
"I think I saw her heading to the Obstetric and Gynecological Department." Hector spoke in a mild tone and left it at that. Then, he stood up and passed the medical kit to Cindy. "Put it back, Cindy." "Okay, Mr. Hector." "I'm going to find Lincoln and Natalie." As Hector walked out of the villa, he bumped into Mason, who had just cback. "I'm going to where Lincoln and Natalie are, Mason. Do you want to tag along?" "Sure!" Mason agreed straight away, following Hector to Lincoln's garage.
Walker Manor had a total of nine garages. William and Charlotte each had their own, as did the siblings. One of the remaining two garages was designated for the security team and helper vehicles, while the other was reserved for guests during parties.
Lincoln accompanied Natalie as she was choosing a car in his garage.
He loved the Bentley models a lot, and so most of his cars were Bentleys.
"What do you think of this car, Nat?" Lincoln pointed at a Bentley Batur. "I think this car suits you well." Natalie walked up to the car, reaching out her hand and touching it lightly. "But I like G-Wagons." Since she liked G-Wagons, it was the vehicle she used the most whenever she traveled.
"Sure, I have G-Wagon as well." Lincoln signaled Natalie to follow him. "Con!" "What about a Maybach G650?" he asked.
Natalie grinned as she replied, "A normal car will do, Lincoln. I don't have such high standards for cars." "No way! You're the sister of Lincoln Walker, the A-List actor and CEO of an entertainment company. A normal car doesn't suit a person like you." Lincoln smiled. "You don't have to be so formal with me, Nat. Pick whichever you like." "Hi, Lincoln. Hi, Natalie!" Hector and Mason greeted in unison.
Then, Mason dashed over and wrapped his arms around a Bentley Arnage. "Lincoln, can you give this car to me? I love it so much." "No, buzz off!" Lincoln pulled Mason away and added, "You can make your own money and buy it after you graduate. Or, if you bring back a gold medal, I'll buy it for you." "Nat..." Mason turned to hug Natalie, trying to charm her. "Natalie, can you ask Lincoln to givea car? Pretty please with a cherry on top? I'll let you have all my money in the future." Natalie still hadn't gotten used to being so close to them. Hence, her body stiffened up again.
Luckily, Lincoln yanked Mason off Natalie almost instantly. "Oh, get lost. You can have the one over there." Lincoln casually picked a key from the ring of car keys, throwing it to Mason.
Mason pressed the car lock, and a car in the distance made a sound. He burst into happy cheers.
"Thank you so much, Lincoln! May you earn billions every year, becoming more handsand successful!" Mason couldn't contain his excitement after he got the car. He was dancing around, celebrating it. After all, he was still a student, and the Walkers wouldn't spoil him with anything luxurious.
Although the Walkers didn't follow the idea of giving the boys less while spoiling the girls, William and Charlotte didn't offer the boys overly lavish material comforts. They wanted them to be modest.
While the family provided them with confidence, they had to be exceptional on their own as well.
The siblings in the Walker family received top-tier education at a young age. Thus, they were all excellent people, and each was a top figure in their respective fields.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was all true except for Mason, who was still a student in a sports academy.
It was his dream to win a gold medal for his country. Although the training he underwent every day was grueling, he never once whined.
The only reason he had been coming hoften recently was because of Natalie.
Once the semester begins, Mason would have to throw himself back into training. With all the upcoming competitions, he would no longer have the luxury of tlike this. "Sky was punished by Father. Do you both want to go back to see him?" Hector pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose lightly. "I was informed of it on my way back." "Well, I'm with Nat," Lincoln said.
Mason nodded. "Sky deserved it." "Still, he's our eldest brother. Natalie, n.
you should go and check on him. Sky dotes on Emma more, which is why he may seem like her other parent sometimes," Hector said as he took out a tube of ointment.
"Emma knows how to flatter Sky. She often has deep conversations with him and sends him gifts occasionally, so Sky likes her more." Hector didn't mention that they had kicked Sky out of their group chat before Natalie had returned.
"But Natalie, you're our biological sister. Sky might not get it now, but he will, eventually. Take this ointment, you can bring it to Sky and help him apply it."
"Hector, Natalie doesn't have to flatter Sky, does she?" Lincoln wro disagreed. "Sky did something wrong, feed and that's why he was punished. Why does Natalie have to go and flatter him? "Besides, Sky can keep pampering
Emma if he wants. Natalie has us, right? It's not like his presence or m absence matters. mych Natalie doesn't need to try and please him, nor does she need to compete with Emma." "Lincoln, I'm not asking Natalie to compete with Emma. What I meant was Sky needed an excuse to back down," Hector explained with patience. "I'm worried that Sky take his anger out on Natalie too.
