Settling everything about Aiden, Justin decided to return ho. Before leaving, he watched Aiden through the glass wall of the ICU, his thoughts unknown.
"Twin brother, huh?" Vincent said as he stood next to Justin. "I wonder how Jas Harper missed out on his other son like this, or..."
"If you keep poking your nose where you shouldn’t, I’m sure Dominic Castello will miss out on his one and only son," Justin warned.
Vincent chuckled. "How do you know I’m the only son? I’m sure at least one of my father’s mistresses must have borne siblings for ."
"Then go and look out for them instead of my siblings," Justin said and turned around to leave.
Vincent laughed playfully as he watched Justin leave and said, "When Aiden wakes up, I’ll tell him how sad and worried you were for him."
"Do it if you don’t want to lose that nasty tongue of yours," Justin warned and left.
Vincent stopped smiling and turned to look at Aiden, his expression serious now. ’You better make it out alive. I don’t want my sweetheart to feel sad seeing the one she talked to during her worst ti is already dead. You can die once she ets you. I promise, I’ll gladly bring a huge bouquet of flowers to your grave every year.’

At Justin’s Ho
Mia and Cathy were ready to leave after enjoying a nice breakfast and a little more chatting ti with Natalie.
"Spending girls’ night together after so long was just fun," Cathy said as she hugged Natalie. "I missed so much by staying away from you two."
Mia offered her a bored look. "Yeah, but I’m sure you don’t regret it after earning a huge load of money from your job abroad."
Cathy looked at her. "Well, money makes up for everything for middle-class people like . That being said, there are a few things we need to add to my work contract with your company. For example, a nice car so I can reach the office on ti. I don’t like taking subways, etc."
"Why don’t you ask for a luxury apartnt as well?" Mia said sarcastically.
Cathy grinned. "Oh, I was just getting there..."
"I would rather not hire you," Mia said as she walked towards her car. "You’re too expensive for to hire. I’ll cancel the contract..."
Cathy imdiately hurried after Mia. "Hehe, don’t be so serious. A car will do. About my stay, Natalie has already given permission to stay in her ho."
Mia glared at Natalie. "You’re spoiling this bitch. She only knows how to earn, and when it cos to spending, she’s dead poor."
Natalie smirked. "Let her be. We can’t let her be holess, can we?"
Mia observed the smirk on Natalie’s lips and narrowed her eyes, as if concluding there was sothing on Natalie’s mind. "Alright."
Just then, a black luxury car entered the manor’s gate, catching their attention.
Natalie realized that it was Justin. ’He had gone in the chopper and returned in the car? Will he tell where he went? Should I ask him or wait for him to tell on his own?’
"Seems like our girl’s man is ho," Cathy said. "Finally, I’ll get to see the man she chose. He better be better than Ivan Brown, or I’m gonna spank her nicely till her butt gets all sore and she can’t sit anymore."
"You wouldn’t dare once you see him," Mia comnted.
"I’ll decide that," Cathy said as she watched the driver open the car door and a tall, handso man stepped out.
"Damn!" Cathy mumbled, her eyes widening at the sight of Justin, even though he was still at a distance. She looked at Natalie. "Girl, since when has your taste in n upgraded like this?"
Natalie only smiled lightly. Unlike how Cathy always criticized Ivan, she seed smitten by Justin. Why not? He was the kind of man any woman would fancy.
"I told you," Mia comnted. "Now be ready to be treated like air by that bitter gourd."
"Doesn’t look like a bitter gourd to ," Cathy replied.
Mia sighed. "You’ll know."
Natalie could only smile at her friends’ comnts about Justin, but at this mont, her heart was filled with joy at seeing him.
Justin approached them, his gaze fixed only on Natalie, even though he had noticed the other two won.
Mia was familiar to him, and he had already learned who Cathy was, along with her entire history—from her birth to this date. He had to ensure Natalie was surrounded by good people, and he realized his wife indeed had at least a few good friends.
"You’re back?" Natalie said, smiling at him.
He humd, and she continued, "This is my friend Cathy." Then she added, "Cathy, my husband, Aiden Handrix."
Cathy offered him a polite nod and said, "Glad to et you, brother-in-law."
Mia and Natalie were taken aback by the way she addressed him, but they both knew Cathy was smart enough to read people well.
Justin’s usually cold expression softened slightly at the way Cathy addressed him, and he said, "Glad to et you too."
Mia looked at Natalie in shock. This bitter gourd never replied to politely like this and instead gave cold glares whenever I was close to Natalie. But with Cathy, just calling him ’brother-in-law’ was enough to put her on his good side. Should I call this man an idiot for lting so easily or call my friend super smart for knowing exactly how to lt him?
"Well, then we’re leaving. We won’t disturb sweet ti of a husband and wife," Cathy said with a smile, winking at Natalie before turning to leave.
Natalie watched the car pull away, waving at her friends with a light smile on her lips, showing just how happy she was to have them.
Once they passed through the manor’s gate, Natalie turned to Justin. "Everything alright?"
In response, he humd and held her hand. "Don’t stand here for long," he said, guiding her inside the ho.
Though he must have faced so ergency, his first reaction was to worry about her, which made Natalie smile and she followed him inside obediently.
All the ignorance and indifference she had felt from others all her life, this man was making up for it by giving all his attention to only her.
’I must have saved the country in my past life for to get him in this life.’ She could not help but chuckled at her own thoughts.
