Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 354: Not Jealous, But A Considerate Wife

Late at night, Natalie was in a deep sleep. All of a sudden, she felt a comforting and familiar warmth next to her. Instinctively, she turned to her side and buried her face against the firm chest of a man, her hand wrapping around his waist.

"You’re back?" she mumbled in her sleepy voice.

He wrapped his arms around her and hummed softly.

"I missed you," she whispered, snuggling closer to him in comfort.

"I missed you as well," he murmured, inhaling the sweet scent lingering in her freshly washed hair. "Happy second marriage anniversary."

She moved her head back and looked up at him with sleepy eyes. "Happy wedding anniversary."

He gently caressed her hair as he gazed at her lovingly. "I know this shouldn’t be the way—since we didn’t even realize we were married. But soon, I’ll make sure to give you a beautiful and proper wedding."

She hummed in response. "Not a big one—just with people close to us."

"However you like it," he agreed warmly.

She smiled softly and said, "I have a gift for you... for us."

He raised a brow. "A gift?"

"Let me get it," she said, sitting up. She turned on the bedside lamp and pulled out a small, beautifully wrapped box from the drawer.

Facing him, she opened the box and held it out to him. "I bought these a while ago, but it seems like today is the perfect day."

Justin looked at the pair of rings nestled inside as he listened to her words.

"I don’t want you walking around without a ring," she said, her voice turning playful. "Wherever you go, I see women lusting after you. Wearing a ring will save you the trouble of dealing with annoying women."
