The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 529

After Brandon carry Natalie out of the car, she still felt a bit weak in the knees. But as soon as they got into their villa, they fell upon each other, hugging and kissing passionately again.

The heat enflamed them again, and they landed in a tangle of body parts on the sofa. As Natalie started to unb**ton Brandon’s belt, however, she suddenly noticed how bright the light was in the house. That was odd. She’d clearly remembered that, when they’d come in, they were busy kissing each other and no one bothered to turn on the lights.

She looked over to the other side of the sofa only to find Beal and Johanna standing there.

The blood instantly rushed to her brain, and her mind blanked. Natalie asked in a trembling voice, “Dad, Mom, when did you get back?”

Also surprised by the interruption, Brandon jumped up quickly. The CEO of the Larson Group, usually so dignified and distinguished, had lost all of his cool at that moment.

Natalie quickly fixed her clothes with a blush. She lowered her head as if she had been a child who had just misbehaved.

Despite the fact that they were all adults, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed by her parents intruding on such an intimate moment with her husband.

Johanna coughed pointedly, and, after a few moments, explained, “Your father and I ended our trip to Europe early.”

Beal stared at Brandon. During their trip, they had been paying close attention to what had been going on at home. They had heard about the rumors surrounding Natalie and Draco.

Not that they blamed Natalie. She was still a perfect daughter to them. Even if she had cheated on Brandon, to them, he was the one to blame for what happened, not Natalie.

With a cold look in her eye, Johanna said, “Natalie, let’s have a talk in the other room.”

During the White couple’s trip abroad, Natalie had often called and told them that everything was fine, but Johanna still wanted to ask her daughter face to face to see if Natalie was telling the truth and not just trying to make her mother feel better.

After closing the door behind them, Johanna cut right to the chase. “What happened while your father and I were away? Since Brandon got amnesia, he seems to have changed a great deal. Can your marriage continue as it is?”

Natalie realized that her parents had been swayed by those rumors. The matter between her and Draco had worried them.

She replied in as earnest a tone of voice as she could muster, “Mom, you saw us together just now. Brandon and I are still very much in love. How can you believe those rumors after what you’ve just seen?”

Johanna saw that the two had indeed been all over each other just now, but she was still confused. “So you’re really not sleeping with Draco?”

“The fact of the matter is… This is honestly embarrassing. Someone took some photos of me and Mr. Wesley and then made the whole thing up,” Natalie explained, her voice tinged with discomfort.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Johanna sighed. “Natalie, don’t lie to me. If you don’t love Brandon anymore, you can just get a divorce. The White family will support you. You don’t need to carry on in this marriage for your reputation. You don’t have to f0rce yourself, okay?”

Natalie hadn’t expected Johanna to have been so affected by these rumors. She denied it all adamantly. “The idea of divorce has never even crossed my mind.”

That was when Brandon’s voice came in from the other side of the door.

“It’s all my fault. An enemy of the Larson group spread this rumor, in order to make people think our marriage is falling apart.” Brandon entered the room and looked directly into Natalie’s eyes. They both gazed at each other with the same look of intensity and love. “I believe Natalie with all of my heart, and I also believe that Draco is a decent gentleman.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Listening to Brandon’s words, Johanna said nothing more. She looked over at Beal, standing outside the room, and nagged at him, “Why didn’t you stop him at the door? I wasn’t done speaking to Natalie!”

Beal kept his cool, though, and made his way over to guide Johanna out of the room. “Stop bothering them. Weren’t you just telling me while we were on our trip that you wished you could have a grandchild?”

Just now, he saw that Brandon was looking down with worry in his eyes. This moved Beal deeply. Although Brandon had lost his memory, Beal only had to look at him to tell how much he still loved Natalie.

Moreover, Beal could tell that Brandon and Natalie’s relationship was stronger than it ever had been before, so he decided to let Brandon go over to his wife.

Beal and Johanna smiled knowingly and went downstairs.

At dinner, Beal showed off his impressive skills in the kitchen. Natalie was beside herself with joy. Her father hadn’t cooked one of his delicious meals for her in ages. As they were chatting, Brandon’s amnesia came to Beal’s mind again. He asked his son-in-law, “How is your condition? Have the doctors

said if they think it will get any worse? Your mother-in-law and I met many good doctors in Europe. I could give them a call to check up on you.”

Brandon turned somber at the change of subject, even as he bristled in his seat.

Frank had told him how the pharmacist had tampered with some patients’ medications and caused them to suffer serious repercussions from their illnesses. He experienced no symptoms that might point out to such a scenario, but it remained a possibility nonetheless.

Brandon looked at Natalie’s worried face and mustered a smile. “Don’t bother. Frank already had me checked, and he told me that there are no serious side effects. Except for the memory loss, there should be no problem.”

He spoke in a reassuring tone that brooked no question. Natalie smiled and nodded before turning to Beal. “Don’t worry about us, Dad. I am well-aware of Brandon’s condition. Besides, we’ve already seen a lot of doctors, and the results are all the same.”

Johanna nudged Beal and smiled helplessly. “Your father likes to worry about every little thing. Don’t mind him. But since Brandon is doing better now, you should start trying for a child.”

Perhaps it was because they were getting on in years, but Johanna and Beal were really looking forward to having grandchildren.

Natalie stole a glance at Brandon, her cheeks turning red.

Brandon took her hand with a grin. “You don’t have to worry about that, Mom. We’re certainly doing our best.”

Johanna tittered excitedly, all smug as she told her husband, “See? The master was right. I am going to have a grandchild soon!”

“What master? How would they know about these things?” Natalie asked lightly.

Beal paused his chewing to explain. “We met a fortune-teller when we were in Sri Lanka. He told your mother that she would soon have grandchildren.”

Natalie couldn’t help but chuckle at that.

After dinner, the chauffeur drove Johanna and Beal back to the White family mansion.
