Chapter 27: Her Scent Affecting Justin

Justin received the call. Seeing the name Mr. Ford flashing on the screen, he raised his hand to signal Noah to keep quiet and answered.

"Mr. Ford," Justin spoke calmly.

"Aiden, I hope I’m not catching you at a bad time," Albert’s voice came through, sounding slightly concerned.

"I’m not busy," Justin replied, his tone polite but lacking any warmth that might suggest familiarity.

"Is Natalie with you?"

"She’s not."

"Oh! Have you seen the news about Natalie?"

"I have," Justin confirmed.

"Don’t take that news too seriously, alright? It was just a simple argument between sisters. Natalie isn’t the kind of person they’re making her out to be. Don’t misunderstand her, okay?"

"I won’t. Rest assured," Justin replied, his voice steady.

Albert let out a sigh of relief. "Good. Don’t let her go out for a day. Call her back and stay by her side. Trouble seems to find its way to her, but I believe you can protect her. Am I right?"

"Yes. I’ll get her back," Justin assured him.

"Good. Once I’m feeling a bit better, I’ll personally visit the two of you at your home."
