Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183: Justin’s Arrival

On the way to the Fords...

Justin sat in his car in silence, his mind consumed by what his lookalike had told him.

"You are Aiden Handrix. You’ve lost your memories." And the last part stuck with him even more: "On Natalie’s marriage certificate, it’s your real name, Aiden Handrix."

If my name truly is Aiden Handrix, then why don’t I remember it? When did I lose my memories? What kind of game is this man playing, and who’s the mastermind behind it all—someone who clearly knows both Natalie and me? He thought back to the man’s initial reaction. He looked genuinely surprised to see me. So, whoever planned this didn’t know I was alive. But why use my name to marry Natalie, and what’s the real story behind Aiden Handrix?

The questions swirling in his mind made his head pound.

"Noah, get me the details of everything I’ve done up until now, especially in the past five years. I want records of where I was, what I did, and who I met—all with concrete proof. Don’t just give me written records; I want videos, pictures, anything you can find."

"Yes, Mr. Harper," Noah replied, handing him a fresh shirt from the emergency bag always kept in Justin’s car. "You’ll need to change, sir."

Justin looked down and noticed his shirt’s top buttons were missing, remnants of his earlier encounter. He proceeded to change, knowing he needed to look his best at the Fords’ event.

Just then, his phone buzzed with a message from Natalie.

Natalie: No need to come here. Your gift has caused quite a commotion, and now everyone’s curious to know more about you.

Justin continued changing shirts and asked, "How much longer until we arrive?"

"Ten minutes at most, Mr. Harper," the driver replied. "The venue isn’t far."

Justin ignored Natalie’s message, sensing the trouble brewing around her. If I truly am Aiden Handrix, then she’s my wife, he thought, feeling at least one positive thing came out of all this confusion. So, she married no one else but me. She belongs to me.

Being Natalie’s real husband was the only reason that he found the thought of being Aiden Handrix was bearable.

They arrived at the Ford estate. As Justin stepped out of the car, he turned to Noah. "No need to follow me."

Noah nodded, watching as Justin made his way inside. The staff directed him toward the garden, where the celebration was underway.

Justin spotted a commotion and saw Natalie slap a woman, warning everyone not to insult her husband. He stopped in his tracks, momentarily taken aback. He’d heard that she once nearly strangled Briena for insulting him, but witnessing her protective side in person tugged at his heart.

He had always been powerful, the one everyone feared, never needing anyone to stand up for him. But seeing her defend him, he didn’t mind forgetting who he truly was and simply wished to be her husband.

Though I don’t know how I ended up marrying her, one thing is clear: it was the best thing that ever happened to me, he thought, his gaze locked on Natalie. This woman, she is mine, and I am never letting her go.

Then he heard Sephina say that Natalie didn’t deserve to be a Ford. He couldn’t help but find it laughable as he replied aloud, "My wife doesn’t need the Ford family’s title. I’m enough for her."

He strode towards her, having eyes only for her. ’If these people knew who she is truly married to, they would get on their knees in front of me right at this moment, but it’s not the time yet. Soon, it will happen. They all will regret hurting my woman.’

He stood in front of Natalie, as if he could not wait to reach her already. The way she looked at him, he could see through her. She portrayed the strong and fierce woman just a moment before, but as she looked at him, she looked like a young woman experiencing her first love.

Suddenly he had the urge to protect her, to keep her away from this world.

After greeting Albert, Eldric turned to Justin. "Young man, are you Natalie’s husband?"

Sensing this man was Albert’s friend, Justin nodded politely. "Yes, I am her husband."

Albert and Natalie tensed, hoping Eldric wouldn’t bring up the Heart Stone.

"Of course he’s my grandson-in-law, Eldric," Albert intervened quickly. "Now, let’s not bombard him with questions—let’s cut the cake. It’s getting late."

"That’s true as well," Justin replied with a smirk. "I live in your home, eat your meals... and sometimes enjoy you for dessert."
