Mrs. Huntâs thoughts were simple.
The children were the ones who were most attached to their mothers. As long as she took the two children with her, she wouldnât have to worry about Nora not going home. However, she didnât expect there to be no movement behind her after she spoke.
She turned around, then saw Pete and Cherry looking at her in a daze, while Justinâs mouth was pursed. Mrs. Hunt was stunned. âJustin, what are you waiting for, take the child! Look how sleepy Cherry isâ¦â
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Ianâs voice. âMrs. Hunt, we just said that Cherry has nothing to do with the Hunts. She can only take Pete.â
No sooner had he said this than Pete interjected, âIâm not leaving. I want to stay with Mom.â
Mrs. Hunt: â!â
She was stunned. Then she said in astonishment, âThese two children are from the Hunts. Of course, they have to come with me.â
Ian was very domineering. âHunt who? This is my granddaughter. She has the Smith blood in her.â
Mrs. Hunt lifted her chin. âIan, I know society is developing, but our wealthy families still care about raising our daughters. Your daughter will marry sooner or later. The Hunt sons canât end up in another family where they may suffer.â
Ian smiled, âWho said my daughter is going away, Iâm going to find a husband for my daughter in the future! Anyway, since I donât have a son, Nora will take on the responsibilities!â
With that, she looked at Joel and asked, âJoel, do you mind?â
Joel stood up. âOf course, I donât mind. Even if Nora manages the Smith Corporation, I have no objection.â
Ian raised his eyebrows and looked at Mrs. Hunt. âDid you hear that?â
Mrs. Hunt: â!â
She couldnât win against Ian, so she could only look at Justin. âJustin, arenât you going to say anything?â
Uncover new worlds at g alnov els ;com With that, she whispered, âJustin, if you want to marry Miss Smith and make her bow her head in betrothal, you have to take both children with you! I guarantee sheâll be right behind you.â
As he said this, Justinâs gaze turned even colder.
He had long known that his grandmother did not like Nora.
She preferred traditional daughters who would be at home with her husband and children, just like a motherâ¦.. In the Hunts she would be stuck as the childrenâs mother forever!
However, with Noraâs personality, it was impossible for her to be stuck at home.
And this time, Mrs. Hunt had come to the Smiths, first, to bring Pete and, second, to belittle Nora!
How could Justin allow Nora to be belittled at home in the future?
Soâ¦he knew what Mrs. Hunt said was true: as long as he took both childrenâ¦or even one of them, Nora couldnât leave.
But she couldnât.
She put her head down and hugged Mrs. Hunt as she slowly said, âGrandma, letâs go.â
Mrs. Hunt was stunned. âWhat about the children?â
Justin sighed. âNora gave birth to the children in the first place. The children will only follow us if she asks them to.â
Mrs. Hunt looked at Nora. âMiss Smith, let the children come with us. At the very least, let Pete come back with us.â
Nora shook her head. âIâm sorry, I canât.â
It was more likely that Cherry would come back with them. However, it was impossible for Pete!
Since the time when she slept for a few days, she could clearly feel that Pete was more attached to her. Now was the critical period for treating her sonâs mild autism. How could she let the Hunts take him away?
Mrs. Hunt misunderstood. âReallyâ¦the Smiths are going to take our son away from us?â
She turned to look at Ian. âIan, the two families had planned a marriage alliance in the first place. Letting Miss Smith marry Justin is the best option. Why do you have to do this, arenât you afraid weâll turn on each other?â
Ian smiled arrogantly. âMy health is not good and I donât know how long I can live. Therefore, I donât care what happens in the future. I just know that my daughter is not to be taken lightly.â
Mrs. Hunt choked up.
Before she could say anything else, Justin had already held her arm tightly and interrupted her. âUncle Ian, Joel, Nora, letâs go back first. Iâll have to trouble you to take care of Pete and Cherry.â
With that, he brought Mrs. Hunt down hard.
After the group of people left the Smiths, Ian sneered. âAt least this kid knows his place!â
Joel thought about his friendship with Justin during this period of time and said, âMr. Hunt has always been pretty good, hasnât he? But Mrs. Hunt is too unreasonable.â
After saying that, he seemed to fear that Nora would be upset, so he explained, âNora, Mr. Hunt left because he wanted to take Mrs. Hunt home. Donât think too much about it.â
Nora didnât think too much about it. She just felt that the atmosphere had finally become much quieter. No one was looking at her while she ate anymore, looking down on her for eating so much.
She felt herself relax. She stretched her body and walked into the bedroom. âI understand.â
After closing the door, Ian suddenly greeted Joel. âTell me, how does Nora feel about Justin, does she like Justin?â
Joel touched his nose as confusion flashed in his foxy eyes. âUncle Ian, speaking of which, I find it strange too. Noraâs personality is more distant, and sheâs cold to everyone. I didnât see any intimacy between her and Justin eitherâ¦. I really couldnât tell if she likes him or not.â
Hearing this, Ian nodded thoughtfully and said, âIn that case, you understand whatâ¦â
His voice was clipped.
After hearing the whole sentence, Joel looked at Ian in disbelief. âThis⦠is not a good thing, is it?â.
Ian: âThatâs what weâll do!â
Joel: ââ¦Okay.â

On the way back to the Hunts. Mrs. Hunt watched Justinâs expression carefully, but seeing that her grandsonâs expression was still dark, she couldnât help but cough and say, âJustin, it really wasnât my fault about today. I didnât say anything wrong, but Ian set me up.â
Justin said nothing.
Mrs. Hunt said again, âDonât be like that. If you really like that Miss Smith, Iâll personally visit her another day and invite her back, how about it?â
This was what Justin wanted.
Grandma had always looked down on Nora. So he had to let her know how difficult this marriage was!
Other peopleâs daughters would have to beg a hundred times before agreeing, wouldnât they?
Besides, I could make Grandma apologize to Nora! That way, when Nora married the Hunts, she wouldnât be criticized by Mrs. Hunt. That was also why she hadnât stopped Mrs. Hunt from speaking earlier.
However, just as he woke up the next day and was about to go downstairs, Brenda suddenly ran in front of him. âJustin, bad news! The Smiths are going to choose a husband for Nora.â
