Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 56: Sleeping Together

At the dinner table, Albert was pleased to see Natalie and Justin looked happy together.

"Grandpa, who were you talking to on the phone for like almost an hour?" Natalie asked, feeling curious as Albert looked cheerful.

"Do you remember my friend, Andrew?" Albert asked.

"Yes, Grandpa? How is he?"

"He’s doing well, but he was a bit sad to hear that you’re really married," Albert added with a chuckle.

Natalie raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Huh? Why?"

Albert explained, "A while back, he had brought up a marriage proposal for you with his sister’s grandson. But you were already involved with Ivan, so I had to turn it down. After that wedding incident, he thought maybe you didn’t really want to marry Ivan and that’s why you created the fake marriage certificate. He figured his sister’s grandson still had a chance. But now... well, you’re already married."

Natalie laughed, shaking her head in amusement. "Your friend is quite strange, Grandpa. Considering my ’terrible’ reputation, anyone would keep their sons and grandsons far away from me. I hope his sister won’t strangle him when she finds out for which girl he was offering her grandson."

"He doesn’t care what the world thinks. He knows how you truly are just like I do," Albert’s tone was serious. "Anyways, he told me his sister is coming to the city and he would bring me to meet her. I had met her long back when we were young and I don’t even remember her now."

"Well, that’s great. You’ll get more friends," Natalie said, smiling as she added more food to Albert’s plate.
