Chapter 59: I Am Julia’s Grandson
’Why does it have to be him, of all people?’ Justin thought as he locked eyes with a shocked Andrew, praying the old man goes with a flow and wouldn’t blurt out his real name. If Andrew called him ’Justin’ now, their lies would be exposed.
If it happened, what was he going to do? Alebrt would be shocked, and Justin didn’t even want to imagine how he would take this deception. More Justin looked at happy Albert, the worse he felt.
Moreover, if they were truly exposed, he won’t be able to stay with Natalie like this and would be back to his boring busy life.
"Andrew?" Albert called out, noticing his friend’s prolonged silence.
Andrew blinked, snapping back to reality. He turned to Albert, who was grinning from ear to ear. "See? You’re speechless, too, aren’t you? Isn’t Aiden impressive?"
Andrew nodded slowly, his eyes darting nervously between Justin and Natalie, who looked just as uneasy as Justin. He couldn’t quite piece together what was going on.
"Aiden, this is my old friend Andrew, the one I mentioned last night," Albert reminded. "He’s the one who suggested that Natalie marry his sister Julia’s grandson."
Justin regretted not paying attention to what Albert was talking about the previous night, and instead focussing on eating the tasty meal Natalie had prepared. Only if he had paid attention to the names and by chance had made Albert say Julia’s name, he would have understood immediately, and they wouldn’t be facing this situation now.
"Now, tell me," Albert continued, nudging his friend playfully, "who’s the better catch—your sister’s grandson or my grandson-in-law?"
