Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 373: Step-By-Step

James and Justin returned to the drawing room after a long time, making the three women wonder what the two had been talking about for almost an hour.

Neither of the men gave anything away as they settled back normally on the sofa.

The three women looked at each other, silently asking who was going to speak up.

Natalie kept quiet—she didn’t dare ask in front of James. Caryn didn’t ask either, not wanting to show any interest in whatever James did, and to her, Justin was not yet relevant.

Julia sighed, realizing she was the only one left. But before she could ask, Justin said, "It’s getting late. We should leave."

"I was about to ask—"

"We can talk once we’re home," Justin said as he stood up. "Are you coming with us or staying here, Julia?"

"I won’t be a third wheel between the newlyweds. I’m coming with you," Julia said as she stood up.

The three left, leaving the two alone.

Caryn finally asked, "What were you talking with him about for so long? Is it about Natalie—"

"We can discuss that in bed," James said as he stood up. "Freshen up and get to bed first."

"Bed?" she shot him a glare.

He hummed, "We need something to talk about while we sleep, since we can’t do anything else yet due to your weak health."

"I don’t approve," she said, turning her wheelchair to go back to her room, warning, "Don’t you dare."

When Caryn was lying in bed, she heard the door unlock and a man stepping inside.
