Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 25: Natalie’s Husband Is A Random Poor Man

Natalie returned with two coffee mugs in her hands, her heart racing and her mind anxious about what her grandpa and Justin might have been discussing. ’I hope he didn’t expose my lies,’ she thought nervously. ’If he did, he can forget about me helping him find Aiden Handrix. I wouldn’t mind spending my life with an invisible husband—it’s better that way. Having a man in my life seems annoying anyway.’

As she entered the room, she found the two men sitting quietly. Her heart skipped a beat, fearing that something unexpected had happened.

"You’re back?" Albert said, breaking the silence. "Hurry up, don’t keep my grandson-in-law waiting for a simple coffee."

Hearing this, Natalie felt a wave of relief. She forced a light smile and approached Justin, offering him one of the mugs. "Darling, for you."

Ignoring the way she addressed him again, Justin accepted the mug, though he wasn’t used to drinking instant coffee. At the first sip, his brows furrowed slightly, but he drank it anyway.

Natalie sat at the edge of the bed and asked, "Grandpa, what did you two talk about?"

"It’s a secret between us," Albert replied playfully.

"I want to know," she insisted.

The old man chuckled. "I just told your husband that you can be quite the troublemaker and that it’s difficult to keep up with you, so he should brace himself."

"Am I trouble in your eyes, Grandpa?"

"Aren’t you?" he teased.

She awkwardly cleared her throat. "Maybe a little."

He chuckled and gently pinched her tiny nose. "Good that you know. Don’t trouble your husband too much and try to be a good wife."

"I will."
