Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 314

Chapter 313: Call With Julia

Justin and Natalie returned home. As they entered the bedroom, Natalie slumped onto the couch and closed her eyes. Justin sat next to her and spoke.

"Want a shoulder to cry on?"

With her eyes still closed, she sighed. "I’m afraid no tears will come out even if I try. I must have exhausted my quota of crying."

"That’s good then," he said and poured her a glass of water. She accepted it, and Justin observed her. "What are you thinking about?"

She took a few sips of water and shook her head. "Nothing. Just tired. Maybe a shower might help me relax," she said and was already on her feet, heading to the bathroom.

Justin didn’t stop her and watched as the bathroom door closed behind her.

He had received calls from his grandmother but couldn’t answer them while he was with Natalie. Now, finally, he could talk to the old woman. He already knew why she had called him.

The moment he answered, Julia’s anxious voice came through. "Brat, where have you been?"

"Calm down, Julia," Justin replied. "Natalie was with me, and I knew what you would ask. She’s alright, don’t worry."

"I know she would be fine with you by her side, but won’t you ask how your father is?" Julia countered.

Justin fell silent for a moment before asking, "How is he?"

"He’s been inside his study since he saw the news, and I think he’s planning to come to the Imperial City to meet Caryn," Julia said, sounding a little anxious. "I’m not sure what will happen when they meet or how it will affect Natalie."

"You don’t have to worry about Natalie. And as for those two, it’s between two overly adult people. I have no desire to meddle in someone else’s private matters," Justin replied curtly.

"You... You’re just like your father. You two have no emotions at all, especially towards each other," Julia spat out angrily.
