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.

"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?"

"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."
