Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70: I Want Greatgrandkids

"Natalie, can you get my cell phone from my room?" Albert asked.

"G-Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll talk to him right away," Natalie replied, forcing an awkward smile. "I haven’t spoken to him since this morning, so I’ll take this chance...."

"Just admit you’re missing him and can’t wait to talk," Albert teased, grinning. "Go ahead, call him."

Natalie hurried to her bedroom, tossing her bag onto the bed before quickly dialing Justin’s number. The call went through, but he didn’t answer.

Come on, pick up already.

She gritted her teeth as the second time the result was the same.

Alright, let’s just leave him a message. If he misses it, it’s his fault.

She typed him a message and sent while she murmured, Please read this. I don’t care what’s going on with you and your grandma, but I do care about my grandpa.

Justin was busy in work when he noticed his phone ringing. Seeing Natalie’s name flash on the screen, he frowned. Probably dialled me by mistake while trying to call her lover, he thought dismissively.

The phone rang again, but he ignored it and continued working. A short while later, a message notification popped up. Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to check it.

Your grandmother is in my home. Do not return unless you want to be busted.

The phone almost slipped from his hand in shock. Grandma at Natalie’s home? He read the message again, then immediately dialled Natalie’s number.

As soon as she picked up, her voice came through in an angry whisper. "Finally decided to answer?"

Justin thought about apologizing but held back. He was still irritated by what he’d overheard earlier—Natalie and Albert talking about how she still pined for that idiot, Ivan Brown.

"I read the message," he said curtly, refusing to soften his tone. "I won’t be coming home."

"Good, at least you’ve got some sense," she snapped, trying to keep her voice in check. "Do something about your grandma, and get her away from my grandpa before both of them plan something like today again. Then we both would be exposed and be chewed alive by our grandparents."

"I will do something," Justine assured, "But Julia rarely listens to anyone so I can’t guarantee either."

"No wonder you and her are so related. Like grandma, like grandson."

Justin understood the jab but chose not to respond. ’You are no different. You are related to her more than me.’

Justin added, "If she doesn’t leave soon, just let her stay for a bit. She’ll get bored and leave on her own. In the meantime, I won’t come home."

"I’ll tell Grandpa you’re tied up with something important at work, and that you’ll either be late or might not come back at all."

Justin hummed and hung up. He immediately called Julia.

Julia was thrilled to see his call come through.

"See? My grandson called. I’m sure he’s worried about where I am," Julia said, picking up her phone. Her cheerful face quickly shifted to a more serious expression, hiding her excitement. "Why did you call?" she asked coldly.

"Grandma, sorry I missed breakfast with you. To make up for it, I was thinking of taking you out for dinner," Justin replied.

"Dinner? I think I’m already in the best and most perfect place for it," she said, glancing at Natalie, who had just returned after calling her husband. Her gaze softened. "The chef here is to my liking. My grand... I mean, my friend’s granddaughter is going to cook for us."

"Grandma, it can’t be compare to the place I am taking you to," Justin pressed.

"No, I’m staying here," Julia declared. "Why don’t you come over? You’re a great cook, and you might as well help with your amazing cooking skills."

At her words, both Justin and Natalie, along with Andrew, held their breaths. If only she knew the truth.

"Natalie, what did Aiden say?" Albert asked.

Justin, still processing what Natalie had just said, was momentarily stunned. Did Natalie just tell them that last night we two were...?
