The first to enter was the butler.
He looked a little surprised, but still held on. When he saw Mrs. Hunt, he bowed. âMadam, Miss Melissa is here.â
Only then did he step aside and reveal the person behind him.
Melissa was wearing a familiar casual outfit. She didnât look like she was particularly dressed up. However, her clothes were proper and elegant. She was also smiling, but her smile was appropriate and did not appear flattering. It was poised and composed.
When Mrs. Hunt saw her, she nodded secretly.
At least in this outfit, she was not one to curry favor with the Hunts, and she would not be hated.
She looked at Melissa and behind her. After a while, she asked in surprise, âWhere is the girl?â.
As she said this, Melissa revealed an expression of discomfort.
She looked at the butler and felt a little uncomfortable thinking about the previous situation.
Just now, as Melissa looked at Pete, she noticed that he was hugging his head and burying it in the sofa in the back seat. After she spoke, he said directly with sadness, âAuntie, my⦠my stomach hurts. I want to go homeâ¦â.
Melissa was surprised and was quick to ask, âWhere does your stomach hurt? Why do you feel sick? Cherry, let me take a look.â
âI donât want to,â Pete said firmly. âI want to go home and find Mom. Mom is a doctor. She can treat all illnesses.â
Melissa was anxious. âThen Iâll walk you back.â
No matter how important it was, it wasnât as important as the little girl.
Just as she finished speaking, however, she saw Pete look up from inside the car. He blinked and said quietly to her, âIâm fine. Itâs just that this butler guy looks too scary. I donât want to get out of the car. I want to go home and find mom.â
Melissa: ââ¦â
The butler, who had taken the blame for no reason: ââ¦â
The butler touched his face. If he hadnât had a reputation for always being polite and gentlemanly, he would have felt like a monster!
Look how frightened the girl was!
Melissa was helpless too. She tried again to coax Pete out of the car. âCherry, Mr. Butler is very nice. If you get out of the car, heâll take you to play with toys and eat yummy things, okay?â
Pete shook his head like a rattle drum. âNo, I donât want to. I want to go home and find Mommy.â
Melissa: âCherry, youâre being rude~â
Pete replied earnestly, âIâm a child. Iâm not reasonable!â
Melissa: ââ¦â
Pete said, âBesides, bringing me over like this is embarrassing. Youâd better let me go home with mom.â
Melissa: ââ¦â
She had been talked into it!
In the end, she could only get out of the car and get the chauffeur to send Cherry home first. The chauffeur would pick her up later.
At Mrs. Huntâs question, Melissa could only explain, âThe child is very clingy to her mother. She didnât see her mother and wanted to go home. I had the chauffeur send her back first. Mrs. Hunt, how have you been lately?â
She wanted to see her mother?
Mrs. Hunt looked at the butler and saw him nod.
She thought of Nora with more contempt.
Indeed, she had grown up in a small place and it was unreasonable. Her daughter was like that too. She had already come to the door and had gone out again.
As he thought this, he revealed some impatience on the surface.
He pointed to the chair beside him. âSit down first.â
Melissaâs body stiffened.
Her condescending attitude was evident, plus even though she was experienced and disguised her expression, it still revealed a bit of impatience. This made Melissa feel very uncomfortable.
After sitting down, Mrs. Hunt smiled and said, âYou canât spoil a child too much.â
Melissa looked down. Even though Cherry had lost her composure today, she was still protective of her own family. She smiled, âYouâre right. However, Cherry is a delicate girl. Arenât all wealthy families raising their daughters like treasures? In our family itâs always been that way. Our daughters are all treasures. The boys, on the other hand, are tougher.â
In other words, âOur daughters are stubborn! Nora is also very stubborn.â
Melissa felt she couldnât lower her stance and blindly give in. She had to tell Mrs. Hunt that Nora had also been spoiled by the Andersons from a young age!
Mrs. Hunt understood and smiled, âIsnât that how wealthy families raise their children? But why did I hear that Nora was raised in California?â
Melissa smiled. âYes, my older sister married in California around that time and set up a business there. However, itâs harder to raise children there. Noraâs good skin is because of her. Also, you havenât seen her fingers before. They are as white as freshly peeled onions, without any wrinkles.â
Mrs. Hunt smiled and remained silent.
Madame Lea said, âThat is because you have brought her up too carefully. The children in our family are raised very carefully. Our family has only raised one child who is not rough. That child is our Young Master. The master raised him himself since he was young.â
Madame Lea smiled, âSir fed Young Master with powdered milk and changed his diaper. Speaking of which, even in an ordinary family, a father who can do this is already a good father. Besides, our master values the Young Master very much. He never separated from him for more than three days since he was little and even taught him personallyâ¦. At that time, we said we would find a mother for Young Master. The master said that the child was still young and that he was afraid that a stepmother would be bad. We would talk about it when the child grew up. He even said he wanted to find someone from a small family. Someone who wouldnât dare bully the Young Master. Speaking of which, Young Master is already five years old!â
In other words: Justin cared about Young Master more than anything else. Even if he got married, it wouldnât affect Young Masterâs status.
Melissa clenched her fists.
After Nora married Justin, it was her freedom to have children or not. However, the Hunts were clearly looking over their shoulder by saying all this up front.
What little family?
She was instantly furious and her smile hardened.
Mrs. Hunt scolded her, âMadame Lea, what nonsense are you talking? The Andersons are not a small family.â
Madame Lea immediately slapped her mouth gently. âMadame Melissa, donât take it to heart. I didnât think before I spoke. Thatâs not what I meant. Of course, the Andersons are not a small family. Their Rest Pills are all too famous. Even our family has a few for emergencies.â
Melissa: ââ¦â
She clenched her fists tightly, but she knew that even if this marriage didnât succeed, they couldnât fall. After all, the Andersons couldnât compare to the Hunts.
However, he had already made up his mind to convince Nora to break up with Justin.
She couldnât marry into such a family.
As she was thinking to herself, a clear, pretty voice suddenly rang out. âGreat-grandmother, is my baby sister here?â
With that, a small figure came running up .
