Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 455: A Second Chance

The next morning, Serena was still sleeping, with no signs of waking up anytime soon.

Meanwhile, Natalie had shared the good news with Marina and, of course, Aaron, who was not surprised to hear it but was happy that he was going to be an uncle.

Marina had no way of containing her happiness, as if all of a sudden all the gloominess in her life was gone and everything looked merry.

"I can’t tell you how happy I am," she hugged Natalie and Justin, and then looked at Aaron, "What about you? What are you going to do with your meaningless marriage now that it’s all over?"

"I will take care of it," Aaron assured.

"Do it quickly. I want you to marry a good woman soon and give me another piece of such good news," Marina insisted. "I want to see at least half a dozen grandkids before I die."

"Do you take our wives as breeding goats?" Justin asked and declared, "This is the first and last pregnancy for Natalie. I don’t care if it’s just a single child or there are more. I can’t let her suffer for our greed of having kids around."

"Women are strong, and they are meant to bear the pain of childbirth," Marina countered.

"She can experience another kind of pain with me... Ummm..." His mouth was shut even before Justin could say something truly bold, and she warned him, "Keep quiet." Her face flushed as she knew what he was going to say.

This shameless man.

Marina couldn’t help but laugh while Aaron smiled. The air in the home felt playful.

"Is she expecting a child?" a familiar voice came through.

They looked at the old man standing at the door.
