Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135: My Special One

Justin exited the bathroom and walked out to the deck, needing the fresh air to calm himself. Being so close to her, feeling her warmth, and holding himself back—it wasn’t easy.

Should I really sleep in the living room tonight? he wondered, his heart still pounding. I’m afraid I might just lose control and pounce on her. She’s truly so tempting.

When Natalie returned to the room, she didn’t find Justin there. Where did he go?

Before heading to bed, she decided to look for him, wondering what was wrong now. She found him standing on the deck, quietly staring at the night sky as if lost in thought.

Sensing her presence, he glanced over his shoulder at her.

She walked forward and stood beside him. "Is something wrong?"

He remained silent for a while, and Natalie found herself glancing following his line of sight to know what he was looking at so intently, but it was just the dark sky.

After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Justin, is there something else I should know about you—other than you being Justin Harper, the heir of the Harper Group?"

Justin turned to look at her, studying her face before responding, "Why do you feel so?"

She met his gaze directly. "Sometimes it feels like you turn into a completely different person—someone far different from just the CEO of the Harper Group."

"Are you saying you’re interested in knowing more about me?" He raised a brow, acting all high and mighty like a king. "Not just any woman gets to know me," he stepped closer, leaned down until his face was level with hers, his eyes piercing into hers. His voice dropped to a low murmur. "Unless that woman is someone special to me. You do understand what I mean by special. Are you saying you want to be that special woman to me?"

She took a step back, frowning. "Don’t put words in my mouth. I was just asking a simple question."

"Then you won’t get to know anything more about me."

"Fine. I’m not interested anyway," she retorted and stormed off the deck, heading back to her room.

Justin watched her leave, a small, unreadable smile playing on his lips as he thought, It’s not time for you to know more about me yet.

Justin stayed out on the deck for a long time, staring at the night sky, lost in his thoughts. It wasn’t until it was truly late that he decided to finally get some sleep. He glanced at the sofa, contemplating whether he should sleep there, but ultimately changed his mind.

He walked quietly to the master bedroom. She must be asleep by now.

As he entered, he found Natalie lying on her side, already fast asleep. Careful not to make a sound, he slipped under the blanket beside her. Just then, as if sensing his presence, Natalie shifted in her sleep and turned to face him.

Unable to resist, Justin turned to face her as well. Under the soft glow of the night lamp, he gazed at her serene, peaceful face. Even in sleep, she looked incredibly beautiful.

She’s beautiful whether she’s awake or asleep, scared or brave, crying or smiling, angry or calm... he thought, captivated by her. Every side of her is just so beautiful. His hand, as if acting on its own, reached out to gently caress her cheek.

Just tell me I’m the only one who gets to see you like this. No other man is ever allowed to witness these moments. You are and will always be mine.

He gently moved a stray strand of hair away from her face. You want to know me? Sure, but only when the right time comes. As I said, only a woman who’s special to me can know everything about me. And by that time, you’ll already be mine—my special one.

There’s no way you can ever be my sister. I’ll find a way out of it, so nothing changes between us—even if you become a Harper.
