Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother
Chapter 462: Strange Man

Chapter 462: Strange Man

"There’s a strange man... thief... in my home... he..." she said and started to cry already.

It shocked everyone. Meira was living in one of the side residences in the estate alone, as she loved it.

Just then Sebastian, who was shirtless and simply in his trousers, reached there. "Brother, there’s some strange girl hiding in my home..." he noticed the girl in Noah’s arms, "Yes, that’s her. She is even bold enough to show herself here."

"She is my sister," Justin said. "Her name is Meira."

"S-Sister?" Sebastian was surprised.

Noah looked down at the girl in his arms and said, "Ms. Meira, he is a family member. Not a stranger."

Meira opened her eyes and looked at the shirtless stranger and immediately looked away again.

Justin picked up Natalie’s shawl that was on the sofa and threw it at Sebastian, "Cover yourself first."

Justin then spoke to Meira, "He is Natalie’s brother, Sebastian. You don’t have to be scared of him."

Meira looked at Justin, "He... came to my home out of nowhere and... he didn’t even wear the clothes."

"Hey, Ms.," Sebastian said annoyingly, "I’m sorry for scaring you, but that home, I was living there. I was gone for a while and you made it yours already. I was simply preparing myself to have a bath in my room. Who told you to come inside my room without even knocking on the door?"

"T-That’s my room," she said.

"Yours?" Sebastian asked. "So you are the one who moved my things away so that I couldn’t find anything other than women’s things."

"Alright, you two," Julia interrupted, "I was the one to give that home to Meira. She liked that home as it has a good view of the mountains and sky and is suitable for her art inspiration. I was the one to ask the servants to move your things to another residence. I just forgot to tell you. It’s my mistake."

"Did you hear it?" Sebastian said, pressing on the next words, "Ms. Meira."

Meira felt apologetic and looked at him, "I am sorry, Mr. Sebastian."

Sebastian opened his mouth just to say something but then noticed her face clearly, which he couldn’t see before. The innocent face looked even more pitiful with the teary eyes and red nose tip.

He sighed and looked at Julia, "You almost scared the little girl."

Julia could only agree to her fault and said, "Go to the residence on the left of Meira’s. Your things are there."

Sebastian nodded and looked at Meira, "I will be back in a while, little girl. I believe we can talk nicely."

Meira could only nod and watch him leave. But then she realized she was still holding on to Noah. She immediately distanced herself from him and said apologetically, "I... am sorry. I was just scared."

Noah looked at her lowered face, no expressions on his face. "It’s alright."

"It’s good everyone is here. We all can have dinner together after a while," Julia said and looked at Noah, "You as well."

Noah agreed.

"I will be back in a while," Meira said with her head lowered. She was embarrassed by the blunder she caused by mistaking Sebastian, and at that, she cried like a child. She had to clean up her face.

Meira left, cursing herself in her mind. ’When will I stop being scared so easily? They must find I am such a nuisance. Why am I like this?’

When Meira was returning to the main residence after freshening up and relaxing her nerves, someone called her, "Little girl."

Meira looked at the young man coming towards her—Sebastian.

"I am sorry for whatever happened," Sebastian said. "I am sure we both were at fault, and not at the same time."

She nodded and said, "I am sorry. I should have talked to you instead of feeling scared and running away."

"Not at all," he said. "If you ever see some shirtless man in your home out of nowhere, you should definitely run away. Who knows if some random pervert trespassed? You won’t always be lucky to have a gentleman like me there. That was the right move."

Meira didn’t know what to say and simply hummed.

"So, you’re new here," he began as they both walked together. "I saw some painting stuff around. Do you paint? What do you study?"

Meira told him about her study course.

"Oh, my thesis guide is a professor from your university as well. I keep coming there once in a while to discuss with the professor," he informed.

"You’re a student?" she asked.

"Just about to finish my last semester of master’s, which just includes one project that I’m working on," he informed. "I also handle some work for the Harper Group," he sighed. "I should say the work that’s being forced on me. Being a son of some business family is such a pain in the ass. When I should be enjoying my life like the rest of my friends, I’m being trained to become the next businessman. No freedom at all."

Meira smiled slightly at his complaints and asked, "Do you want to be a businessman like my brother?"

"I don’t want to, but you can say that. He is the one who gave that idea to my parents," Sebastian said.

While talking, they reached the main residence. Everyone inside the drawing room heard the laughing voice of Sebastian and the soft giggles of Meira.

They all looked at the two. Just a while ago the scene was entirely different and now...

"Sebastian is good at comforting others," Julia said in an affectionate voice and looked at Noah, "What do you think Noah?"

Noah simply hummed.

Julia frowned, ’Getting any good response from him is just impossible.’

Natalie chuckled at Julia’s reaction. Both of them were trying to get something out of Noah, but he was just a dense rock to even react to anyone.

His own wife ran into his arms, hugging him for her life, but the man didn’t even hug her back to comfort her.

"Both of you seems to have solve your misunderstandings," Natalie commented as she looked at the two.

Noah put his hand over Meira’s shoulder to pull her closer, which got her by surprise while Sebastian said. "This little girl and I have decided to be friends. She is new here so I can help her with lots of things."

"My sister doesn’t need your help," Justin said, "and put your hand away."

Sebastian frowned and did as he was told. But then said as he realised something, "You married my sister, even made her pregnant with not but two babies of your but here you don’t even want anyone close to your sister? What a hypocrite!"

Justin didn’t respond while Julia said, "Alright! enough with argument. I have instructed to cook everyone’s favourite food. It will be ready soon."

Everyone had a nice meal. Before leaving, Noah came to Meira. He pulled out one paper from the file and told her, "Ms Meira, you have to sign here."

"What is it?" she asked as she accepted the paper.

"Application form for music class. Once it is submitted, you can attend it from this weekend," he replied. "I have filled it. Just a signature." He offered her pen as well.

Natalie and Julia mumbled to each other.

"They make a cute couple," Natalie said.

"Both of them so calm and composed all the time. Indeed perfect," Julia added.

"What are you two talking about?" Sebastian whispered to them.

Julia pushed him away, "It doesn’t concern you."

Meira signed the and retuned it to him, "Thank you, Mr Noah."

Noah simply accepted the paper from her and told Justin that he was leaving.

"Noah, why don’t you start living here as well?" Julia asked. "You anyways have to come here frequently."

"Thank you for the care, Madam Harper," he said politely, "my residence is closer to office so it’s more convenient."

What could they say when he denied it and could only watch him leave.
