Chapter 245



Roger was taken aback. “What?”

Justin looked at him.

He hadn’t brought Pete and Nora home yet, so he wasn’t supposed to let Roger know that the two kids looked alike. Otherwise, considering how smart he was, he would quickly realize that Cherry wasn’t Pete.

He would make trouble for Nora when that happened. It would be terrible if he accidentally hurt them both.

However, the moment he thought of that, Justin suddenly remembered that Nora was the Big Sister at Quinn Martial Arts School. In the event that Roger actually sent someone to end Pete’s life, he calculated that he would probably be the one who would end up hurt instead.

In any case, this was still a lot of trouble, and that woman hated trouble the most.

He coughed and refrained from answering.

As for Roger, he seemed to understand something after processing Justin’s words. “Are you saying she’s not going to bring her daughter when she marries you? So, the child will stay with the Andersons? This isn’t a question of one child or money; after all, how much money can one child spend? Justin, the fundamental problem here is that woman? Come on, Grandma, talk to him!”.

Elder Mrs. Hunt frowned. She very much disapproved of this marriage, but still, she could not embarrass Justin in front of Roger. Therefore, she said, “This is Justin’s housekeeping business, why don’t you leave for now?”

Roger nodded and left the room.

When he left, the old woman reached out her finger and poked Justin. “You… Are you really going to marry that woman?”.

Justin let out a sigh. His tone became more intimate and he said, “Grandma it’s still too early to talk about marriage!”.

Mrs. Hunt was surprised. “Huh, what do you mean, I knew you were just fooling around and weren’t serious about her? You’re just going out with her for fun…?”

Justin’s face twitched a little. He was quick to interrupt her and said, “No, it’s because I’m still trying to win her over.”

Elderly Mrs. Hunt, “…”

Justin sighed. “She’s not interested in me.”

“…”

Mrs. Hunt felt as if she had just heard the world’s biggest joke. Utterly astonished, she replied, “Is there really a woman in New York who isn’t interested in you?”

Her grandson was known to have a high IQ and was very outstanding in every way. Add to this his good looks, and daughters from all the wealthy families flocked to him, even though he already had a son.

Over the years, there was no shortage of those who came to her to ask her secretly or openly about their matrimonial affairs, to recommend possible candidates, or even to recommend themselves!

Even the Smiths’ girl… was interested in him.

The Hunts and the Smiths were actually a good match for each other.

It was a pity that the Smiths’ girl was an adopted daughter…. Otherwise, they would have fit together quite well as both young men were extraordinary. Of course, this was all just his own opinions. She had also asked her grandson for his opinion back then, but unfortunately, he was not interested in her.

But now, was there someone who wasn’t interested in her grandson?

Was she playing hard to get, or was she really not interested in him?

Mrs. Hunt immediately dismissed one of the two possibilities as soon as she thought about them. There was no way her grandson wouldn’t notice if she was just playing hard to get.

Nowadays, he was even better at reading people than she was!

This piqued the old woman’s curiosity. “That makes me very curious about that young lady. Bring her home and let me take a look at her sometime.”

Justin nodded. “No problem.”

As Justin left, the old lady had someone come over and instructed, “Someone look into Nora Smith.”

“Yes ma’am.”

The old woman frowned.

While her grandson’s happiness was important, so was the Hunts’ honor!

Even if that woman was terrific, the fact that she had given birth to another man’s daughter would remain her dark pastad, would cause her to be mocked and laughed at for a lifetime.

She was not optimistic about the two.

Therefore, she intended to seek an opportunity to meet Miss Smith and her daughter.

Meanwhile, back at the villa on the outskirts.

Nora was leaning on the couch and nodding off. Next to her, Tanya had already taken Pete upstairs.

In the last few days she had tidied up the three bedrooms upstairs. Apart from the master bedroom, intended for her, she converted one of the bedrooms into a boy’s bedroom and the other into a girl’s bedroom.

She led Pete into the boys’ room and asked, “Do you like it?”

Pete looked at the room, which was entirely decorated in blue. The bed was even Captain America themed. The boy, who was a little speechless, replied, “How childish.”

Tanya curved her lips in disdain, “You’re too precocious for your age boy! How’s your room decorated at the Hunts’?”.

Pete replied, “It’s decorated in shades of black, white and gray, which are classier. I’ll take you there someday…”

At that point he paused.

… Because she suddenly remembered that the tyrant had already changed the decoration of her room to Cherry’s taste!!!!

The whole room was pink!!!!!

The corners of Pete’s lips gave a little twitch. Then, he asked, “Who is this room for?”.

Tanya’s eyes looked a little lost but they were also determined. She replied, “It’s for my son!”.

Pete, “?”

He was taken aback. “You have a son?”

Tanya hesitated for a moment before replying, “It may also be a daughter, so I’ve also prepared a girl’s room. When Cherry comes back, I’ll ask her whether she likes it or not.”

She would definitely find her son!

And once she did, the boy would immediately have his own room!

She wanted to give her son all the motherly love she owed him all these years.

The thought had just formed when her phone rang. When she answered the call, Joel’s voice came from the other end.

“It’s me.”

Tanya’s demeanor turned cold. “Is something wrong Mr. Smith?”

Joel was silent for a while before finally saying, “My daughter wants to learn to dance. I wonder if it would be convenient if Miss Turner-”

“No, it isn’t.”

Tanya hung up without hesitation.

Next to her, Pete was speechless.

Knock, knock.

The sound of someone knocking on the door came suddenly.

Nora, who was sleeping on the couch, was awakened by the noise. She rubbed her eyes and stood up. When she opened the door, Mrs. Landis immediately grabbed her hand and said, “Madam is in a bad mood today, Miss Smith. She seemed to get along with you when she was chatting earlier. Can you spend some time with her and talk?”.

Nora, “?”

She was about to answer when Mrs. Landis let out a sigh. She said, “The lady had an argument with her son. She is having a very hard time. She is evidently afraid that the Young Lord’s son will suffer if she remarries, but she hasn’t been able to say anything to him, which makes him misunderstand her all the time. After the two of them quarreled again today, the lady has been doing nothing in the greenhouse for a whole day, refuses to eat or drink. what should I do?”

Nora, “…”

Without further ado, Mrs. Landis dragged her away and took her next door. Sure enough, she saw Iris sitting dazed in the greenhouse.

Since I’m here, I’ll have a little talk with her, Nora thought.

But what should I talk about?

What a headache…

She entered the greenhouse. She was about to speak when Iris saw her. A smile immediately bloomed on her sorrowful countenance. “You’re here Miss Smith. I have no idea why either, but I feel so happy and find you so nice as soon as I see you. Maybe it’s because you are beautiful.”

Nora, “…”

Iris continued. “We’ve already met for the third time, so that makes us friends, right? But I don’t even know your name, can you tell me what your name is?”
