Nora narrowed her feline eyes and said slowly, âI have never been wrong in my diagnoses.â
Elderly Mrs. Hunt frowned.
She clenched her jaw. âUh, are you trying to say that your diagnosis of Thomas is correct?â.
Nora raised her eyebrows and said nothing.
Elder Mrs. Hunt clenched her fists. As someone who had experienced so much in life, she had actually already had her own suspicions when Thomas said Cecelia was pregnant. She had even mentioned it personally to the Livingstons.
At the time, Mrs. Livingstone and Thomas had clearly promised that they would look into it properly.
Since they had gone ahead with the divorce, she had thought it was because Thomas had already made sure that the problem did not lie with him, which had confirmed that the child in Ceceliaâs womb was his! But judging by how sure Nora seemedâ¦.
He couldnât help but think of the Zabe Corporationâs Soothing Pills that Nora had manufactured. Doctor Zabe was the only person in the world who could manufacture those pills, but he had long since been bedridden and could no longer manufacture medicine.
Nora was the only disciple Doctor Zabe had personally accepted. When Elder Mrs. Hunt thought of this, she suddenly became nervous.
She hurried out with the help of the housekeeper.
Seeing her stagger back, the corners of Noraâs lips lifted in a smile.
Justin looked at the cheeky smile on her lips. For some reason, he suddenly found it terribly difficult to resist the impulse in him. He couldnât help but step forward and give her a kiss on the corner of her lips.
As soon as she did, they were both stunned.
Even Cherry and Pete gasped.
Then, Cherry pulled away and covered her eyes. âGee, thatâs embarrassing, but I canât see anything anymore! Mom and Dad can go on with what theyâre doing.â
As for Pete, he lowered his head and said calmly, âDid something happen, Cherry? I was working on my problems just now, so I didnât see anything.â
Cherry shook her head vigorously at once. âNot at all, not at all! I was playing the whole time, so I didnât see anything eitherâ¦â
Nora: ââ¦â
She kept quiet for a while, but in the end she couldnât help but expose Cherry. âYou didnât even get into your game.â Cherry paused. Then she picked up her phone and said, âReally?â
She sighed quietly. âThese obnoxious underage restrictions! The child lockout keeps preventing me from playing! Ouch!â
Justin couldnât resist exposing Pete either. âYour book is upside down.â
Pete: ââ¦â
He straightened the book silently. He was about to say something when Justin suddenly exchanged a glance with Nora. Then, as if they had telepathy, they both lifted the two children up, then gave Cherry and Pete a kiss on the cheek each.
Cherry and Pete, who were caught off guard and kissed by their parents, reacted completely differently.
Cherry blinked and said, âMommy, your mouth smells good~ I feel my heart soaring through the skies because of the kiss, and I feel like Iâm in such a good mood that I can play a hundred rounds without losing my temper~.â
Nora replied, â⦠However, it seems that you are only allowed to play for an hour a dayâ¦â
Cherry: ââ¦â
Hmph, Mom is so mean! Why does she always have to hit him where it hurts?
As for Pete, he wiped his cheek silently with a look of disgust.
Justin: ââ¦â
He looked down at the son in his arms and then at his soft, tender, sweet daughter. Justin suddenly felt he had kissed the wrong person!
The brat was simply not to be coddled.
As the four of them fussed, upstairs, Xanderâs eyes widened as he watched them in disbelief.
It seemed he had never seen people kiss like that before.
He touched his mouth and suddenly curved his lips in disdain.
Mouths were made for eating. Wasnât it dirty to kiss people like that?
Ha, those two stupid kids!
But she touched her lips with her fingers all the same. Then she put two fingers together and rubbed them against her cheek.
Was this what a kiss felt like?
Xander was stunned. But right after, he suddenly shuddered. Gross! He would never do such childish things.
He wouldnât play with them either.
With that in mind, Xander cringed and crawled back into the bedroom.
The family of four downstairs didnât see Xander come down even when it was time for lunch. When Nora went upstairs to take a look, she discovered that Xander was pretending to be asleep. However, since he wasnât sick, she didnât expose him.
After all, even if Xander was her son, the final results were not yet known. He did not want to invest his emotions in him too soon.
In the event that it turned out that they were not mother and son in the DNA test, but she had already developed feelings for the boy, things would become problematic.
And she had always been the person who hated trouble the most.
So, Nora went downstairs and played with Cherry and Pete for a while. Then the four of them went upstairs to choose the master bedroom.
Princess Cherry chose two rooms directly. She wanted to join the two rooms and then put her dolls in them.
Peteâs room was next to Cherryâs.
Although Justin hadnât brought it up, he had also wanted to merge two rooms for Pete. However, Nora said, âI think you can merge these two rooms and use one of them as a den. Peteâs robots and books can be placed there.â
It seemed to her that her father was being too partial to one of the parts, so she had to balance things out.
Peteâs eyes, looking at Nora, immediately lit up. Seeing them, even Nora couldnât help but tousle her hair with a smile.
At first, Justin wanted to say that they didnât have to do it in such an annoying way. Once the brat grew up, they would just give him a house and let him stay there instead of living with them.
However, this was the only suggestion Nora had given about renovating, so after a 0.1 second silence, Justin eventually agreed.
When they left for the night, Nora left Cherry there.
After all, she couldnât leave Justin alone either, could she?
She had completely forgotten that when she found out about the two children, she had wanted to throw a certain someone out and run away with the two children.
âBye, Mom, Iâll miss you!â
Cherry held out her chubby little hand. After saying that, she immediately took Justinâs hand and raised her head. Her jewel-black eyes were moist and wet, which made it unbearable to see her like this. She said, âDaddy, Iâm so sad that I canât play my games! Can you really stand a pretty little girl like me being sad?â
Justin: ââ¦â
âDad, can you ask Y to design me a program that can cheat the system and make me look like an adult?â
At his pitiful daughterâs demands, Justin made only one request, âDonât tell your mother!â.
âDonât worry, Dad!â
Cherryâs eyes were bright and shining. âThe one I love the most is Daddy!â
Justin: ââ¦â
After that, Cherry went up the stairs happily.
While the family of four were happily spending time with each other, Elder Mrs. Hunt was deeply worried.
After Nora said that, she had returned home and called Thomas immediately. When she called, Thomas and Helen had just left the courthouse.
As she looked at the divorce decree in her hand, Thomas said to her, âHelen, you should also understand that for wealthy families like ours, heirs have top priority. No one would want a woman like you who cannot reproduce. In view of the fact that we were married for three years, why donât you stay with me? However, Iâm going to marry Cecelia, after all, I have to give my son an identity of his own! But donât worry, I wonât treat you badly, what do you say?â
Helen clenched her fists as she listened to the nasty things he was saying.
She took a deep breath. A moment later, she said slowly, âThomas, whatâs so good about being with you? Are you so good in bed? Do you know how happy I am to be able to divorce you? At last I no longer have to tolerate your incompetence and inexplicable self-confidence.â
Her words struck a chord with Thomas. He had always bragged about his great stamina in bed. So he was immediately angry and said angrily, âWell done, Helen! You shameless ingrate! Well, then weâll see how miserable youâll be in the future! Heh, donât expect me to hide the truth from you when others ask me why we divorced!â
She turned to leave after yelling at him. It was at that moment, however, that she received a call from Elder Mrs. Hunt.
