Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 23: Justin Acting As Husband

Natalie and Justin entered the private room, where a nurse had just finished administering medicine to the old man. The nurse smiled and asked, "You look happy today, Mr. Ford."

"I am. I’m going to meet my grandson-in-law," Albert replied and noticed the two figures who had just entered the room. The smile on his lips widened. "There she is, my granddaughter." He then turned his attention to the tall, handsome man standing beside her. His gaze lingered on Justin for a moment before he offered an approving nod. "Good. Very good."

Justin wasn’t sure how to respond to Albert’s comment, while Natalie felt a wave of relief wash over her—her grandfather seemed pleased with Justin. It reassured her that asking for Justin’s help had been the right decision. It lessened the chances of her grandfather becoming suspicious.

The nurse offered a light smile to the guests and left.

Natalie wrapped her hand around Justin’s arm, taking him by surprise. She could feel the muscles in his arm tense up under her touch, sensing his reluctance.

Ignoring it, she looked up at him with a sweet smile playing on her lips. "Aiden, let me introduce you to my most favorite person."

Maintaining his composure despite her fake sweetness, he simply hummed in acknowledgment and walked ahead with her, allowing her to hold his arm. No other woman ever dare what this one was doing these days and the worse thing, he could not even stop her.

As they reached the bed, Natalie continued, "This is my grandpa, Albert Ford, the one I’ve always told you about."

Justin offered a respectful nod. "Glad to meet you, Mr. Ford," he said as he took this chance to free his hand from her hold and moved to place the fruit basket on the bedside table.

"And Grandpa, this is my husband, Aiden Handrix," she added.

Justin brows furrowed to hear this unpleasant thing, but he maintained his calm before turning to face the grandpa after settling the fruit basket.
