Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 118: I Plan To Eat You Whole Tonight

"What do you say?" Julia asked again, waiting expectantly.

"G-Grandma, you know I’m married," Natalie stammered, silently praying that Julia wouldn’t push it any further.

"So what? Justin can help you get a divorce from that man, and you can start your life with someone you actually choose," Julia said, glancing at Justin, who sat with a grave expression, seemingly focused on his work. "Justin, what do you think?"

"Whatever she wants," Justin replied calmly, though inside his mind, a storm was raging.

Natalie could clearly sense it—she was going to be in trouble later.

"Grandma, it’s alright," Natalie spoke gently. "Justin has already been helping me a lot. But when it comes to matters related to my husband, I prefer to handle it alone."

She gave Natalie an awkward smile. "Don’t mind me, alright? We old people worry for younger ones more than we should."

Natalie simply nodded, not entirely sure what had just happened.

"Julia, you should get some sleep now. It’s late," Justin instructed, his voice cold and authoritative, signaling to Julia that it was time for her to listen after the near-mistake she had almost made.

"Alright," Julia agreed, standing up from the sofa, and Natalie followed suit.

"I’ll sleep in your room, so Justin can take the guest room," Julia announced. "Last time I checked, there are only two bedrooms, and it wouldn’t be comfortable for a tall man like him to sleep on the sofa while the two of us take the rooms."
