23 Justin Acting As Husband

Natalie and Justin entered the private room, where a nurse had just finished administering medicine to the old man. The nurse smiled and asked, “You look happy today, Mr. Ford.”

“I am. I’m going to meet my grandson–in–law,” Albert replied and noticed the two figures who had just entered the room. The smile on his lips widened. “There she is, my granddaughter.” He then turned his attention to the tall, handsome man standing beside her. His gaze lingered on Justin for a moment before he offered an approving nod. “Good. Very good.”

Justin wasn’t sure how to respond to Albert’s comment, while Natalie felt a wave of relief wash over her–her grandfather seemed pleased with Justin. It reassured her that asking for Justin’s help had been the right decision. It lessened the chances of her grandfather becoming suspicious.

The nurse offered a light smile to the guests and left.

Natalie wrapped her hand around Justin’s arm, taking him by surprise. She could feel the muscles in his arm

tense up under her touch, sensing his reluctance.

Ignoring it, she looked up at him with a sweet smile playing on her lips. “Aiden, let me introduce you to my most favorite person.”

Maintaining his composure despite her fake

sweetness, he simply hummed in acknowledgment and walked ahead with her, allowing her to hold his arm. No other woman ever dare what this one was doing these days and the worse thing, he could not even stop her.

As they reached the bed, Natalie continued, “This is my grandpa, Albert Ford, the one I’ve always told you about.”

Justin offered a respectful nod. “Glad to meet you, Mr. Ford,” he said as he took this chance to free his hand from her hold and moved to place the fruit basket on

the bedside table.

“And Grandpa, this is my husband, Aiden Handrix,” she

added.

Justin brows furrowed to hear this unpleasant thing, but he maintained his calm before turning to face the grandpa after settling the fruit basket.

Albert studied Justin closely. “I’m glad you found time to meet me. Natalie mentioned you’re busy with your newly started business.”

Justin nodded silently, standing in place, his expression calm.

The old man observed the couple, noticing they didn’t stand as close as married couples typically would. Instead, they seemed more like strangers.

“What’s wrong, Grandpa?” Natalie asked, noticing the shift in her grandfather’s expression. He seemed happy to see Justin–what had changed so suddenly?

“Where is your marriage certificate?” Albert asked, his tone strict and his demeanor serious.

Natalie’s heart skipped a beat–she realized she didn’t have it. But before she could respond, Justin reached into his pocket and handed her the document. “In your hurry, you forgot to get it.”

She offered him a smile while her eyes accusing him for why he didn’t give it to her before.

Accepting the certificate, she handed it over to Albert. “Grandpa, here it is. I tend to forget things, but

fortunately Aidan ramomhara avaruthing”

The old man didn’t comment and looked through the marriage certificate with serious expressions. Observing the picture of a man plastered on the document, he looked back at Justin, obviously to compare him with the picture. He let out a sigh of relief, but his gaze was still doubtful.

“You two got married a year and a half ago and didn’t know about it?” Albert asked, his eyes narrowing as he scanned the pair.

Natalie had already prepared for these questions, while

Justin left it to her as she had instructed him to leave

such a part to her.

“Grandpa, we were both not in the right state of mind when we got married and ended up forgetting about it,” she explained.

“Not in the right state of mind?” Albert exclaimed in disbelief, “Were you two drunk or what?”

Natalie felt a wave of relief that her grandfather had unknowingly provided the answer for her. “Y–Yes, Grandpa. We were drunk, and then…we just forgot,” she stammered.

Justin sighed inwardly. This woman might be capable

of many things, but lying convincingly wasn’t one of

them.

The old man clearly wasn’t convinced. He turned to Justin, his gaze now filled with displeasure. “And you, young man, you forgot such an important thing as well?”

“I didn’t,” Justin replied, meeting the old man’s gaze, his deep voice filled with confidence. “I was waiting for Natalie to come back to me on her own. I didn’t realize she had forgotten about our marriage. That’s why, when I heard she was marrying someone else, I had to remind her.”

Natalie looked at him, surprised by his words. His expression was so serious and convincing that even she almost believed it was true. ‘These businessmen are really good at bluffing,‘ she thought.

Albert’s stern expression finally softened. “Alright, I hope you two can put the past behind you and live together happily from now on. Consider that wedding incident a sign to bring you back together.”

Natalie felt as though a huge weight had been lifted from her chest. Her grandfather seemed to believe the

story, and it was all thanks to Justin’s quick thinking. She made a mental note to thank him properly later.

“Why are you two standing?” Albert asked. “Get chairs.”

Natalie quickly got a chair for herself, while Justin remained standing. “I’m fine,” he said.

“Where are you two staying now?” came another troubling question from the old man.

“Grandpa, Aiden isn’t from this city, so for now he’s staying at a hotel,” Natalie replied.

The old man frowned, “You two are staying at a hotel?”

“No, Grandpa, I’m staying with Mia,” Natalie quickly clarified, not realising she had just made the situation more complicated.

Justin shook his head at her idiocy. Lying sure was not her forte. He could see whenever she lied, she would unintentionally touch the tip of her tiny nose.
