Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 423

Chapter 423: How Caryn And Serena Met

They arrived at Justin’s penthouse at the top of the NextEra Corp headquarters building. Natalie was not surprised at the thought that this man had such a lavish penthouse with every possible facility available here. It even had its own garden that one wouldn’t feel like going anywhere else to visit the greenery. The entire top floor of that building was his residence, which was impossible to explore in just a single visit.

For now, it was time to deal with the important matters. The rest, she could explore this home later.

"Let’s head to my study. I have something to show you," Justin said.

As they entered the study, Justin made her sit on the couch and then went to one of the drawer chests and pulled out a small box. He brought it to Natalie.

"What is it?" she asked, curiously looking at that old, but beautifully crafted wooden box.

"Something my real father has left behind," Justin answered and opened it.

Natalie went through it, while Justin pulled out one picture of Serena in her youth. He clicked the picture of it and sent it to someone.

"I have a call to make. You can look through it," Justin said and went to sit in the chair behind his desk as he talked on the call for a while. When he returned, Natalie, who was delighted to see Justin’s pictures from when he was just a baby to his eight-year-old self, looked at him.

"Justin, these seem like precious memories your father wished to cherish," she said, feeling a little emotional about it. "You were so cute as a baby. Can’t believe that cute baby would grow into a handsome but mysterious man like you."

"You should be relived, our baby would be as cute as me," he commented.

"I was cute as well," she commented with a smile, and then looked at the beuatiful couple in the picture, "I do feel bad about your parents."

As she now knew the story from the past, she couldn’t help but feel bad not only about Justin but his parents as well. Two people in love—what did they even want? Just a peaceful, ordinary life, but they couldn’t even have it.

Seeing Serena today in her miserable situation and seeing Serena from her youth, how happy she was with her man and her kids, she couldn’t help but feel sympathy towards her.

How great would it have been if the past was not so cruel and she was still with her husband and kids, living a happy life?

Justin simply sat quietly next to her, looking at those pictures, trying to comprehend his own emotions.

Natalie then looked at Justin. "If your grandpa ever tried to do the same with us, I wouldn’t run away, but I would rather kill him right there."

"You don’t have to. I would be the one to do that," Justin replied. "Let him live for a while longer."

Natalie put her hand on Justin’s. "I know your parents had different situation with two kids to protect, and that old man was more powerful, I can only wish if at least someone was there to help them. I know you feel bad for them as well."

She knew he never showed his emotional side, but she could feel he was equally affected for his parents.

She got the picture from Justin’s hand, which he had sent to someone a while ago. As she looked at youthful Serena, Natalie said as if trying to figure out something, "You might feel I am overthinking, but I feel like I have met your mother somewhere."
