Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother - Chapter 317

Chapter 317: A Straight Man Chapter 317: A Straight Man “What the hell is going on?” Rowan mumbled and turned to Morris again.

“That rich sugar daddy of hers€¦ Is that Justin?” “Go and ask him,” Morris replied, a smirk on his lips widening.

“Of course I need to ask him.

She is married, and he can’t keep a married woman with him like this.

It’s totally bad for his image and his future.

Where the hell is her husband to leave her here like this?” He stood up and went to the dining table, his expression grave.

“Justin, I need to talk with you.” Rowan approached them, not even sparing a glance at Natalie.

Justin looked at him and then back at Natalie, who had just finished drinking water.

“Natalie, this is my friend Rowan Lawson,” he said before looking back at Rowan.

“And this is Natalie, my wife.” Rowan felt like the ground beneath him had vanished entirely, and he was falling into an unending abyss.

“What€¦ did you say€¦?” Rowan asked in disbelief.

“Your wife?

Did she divorce her husband to be with you?” “I am the only husband she has ever had.

First and the last one,” Justin replied.

“Now go back and sit in your place if you don’t want to be kicked out.” Rowan looked at Natalie, who returned his gaze with a calm expression.

She was too tired and starving to care about who was there or what they were doing.

All she needed was something to fill her growling stomach.

Just then, Sebastian entered the drawing room and strode straight to the dining table.

“Oh, I smell tasty food,” he said before looking at Natalie.

“Sister-in-law, care to share some food with me?” “Get lost,” Justin said before Natalie could even respond.

Sebastian put on a sad expression, but Natalie signaled him to sit and eat anyway.

“Sister-in-law?” Rowan repeated as he looked at Sebastian.

“Yes, my sister-in-law and my brother’s wife,” Sebastian answered while already piling food onto his plate.

Rowan, still in shock, returned to his seat and watched as Justin served food to Natalie.

Once done, Justin returned to his two friends, leaving Natalie to eat peacefully.

“Justin, you’re not pranking me?” Rowan asked.

“I am not,” Justin replied.

Rowan looked at Morris.

“Why are you not surprised at all?

Did he tell you about this already?” Morris shook his head.

“He didn’t.” “Then how come you’re so calm even after knowing this?” Morris looked at Justin, who was staring back at him as if asking, You already knew?

How?

Morris explained, “Once, Justin called Adam Summers to threaten him when the news was associating Natalie with him, thinking that mystery man from the charity gala was Adam.

When Justin called, I was with Adam in his office.

Our friend Justin regarded her as his woman and asked Adam to get rid of those rumors.” “Even Adam Summers-that aloof bastard-knew about it, and I was the only one kept in the dark like a fool?” Rowan sounded entirely dejected and frustrated.

“Calm down,” Morris said.

Rowan looked at Justin.

“How?

When did you marry her?” “It happened in some way.

You don’t need to know,” Justin replied.

“Now, if you’re done with your theatrics, you can leave.

My wife is awake, and she needs me.” “You’re abandoning your friends now that you got the woman?” Rowan frowned and stood up.

“Let’s go, Morris.” He walked toward the exit.

Morris stood up, glanced at Justin, and said, “See you.” “You allowed him to come here just to let him see the reality,” Justin commented.

“It’s not good to hide things from your best friends for too long,” Morris smirked playfully.

“That was nice entertainment.” “I’ll let him discover your secrets and enjoy the show as well,” Justin countered.

“I have no secrets,” Morris said before glancing toward the dining table.

Natalie had noticed him as well and looked back.

“See you later,” Morris waved at her and left.

Justin sent his friend out, while Natalie and Sebastian enjoyed their food and conversation.

“Sister-in-law, I can tell you his friends are too shocked to see that my brother is married.” “Is it because I am his wife?” Natalie asked.

“I’m always in the news€¦” “Of course not.

They must be shocked-just like I was-to think my brother is even married.

And to a woman,” he repeated, emphasizing the last part.

“A woman.

Hard to digest this fact.

I had stomach pain for days while trying to process and hide this truth.” Natalie gave him a conflicted look.

“Let me tell you a secret,” Sebastian said in a hushed voice.

“We all thought my brother was gay.

That’s why he never dated a single woman or had any woman around him.

And you know what?” “What?” Natalie asked.

Sebastian got overly excited and failed to control his voice.

“We thought my brother was actually into Noah since they were always together!” “What?!” Noah, who was nearby and had overheard, shouted in shock, his voice echoing through the hall.

Natalie and Sebastian turned to look at Noah, whose expression looked like he was pleading for his innocence.

But then, they suddenly felt the temperature drop.

Justin was standing there.

He had heard everything.

His expression was cold, as if he couldn’t wait to strangle the one who had just spouted such nonsense to his wife.

Justin moved toward Sebastian, but the younger man had already jumped from his seat, trying to escape.

“B-Brother, I was just telling her it was a misunderstanding!

And that you are, in fact, straight-very much straight.

The epitome of being straight!” Justin glared at him.

“If I see you here again, you’ll find yourself handling a project in the desert.” “I€¦ am leaving€¦ leaving€¦” Sebastian bolted out of the house to save his own life.

Noah, unsure of what to do, quietly bowed and left.

Justin calmed down and sat in the chair next to Natalie.

Natalie asked, still lost in thought, “Your friends€¦ Should I not have come downstairs?” “It’s your home, and you are free to go anywhere, anytime,” he replied.

“Don’t worry about them.

Sooner or later, they would have found out.” “What did they say?” Natalie asked.

“Rowan was shocked, while Morris was already aware of it,” Justin replied.

“Now stop thinking and focus on eating.

You need to regain your stamina€¦” “Don’t even think about it,” she interrupted, stuffing food into her mouth.

He pressed her forehead with his forefinger.

“What exactly is this naughty brain of yours even thinking?

I was talking about you going to Belvorn.

You have to be fit and fine.” Realizing she had misunderstood, she remained quiet.

“But if you want€¦” “I want nothing,” she exclaimed.

“Let me eat quietly.” Justin chuckled softly and sat there, watching her eat to her heart’s content.
