Chapter 1026 Let Bygones Be Bygones
Right after those words fell from Samuel’s lips, Justin felt like he had just heard his best friend profess his love for
his wife again.
“Natalie is truly an impressive woman! She’s not lesser than any men,” he praised from the bottom of his heart.
“Compared to her, I realized my life had been running too smoothly. The talents and capabilities I’m so proud of are
nothing compared to hers!”
Justin’s words were sincere, so he did not expect Samuel to tease him about it.
With joy brimming in his eyes, Samuel inclined his head in agreement. “Those are hard facts.”
Justin could not come up with a quip.
While Samuel and Justin were happily chatting away in the living room, Steven walked into the room under Emma’s

The second he saw his brother, he strode over to the latter.
Worried that Steven would get too impulsive and punch Samuel, Justin shot to his feet and stood between the
brothers.
With one arm placed before Steven’s chest, he exclaimed, “Steven, calm down! Things are not what you think they
were. Everything was a misunderstanding. Calm down first. We can talk it out slowly—”
Steven’s brows were furrowed as he demanded, “Justin, move out of the way!”
“I won’t!” With a determined look, Justin insisted, “Steven, your brother isn’t who you think he is! He didn’t let
anyone down!”
Steven shot a deep look at Samuel, who was behind Justin, and spoke. “Justin, you don’t have to explain anything. I
got it! I misunderstood him before, but there aren’t any more misunderstandings now. I know about everything.”
Justin was taken aback by the revelation and stared at him with disbelief written all over his face.
Even Samuel narrowed his eyes at Steven. He, too, was unaware that Steven had already found out about the
truth.
Justin questioned dubiously, “Did you say that you know about everything? Who told you? What else did that person
tell you?”
Just as Steven was about to explain everything to him patiently, a woman wearing a white nightgown ambled down
the stairs. Although the cotton nightgown was plain without excessive decorations, it perfectly outlined her
voluptuous figure.
Under their gazes, Natalie took her time to walk toward them.
“Justin, I was the one who told Steven.”
As the missing puzzle clicked into place, Justin caught on belatedly and nodded with a dazed expression.
Meanwhile, Samuel’s gaze swept across her exposed legs underneath the hem of her nightgown. They were long
and fair and gleamed under the natural lighting. They were so beautiful that they hurt his eyes, yet he found it
impossible to look away.
Natalie wanted to greet Steven, but Samuel had already grabbed her wrist, stopping her from taking another step
forward.
“What’s wrong?”
The man then took a blanket from the couch and wrapped it over her waist, covering her legs.
“Uh…” Natalie felt a little awkward and mumbled, “It’s just a slightly shorter nightgown. You don’t have to go to this
extent.”

Women? Women!
Steven and Justin immediately fell silent and averted their gazes.
After Samuel was done putting the blanket around Natalie, Justin lamented, “I thought I would be here to talk
business, yet all I did was watch a romance movie, and it doesn’t seem like it’s stopping anytime soon!”
Natalie’s hearing was sharp enough to hear his remark. “Justin, if you’re not happy about it, feel free to find a
girlfriend and act lovey-dovey in front of us,” she teased immediately.
Justin shook his head. “No! Please don’t! I’m perfectly happy with being single. I absolutely do not want to fall in
love.”
At that, she stopped teasing him, putting her hand over her mouth to cover her smile. Those words mean nothing. I
used to declare I would cut off love from my life in the past, but look where I ended up. In the end, Samuel’s
gentleness has me completely ensnared.
Still, she did not forget about the earlier topic. Smiling, she said to Samuel, “By the way, I secretly told Steven about
it. Since I already knew the truth, I figured I didn’t have to hide it from him. You two should let bygones be
bygones.”
