Chapter 701 - Can You Accompany Me Tonight?

Iris was stunned.

Nora asked, “Why?”

Iris’s jaw tensed up.

She clearly knew that Nora was asking why her attitude suddenly changed so much, but she still pretended to not understand. “What why?”

As the two of them were in a stalemate, Cherry’s childish voice was heard. “Grandma? But isn’t Grandma Daddy’s mother? Why does Daddy have two mothers?”

The mistress, Lauren, was stunned for a moment and stood there awkwardly.

Herman said, “Cherry, this is my current wife. You should call her Grandma.”

Cherry tilted her head and stared at him, feeling a little unhappy. “Who are you?”

Herman’s expression froze. He coughed and suppressed the frustration in his heart.

Before returning home, Lauren had already asked around and found out that Justin was a slave to his daughter, so as long as she pleased Cherry, she could obtain Justin’s favor.

Therefore, Herman pretended to explain patiently, “…I’m your father’s father.”

“Daddy’s father is my grandpa, and Daddy’s mother is my grandma-” Cherry pretended to be stupid and sang a children’s song. After she finished, she even smiled at Justin. “Daddy, did I sing well?”

“Very well.”

Justin touched her head, but his gaze swept across the area in front of him. Iris and Nora’s figures tugged at each other in the corner before the two of them went out.

Justin lowered his eyes.

Outside.

“What on earth is wrong?” Nora blocked Iris’s way and asked, “Is there something you can’t

say?”

“No!” Iris looked as cheerful as before. She even smiled gently. “I just don’t like the Hunts.”

Nora frowned. “But when we first met that afternoon, you told me a lot about you and your son. You clearly care about him. I thought that you had thought things through when you came to give birthday presents to the three children.”

Iris frowned and suddenly looked up. “I just want to maintain a good relationship with

you.”

Nora: “?”

Iris revealed her purpose casually. “You know orchids so well. You’ll definitely be able to help me. Therefore, for your sake, I pretended to give my grandchildren some gifts. I don’t like them.”

Nora frowned. Her almond-shaped eyes shone with confusion. “Why?”

“Because…” Iris said word by word, “Herman’s blood flows in their veins! He betrayed me back then, so I hate everything related to him!”

Nora clenched her jaw.

Iris continued to smile as she said, “I used Justin to force Grandpa Hunt to chase him away and successfully stayed at home. It was not because I was noble, but because I wanted to fight with him for the assets! Didn’t he want Hunt Corporation? I snatched it from him! As for Justin… I really can’t get close to him. He looks too similar to Herman. As soon as I get close to him, I remember Herman’s disgusting face. I just want to stay in the villa alone. No one can disturb me.”

Iris turned around and left.

This time, Nora could not stop her.

However, Iris must have her reasons.

The woman who had confided in her for an entire afternoon was not lying. But why?

Nora thought about it and turned back to enter the room. However, the moment she turned her head, she saw Justin standing not far behind her.

The man’s eyes were dark and unclear. Half of his face was in the light under the street lamp, and the other half was in the dark. Under the night sky, the mole at the corner of his eye became colder.

Obviously, he had heard Iris’ words.

When Nora thought about how she and Iris were talking earlier, Iris must have clearly seen Justin’s eyes, but she still said those words. She was clearly doing this on purpose!

She was even more certain that Iris had her reasons.

But what difficulties did she have?

As she was thinking, she saw a hint of loneliness flash across the man’s face. Justin suddenly said, “Nora, even my birth mother doesn’t like me. Do you really like me?”

At this moment, he was like a pitiful worm in the corner forgotten by everyone.

Nora looked at him and her heart softened. She walked to Justin and looked at him seriously. “I really like you.”

Justin seemed to be extremely touched. He reached out and hugged her tightly as he murmured in her ear, “How could that be? Even Mother hates me… What can you like about me?”

This side of Justin was really heartbreaking.

Nora thought about it and hesitated for a long time. In the end, she replied, “You’re good-looking!”

She did not see the corners of Justin’s mouth twitch. “…”

ec

Did he not have any other merits in Nora’s heart?!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As he was thinking, he felt Nora pushing him away. Justin quickly sorted out his emotions and regained his lonely expression.

He seemed to have been hurt by Iris’s words.

He finally grabbed the opportunity to push Nora further. He could not let go so easily. He sighed silently. “Nora, can you stay with me tonight?” Nora: “???”

Justin looked into the distance, his deep eyes filled with sadness. “I have some things I want to tell you.”

Nora was about to reject him when she heard him say, “It’s about me and my mother.”

Nora twitched her lips and finally sighed. “Alright.”

At this moment.

Iris sat in the car and left the Hunts.

When the Hunts’ iron gate was closed, Mrs. Landis couldn’t help but say, “Ms. Iris, why must you do this… It has been so many years. Now that Mr. Hunt has grown up, he’s clearly very powerful. Tell him your difficulties!”

Iris lowered her head. “It’ll be troublesome if I tell him. Forget it. It has been so many years. He didn’t grow up with me. Why should I ask him to grow old with me?”

Mrs. Landis stared at her. “What do you mean by trouble? You’re his mother! You’ve suppressed the longing in your heart for so many years and you didn’t even look at him. You hug your phone every night and repeatedly watch videos of him growing up that the servants at home had sent your husband… You can’t bear to delete those videos, even if your phone is full…”

Iris didn’t say anything.

Mrs. Landis suddenly leaned in front of her. “Miss, if you don’t want to tell Mr. Hunt, then tell me! What happened back then? Why?”
