Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
Mrs. Hunt immediately dispelled one of the two possibilities the moment she thought of them. There was no way her grandson would fail to realize if she were just playing hard to get.
He was even better at reading people than her these days!
This piqued the old lady’s curiosity. “That makes me so curious about that young missy. Bring her home and let me have a look someday!”
Justin nodded. “No problem.”
After Justin left, the old lady suddenly got someone over and instructed, “Get someone to look into Nora Smith.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
The old lady frowned.
Although her grandson’s happiness was important, the Hunts’ honor was also very important!
Even if that woman was great, the fact that she had given birth to another man’s child would still be her dark past and would cause her to be mocked and laughed at for a lifetime.
She wasn’t optimistic about the two of them.
Therefore, she intended to look for an opportunity to meet Ms. Smith and her daughter.

Meanwhile, at the villa in the suburbs.
Nora was leaning on the sofa and nodding off. Next to her, Tanya had already taken Pete upstairs.
She had already tidied up the three bedrooms upstairs during the last few days. Apart from the master bedroom meant for herself, for the other two rooms, she turned one into a room for boys, and the other into one for girls.
She took Pete into the room for boys and asked, “Do you like it?”
Pete looked at the room, which was decorated fully in blue. The bed was even a Captain America-themed one. The boy, who was rendered a little speechless, replied, “How childish.”
Tanya curled her lip disdainfully. “You’re too precocious for your age, boy! What is your room decor like at the Hunts’?”
Pete replied, “It’s decorated in black, white, and gray tones, which are classier. I’ll take you there someda…”
He suddenly paused at this point.
… Because it suddenly occurred to him that the tyrant had already changed his room decor to Cherry’s tastes instead!
The whole room was pink!!
The corners of Pete’s lips spasmed a little. Then, he asked, “Who is this room for?”
Tanya’s eyes looked a little lost but were also determined. She answered, “It’s for my son!”
Pete, “?”
He was taken aback. “Do you have a son?”
Tanya hesitated for a moment before she replied, “It may also be a daughter, so I’ve also set up a girl’s room. When Cherry is back, I will ask her if she likes it or not.”
She would definitely find her child!
And once she did, the child would immediately have their own room!
She wanted to give her child all the maternal love that she owed all these years.
The thought had only just formed when her cell phone rang. When she answered the call, Joel’s voice came from the other side.
“It’s me.”
Tanya’s attitude turned cold. “Is something the matter, Mr. Smith?”
Joel kept quiet for a while before he finally said, “My daughter wants to learn to dance. I wonder if it’s convenient for Ms. Turner to—”
“No, it’s not.”
Tanya hung up without any hesitation.
Next to her, Pete was speechless.
Knock, knock!
The sound of someone knocking suddenly came from the door.
Nora, who was sleeping on the sofa, was awakened by the noise. She rubbed her eyes and got onto her feet. When she opened the door, Mrs. Landis immediately grabbed her hand and said, “Ma’am is in a bad mood today, Ms. Smith. She looked like she got along well with you when she was chatting with you earlier today. Can you spend some time with her and talk to her?”
Nora, “?”
She was about to reply when Mrs. Landis heaved a sigh. She said, “Ma’am got into an argument with her son. She’s really having a hard time. She is obviously afraid that the young master’s son will suffer if he remarries, yet she couldn’t tell him anything, which causes him to misunderstand her all the time. After the two quarreled again today, Ma’am has been spacing out in the greenhouse for a whole day now, and she refuses to eat or drink. What should I do?”
Nora, “…”
Just like that, Mrs. Landis dragged and pulled her next door. Sure enough, she spotted Iris sitting in a daze in the greenhouse.
Since I’m already here, I’ll just talk to her a little, Nora thought.
But what should she talk about?
What a headache…
She stepped into the greenhouse. She was about to speak when Iris spotted her. A smile blossomed on her sorrowful countenance at once. “You’re here, Ms. Smith. I have no idea why, either, but I just feel so happy and find you so likable the moment I see you. Maybe it’s because you’re good-looking.”
Nora, “…”
Iris went on. “We’re already meeting for the third time, so that makes us friends, right? But I don’t even know your name. Can you tell me what your name is?”
Nora was about to answer when Iris went on.
“Do you know how my pot of A Glimpse of Blood came about? It was actually my son who gave it to me on my birthday… I know he did it so that I could pour all my sentiments into the flowers, but what he doesn’t know is that I actually didn’t have any love for orchids in the past. I found gardening really annoying, but in order to take care of that pot of flowers, I bought a lot of orchids to learn and gain some experience. Over the years, I’ve killed a lot of orchids while trying to take care of them. I still remember that the first pot of flowers I killed was…”
Nora: “…”
She shut up and listened quietly.
She knew that what Iris needed at the moment was a listener—she needed to vent some of her emotions.
She talked about a lot of things, and Nora gazed at her seriously.
She didn’t find her annoying. After all, she simply couldn’t bring herself to be annoyed when faced with such a lovely visage. She could look at her all day without any issues.
Iris spoke mostly about bits and pieces of her life with her son. Through her words, Nora more or less got to know what kind of situation she was in.
For some reason, she and her son were living separately.
In addition, they weren’t on very good terms with each other, and her son seldom visited her. She realized this because she only spoke about how her son grew up, but never about how they spent time together.
Iris talked for a whole two hours. At last, her throat became parched, and Mrs. Landis brought them some fruit tea. She took a sip and said hoarsely, “Would you dislike me for being so long-winded, Ms. Smith? It’s been a really long time since I’ve spoken this much.”
“… No, I won’t. Feel free to go on,” replied Nora.
Iris, “…”
She had never seen such a quiet and beautiful girl with such a casual attitude before. In particular, whenever she mentioned how she had accidentally killed an orchid, Nora would always chime in with a sentence or two, and teach her methods that she could’ve used to save the flowers at that time…
She also learned a lot about taking care of orchids during the chat.
The more they chatted, the better they got along with each other. At last, Iris suggested, “I find that we simply hit it off very well, Ms. Smith. Why don’t we become a sworn family?”
Iris was about to suggest taking her as her goddaughter when Nora replied, “Sure, God-sis.”
Iris, “?”
She was stunned for a moment. Then, she burst into laughter and said, “I’m almost fifty. How can you call me God-sis?”
Nora was taken aback for a moment. She looked at the charming and pretty visage in front of her—the years didn’t seem to have left any marks on her face. She couldn’t help but say, “You look too young.”
Needless to say, Iris was delighted at the compliment. She touched her cheek and said, “You’re also very young, aren’t you? Are you twenty yet?”
Nora laughed. “My son is already five this year.”
… Son?
Iris was dumbfounded. “But you’re so young! Yet you already have a son?!”
Nora nodded.
Iris asked, “Where is he?”
Nora nodded at Villa No. 10 with her chin and answered, “He’s at my friend’s.”
Iris got up at once. “Really? Why don’t you take me to him? As his god… aunt, I should visit him, too!”
Nora, “…”
She thought of how Pete kept trying to hide, and knew right away that he might know the lady in front of her, and didn’t wish to meet with her just yet. Thus, she said, “Forget it. He’s shy.”
Iris didn’t force it, either. “Alright. I’ll let you meet my son the next time you’re here, God-sis!”
Nora smiled and got up. “Sure. It’s getting late, I have to go back.”
Iris sent her off.
When the two reached the door, Nora suddenly stood still and looked back at her. She said, “Sis, sometimes, what matters the most between two people is actually trust. You may be protecting your son in your way, but what if your son doesn’t need you to protect him anymore?”
Iris froze in place, stunned.
The girl in front of her was simply so perceptive. She hadn’t mentioned even a word about what had led to the current situation at all, but only talked briefly about how she interacted with her son, yet she had actually guessed it!
