Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 415

Chapter 408: Knot

In the Imperial City.

Aaron had arrived at James Harper’s home to meet Caryn.

Since the day Caryn was brought here, Aaron had wished to meet her, but he didn’t want to be a bother when she was finally with the man she loved. Moreover, he had waited until he could stand perfectly on his own feet, rather than showing himself in a weakened state.

As usual, he had been busy handling company matters along with Eric.

When he reached the place, the security guards mistook him for Justin, as no one there was aware of the existence of Justin’s twin brother.

Caryn was waiting for him, having already been informed about his arrival.

The servant guided him to the drawing room where Caryn was waiting.

Aaron saw the woman sitting on the sofa. She looked far better than she used to. It was partly because her health had greatly improved, but perhaps also because she finally had her true family—her husband and daughter—by her side.

She looked at him as he walked toward her. "How are you, Ms. Shaw?"

Though he was her adopted son, he had never called her ’mother,’ nor had she ever asked him to. Both were always aware of their reality and didn’t deceive themselves by finding comfort in a role that wasn’t truly theirs.

"I should be the one asking you that," she replied, noticing how he was standing normally and walking without any discomfort, as if he had never been injured. "Have a seat."

Aaron noticed that unlike her usual stiff demeanor, she seemed more relaxed, and even her tone was a little softer—unlike the strict and cold tone she always carried.

He sat opposite her on the sofa. There was a brief silence before he said, "Congratulations."

Caryn understood he was referring to her marriage with James. "Thank you."

He smiled lightly and said, "Now I’m free from taking care of you. I believe James Harper knows what to do—it’s not easy to look after you."

She almost glared at him, but it wasn’t serious. "Are you here to mock me?"

A smile widened on his lips. "I wouldn’t dare."

Caryn was well aware of how much she had troubled him. He wasn’t her son, but he had done everything a family would—going so far as to risk his life for her.

"That’s for you," Caryn said, signaling toward the large light brown sealed envelope.

Aaron picked it up and checked the papers inside. He looked back at her. "I don’t need this. It’s yours."
