Chapter 699



.

Nora had a flash of inspiration and picked up some information. However, all her inspiration was interrupted by the ringtone on her phone, making her frown.

She sensed something she had overlooked was about to surface, but instantly sank back into the background.

She sighed quietly.

It seemed she really couldn’t be anxious.

She picked up the phone. A soft voice came from the other end. “Nora, I’m going to the Hunts later, are you coming?”

It was Justin’s mother, Iris.

At the thought of the gentle woman, Nora laughed softly. “Okay…sis.”

After all, she had recognized her as her sworn sister back then.

Iris had taken very good care of herself. Over the years, she had been raising flowers every day and didn’t worry about the outside world. Such a person had no worries and still looked to be in her thirties.

She probably couldn’t get Nora to call her mom either.

Hearing Nora call her ‘sister’, Iris was silent for a moment before smiling. “Call me that only in private. Don’t call me that when we’re at the Hunts.”

Nora: “?”

Just as he raised his eyebrows, he heard her say, “I don’t want my son to turn into a cold machine when he meets me.”

When Nora heard this, she was silent for a moment before replying, “Okay.”

Justin and Iris’s relationship didn’t seem to be very good. She didn’t know the specific reason, but she didn’t want to add to the misunderstanding between them.

After hanging up, she drove back to the Hunts.

When she got to the door, she saw that Iris’s car had arrived as well.

The woman was wearing a white dress. She was tall and slender. Her actions had the elegance and grace of a young woman from a large family. She walked slowly toward Nora.

“…What have you come for?”

Nora was about to speak to her sworn sister. Fortunately, she controlled herself.

Iris looked at her lovingly and said, “Yesterday was Cherry and Pete’s birthday. I didn’t join in the fun, but as a grandmother, I have to make up for it. Also…I heard that you had actually given birth to triplets back then, how wonderful!”

Nora: “…”

Why were Iris’s eyes so mocking when she mentioned triplets?

She had even added, “How wonderful!” at the end.

Nora felt a little uncomfortable and followed her into the bedroom.

In the living room, Cherry was playing on the couch while Pete sat beside her, reading. Xander was still resting upstairs. Although his fever had broken, he was still a little weak.

When they saw Iris, their eyes lit up. They jumped off the couch and ran to her.

Pete was clearly much more animated than before. He took the initiative to shout, “Grandma!”.

Cherry’s eyes also widened. “Grandma, tell me the truth – are you a vampire?”

All: “?”

The others were a little surprised. Why would Cherry say such rude things?

Only Nora’s mouth twitched. She was used to it. And indeed, she heard her next words. “Why don’t you look old at all? You’re still so young and beautiful….. If we go out together, people will think you’re my sister.”

To say that she was his sister was too much.

However, such lies didn’t feel strange coming from Cherry’s mouth. It even made her want to laugh.

Iris smiled and picked her up. “Cherry, you are so sweet. I wonder who you got that from.”

“Not from Mom!”

Her mother was the most stubborn and didn’t like to talk!

After Cherry said this unconsciously, she looked at Nora. When her eyes met Nora’s, she immediately added, “After all, I’ve already inherited mom’s beauty~ I can’t be greedy!”

This little sycophant.

Nora’s lips curved up. Her almond-shaped eyes looked at her slightly.

Iris also burst out laughing. Then she gave the three children the gifts she had brought and went upstairs to see Xander.

Nora had lit a soothing incense in the room, so the little boy slept very soundly and didn’t wake up.

Iris didn’t want to stay long at the Hunts. She got up and said, “I’ll see him next time.”

She went out and went downstairs with Nora. When she saw Justin standing there, her eyes flickered for a moment before she nodded to him.

“You’re here.”

Justin’s attitude was also very cold. Iris said, “I’ve come to see the children. I’m leaving now.”

Justin nodded distantly.

Iris looked at him. Although there were many things she wanted to say, she didn’t know where to begin. In the end, she walked silently past Justin.

Just as she reached the door, the butler came rushing in. “Sir, bad news! The Old Lord is back!”

When the butler saw Iris, he shut his mouth instantly.

Iris frowned. “Who?”

The butler was anxious. He looked at Justin and could only bite the bullet and say, “H-he…. the… Lord Justin’s father.”

Iris immediately clenched her fists.

The butler added carefully, “And… and that woman.”

Seeing the situation, Nora looked at Justin. She saw the man raise his eyes and look outside with a deep stare. He was silent for two seconds before he said, “Throw her out.”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a voice was heard. “This is my house. Let’s see who dares to throw me out.”
