Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 301: How Did She Get Married?

When she was finally tired of crying and had calmed down, Justin offered her the water bottle he had brought. Natalie took a few sips, trying to steady her mind as she sat in silence, lost in memories of the past.

"I used to come here with my mother when I was a kid," she said at last. "This is the only place that hasn’t changed—neither in its view nor in the way it makes me feel. After she left me, I would always come here whenever I was hurt, felt like I had nowhere to go, or thought no one could understand me. This place has always been my comfort."

"It is indeed comforting," Justin replied, gazing at the sky. "But I want you to know that this doesn’t have to be the only place where you find comfort or feel less lonely. I’m here to take care of you when you’re hurt. I’ll be the one you can always come to, the one who will always try to understand you. I can be your comfort. And I’ll never let you feel lonely. Just like this place, I won’t ever change—I’ll always remain the same for you. I give you my word."

Natalie looked at him, and he met her gaze. "I mean it, Natalie."

Not knowing what to say, she stared at him for a while as if grappling her thoughts and finally said, "I warn you, my limits of handling betrayal and heartbreak is entirely over."

"I’ll keep that in mind," he replied, removing his coat and draping it over her shoulders. "The air is getting cold."

Natalie didn’t refuse. They sat there for a long time, letting the peace of the place surround them.

"Don’t you have work to do?" she asked, still looking ahead.

"I’m doing the most important work right now," he replied, following her gaze toward the horizon.

A light smile finally appeared on her lips. "Am I a ’work’ for you?"

"You’re everything to me," he answered smoothly.

Natalie didn’t know how to respond to his words. She stayed quiet, her smile lingering. No one had ever made her feel this special and important the way Justin always did and that too in the most simple way.
