Chapter 458: Family Together

Justin and Natalie returned late in the night, so they met the others the next morning.

Julia, excited by the news, went straight to their room as soon as she woke up. Justin opened the door, only to have the old woman push him aside and enter the room.

"Where’s my dear Natalie?" Julia said as she looked at the bed, where Natalie was still sleeping.

"She’s tired from the travel. Let her sleep, Julia," Justin said while buttoning his shirt, having just come out of the bath and getting ready when Julia knocked on the door.

Before Julia could respond, Natalie stirred in her sleep. "Grandma?"

"Are you awake?" Julia asked. "I didn’t mean to disturb your sleep."

"Yeah, and you barging into our room truly helped in not disturbing her sleep," Justin countered, standing in front of the mirror.

Julia and Natalie looked at each other, Julia’s feeling a little guilty.

"It’s alright, Grandma. I’m hungry, so I was going to wake up anyway," Natalie said.

Julia felt delighted to hear it and went to Natalie. "Tell me what you want to eat. I’ll make it personally."

"I don’t plan to keep my wife starving," Justin commented. "You’re not allowed to enter the kitchen, Julia."

Julia glared at him. "When you were a kid, I cooked personally and fed you myself."

"And after that, you felt guilty for making me eat burnt food and let the family chefs take over," Justin countered. "If not for father noticing what I was eating, I would be still eating it for long and suffer in silence."

"You...You seem to have remembered it wrong," Julia looked flustered. "You were just a kid, so your memories are wrong."

"Sure," Justin said. "But my wife and kids won’t starve by eating what you cook. I won’t allow it."

Natalie understood Julia wasn’t good at cooking if Justin said it. She pulled out a light smile and said, "Grandma, you don’t need to trouble yourself. How about we just enjoy eating while Justin cooks for us?"

Julia immediately agreed and said, "But don’t believe what he said. I never fed him burnt food."

Natalie suppressed her smile and said, "Of course, Grandma. I believe you. A perfect lady like you, can there be anything you can’t do?"

Justin was about to say something, but Natalie warned him with her gaze and said, "I’m starving."

Justin simply left the room, ready to cook for his wife.
