Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73: Angry Justin

"Julia, I’m in a hurry. I have an important late-night meeting to attend. I came here just to pick you up. Please hurry downstairs. I’ll meet your friend another time," Justin’s impatient voice echoed from the other side.

"You’re always so busy," Julia huffed. "Alright, I’m coming."

She turned to Albert, "I have to leave now. My grandson is waiting for me downstairs. But I’ll make sure to visit again, and hopefully next time, I’ll meet your grandson-in-law."

Albert and Natalie nodded, while Andrew stood up as well. "I’ll head out too."

"Let me come downstairs to meet your grandson," Albert said, rising from his seat.

"G-Grandpa," Natalie quickly interjected, "you just took your medicine a little while ago. It makes you drowsy, and I’m worried you might collapse."

"She’s right, Albert," Andrew added swiftly, trying to save Justin from being caught. "You can meet him some other time."

With everyone insisting, Albert finally agreed and stayed back.

As soon as Julia left, Natalie sighed in relief. "Grandpa, you haven’t rested since noon. You should get some sleep now."

Albert truly felt tired so he didn’t deny. As Natalie walked him to his room, he continued, "Make sure to check on Aiden and see when he’ll be home. It’s not good to work too much."

"Yes, Grandpa."

"And you’ve saved some food for him, haven’t you?"

"I have, Grandpa," Natalie replied, though she thought to herself, He’s busy taking care of his grandma. He won’t be coming tonight.

On the way back to the hotel, Julia sat unusually quiet, clearly lost in thought.

"What’s deepening those wrinkles on your face, Julia?" Justin asked, keeping his eyes on the road as they drove along the nearly empty streets.

"I’m worried about Natalie, and especially about her husband," she replied, worry itched on her face.

"What about him?" Justin asked casually, unaware that something bizarre is going on his old woman’s mind.

"I had some woman-to-woman talk with Natalie and asked her about her husband. Though she said good things about him, I could tell she didn’t really mean it. Her husband might not be as good as she made him out to be."

Justin was taken aback. Though it’s not real, I’m her husband in this whole act. Why would Natalie make my grandma feel that way? As far as I know, I’m the perfect husband she could ever wish for.

Julia continued, "You know, they’ve been married for a few days now, but they haven’t... you know, done it."

"Done what?" Justin asked, genuinely confused.

Screech!

The car came to a sudden halt as Justin accidentally slammed on the brakes, shocked by what he’d just heard. What the hell? Am I not capable of performing marital duties?

"Julia, you’re overthinking things," Justin said, gritting his teeth, trying to stay calm despite the rising frustration. Thant damn woman, is she asking to see how capable I am.
