Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
Therefore, she was really afraid that because of Nora, who was related to her brothers by blood, she would lose her favor.
Hearing Warren’s words, she was relieved.
She sighed and comforted him again. “Warren, even so, since she has moved here, we can’t let her starve. We can’t throw the food away.”
Warren immediately said angrily, “You’re right. Even if a stray cat or dog comes to our house, it’s still a member of the Smiths. We definitely can’t let her starve.”
With that, he instructed the nanny in the most ruthless manner, “Go, save that portion of Australian lobster for her. There’s also top-grade steak. By the way, she might not like Western food. Prepare some bird’s nest porridge and little buns for her. I remember that our pan-fried buns are the best. Wrap them up for her too. When she wakes up, cook them. The freshly cooked ones are the best! Then let her choose. I want her to die from overeating!”
The nanny: …
Yvonne: …
Nora, who was preparing to go downstairs: ???
Yvonne’s expression changed. She had always known that her brother Warren did not know how to speak, and he would often say one thing but mean another. She clenched her fists tightly and lowered her eyes. “Warren that’s too much food. It won’t be good if it’s wasted.”
Warren hesitated for a moment. “She’s not a fool. Would she really eat them all? Forget it. I’ll leave some for her. I’ll see what she likes to eat and prepare them tomorrow.”
With that, he hurriedly clarified. “I’m not doing this for her good. I’m showing her how powerful Smiths are. I’m also showing her the delicacies of the Smiths so that she won’t wolf down the delicious food outside and lose our face!”
Yvonne: “…”
Warren did not think that he had said anything wrong. In his mind, he saw Nora wolfing down the cake at the Hunts’ banquet. At that time, Mr. Hunt had been watching from the side and his mouth had even twitched.
He must have been criticizing this girl in his heart for not being presentable!
How could he let anyone look down on the daughter of the Smiths?
As he was thinking about this, there was suddenly a knock on the door. Immediately, a few people walked in with hot dishes.
The butler followed in. “Sir Warren, this is the supper Mr. Hunt had reserved for Miss Smith. He said that Miss Smith has already woken up and asked us to send it in.”
Warren: ???
Nora, who was upstairs: ???
Looking at the huge plate of food, her lips twitched.
Justin, do you think I’m a pig?!
The dining table was quickly filled.
Warren also saw Nora, who was preparing to come downstairs.
He instantly straightened his back and raised his neck. He pretended not to look at her, but he kept paying attention to her from the corner of his eye.
If this person came over to greet him, he would definitely ignore her and tell her not to think that he would recognize her as a sister just because she called him Brother!
Uncle Ian controlled the entire family. Uncle Ian’s family was the direct line of descent. The other brothers, including him, were all from the side family!
As for Nora, she was even further away!
After all, the hatred of snatching someone’s wife was too intense!
Anyway, he was sent by his Uncle Ian. He would definitely not be coaxed by his sister!
Just as he was saying this to himself, he saw Nora walking down slowly from upstairs. She walked past him and went to the dining room without saying anything.
Warren: ???
Hey, was she blind? He was a living person. Can’t she see him?
Warren was so angry that he wanted to go forward and argue, but Yvonne grabbed his hand. “Warren, you, don’t lower yourself to her level…”
Warren snorted coldly. “I don’t care about her. I’m just not full yet! Go to the kitchen and see what else is there to eat!”
Yvonne: “…”
Nora ignored the two of them. She could feel Yvonne’s inexplicable hostility toward her. As for Warren… he had schemed against her in the Hunts. It was already good enough that she did not settle scores with him. How could she still greet him?
She sat at the dining table and was not picky about what she ate.
The food she ate was only for her to fill her stomach. Deliciousness was never within her considerations.
Seeing that she looked like the reincarnation of a hungry ghost as she wolfed down a plate of steamed crayfish, Warren couldn’t help but feel indignant.
He entered the kitchen casually and took out the prepared Australian lobster. He placed it on the table and sighed. “This Australian lobster is too delicious!”
What was so good about the food sent by the Hunts? Was it better than the Smiths?
Hurry up and throw away that small lobster that does not have much meat. Come and try the Smiths’ lobster! It’s filled with meat!
Unfortunately, Nora acted as if she did not hear him. She took another plate of noodles and finished it in a few bites.
The way she ate was fast and plentiful, but the sound of her eating was very soft. Whatever it was, she stuffed it into her mouth in big bites and chewed quickly before swallowing it.
Eating like this put pressure on her stomach.
At the thought of this, Warren said, “Hey, can’t you eat more elegantly? Can’t you be a little nobler like the eldest daughter of the Smiths? You look like you haven’t eaten in 800 years.”
Nora: “…”
A plate of crayfish and a plate of noodles were soon gulped down by her. She took out a tissue and wiped her mouth before throwing it into the trash can. Then, she stood up and looked around before asking with a hoarse voice, “Where’s Cherry?”
The housekeeper glanced at her and lowered her head to answer, “In Little Miss’s room. She’s going to sleep with Little Miss tonight.”
The housekeeper looked up at Nora and added, “She took a liking to Little Miss’s princess bed and insisted on staying there.”
With that, she pursed his lips.
Not only that, but she had also deceived Little Miss into taking out many princess gowns to share with her. This little child was so scheming!
Nora seemed not to have heard her answer. She asked again, “Where is Mia’s room?”
“Turn left on the second floor, the third room.”
Nora nodded and went upstairs.
After she left, the housekeeper instructed the nanny to take out a cloth and carefully wipe the spot where she had sat before saying, “Take this cutlery and disinfect it.”
Warren did not care about her actions. After all, he did not even know how the nannies washed the dishes. Moreover, it was normal for the items in the house to be disinfected.
Yvonne raised her brows.
New Book: Returned To Make Them Pay
On her wedding anniversary, Alicia is drugged and stumbles into the wrong room—straight into the arms of the powerful Caden Ward, a man rumored never to touch women. Their night of passion shocks even him, especially when he discovers she’s still a virgin after two years of marriage to Joshua Yates.
Oosh.. stuck up Smiths aka Yvonne and Warren.. I got a feeling they’ll be getting into really big trouble very soon LOL.. Joel and Ian are not going to take this lightly.. the actions of Warren and Yvonne are rude and unnecessarily cruel. They act like it is Nora’s fault for everything that has happened. 😆 Girl will end up making them pay eventually.
I keep refraining from writing because I feel like I’m getting to the end and it would be great to be able to write a comprehensive review. When twists come along you want to be able to compare them.
Since I don’t know how close I am to an ending, I’m going to do a review on what I’ve read so far.
The author has impressed me very much.
I’m quite impressed, so far the story has been interesting. The writer has borrowed from some famous stories but has put enough of a twist and presentation that they are fresh.
One thing most readers don’t like formula. Nothing that makes the plot feel like a redo.
No one wants anything that seems identical, or predictable. One of the biggest things I’ve appreciated of this writing is that it has an intelligent way of working a Romance Novel.
Traditionally the Romance Genre is short, usually improbable ways their characters hook up, and throws the two together almost immediately. The writer of Saving Nora was written well in some places perfect. The characters are filled out well, even the ancillary characters have depth. The author has paid attention with the imagery that makes the story rich.
I do have a few comments that are meant to be future suggestions in writing and not meant to be complaints, just things to look for.
I stumbled upon this book. A YouTube video that showed a lady decorating a cake was reading the start of the story as she was demonstrating the decorating. She stopped at a point where it wasn’t a stopping point. It made me want to finish the story. She had left a link to where I could read the rest. The problem was I could only read a page each day. A person needed points. I’m old and I couldn’t figure out how to get points. So I looked up the author and found this version.
I would like to get a printed paper back version of the completed story. With proper grammar, punctuation, spelling, and formatting. I realized that this copy is a draft. Because of it I don’t want to be critical of it, only add some suggestions.
I liked the name Athena much better than Anti, I imagine the final copy is amazing.
I’m just to the part of Nora and Cherry moving to the Smith’s. So bear with me, you may have already addressed my concerns in chapters ahead. That’s why I prefer to review at the end. In the other copy I only got as far as Norah being discovered as the long lost sister of Mr. Anderson. The beginning was solid, but when I moved to this copy things started to fall apart.
In the beginning the characters were in the United States, and they were American. Even the start at the Anderson’s was going good. It’s when you changed the cultural identity of your characters that the story stopped making sense.
I started noticing a lot of things that made absolutely no sense if the characters were Americans. I thought the Asian cultural influence was centered around Martial Arts Academy and Mr. Quinn. Quinn didn’t strike me as an Asian name the way his actions were written I started seeing him as an elderly Asian man.
It just increasingly became more and more Asian writing, which got confusing because the characters were supposed to be American.
The titles reinforced the actions that the story was being told in an Asian voice. In the states it would be weird to call someone who isn’t biologically related to you Grandmother, Grandfather, Aunt, Uncle, Cousin Brother, Sister, etc.. Sometimes with children if there’s a close friend of either parents where they are close enough that they might have the kids call them aunt or uncle, same with elderly friends the kids might call them grandma or grandpa.
So Cherry calling Mr. Quinn Grandpa Quinn wouldn’t be out of the ordinary.
To be a Godparent can mean 2 things. The first is for religious reasons. In some Christian churches children are baptized as babies. A Godmother and Godfather are the 2 people that the parents choose, they are supposed to help the children with their spiritual growth. Not all Christian churches do this, they wait until the child is old enough to understand the teachings of Jesus and the concepts of who he is and the relationship with God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. When they understand it’s up to them to decide if they want to commit their life to Jesus and be saved.
The 2nd way to use the term of God parent is the couple you want to raise your children if both parents die. The religious Godparents don’t have to be a couple, usually each parent picks someone, a close friend, a sibling, a cousin. When choosing Godparents as the couple who will raise your children if you both die it can be a sibling and their spouse, it can be a very trusted and loved friend that has been in the child/children’s lives and they are very familiar with them.
God Sister, God Uncle, God Aunt, God Grandparents isn’t a thing in American culture.
I’ve not seen any Martial Arts Studio that have a two group system, one in and one out. I’m not saying they might exist, but so far the ones I know about don’t have students sign up for life. It just depends on the person and circumstances. Example my son started at 4, but we moved away at 10 and when we moved back he was able to start again, but he didn’t automatically start at his last belt, he had to test and be evaluated at what level he was then. I’m thinking it’s probably different in the states.
I don’t think you have a grasp of the Mafia in the states. I don’t either, just what I’ve seen in the movies. Which reminds me, there’s a 3rd type of Godfather. If the movies got it correct the Italian Mafia has a leader to whom other Italian families are related or work for. They have a hierarchy, the top guy is the Godfather.
My suggestion is if you want to fix your underground look at the culture that you want them to be. It’s primarily on the Eastern side of the country. I don’t think it’s as big as it was in the 1900-1940s. In the 1980s the news mentioned it but it was a very small group. It might be extinct. Crime groups that are trending as being a problem is the cartels in Mexico. I can only imagine them operating at the border and maybe spotty places in Florida.
I wanted to mention that the division of men and women isn’t that wide. Some of the people in your story act like they are from a different time. Even in wealthy families nowadays arranged marriages isn’t a thing. I imagine they hang with people of the same economic bracket so they would end up marrying in their social strata. The big Industrial families that made the United States what it became not all have survived, too many children, grandchildren and so on made the family fortunes small unless each created wealth of their own. I imagine there may still be of the “new old money” (the first old money people moved here from Europe and Britain. The new old money were the industrialist.). What is around now are the new new money, those who got in on the tech boom in it’s infancy.
I’m sorry if it seems like I’m picking your story apart. As I’m reading I’m seeing a really good story, but a lot of bouncing around between cultures and time-frames. This would be a story worth a sellable novel if it was centered around one culture and one point in time. If you want to have more than one culture represented create some characters to be of that culture. You are doing a great job about other lines and relationships if you could do the same thing with cross cultural interactions and relationships it would work better.
Sorry more picking. You need to know more about how different disciplines within a University in the US. Example, no undergraduate student would already be in a medical program. They would have to do their undergrad in a science related field, biology is one a lot of students choose. Then they would go into their medical training, so 4 years undergrad, 4 more in medical school, and after that they would do an internship at a teaching hospital. They wouldn’t start in medical school as an undergrad and wouldn’t do a post doc .
A pharmacologist would finish a 4 year undergrad, probably would major in Chemistry, do a 2 year pharmacology program (grad school) and then a post doctoral program. Same with a Chemist, both undergrad and grad programs in Chemistry and a postdoc. Since Nora is interested in both medicine and pharmacology, particularly the integration of herbals it would likely be that she would have received duel degrees. The undergrad would be Chemistry and Biology double major, then a 2 year graduate program in Organic Chemistry (organic chemists are the ones that take the organic and synthesizes making a chemical compound identical to the properties of the organic. I think they would do that rather than do both organics and chemicals. Reason being is the cost of organics. Nature can’t produce enough ingredients, that’s the reason chemistry is what is used in pharmacology. To use the herbs and other natural compounds would be too costly and the amount of use could easily cause the extinction of the plants. All chemical medicine is based on a natural version.
Oops sorry I also forgot one last thing. The name Smith is the most common name in the United States. So the people wouldn’t necessarily think that Nora would be the same Smith as Ian Smith. Nora’s mom had a whole lot of people she could have chosen named
Smith.
Uncommon last names Pomeroy, Bickerstaff, Wyldewood,to name a few.
