Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29: She Is Naturally Beautiful

"I’m in my study. If you need anything, just let Noah know," Justin instructed Natalie before calling Noah inside and returning to his study.

Noah approached her politely. "Ms. Natalie, let me know if you need anything."

"My bag is in my car. I need it," she replied, handing him her car key.

Noah soon returned with her bag, which contained her laptop. Not one to sit idle, Natalie decided to work on the interior design project she had taken on from her friend Sean.

’I can’t visit the site yet, but I can’t waste time,’ she thought as she settled into her work.

After an hour of focused effort, she prepared an email to send to the owner of the home, outlining her ideas of the design. If the owner approved, she could proceed with the project.

’What was the email address Sean told me?’ she wondered, opening her cellphone to check Sean’s message where he told her to directly communicate with the client on given email.

"busybaron@..." She raised an eyebrow, "Interesting email ID. Let’s hope this BusyBaron replies quickly." With that, she clicked the send button. "Done."

Having worked for an hour, Natalie felt a bit tired and glanced towards the study. ’Seems like he’s busy working. He won’t mind if I rest a bit.’

She rested her head on the cushioned armrest, pulled her legs up onto the sofa, and closed her eyes, allowing herself to relax.

Meanwhile, Justin, who had just finished his work, received an email from an ID with the username "Carlie." Curious, he opened it and quickly realized it was related to an interior design proposal. The username caught his attention. ’Carlie—that’s the name of that famous and secretive interior designer I hired.’

Justin reviewed the design suggestions the designer had crafted based on the instructions he had provided. He was impressed with her work.

’No wonder she’s among the best. It was a good idea to hire her.’

He replied to the email, conveying he liked the ideas and she could feel free to add anything she wished suitable to add.

"Mr. Harper, you missed your lunch today. Would you like me to arrange it now?" Noah asked politely, reminding Justin of the time.

This reminded Justin of Natalie that she must have missed her meal as well. "For two people," he instructed.

"Yes, Mr. Harper," Noah replied before leaving the study.

Curious about how Natalie was doing, Justin walked into the drawing room and found her sound asleep on the sofa. Her peaceful expression was a stark contrast to the usual restlessness she carried. Quietly, He went to the bedroom and returned with a warm sheet in his hands. He leaned down and carefully draped it over her.

As soon as she felt the warmth, Natalie stirred slightly, clutching the sheet closer, and drifted back into a deep, peaceful sleep.

Justin found himself observing her closely. For the first time, she appeared truly at peace, free from the burdens she usually carried. As he studied her features, he noticed just how naturally beautiful she was.

Unlike many, she didn’t rely on makeup, yet her skin was smooth and radiant. Her long lashes, tiny pointed nose, and delicate pink lips with a thin layer of gloss accentuated her beauty. He even noticed a small dimple on her chin.

His gaze moved lower, tracing the graceful curve of her neck, but when it began to drift further down, he quickly averted his eyes, catching himself. What am I doing? he wondered, feeling a strange mix of emotions.

He shook his head, trying to dismiss his thoughts. I’m reading too much into it. Until now, he didn’t have a sister either. He’s just taking care of her as her brother.

It’s been years since I’ve slept this peacefully, she thought, remembering how she’d always had to stay alert, even in her sleep, to protect herself.
