Chapter 243



Mrs. Landis was speechless.

Back then, when Justin suddenly had a son, it provoked an intense reaction from everyone.

When he came, Iris asked, “Who is the child’s mother?”

At that time, Justin’s attitude was very cold. “Does it matter if the child has a mother or not?”

Iris was speechless.

She knew that at that moment, Justin was complaining that as his mother, she always hid outside and never came home. However, he didn’t understand her efforts.

She was protecting him by not coming back.

His attitude toward her had always been very cold. Whenever she came when she was young, she always followed a strict schedule, already agreed upon with the Hunts.

That was also why things had changed a bit over the years. Occasionally he would come to see her, but they had nothing to say to each other, so he would only stay for a little while before leaving.

Maybe it was because he knew how hard it was to raise his son after having him.

At the Hunts’ house.

When Justin got the call from Mrs. Landis, he was a little surprised, especially when he heard that special request to bring Cherry….

He hung up and looked at Cherry, who was playing. He asked, “Cherry, are you willing to come with me to see Grandma?”.

Cherry, “?”

Her big eyes were full of confusion. “Do I still have Grandma?”

With that, she immediately covered her mouth.

It was over.

It had escaped her. Her brother definitely knew she still had a grandmother.

As she thought about this, she saw her father bend down and tell her straight-faced, “Yes, it’s normal that you don’t know her. After all, you’ve only met your grandmother a couple of times.”

Phew… So that’s how it was.

Cherry let out a sigh of relief and rejoiced. “Good!”

She would like her grandmother!

Like her great-grandmother, she would be a very kind old lady. She would give her lots of presents. Recently, Cherry had become a favorite of the Hunt Corporation.

Thinking about this, she said excitedly, “Daddy, I’m going to change my clothes!”.

Justin nodded in agreement.

He still had some work stuff to take care of, so he headed back to the studio.

Cherry went back to her room and changed clothes. The moment she came out, she saw Roger standing in the doorway. He was smiling at her with narrowed eyes. “Pete, are you coming out?”

Cherry nodded. “Yes, I’m going to see Grandma!”

Roger suddenly smiled. “Pete, I remember in the past you didn’t like to talk much, why do you talk so much now?”

Cherry cocked her head to the side and said quietly, “Because I’ve recovered!”

Roger, “…”

Cherry took the opportunity to praise her mom. “My dad’s girlfriend, who is also my mommy, cured my illness!”

Roger narrowed his eyes. “Your mommy?”

“Yes, it’s Nora~ She’s a great doctor!”. Cherry began complimenting her mother without hesitation. “Not only is she beautiful and kind, but she’s also cool and brave~ She’s also very pretty! And most importantly, my father wants to marry her!”

Roger, “…”

He didn’t take that woman seriously. After all, no matter how powerful she was, how powerful could she be growing up in a small place like California?

He just calmly said, “You’re so young, have you ever thought a stepmother would be really mean?”

Cherry, “?”

Roger continued trying to manipulate her. “You’ve heard of the Snow White fairy tale, haven’t you? The stepmother in that fairy tale is a witch. With a stepmother, you’ll become Snow White too. Then you’ll be in trouble.”

Cherry pursed her lips.

Roger: “If your stepmother gives birth to a younger brother with your father, your position as a leader will no longer be necessary. Have you thought about the consequences?”

If Justin were not married, his status on the board would be less stable.

After all, when it comes to measuring a person, one looks at his or her career and family. When Roger found out he had a girlfriend, his first reaction was to stop it.

Even if she couldn’t stop him, the seed of hatred that had been planted in Pete’s heart would continue to slowly germinate in the future.

If there was a conflict between Justin’s wife and Pete, Pete would definitely be unable to take care of himself. Perhaps there would be an oversight in his control of the company and he could take advantage of it.

His imagination was running wild. He even thought that any five year old would be on guard upon hearing this. In fact, the child in front of her was already deep in thought.

Cherry frowned slightly. “Little brother? Should be fun, shouldn’t it? But I’m sure Mom won’t want to have another child.”

Roger was puzzled. He sensed something. “Another one?”

Cherry nodded. “Yes. My mommy has two…one son!”

Roger was even more flabbergasted. “What, your mommy had a child? Who did she have it with? How old is that child? Is it a boy or a girl?”

Cherry said, “She’s a beautiful, cute, witty, adorable little princess. She’s like a flower in everyone’s eyes~”

Roger, “!!!”

It seemed that woman had really cajoled Pete. Otherwise, why else would he praise that little girl like that?

No, he had to tell the Elder Lady!

When he thought of this, it was as if he had found a pillar of support. She went straight to the Old Lady.

Cherry approached Justin. The two of them took a car to go to the villa to see Iris.

As soon as they entered, Iris’s eyes fell on Cherry. Her eyes lit up. “Pete, are you here?”

Cherry looked at her curiously. Her big grape-like eyes were full of curiosity. When she realized that this grandmother was different from her great-grandmother, with no wrinkles on her face, she was instantly excited like a little butterfly. She jumped into Iris’ arms and cried out sweetly, “Grandma!”.

Iris froze.

After being cold for so many years, she suddenly hugged the soft little Cherry. It reminded her of how she had hugged Justin then, and her heart suddenly softened.

The cold expression that had always been on Justin’s face disappeared unconsciously, and his lips curved into a smile. “Yes.”

Justin looked up at her.

Her smile was the same as it had been when he was young. Whenever he came home after school, she had always waited for him kindly at home….

But later, she had kicked his father out and moved out.

Justin looked down.

At that moment, Iris said, “Tina said you have a dodgy girlfriend and you’re thinking of getting married?”

Justin, “?”

He paused and frowned. He was about to speak when Iris suddenly said, “I don’t mind that you have a girlfriend, but if you get married, can you wait another five years?”

Justin’s words suddenly stopped as anger surged in his heart. He asked, “Why?”
