Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 416: Meira’s Emotions

Outside, Justin was speaking with Lana, giving her some important instructions, while Noah had just returned and stepped out of the car. He pulled out all the shopping bags and walked over to them—just in time to hear Justin say:

"You can take it to Meira," Justin instructed, then resumed his talk with Lana. "You can’t let her step outside this house unless I say so. Not even for a moment."

Noah nodded and headed to Meira’s room. He knocked on the door and entered. Meira, still wearing the beautiful dress, was sitting by the window, looking outside, her expression somber.

"Ms. Meira, these are your clothes," Noah informed her.

Meira looked at him, watching silently as he placed all the bags neatly on the couch.

"Mr. Noah," Meira called softly.

Noah turned toward her. "Yes?"

"Is my brother angry? He didn’t look pleased when he saw me at the shop," she asked quietly.

"It’s not about you. He was just worried," Noah reassured her.

"I didn’t want to go, but... I had no way to refuse her," she said, lowering her gaze, the helplessness in her voice unmistakable.

Noah felt a pang of sympathy for her. "It’s alright. Next time, if you find yourself in that kind of situation, just call your brother. I gave you a cellphone yesterday, didn’t I?"

"Lana taught me how to use it... but I was too nervous to find his number and call. I thought it might bother him—he’s such a busy person," she replied honestly.
