Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 334: He Is My Adopted Son

The next morning, Natalie was ready to leave for the palace, as the queen had invited her for breakfast. The moment she stepped out of the hotel, the same car from the previous night stopped in front of her—the car that belonged to James Harper.

James’ assistant, Lucas, stepped out of the car and said, "Ms. Natalie, you are going to the palace with Mr. Harper."

Natalie was surprised to hear this. Once again, James Harper was here for her.

"Mr. Harper is going to visit the queen as well," Lucas added, noticing her surprise.

Natalie nodded and sat in the car as Lucas opened the door for her.

James Harper was already sitting inside.

"Good morning, Mr. Harper," she greeted him after making herself comfortable.

James hummed in response and continued looking through the file he was holding.

Natalie didn’t disturb him, instead preferring to look out the window and observe the city in the daylight.

After a while, she heard James Harper ask, "What’s your plan after this?"

Natalie turned to look at him and asked, "About what exactly?"

"Your plans with Justin. Have you two decided on something other than just living together?" James asked.

Natalie wondered if she should tell James that they were already married, but then, James Harper hadn’t asked her who her rumored husband was. Or had he already guessed? But if he had, wouldn’t he question why his son, if married, hadn’t told his own father? How and why had it all happened? Didn’t this man have any questions?

"Justin and I are going to be together as a family," Natalie said. "To be frank, we are very much in love with each other."
