Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother
Chapter 49
Chapter 49: Drama Queen Natalie
"Did you two have a fight, or is something else going on?" Albert’s expression turned grave, his tone serious.
"Mr. Ford..."
"Grandpa, why are you up so early?" Natalie called out as she quickly emerged from her room, her heart racing.
She had heard the familiar sound of her grandfather’s cane tapping against the floor and was alerted even in her sleep.
The old man turned to look at her, "Why is Aiden sleeping outside?"
Natalie gulped nervously, "G-Grandpa, we happened to fight last night."
Frowned lines appeared on his forehand. "What kind of fight would be so serious that you’d make him sleep out here on that tiny sofa? You two should be acting like any newlyweds—loving each other and forgiving mistakes easily,"
"That... Grandpa... I..."
"Go sit there," Albert instructed, pointing to the spot on the sofa where Justin was sitting.
Natalie obediently sat in the other corner of the sofa, instead of sitting close to Justin. She sat on the edge, her legs tightly clamped together, her hands clasped nervously in her lap, clearly anxious.
Justin noticed it, but didn’t intervene. If it was before he would have done something but after last night how defensive she acted against his presence, he didn’t even want to be close to her. ’She totally deserves that scum Ivan Brown.’
Albert’s frown deepened as he observed how far Natalie had sat from Justin, as if he were a stranger. Her nervous behaviour only added to his concern. He settled into a chair opposite them, his expression serious. "Let’s have a serious talk."
About what, Grandpa?" Natalie asked, her voice shaky, fearing that her lie might be uncovered.
While Justin sat relaxed, his back straight, one leg crossed over the other, ready to see how she would handle the situation.
"Natalie, answer me honestly," Albert said, his gaze piercing.
"Yes, Grandpa?"
