Chapter 248



.

The two asked in unison, “Nora, don’t you have a relationship with Mr. Hunt?”.

As the saying goes, hitting is a sign of affection, and cursing is a sign of love.

How could they not be in a relationship?!

Nora: “…”

She rubbed her forehead in pain, how was she going to explain this?

Melissa’s eyes widened, and she stammered, “Nora…. Nora, is that how you usually talk to Mr. Hunt?”

That was Mr. Hunt!

Not even Simon dared to scold Mr. Hunt like that.

However…

Melissa swallowed hard.

For some reason, Nora’s face felt a little hot when her aunt and grandmother looked at her like that. She coughed and said suddenly, “Aunt, Mr. Hunt and I don’t really have a relationship. We just…”

However, she couldn’t say anything.

Just when she felt conflicted and wanted to use a word to accurately express their relationship, Melissa smiled. “I get it, I get it! Nora, you don’t have to explain yourself!”

Nora, “?”

She hesitated. “You understand?”

“Yes!” Melissa smiled. “All right, stop talking. I’m not going to force you. After all, you are young and thin-skinned.”

Nora: “?”

Is she thin-skinned, have you had some misunderstanding with her!

She moved her lips and heard Mrs. Anderson say excitedly, “Melissa, come upstairs with me later and see how many jewels I have left. I want to prepare a dowry for Nora.”

Melissa nodded. “Very well, I’ll prepare some too!”

She sat up straight and smiled. “I’ve raised two children, but I haven’t prepared a wedding yet. We’re getting our daughters married. Mom has to teach me what to prepare.”

Mrs. Anderson smiled, “Sure. Back then we didn’t accompany the older sister to get married, but the second sister was getting married at home. I still remember those customs! The rules here are really big!”

Nora, “!”

Did they get it?

The corners of her lips twitched. “Grandma, it’s not necessary. Auntie, you don’t have to…”

As soon as she said this, the two excited people immediately looked at her.

After a while, Mrs. Anderson lowered her shoulders. “That’s right. After I married the Andersons, they didn’t think much of my jewelry. Gosh, they’re old now, no new designs.”

Melissa nodded as well. “Yes, the Hunts have assets in the hundreds of billions of dollars. We Andersons can’t afford even a few hundred million dollars now. Nora, it’s because we’re not capable enough…”

Nora, “…”

She waved her hand. “That’s not what I meant. I…”

Melissa held up her hand. “I know our stuff is just a drop in the ocean for the Hunts, but these are all our intentions! Besides, we’ve transferred 35% of the shares of Harmonia Pharmacy to you! Sign the contract when you can and it will go into effect!”

Nora, “!!!”

She was about to say something when Mrs. Anderson suddenly sighed deeply. “Justin’s not bad, but the Hunts’ life isn’t easy at all!”

Melissa looked at her. “Mom, what’s wrong, why are you saying this all of a sudden?”

Mrs. Anderson frowned. “The Hunts are very big and have a lot of business. They also have a lot of competitors. Geez.”

She looked at Nora. “Nora, the second branch of the Hunts is always causing trouble, but they don’t really have much power. Justin can crush them with one finger. Being able to marry him may seem glorious, but you know…. Back then, Justin’s mother seemed glorious too, but in the end, she got kicked out of the house.”

Melissa frowned. “Speaking of which, Justin can repress the rest of the Hunts, but he can’t repress his mother. I hear his mother has a very strange personality. With a mother-in-law like that, what should we do about her personality?”

Although Nora seemed unconcerned, this was only in front of them.

Melissa knew this niece of hers. She was sharp-tongued when it came to bad intentions.

She was very afraid that, after Nora married Justin, she would have a conflict with her mother-in-law and hit her directly….

As she thought all this over, Mrs. Anderson sighed. “Actually, there is something important.”

Melissa was stunned. “What?”

Mrs. Anderson looked at Nora. “After marrying Justin, do you still want to have a child?”

Melissa immediately understood something and looked at Nora.

Nora: “…”

Meeting their gazes, she slowly replied, “No.”

Her body looked strong, but she was very weak inside.

Back then, he had lost a lot of blood and had barely escaped death. His foundation had been damaged for a long time.

Sleeping for a long time was a sign of her body’s deficiency. Having another child? Wouldn’t that kill her?

However, Mrs. Anderson’s thoughts had been diverted. “If you don’t give birth everything will be fine. Then there won’t be much conflict. But if you give birth to another child, then Master Hunt will become your enemy!”

Melissa nodded. “Come to think of it, Mr. Hunt is actually not a good person. Gee, Nora, since you don’t want a child, you should tell us your plan when you go to the Hunts.”

The minds of wealthy families tended to be more conservative. The position of the boys was higher than that of the girls, and the heir was always a boy.

They were both worried that Mr. Hunt would have other thoughts if Nora had another child.

But if he did not have this thought, all would be well.

Nora twitched her lips and stood up. “Auntie, help me turn them away. I’m not going.”

She didn’t want to cause any trouble.

Melissa still wanted to say something, but Mrs. Anderson nodded. “Yes, we’re not going! Why should we go just because the Hunts asked us to? This is ridiculous, how can they just call a girl?”.

Melissa thought about what she had said and it seemed to make sense to her. She nodded her head.

Nora saw the two of them finally stop talking and went to the dining room for breakfast.

When she left, Mrs. Anderson looked at Melissa. “Melissa, I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you to take a trip.”

Melissa nodded. “Mom, I understand!”

Since the two families were discussing marriage, why would they call the young woman directly? It should definitely be the parents of the two families sitting down for a chat.

She stood up. “I’ll call Mrs. Hunt right away.”

She went upstairs and returned Mrs. Hunt’s call. She smiled and said, “Unfortunately Nora is sick. She’s afraid she’ll give you the disease. How about this? I’ll go see her.”

When Mrs. Hunt heard this, she understood what he meant and immediately made another request. “I remember Miss Smith’s daughter’s name is Cherry. Can you bring her in? Let Cherry and Pete get to know each other better.”

Melissa understood what Mrs. Hunt meant. She wanted to meet Cherry. She was sure that Cherry would be liked by everyone. So, she smiled and said, “No problem!”
