Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Shopping With Julia

As promised, Natalie took Julia shopping. They arrived at the largest mall in the city.

"What do you want to buy, Grandma?" Natalie asked as they walked inside the mall.

"Maybe start with clothes first?" Julia answered.

The two reached the floor where all the luxury clothing brand shops were lined up. "The brand you’re wearing is there. But if you like others, we can visit them as well."

"You recognized my clothing brand just like that? You seem to have a good knowledge of fashion."

"This brand released its latest collection for elderly women a month back, so I happened to notice it," Natalie replied politely.

"Having knowledge about different sectors is a good sign of being a successful businessperson. I’m sure one day you’ll be among the top people in the business world."

"Thank you, Grandma. I will try my best."

"Let’s go to another brand," Julia directed her to a store that had beautiful dresses for young women displayed on the mannequins.

The salesgirl welcomed them. "What would you like to see?"

"Dresses suitable for this beautiful young woman with me," Julia replied.

Natalie was taken aback. "Grandma, for me?"

Julia chuckled. "Of course, or do you think these dresses will suit an old woman like me?"

"I don’t wear these kinds of fancy and expensive clothes," Natalie replied. "I prefer comfortable, modest clothing."

"I know, but I want you to try what I select for you, and you are not allowed to say no—otherwise, this grandma would be upset," Julia declared.

Natalie sighed inwardly. ’She’s as stubborn as Justin. Are all Harpers like this? I wonder if James Harper is the same. In pictures, he does look like the coldest and most intimidating person one can find. No wonder Justin takes after him. Like father, like son.’

The salesgirl guided them to a stand with dresses. Julia went through them and selected a few, but insisted on a particular red dress.

"Madam, you truly have great taste. This is the most beautiful piece from our latest collection." _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

"Natalie, go try them on," Julia instructed, handing the dresses over to the salesgirl.

Though reluctant, Natalie went to the fitting room while Julia decided to use this time to browse the jewelry section in the same store. ’My granddaughter deserves to have this entire store bought for her, but I have to wait for that day.’

Just then, someone else entered the store—Briena and Lily.

"....So, Ivan is coming here to shop with you?" Lily asked cheerfully.

Briena hummed in delight. "He insisted that he wanted to take me shopping, so I agreed."

Briena had been keeping her distance from him as per Sephina’s instructions, which made Brown panic. When they called to discuss the engagement arrangements, Sephina replied that there was no hurry, which only confirmed their suspicion that something had happened to upset her. They had asked Ivan if he had done something to offend the Fords and urged him to make up for it.

Just then, Briena noticed Julia in the jewelry section. "What is that woman doing here?"

Lily followed her gaze. "Who is that?"

"Natalie’s husband’s grandmother," Briena answered with a disdainful look.

"Isn’t her husband poor and just a gigolo living off your sister’s money?" Lily asked. "What is his grandmother doing here then? Can she even afford anything?"

"Let’s see," Briena replied.
