Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 271

Chapter 271: Painful Cries

Mia looked around the drawing room and then turned to Natalie with a teasing smile. "By the way, where is your husband? Just making sure it’s safe to be touchy with you and I won’t end up losing my life."

Natalie gave her a narrowed-eyed look, while Cathy asked curiously, "Is he some possessive, overbearing rich man?"

Mia sighed dramatically. "Ask her."

Cathy raised a brow at Natalie, prompting her to reply, "Ignore her. He’s a good man."

Mia scoffed. "Good man, sure—but he comes with lots of ifs and buts."

Cathy frowned. "So, you finally ended up with such a man? I thought after that idiot Brown, you’d choose someone wiser."

Natalie didn’t bother to explain and instead said, "Make sure you at least get a wise man."

"Definitely. And that man won’t be any rich businessman. I’ve had enough of them while working with them. Plus, both of your experiences with Ivan Brown and that Steve Davis have already taught me a lot," Cathy replied with a deep sigh. "I might marry a thug, but not a businessman."

"A thug?" Mia raised a brow. "Alright, we’ll find one for you."

"I’ll do it myself," Cathy shot back before turning to Natalie, her expression suddenly serious. "Nat, are you truly happy with him?"

Natalie met her gaze sincerely. "I am."

"But didn’t he trick you into this marriage? You didn’t even know you were married. Can you truly trust him?" Cathy asked, her concern evident.

"I can’t tell you exactly how it happened, but just know that he’s the right man for me," Natalie assured.

"As long as you’re happy, that’s what matters," Cathy said, hugging Natalie from the side once more.

"Happy?" Mia chuckled. "Why wouldn’t she be, when these days she’s getting her back broken nicely."

"Huh?" Cathy looked puzzled, prompting Mia to clarify with a mischievous grin, "Don’t be so naive, you idiot. Why would a married woman break her back?"

"Ohhh!" Cathy exclaimed, catching on. She turned to Natalie with a teasing look. "Want me to massage your back?"

"Shut up, you two," Natalie said, pushing them aside as her phone buzzed with a message.
