Chapter 70: I Want Greatgrandkids

"Natalie, can you get my cell phone from my room?" Albert asked.

"G-Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll talk to him right away," Natalie replied, forcing an awkward smile. "I haven’t spoken to him since this morning, so I’ll take this chance...."

"Just admit you’re missing him and can’t wait to talk," Albert teased, grinning. "Go ahead, call him."

Natalie hurried to her bedroom, tossing her bag onto the bed before quickly dialing Justin’s number. The call went through, but he didn’t answer.

Come on, pick up already.

She gritted her teeth as the second time the result was the same.

Alright, let’s just leave him a message. If he misses it, it’s his fault.

She typed him a message and sent while she murmured, Please read this. I don’t care what’s going on with you and your grandma, but I do care about my grandpa.

Justin was busy in work when he noticed his phone ringing. Seeing Natalie’s name flash on the screen, he frowned. Probably dialled me by mistake while trying to call her lover, he thought dismissively.

The phone rang again, but he ignored it and continued working. A short while later, a message notification popped up. Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to check it.

Your grandmother is in my home. Do not return unless you want to be busted.

The phone almost slipped from his hand in shock. Grandma at Natalie’s home? He read the message again, then immediately dialled Natalie’s number.

As soon as she picked up, her voice came through in an angry whisper. "Finally decided to answer?"

Justin thought about apologizing but held back. He was still irritated by what he’d overheard earlier—Natalie and Albert talking about how she still pined for that idiot, Ivan Brown.

"I read the message," he said curtly, refusing to soften his tone. "I won’t be coming home."
