Chapter 443: The Last Blow

Back at the Riverdale estate.

Justin and Natalie went to their room, while Grace quietly went to hers—though sulking and unwilling. She was nothing but a pawn in his hands, used against her own father.

Lying in bed, Natalie couldn’t help but ask, "Will she be alright? She’s so young, and you had to marry her off to Noah."

"That was the only way to free her from that old man’s grasp," Justin replied. "Noah is the only man she trusted, so it was a safe choice to send her away with him."

"She’s still so innocent and doesn’t understand things. Girls her age should be studying."

"She will do that as well," he assured.

Natalie said, "And Noah—he simply followed your orders and married her without any questions. Wouldn’t it be unfair to bind him like this?"

"I left it up to Noah to decide what they want to do. I’m sure he’ll handle it the right way."

"He looked protective toward her. Do you think he likes her?"

"He’s always been entirely dedicated to his duties, and at that time, his duty was to protect her," Justin said. "Don’t misjudge his actions as something else."

"But would you be happy if they got together?" she asked.

"That’s not for me to concern myself with. They can do whatever they want," Justin replied.

"You’re so cold and dismissive," she commented.

"Other people’s lives are theirs to take care of—not mine," he said as he held her closer. "You always have something to talk about when it comes to others. What about us?"

"About us? Do you even let me talk?" she asked in a complaining tone. "You always keep me busy with something else."
