Chapter 701



.

Iris was stunned.

Nora asked, “Why?”

Iris’s jaw tensed.

She clearly knew Nora was asking her why her attitude had suddenly changed so much, but she still pretended not to understand. “What why?”

As the two were at a stalemate, Cherry’s childish voice was heard. “Grandma? But isn’t Grandma Dad’s mother? Why does Dad have two mothers?”

Lauren, stunned for a moment, stood awkwardly.

Herman said, “Cherry, this is my current wife. You should call her Grandma.”

Cherry tilted her head and stared at him, feeling a little unhappy. “Who are you?”

Herman’s expression froze. He coughed and suppressed the frustration in his heart.

Before returning home, Lauren had already inquired and had found out that Justin was a slave to her daughter, so as long as he pleased Cherry, he could curry favor with Justin.

Therefore, Herman pretended to patiently explain, “…I am your father’s father.”

“Dad’s father is my grandfather, and Dad’s mother is my grandmother-” Cherry played dumb and sang a nursery rhyme. When she finished, she even smiled at Justin. “Daddy, did I sing well?”

“Very well.”

Justin touched his head, but his gaze roamed the area in front of him. The figures of Iris and Nora were together on the other side in the corner before the two came out.

Justin narrowed his eyes.

Outside.

“What the hell is going on?” Nora blocked Iris’ path and asked, “Is there anything you can’t say?”

“No!” Iris looked as cheerful as before. She even smiled softly. “I just don’t like the Hunts.”

Nora frowned. “But when we met that afternoon, you told me a lot about yourself and your son. You clearly care about him. I thought you thought things through when you came to give the birthday presents to the three children.”

Iris frowned and suddenly looked up. “I just want to maintain a good relationship with you.”

Nora: “?”

Iris revealed her purpose casually. “You know orchids very well. You will definitely be able to help me. Therefore, for your sake, I have pretended to give my grandchildren some gifts. I don’t like them.”

Nora frowned. Her almond eyes glittered with confusion. “Why?”

“Because…” Iris said word for word, “Herman’s blood runs in his veins! He betrayed me then, So I hate everything about him!”

Nora clenched her jaw.

Iris continued to smile as she said, “I used Justin to force Grandfather Hunt out and successfully stayed home. It wasn’t because he was noble, but because I wanted to fight him for the assets! Didn’t he want the Hunt Corporation, I took it from him! As for Justin… I really can’t get close to him. He’s too much like Herman. As soon as I get close to him, I remember Herman’s disgusted face. I just want to stay in the villa alone. No one to bother me.”

Iris turned and left.

This time, Nora could not stop her.

However, Iris must have had her reasons.

The woman who had confided in her for a whole afternoon was not lying. But why?

Nora thought about it and turned to go inside again. However, as soon as she turned her head, she saw Justin standing not far from her.

The man’s eyes were dark and dim. Half of his face was in the light under the streetlight, and the other half was dark. Under the night sky, the mole in the corner of his eye grew colder.

Obviously, she had heard Iris’s words.

When Nora thought about the way she and Iris were talking earlier, Iris should have clearly seen Justin’s eyes, but she still said those words. It was clear that she was doing it on purpose.

She was even more certain that Iris had her reasons.

But what difficulties did she have?

As she thought, she saw a hint of loneliness appear on the man’s face. Justin suddenly said, “Nora, my birth mother doesn’t even like me, do you really like me?”.

At that moment, he was like a pitiful worm in a corner forgotten by all.

Nora looked at him and her heart softened. She walked over to Justin and looked at him seriously. “I really like you.”

Justin seemed to feel very moved. He reached out and hugged her tightly as he murmured in her ear, “How can that be? Even mom hates me…. What can you like about me?”.

This side of Justin was truly heartbreaking.

Nora thought about it and hesitated for a long time. In the end, she replied, “You’re cute!”.

She didn’t see the corners of Justin’s mouth twitch. “…”

He had no other merit in Nora’s heart!!!!

As he thought, he felt Nora nudging him. Justin quickly sorted through his emotions and regained his lonely expression.

He seemed to have been hurt by Iris’ words.

He finally took the opportunity to push Nora further. He couldn’t get carried away so easily. She sighed quietly. “Nora, can you stay with me tonight?”

Nora: “?????”

Justin looked away, his deep eyes full of sadness. “I have some things I want to tell you.”

Nora was about to turn him down when she heard him say, “It’s about my mother and me.”

Nora twitched her lips and finally sighed. “Okay.”

At that moment.

Iris sat in the car and left the Hunts.

As the Hunt’s iron gate closed, Mrs. Landis couldn’t help but say, “Mrs. Iris, why do you have to do this? It’s been so many years. Now that Mr. Hunt has grown up, it is clear that he is very powerful. Tell him about your difficulties.”

Iris lowered her head. “It will be troublesome if I tell him. Forget it. It’s been many years. He hasn’t grown up with me-why should I ask him to grow old with me?”

Mrs. Landis stared at her. “What do you mean trouble? You’re his mother! You’ve repressed the longing in your heart for so many years and you haven’t even looked at him. You hug your phone every night and repeatedly watch the videos of him growing up that the house servants had sent to your husband…. You can’t bear to delete those videos, even though your phone is full…”

Iris said nothing.

Mrs. Landis suddenly bowed in front of her. “Ma’am, if you don’t want to tell Mr. Hunt, tell me! What happened then, why?”
