Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Her Scent Affecting Justin

Justin received the call. Seeing the name Mr. Ford flashing on the screen, he raised his hand to signal Noah to keep quiet and answered.

"Mr. Ford," Justin spoke calmly.

"Aiden, I hope I’m not catching you at a bad time," Albert’s voice came through, sounding slightly concerned.

"I’m not busy," Justin replied, his tone polite but lacking any warmth that might suggest familiarity.

"Is Natalie with you?"

"She’s not."

"Oh! Have you seen the news about Natalie?"

"I have," Justin confirmed.

"Don’t take that news too seriously, alright? It was just a simple argument between sisters. Natalie isn’t the kind of person they’re making her out to be. Don’t misunderstand her, okay?"

"I won’t. Rest assured," Justin replied, his voice steady.

Albert let out a sigh of relief. "Good. Don’t let her go out for a day. Call her back and stay by her side. Trouble seems to find its way to her, but I believe you can protect her. Am I right?"

"Yes. I’ll get her back," Justin assured him.

"Good. Once I’m feeling a bit better, I’ll personally visit the two of you at your home."

There was a moment of silence on Justin’s end. Their home? The thought of having to act as his step-sister’s husband again was unsettling. If Julia found out about this, she would undoubtedly be enraged.

"Aiden?" the old man called, not getting a response.

"Yes. Mr Ford."

"Alright then. I’ll leave you to take care of your wife." Satisfied, Albert hung up the call.

Justin turned to Noah. "Where exactly is she?"

"Heading to the police station," Noah replied, already knowing who Justin was referring to.

There were only two ’Her’ in his life- first, there had been Julia, and now, Natalie had become the unexpected addition.

"Get our people to stop her from going anywhere and send her back here," Justin ordered, his tone firm.

Noah could see Justin was worried about her as well, but instead of pointing it out, he commented, "You seem to listen to her grandfather, Mr Harper."

"That man is the one who took care of Natalie all these years. As her family, I should be thankful and respectful toward him," Justin responded, then refocused on his work. "Go do as I said."

Noah left the study, and Justin, who had been pretending to work, leaned back in his chair. His thoughts drifted to Natalie. Until he saw her back, safe and sound, he wouldn’t feel at ease.
