Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 347

Chapter 347: Introducing The Family Members

Soon, the banquet ended, and the guests departed. The Queen took this opportunity to introduce Natalie to the royal family members and close relatives.

"Natalie, this is Howard, my elder brother," the Queen began, "his son, Garwin, and his granddaughter, Charlotte."

Natalie offered them a polite nod, to which they responded in kind.

"Good to see you back in the family, Natalie," Howard said. "We’re all glad that my sister was able to find you."

Natalie simply smiled in response as he continued, "My granddaughter, Charlotte, is around your age. I hope you two can get along well."

Natalie and Charlotte exchanged glances.

"I will be a good elder sister to her," Natalie said, making it clear she was the older one.

Howard turned to the Queen. "Sister, it’s truly fortunate that we have Carmen and her daughter back. But I hope you won’t overlook Charlotte. After all, you raised her since she lost her mother at birth."

"Of course, Howard. Charlotte and Natalie are both my granddaughters. I will not ignore either of them," the Queen assured him before turning to another man who bore a resemblance to Howard.

"Natalie, this is Lenard, my younger brother," she said. "His wife, Saira, and their sons, Rhys and Isac."

Natalie knew Lenard was the Queen’s half-brother. Unlike Howard, he preferred to stay away from royal affairs, focusing instead on his business with his two sons. Being much younger than the Queen and Howard, Lenard looked around the same age as his nephew, Garwin.

No wonder his sons, Rhys and Isac, were also relatively young—Rhys being a few years older than Natalie, while Isac was closer to her age.

She greeted Lenard with a polite nod before looking at his two sons. She immediately recognized Rhys as the man who had personally brought her meal, which had been ordered by James Harper.

Both of them exchanged smiles.

"Mr. Rhys," Natalie greeted with a smile, "good to see you again."

"To think of it, you’re my niece now," Rhys said with amusement. "But since I’m not much older than you, you can just call me Rhys like Charlotte does."

"Alright," she agreed.

Rhys then turned his attention to Justin, who stood next to Natalie. He observed him for a moment before asking, "And this gentleman?"

"Your niece’s husband," Justin replied coolly, unbothered by the attention.

The Queen interjected before anyone else could speak. Realizing she had yet to formally introduce Justin to everyone, she said, "This is Natalie’s husband, Aiden Handrix."

Rhys immediately extended his hand. "Glad to meet you, Aiden."

Now, everyone knew he was Natalie’s husband.

"If I may ask, what does my brother-in-law do for a living?" Charlotte inquired, a wicked smirk playing on her lips.

"He’s just enjoying being my husband," Natalie answered smoothly. "And to think, now he is going to be the husband of the princess of this kingdom. I’m sure he can just live with that," she added, turning to Justin. "Am I right?"

Justin offered her a light smile and hummed in agreement.

"Stop prying so much during your first meeting," the Queen said lightly. "We should leave some things to discover later."

Charlotte didn’t insist but thought to herself, Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll make sure the entire world knows exactly what kind of husband Princess Natalie has.

After introducing a few more relatives, the Queen dismissed the gathering, leaving only herself, Justin, and Natalie.

"Natalie, when can I meet Carmen? Would it be alright if I visited the Imperial City to see her?" the Queen asked carefully.

"Grandma, I understand how you feel. But for now, you have to be patient. I’m sure if Mother sent me here, she has plans to come to you as well," Natalie assured her.
