Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 241: Bloody Bitter Gourd

"Shut up," Natalie replied, closing her eyes. She felt like she had exhausted all her energy and needed to rest now.

"Couldn’t you two control yourselves at least before the event day?" Mia asked with a sly grin.

Natalie kept her eyes closed and replied in a tired tone, "It’s not what you think."

"What could be another reason for a married woman to break her back so badly unless it’s her husband being overly energetic?" Mia teased again, while Ella smiled lightly.

"Are you asking for a beating, Mia?" Natalie frowned, her eyes still closed, her brows furrowing. "Let me rest a little."

There was no reply from Mia, and suddenly, everything went dead silent.

"Are you scared already? So easily?" Natalie asked, her tone still tired.

Not getting a reply from Mia, she opened her sleepy eyes to look at her friend, only to find someone standing in front of her.

"Justin," she mumbled, a light smile forming on her tired-looking face. Her eyes were half-closed, as if the person in front of her was not real but a dream.

The moment Justin arrived, Mia and the others had already stepped away. Only Mia knew he was the Justin Harper, while the others—Ella, Dan, and Nora—only knew him as Natalie’s husband.

"You look tired," Justin said in a soft but strict tone. "Did you not follow what I said?"

In response, Natalie raised both her hands in his direction like a little girl. "I am tired. Carry me."

It shocked everyone, as it was unlike anything they could imagine Natalie doing.

Either she is drunk or she’s dreaming, everyone thought. There’s no way she can ever act this way, at least not in front of others.
