Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Grandpa-Justin Talk

"G-Grandpa, it’s because I’m joining Mia’s company and have important things to discuss with her, so staying with her was ideal. Also, it’s only been two days since Aiden and I met again so..."

Albert’s voice rose with frustration. "You’ve already been apart for a year and a half despite being married, and even now, I see no affection between you two."

"Grandpa, these things might take a little time since we were separated for so long," she tried to reassure him.

But Albert wasn’t convinced. "Is it because your marriage a year and a half ago was a mistake, and now you’re forcing yourselves to accept it?" he asked pointedly. "If that’s the case, you two can divorce. There’s no need to force yourselves." With that, he picked up his phone. "My friend’s son is a lawyer. Let me contact him."

Natalie’s eyes widened in fear. If this went any further, her lie would be exposed, and her grandfather might suffer another shock. "Grandpa," she said urgently, gently taking the phone from his hand and setting it aside.

"Grandpa, you’re misunderstanding us. We don’t want a divorce. Trust me, we like each other. It’s just that we’re not used to behaving affectionately in front of others." She turned to look at Justin. "My husband isn’t the romantic type at all. Look at him—he’s like a block of ice. He can’t even manage a single sweet expression on his face."

Justin raised an eyebrow at her, his expression clearly asking, ’How dare you?’

But Natalie blatantly ignored his reaction and continued to sell him to cover her mistake. "I’ll have to work a little to teach him how to be romantic instead of being a block of ice."

Albert glanced at the calm and composed Justin, then back at Natalie as she continued, "I’m sure, sooner or later, he’ll come around. The next time you see us, you won’t have any more complaints, Grandpa."

"Does that also mean I’ll get to see my great-grandkids soon?" the old man asked hopefully, a smile spreading across his face.

"Of course, Grandpa," Natalie answered, maintaining her sweet smile. "Once we two get to know each other better."
