"What do you say?" Julia asked again, waiting expectantly.
"G-Grandma, you know I'm married," Natalie stammered, silently praying that Julia wouldn't push it any further.
"So what? Justin can help you get a divorce from that man, and you can start your life with someone you actually choose," Julia said, glancing at Justin, who sat with a grave expression, seemingly focused on his work. "Justin, what do you think?"
"Whatever she wants," Justin replied calmly, though inside his mind, a storm was raging.
Natalie could clearly sense it—she was going to be in trouble later.
"Grandma, it's alright," Natalie spoke gently. "Justin has already been helping me a lot. But when it comes to matters related to my husband, I prefer to handle it alone."
Handle it alone? Justin's mind swirling with unspoken thoughts. You won't even get a chance to see him to handle anything. All you have to do is focus on me.
