Chapter 317: A Straight Man

"What the hell is going on?" Rowan mumbled and turned to Morris again. "That rich sugar daddy of hers... Is that Justin?"

"Go and ask him," Morris replied, a smirk on his lips widening.

"Of course I need to ask him. She is married, and he can’t keep a married woman with him like this. It’s totally bad for his image and his future. Where the hell is her husband to leave her here like this?" He stood up and went to the dining table, his expression grave.

"Justin, I need to talk with you." Rowan approached them, not even sparing a glance at Natalie.

Justin looked at him and then back at Natalie, who had just finished drinking water. "Natalie, this is my friend Rowan Lawson," he said before looking back at Rowan. "And this is Natalie, my wife."

Rowan felt like the ground beneath him had vanished entirely, and he was falling into an unending abyss.

"What... did you say...?" Rowan asked in disbelief. "Your wife? Did she divorce her husband to be with you?"

"I am the only husband she has ever had. First and the last one," Justin replied. "Now go back and sit in your place if you don’t want to be kicked out."

Rowan looked at Natalie, who returned his gaze with a calm expression. She was too tired and starving to care about who was there or what they were doing. All she needed was something to fill her growling stomach.

Just then, Sebastian entered the drawing room and strode straight to the dining table. "Oh, I smell tasty food," he said before looking at Natalie. "Sister-in-law, care to share some food with me?"

"Get lost," Justin said before Natalie could even respond.

Sebastian put on a sad expression, but Natalie signaled him to sit and eat anyway.

"Sister-in-law?" Rowan repeated as he looked at Sebastian.

"Yes, my sister-in-law and my brother’s wife," Sebastian answered while already piling food onto his plate.

Rowan, still in shock, returned to his seat and watched as Justin served food to Natalie. Once done, Justin returned to his two friends, leaving Natalie to eat peacefully.
