Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113: You Dare Insult My Husband?

"I didn’t know John was so skilled," Natalie murmured.

"He used to be a mercenary before he started working for me. He’s far more dangerous than you can imagine," Justin added.

Natalie was surprised to hear that but asked no more as they entered the patient room.

"Mr. Ford, your family is here," a nurse informed him.

The old man opened his eyes, and the moment he saw Natalie, his lips curved into a faint smile.

Seeing this, Natalie felt reassured that her grandpa was no longer angry with her. Although it was all built on a lie, Justin had once again saved her. But how long could this lie last? Once Albert was better, she would explain everything to him properly, hoping that he would understand her situation and not be too shocked.

"Grandpa," she said softly, holding his hand. "How are you feeling?"

"I’m fine," the old man replied. "I’m sorry for scaring you."

"It’s alright, Grandpa, as long as you’re okay."

Albert then looked at Justin, who offered him a polite nod.

"What should I call you—Justin or Aiden?" Albert asked.

"Aiden would be fine," Justin replied.

He didn’t want anyone around to know who he truly was. If word got out that he was in the city, the news would spread everywhere, disrupting his peace.

Albert looked back at Natalie. "I’m glad someone like Justin Harper is with you. No doubt he’s a wealthy man, but he’s also humble and genuinely cares about you. I don’t have to worry about you two facing any financial troubles. My Natalie can have a good life now. Leave this family and live your life with your husband."

"Grandpa, I’m not going anywhere. Even though he’s wealthy, I have to build my own wealth to match his. I’m not leaving as a failure. I have things to do," Natalie replied with determination.

Albert chuckled. "That’s exactly what I expected from you. A woman needs to be independent. Who knows when a husband might leave?"

"I will never leave her," Justin interjected, his voice and gaze resolute. "Even if she wants to leave me, I won’t allow it."

Natalie looked at him in shock, thinking, Mister, aren’t you going a bit overboard with your acting? But she held back her words.

Justin met her gaze. "I mean it. You’re stuck with me forever, Natalie Ford."

Natalie felt something was off. Justin had said similar things before, but she brushed them off as playfulness. But... why does he sound so serious? Has he taken the same acting classes as Briena? It’s so believable when they both act.

Justin raised an eyebrow at her, as if asking what she was thinking. In response, she simply turned back to Albert. "Grandpa, stop worrying about me. You need to take care of yourself first."

"I will," Albert assured her.

After talking for a while, Justin and Natalie were about to leave when Albert spoke, "Natalie, give me some time alone with Aiden."

Natalie nodded and stepped out of the room.

Albert looked at Justin. "You remember what you promised me before the surgery, don’t you, Justin?"

"I do, Mr. Ford. And I meant every word I said," Justin replied, his tone polite yet resolute.

Albert hummed and added, "Also, I want to be with Natalie. Not with my family."
