Chapter 515



.

Cherry and Pete grabbed their little heads and looked at Nora. However, they saw that Nora, who usually went to bed early after showering and had nothing to do, was yawning as she held her phone boredly.

Cherry blinked her grape-like eyes and asked, “Mommy, why aren’t you asleep?”

If Mommy wasn’t in bed, how was she going to play?

gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․com, where the best stories live Nora looked at her and yawned again. She was so sleepy she could barely open her eyes.

If she still didn’t come, she’d fall asleep!

Pete suddenly asked, “Mom, are you waiting to hear from Dad?”

Nora: “?”

Her eyes opened instantly. She looked at Pete and coughed. His voice was slightly hoarse and carried a hint of panic that no one else could detect. “How did you know?”

Pete sighed. “Because Dad’s in the downstairs living room!”.

Nora: “????”

She asked in surprise, “What?”

Pete nodded and said, “Yes, I saw Dad come from outside earlier. I happened to run into Grandpa, so I called him. The two of them are chatting downstairs now.”

Nora: “…”

She sat down and thought about it. Then, she came out and saw two men sitting downstairs.

Justin was sitting on the couch with his back straight.

Ian was sitting in a wheelchair drinking tea. The two were sitting across from each other but not talking. The living room was very quiet.

Nora looked at them and prepared to go downstairs. When she turned around, she saw Joel and Tanya sitting by the bedroom door on the second floor. The two had even moved two chairs. They both looked like they were watching a show.

To top it off, there was a plate of melon seeds in the center.

Seeing Nora, Tanya smiled at her and spit out a melon seed. She explained, “The two of you have been sitting across from each other for ten minutes without saying a word.”

Joel nodded to the side. “Looks like Justin is in big trouble if he wants to marry Nora.”

Tanya lifted her chin at that. “I think it was too easy for you to marry me! A lot of people came after me back then!”

Joel laughed softly. “Yes, it’s mainly because my wife cooperated well and gave my father-in-law no room to resist.”

He added, “Otherwise, it would have been harder for me. After all, Uncle Ian is still reasonable, but Karl…”

Before he could finish, Tanya glared at him. “What are you trying to say?”

Joel immediately changed his tone. “Karl is more direct and not as calculating as Uncle Ian.”

“…That’s more like it!”

After saying that, Tanya took a handful of melon seeds. After some thought, she shoved them into Joel’s hands. Joel laughed and took them to help peel them. He then placed the seeds in Tanya’s mouth.

The two sat very close to each other and had an intimate pose. Nora pouted and then went downstairs.

As she came down, she overheard Justin ask, “Uncle Ian, do you have something to tell me? I came today to…see the kids.”

Ian asked nonchalantly, “Even if I have nothing to say, can’t you join me for a while?”.

Justin replied, “…. Of course I can.”

He adjusted his black suit. “If you need my company, I’m free no matter how long it takes.”

“…” Ian choked out. “It’s not necessary. I’m just a little lonely right now and I need someone to keep me company.”

He wasn’t allowed upstairs anyway!

Justin coughed and nodded. “No problem. If it gets too late, I can stay all night. I’ll help you keep watch tonight.”

На.

Who knew what room he would go to in the middle of the night?

As Ian thought about this, he said, “There’s no need for that. I’m not used to people keeping watch during the night for me.”

Justin leaned forward and poured him a cup of tea. After Ian took a sip, Justin asked, “Uncle Ian, as far as my grandmother is concerned, I’ll apologize to you here. But don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll make her apologize to Nora.”

Ian’s attitude was cold and he was very difficult to talk to. Even now, he didn’t give in. “It doesn’t matter whether she gives in or not. Besides, Nora has nothing to do with your family.”

Justin sighed. “Uncle Ian, Nora and I…”

“You and Nora have had two children by accident. It’s certainly problematic, but don’t worry. Whatever happens, you’re still the children’s father. If you come to see the children, I won’t stop you.”

Justin seemed to choke. He lowered his head. “Uncle Ian, what do I have to do to get you to agree to our marriage?”

Ian hadn’t expected him to sound so pitiful, to the point of choking on his words. He frowned and began to recount his shortcomings. “The Hunt families are all at odds. The side family has been fighting with you all this time, right? And that grandmother of yours is not someone easy to deal with. After Nora marries you, family matters will be too much trouble. These are all things I can’t agree with.”

Justin nodded. “I know. There are a lot of problems at home, but I’ll try my best to solve them before I come to propose marriage.”

Ian frowned. “We’ll talk about it when the time comes. If there’s nothing more to say, you can go.”

Justin slowly lowered his head, his expression revealing some aggravation. Seeing him like that, Nora suddenly thought of the first time she had seen him. It was at the hotel. The man was like a moon surrounded by stars, dazzling. Such a person smiled when confronted by Karl Moore, threatening him in a domineering way, but when confronted by Ian, he accepted unconscionable criticism.

Nora lowered her eyes and said suddenly, “Cherry missed you. Go upstairs and see her.”

Justin’s eyes lit up at hearing this. He unconsciously took two steps toward Nora, but then stopped and looked at Ian hesitantly.

His expression was as if he didn’t dare approach unless Ian allowed it.

Ian: “!!!”

He finally understood. This guy hadn’t spoken since he came in and was waiting for him to speak. Whoever spoke first would lose, but why had Justin suddenly started to give in?

So it was because Nora had come downstairs!

This pretentious guy!

However, since he had just been reunited with his daughter, he definitely couldn’t force the two of them apart. Therefore, he angrily said, “Go.” Justin revealed a happy expression. “Thank you, Uncle Ian!”

Then, he followed Nora upstairs.

Ian: “…”

He suddenly felt very aggrieved!

Justin, who was trailing behind Nora, smiled. He followed Nora up the stairs. When he saw Joel, he stopped for a moment and nodded before following Nora into the bedroom.

As soon as they entered, he said to Cherry and Pete, “I just saw Mia. She’s looking for you guys.”

Nora: “?”

When Cherry saw Justin, she had already jumped off the couch and was running toward him. Hearing him, she stopped in front of him and hesitantly asked, “It’s too late now. Is Mia still awake?”

Justin coughed. “Yes.”

Pete looked at the tyrant and stood up helplessly. “Cherry, come on.”

Nora looked at him shooing the children out the door. Then with a click, he closed the door and turned to look at her. “Nora, we don’t have much time. We have to hurry.”

Nora: “?????”
