Chapter 370: Married

Justin and Natalie reached the Imperial City. Once they settled in, the doctor arrived at their villa. Natalie was nervous, not knowing exactly what to expect.

The doctor checked her and took a blood sample for the test.

Natalie asked, "Can’t we do it just through that pregnancy test kit?"

"We can, but sometimes it can show the wrong results, so this one is more reliable," the doctor assured her. "It won’t take long. In just a few hours, we will have the result. I will personally bring the test result."

Natalie hummed, and the doctor left.

Lying in bed, Natalie stared at the ceiling, her hand going to her belly on its own.

"You should rest. You must be tired after traveling," Justin said as he sat by her side. To divert her attention, he informed her, "Your parents are staying nearby."

She looked at him in surprise. "Nearby? Didn’t they go to Bayford to the Harper family home?"

Justin shook his head. "Your father bought one of the villas here. Maybe he wants them to stay near you."

"Well, I am not sure about it," she sighed. "All of a sudden, it’s so awkward to have real parents after living like an orphan all my life. I am not ready for it."

"It will be alright," Justin assured her. "Even after knowing you are his daughter, not even once has he exerted that right and disturbed your life. He will be a good father to you, just like he was to me."

Natalie hummed. "Now that I think about it, I like his way of showing care—not through words, but just through actions, and in a way that he won’t let you realize he is caring for you. I think you are right about him. But I wonder how he can control Caryn Shaw. I can tell she is truly difficult to handle. Also, I wonder how he fell in love with her if she was like this even in the past."

"Maybe he just likes challenges," Justin commented. "Want to go meet them?"

"No."

"Good."

She offered him a questioning gaze.
