Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 281: Meeting A Mother A month passed peacefully, with various events unfolding during this time. Natalie was recuperating well and remained busy managing her company, which was steadily climbing to success. She was happy with the results.

With Victor and Silvia, both top artists from Natalie's company, being signed to film with NovaFrame, many prominent artists whose contracts were nearing expiration expressed interest in joining Natalie's company.

Justin was occupied with managing his business while also planning his next moves against the Belvorn Royal family. He remained in constant contact with Vincent and Caryn Shaw.

Caryn had regained most of her strength and focused on her treatment, determined to recover quickly and deal with a few brazen offenders.

Aidan had regained consciousness and was recovering well. Though unable to walk due to his injured leg, he was prepared to begin rehabilitation to restore his mobility.

Meanwhile, Justin, Vincent, and Caryn visited him occasionally, and Eric kept him updated on ongoing developments and their strategies against their enemies.

The Fords remained quiet, fully focused on Briena's movie shoot and her career.

Though Briena was unhappy about Victor and Silvia securing roles in the NovaFrmovie after mocking NovaFrame's decision to sign her, she endured it silently, redirecting her attention to her movie shoot, which was progressing satisfactorily.

Finally, the day arrived when the doctor made his last visit to Justin's home. He was pleased with Natalie's recovery.

"Ms. Natalie, I must say, over the past month, you have taken excellent care of yourself, and now you are completely fine. Just make sure to avoid any heavy lifting for a little while longer, and you'll be as good as new." "Thank you so much, doctor," she said happily, relieved that Justin would no longer restrict her movements. After the doctor left, Natalie turned to Justin, who was already looking at her. "Did you hear what the doctor said?" she asked. "Now I'm completely fine. That means you can't stopfrom working anymore, and I'm free to exert myself. You can't keepconfined to this place." Justin stood facing her, his gaze turning slightly intense as he looked into her bright eyes. "I heard it loud and clear. It means we're finally free to have sex. I'm free to exert you as much as I want and keep you confined to this room for as long as I want." Natalie was momentarily speechless as she instinctively took a step back, while Justin stepped forward.

"Justin... weren't you takingsomewhere?" she asked nervously. "You said it was something really important." Justin didn't stop until she felt the bed press against the back of her legs.

"Justin..." Just then, the door burst open, and a young man's panicked voice echoed, "Brother, I have news!" Justin clenched his fists, grabbed a cushion, and hurled it toward the door, where it landed squarely on Sebastian's face.

Sebastian caught the cushion and stood his ground stubbornly. "Don't be like this. It's not the first tI've seen you two kissing, alright? I'm here to deliver simportant news." Justin simply glared at him as he began uncuffing his sleeves, rolling them up to his elbows. His cold gaze never wavered from Sebastian.

Sebastian felt a twinge of nervousness. "Will you hearout first?" "After I teach you a lesson," Justin replied, striding toward the door where Sebastian stood frozen.

"Damn it!" Sebastian cursed under his breath, spun around, and bolted down the hallway. Justin followed with his usual unhurried but relentless strides. "Don't even think about running away." "Not in front of my sister-in-law, at least!" Sebastian yelled back as he disappeared down the stairs.

Natalie, who had been quietly observing the exchange, couldn't help but laugh. Over the past month, she had witnessed this scenamultiple times. At first, she felt bad for Sebastian, but she quickly realized this was just how the two of them were—and it would likely continue forever.

Moreover, this side of Justin made him look more like am normal human.

From downstairs, Natalie could hear Sebastian's tic cries, and she couldn't help but laugh as she imagined the scene unfolding below.

After a while, Justin returned to the room. Natalie asked, "What news did he have?" "It must be something useless. Don't bother with him," Justin replied as he changed his shirt and put on a jacket, clearly preparing to go out.

"Let's go," he said to Natalie, and the two of them headed downstairs.

Meanwhile, Sebastian had returned to the side house where he was staying. He slumped onto the sofa with a frown, mumbling, "Initially, I was going to tell you that Uncle James is in the city, but you didn't let me."

Wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, a smirk crept onto his face. "I'm sure you don't know about it since he's kept it discreet for sreason. Now Wcan't wait to see how you'll handle it when Uncle James finds out his most cherished son is living with a woman like a married couple already. And Evelyn-she'll be here as well. Looks like my days of true entertainment, watching you squirm, are about to begin." Inside the car, Natalie asked once more, "Where are we going?" "You'll know soon," Justin replied, his attention fixed on his laptop as he continued working even during the drive.

Natalie stayed quiet, patiently waiting to see where he was taking her. After about half an hour, the car entered ve the gates of a grand villa. Stepping out of the car, she looked around and wondered, Who does this place belong to? 'Maybe it's one of Justin's family members or a friend who lives here?' Is he going to introduceto them... As his wife? Justin stepped out of the car as well and walked over to Natalie. "Today, you're going to meet your mother." "What?" Natalie exclaimed; her voice filled with shock.

"Yes," Justin replied calmly, unfazed by her reaction.

"Why didn't you tellbefore?" she asked, her expression turning angry. "I would have prepared myself— thought about what to say to her, how to act around her, how to handle this...."
