Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
After she sat down, Mrs. Hunt smiled and said, “You can’t spoil a child too much.”
Melissa lowered her eyes. Although Cherry had indeed lost her composure today, she still protected her own family. She smiled. “You’re right. However, Cherry is a delicate girl. Aren’t all wealthy families raising their daughters like gems? This has always been the case in our family. Our daughters are all very precious! Boys are tougher, on the other hand.”
In other words, “Our girls are willful! Nora is also very willful!”
Melissa felt that she could not lower her stance and blindly pander to her. She had to tell Mrs. Hunt that Nora had also been pampered by the Andersons since she was young!
Mrs. Hunt understood and smiled. “Isn’t this how wealthy families raise their children? But why do I hear that Nora grew up in California?”
Melissa smiled. “Yes, my elder sister married into California back then and set up a company there. However, it’s more difficult to raise children there. Nora’s good skin is all because of her. Also, you haven’t seen her fingers before. They’re as fair as freshly peeled onions without any creases.”
Mrs. Hunt smiled and remained silent.
Mdm. Lea said, “That’s because you raised her too carefully. The boys in our family are raised roughly. Our family has only raised one child who is not rough. That child is our Young Master. Sir raised him himself since he was young.”
Mdm. Lea smiled. “Sir fed Little Young Master milk powder and changed his diaper. Speaking of which, even in an ordinary family, a father who can do this is already a good father. Moreover, our Sir highly values Little Young Master. He never left his side for more than three days since he was young and even taught him personally… At that time, we said that we would find a mother for Little Young Master. Sir said that the child was still young and was afraid that a stepmother would be bad. We would talk about it when the child grew up. He even said that he wanted to find someone from a small family. Someone who would not dare to bully Little Young Master. Speaking of which, Little Young Master is already five years old!”
In other words: Justin cared about the Little Young Master the most. Even if he married, it could not affect the Little Young Master’s status.
Melissa clenched her fists.
After Nora marries Justin, it was her freedom to have children or not. However, the Hunts were clearly looking down on them by saying all this in advance.
What small family?
She was instantly furious, and her smile stiffened.
Mrs. Hunt scolded, “Mdm. Lea, what nonsense are you talking about? The Andersons aren’t a small family!”
Mdm. Lea immediately slapped her mouth gently. “Ms. Melissa, don’t take it to heart. I didn’t think before I spoke. That’s not what I meant. Of course, the Andersons are not a small family. Your Carefree Pills are too famous. Even our family has a few for emergencies.”
Melissa: “…”
She clenched her fists tightly, but she knew that even if this marriage did not succeed, they could not fall out. After all, the Andersons could not compare to the Hunts.
However, she had already made up her mind to persuade Nora to break up with Justin.
She could not marry into such a family!
As she was thinking to herself, a clear and cute voice suddenly sounded. “Great-Grandmother, is my little sister here?”
With that, a small figure ran over.
Melissa looked over subconsciously, but the moment she lifted her head, she froze all of a sudden.
She stared incredulously at the child running in, and swallowed hard. Cherry also noticed her while she was running in. The little fellow came to a stop, and a touch of surprise appeared in her big round eyes.
An astonished Melissa said, “Ch…”
But before she could say ‘… erry, why are you back?’, the little fellow suddenly exclaimed, “Ooh! Hi, Grand-aunt!”
She interrupted Melissa, ran up to her, and sat on her lap.
Melissa: “?”
She couldn’t understand how Cherry could go in and out of the Hunts’ residence at will. Moreover, she had clearly come from the inner premises. Shouldn’t she be in the car going back to the Andersons right now?
While she was in a daze, Mrs. Hunt frowned and asked, “Grand… Aunt? Pete, do the two of you know each other?”
Cherry nodded at once. “Uh-huh! Great-Grandma, this is Grand-Aunt. Grand-Aunt, this is my great-grandmother~”
Even more question marks filled Melissa’s mind: ???
She suddenly turned to Mrs. Hunt and asked, “W-what did you call the child just now?”
Pete? What Pete?
Before Mrs. Hunt could explain, Cherry said, “Don’t you remember who I am, Grand-Aunt? I’m Pete Hunt! My father is Justin Hunt!”
Then, she looked at Mrs. Hunt again and said, “Are they the guests you were talking about, Great-Grandma? I’ve been to their house! Daddy took me there before, yeah!”
Cherry’s young and tender voice rang out in the living room, shocking Melissa so badly that she was practically crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
What nonsense was Cherry spouting?
Pete Hunt? What nonsens…
No, wait, Hunt?
And ‘Great-Grandma’…
‘My father is Justin Hunt’…
She looked at Cherry, who was in her arms, in disbelief after connecting the pieces of crucial information. She swallowed hard and asked, “Y-your father is Justin Hunt?”
Justin was the father of Nora’s child???
Cherry blinked at her and replied, “Uh-huh! My father is Justin Hunt, and I am his son, yeah!”
She deliberately placed emphasis on the word ‘son’. Then, she asked, “Where’s my sister? Didn’t she come?”
If Pete had come, he would definitely find a way to escape!
There was absolutely no way he would stay!
Cherry understood her elder brother very well, so there weren’t any loopholes in her words at all.
The dumbfounded Melissa’s mind was a complete blank.
Mrs. Hunt, however, was very displeased with how close and intimate the two of them were. She beckoned to Cherry and said, “Come to Great-Grandma, Pete.”
Cherry nodded and ran to Mrs. Hunt.
After getting her to sit beside her, Mrs. Hunt looked at Melissa and asked with a fake smile, “So, Justin has already paid your family a visit?”
Melissa: “…”
When had he ever paid them a visit?!
But when she thought of what Pete had said just now…
She looked again at Cherry, who was sitting beside Mrs. Hunt obediently…
The child in front of her felt more like the Cherry whom Nora had brought with her from California. On the contrary, it was the Cherry, who was always so quiet and taciturn lately, that felt more like she would be the little mister of the Hunts…
Could it be that…
Everything suddenly clicked in her head in this instant.
She looked at Mrs. Hunt again, who said with a smile, “You mustn’t be so casual with your terms of address, Pete. You should call her Mrs. Anderson instead.”
Cherry blinked. “But Daddy told me to call her Grand-Aunt!”
The clever Cherry had long since discovered that everyone in this family became fearful the moment she brought her father into the picture!
Sure enough, Mrs. Hunt didn’t make any more mention about changing the term of address. Instead, she looked at Melissa with a smile and said, “Would you just look at this child? He’s just so innocent that he can’t even distinguish between who’s family and who’s not. That said, it’s not really a big issue even if he goes along with it and addresses you as Grand-Aunt.”
Mrs. Hunt could tell from Cherry’s attitude that Justin had already taken care of everything long ago. Knowing that there was no way she could stop the marriage anymore, she heaved a silent sigh inwardly.
In that case, there were some things that must be made clear.
She took a deep breath and said with a smile, “Mrs. Anderson, I asked you over because there’s something I want to talk to you about. I should think that you’re already aware that Ms. Smith and Justin are dating. What are your thoughts on this? Also, our family has high hopes for Pete. Surely the Andersons won’t mind if he becomes close to his biological mother in the future, right?”
Although they didn’t know who Pete’s biological mother was, they would eventually find her.
In Mrs. Hunt’s opinion, no one could compare to their own blood relatives.
It was just like Iris back then. For Justin’s sake, hadn’t she also willingly suffered injustice for so many years? She was the only person in this world who didn’t harbor any thoughts of using Justin and treated him well.
Although she didn’t know why Justin had never made any mention of Pete’s biological mother, these thoughts of hers had never once changed.
Melissa had already recovered from her shock and consternation by now. As expected of someone who had experienced so much in life, the woman had already understood everything during these short few moments.
No wonder Nora had kept in contact with Justin. As it turned out, the father of her children was none other than Justin himself!
Although she didn’t know how Nora and Justin had come to have children, or what exactly had happened back then, what she did know right now was that Mrs. Hunt was obviously unaware that Nora was Pete’s biological mother!
She coughed and asked, “Do you know where Pete’s biological mother is, Mrs. Hunt?”
Mrs. Hunt, however, misunderstood her.
She thought what Melissa meant was—how was Pete going to become close with his biological mother when they didn’t even know where she was?
At once, Mrs. Hunt smiled and replied very meaningfully, “Of course, I do.”
Melissa: “??”
Then, Mrs. Hunt puffed herself up at her own cost and said, “It’s said that mothers and their children share a connection. You should have heard of that saying before, right? You’re also a mother yourself, so you must know how a mother feels toward their children. Although there are some misunderstandings between Justin and her, for the boy’s sake, I think Justin will eventually forgive her.”
She looked at Melissa again after she spoke, and thought of a way to get her to back down. She said, “Of course, if Ms. Smith doesn’t mind, then it’s not a problem.”
Melissa: “…”
The corners of her lips spasmed a little. She suddenly felt very much like laughing.
She asked, “How do you feel about his biological mother, then?”
Mrs. Hunt became domineering this time. She replied, “I don’t care who she is. She deserves my gratitude just for giving birth to such an excellent successor for the Hunts!”
Her words were filled with heartfelt sincerity.
Pete was simply too outstanding. Even his IQ showed signs of surpassing Justin’s!
Melissa glanced at Cherry when she heard what Mrs. Hunt said, and she couldn’t help but laugh. She suddenly felt like it didn’t seem that bad for Nora to marry into the Hunts, either?
Her smile baffled Mrs. Hunt.. “What are you laughing at, Mrs. Anderson?”
Melissa lowered her gaze and hurriedly reined in her smile. “I was just amused, that’s all. These are the Hunts’ private affairs. I shouldn’t be asking about it.”
“Our private affairs?” Mrs. Hunt frowned. “It’s not really just our private affairs anymore, is it? Aren’t Ms. Smith and Justin in a relationship right now?”
Melissa feigned surprise. “Are the two youngsters dating? I really wouldn’t know about that.”
She didn’t know what Nora’s plans were, so there was no way she would agree to any sort of request.
Mrs. Hunt: ??
