Chapter 294



Warren was so worried that he pulled his hair again and pulled out a few more strands.

In the next room.

Yvonne heard the voices coming from the surveillance device. She had hacked into Warren’s phone and was listening in on their conversation.

When she heard the other party say that they couldn’t find the bug and therefore couldn’t determine the cause either, the corners of her lips curved into a smile.

Of course, they couldn’t find the cause.

Because it was her newly created virus. She had planted the virus when she was repairing the game server earlier that day. She was the only one who could solve the virus.

She went about her skin care routine leisurely, opening a bottle of expensive body lotion and spreading it carefully over her.

Even the skin of a wealthy young woman required meticulous care.

She bowed her head. Before long, she heard Maureen’s voice. “Why don’t we go to Yvonne after all, Warren?”

Yvonne smiled.

So what if Maureen was arrogant – didn’t he have to bow to her anyway?

Nora, who had taken Cherry out with her, was having dinner with Justin and Pete in a private room.

The family of four sat together. When Cherry and Pete sat across from each other, it was as if they were looking in a mirror. When Justin looked at the children, he couldn’t help but marvel. “Why is it that this pair of boy-girl twins look exactly alike? They look too much alike. Boy-girl twins are supposed to be fraternal twins. Are there any medical cases where boy-girl twins look too much alike?”

Nora shook her head. “I’ve never seen any. Child-child twins are like normal siblings. Outsiders may not be able to tell them apart with the naked eye, but their parents will be able to see some differences, although Cherry and Pete look virtually identical. But when they grow up and Pete’s characteristics as a boy and Cherry’s as a girl become apparent, they won’t look so much alike anymore.”

Justin breathed a sigh of relief. He was very afraid that the two children would still look exactly alike even after they grew up. Now that would be very strange.

He touched Cherry’s head, who was sitting next to him, and looked at Nora. Then, as if reminiscing about the past, she said, “You know, before this I almost thought Pete was a pervert.”

Pete, who was eating: “?”

He lifted his head silently and looked at the tyrant with a frown.

He sure knew how to pick a topic of conversation just to get Mom to say a few more words. As she scorned him, wasn’t she also scorning her own IQ?

The corners of her lips twitched a little. Just as he was about to speak, Nora asked, “Oh, why?”

Justin coughed and said, “Pete suddenly became very feminine, so I thought there was something psychologically wrong with him, and I asked a family doctor to give him a psychological test. The results indicated that he was a girl at heart.”

Nora: “…”

Nora looked at Pete. The image of a shocked Justin formed in her mind, and she couldn’t help but smile.

Pete: “…”

She looked at Cherry with a confused look. When had the psychological test taken place?

Cherry was also puzzled. She looked at Justin in bewilderment and asked, “When did you have me take the psych test, Dad?”

When Justin brought up what happened at the hotel in California, Cherry suddenly lit up. She exclaimed, “Oh, so it was a psychological test! I thought it was an intelligence test.”

Pete: “!!!!”

So, when Cherry had said so confidently that her dad had her take an IQ test and the results came back super high – and Dad was so pleased he couldn’t say anything – was she really talking about a psychological test?

The corners of her lips tightened a little. Only then did he realize what a terrible situation Cherry had put him in then.

He looked at Cherry. “What about history trivia and all that?”

Cherry replied proudly, “My knowledge of history is really good. You can ask Dad if you don’t believe me.”

Pete looked at Justin, who coughed and said, “She’s pretty good.”

He no longer believed him, however, so he looked at Nora. Nora’s lips curved into a smile and she said, “Yeah, it’s pretty good. Who invented the first car?”

“Harrison Ford!” Cherry answered right away!

Pete: “!!!!”

His pride and dignity of being a high-IQ genius had been destroyed by Cherry!!!!!

With that topic of conversation, Nora started talking more than usual. In addition, she also wanted to know about her son.

Justin slowly started talking about all the things Pete did when he was younger. He said, “… He drives his private tutors crazy with rage. When he was two years old, the tutor told them the story of the three little pigs and asked the children who they wanted to be: the oldest, the second or the third pig? All the children said they wanted to be the third pig because only workers can build a sturdy house. When the tutor asked Pete the same question, what do you think he said?”.

Nora shook her head.

Justin laughed and said, “He said, ‘Sir, I don’t want to be a pig. I want to be a human being.'”

“… Hahaha!”

It was the first time in Nora’s life that she had laughed out loud with such glee. She had not expected her disciplined and rigid son to have such endearing and funny moments when he was younger.

Justin’s gaze became a little infatuated as he watched her laugh.

The woman’s eyelids were always drooped when she wasn’t smiling, which made her look half asleep. However, the angle of the corners of her lips was just right this instant she was laughing, and her eyes also seemed brighter than usual.

She hastily withdrew her gaze and took a sip of water to suppress the scratchiness in her throat.

It was the first time they had eaten so happily as a family of four.

Even Nora didn’t gobble down the food as she usually did. In fact, when she finished eating, she even sat and listened to him talk about all the embarrassing things Pete did as a child.

The time flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was nine o’clock.

The kids had to go to bed, so Justin sent Nora and Pete back to the Smiths. When they arrived, he tried to ask her out. “Are we going to Universal Studios for the weekend?”

Cherry immediately clapped her hands. “Yes, yes! Dad’s the best.”

Justin looked at Nora.

Nora wanted to refuse so she could sleep, but maybe because the atmosphere that afternoon was just great, or maybe because the night was getting dark, she hesitated as she saw the children’s longing looks, as well as Justin’s dark eyes. A moment later, he nodded.

When Justin left with Cherry, Nora took Pete to the Smith mansion.

As soon as they entered, Mia rushed to hug Pete. “Cherry, why are you back so late, are we going to sleep together?”

Pete: “?”

Pete had only ever slept in the same bed with Nora and Justin before. When he heard Mia’s words, he froze and stammered, “N-no, it’s okay…”

“Why?” Mia looked at him shyly. “You don’t like me?”

Pete didn’t put up the slightest resistance to her gaze. “Of course I do!” he said.

“Then let’s go!”

With that, Mia dragged Pete along.

Nora: “…”

She didn’t refuse either.

First of all, the kids were only five years old. Besides, they actually counted as cousins, didn’t they? It was okay even if they slept together.

She walked up the stairs quietly. Before she entered her bedroom, she saw Maureen sitting on the couch in the second-floor living room. She sighed.
