Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
John shut his mouth immediately. “I’ve spoken out of turn, Ma’am.”
Queenie lowered her eyes and entered the living room. She casually picked up a glass of red wine from the table and went up the stairs swirling the wine in the glass. This time, though, she did not enter the bedroom but looked at the room that had been sealed for a long time.
She cast her eyes down. Suddenly, she stepped forward and opened the door.
In the room were some shelves, on which were placed some boxes containing all sorts of treasures.
On the innermost wall hung an enshrined black and white photo.
In the photo was a woman in her twenties. She had a bright smile on her face, but everyone knew that this woman had been dead for many years.
Queenie walked forward. As she did, her hips swayed from side to side, as did the red wine glass in her hand.
She went up to the photo, and then, poured the red wine onto the ground.
“Daddy, have you not been watching my live-streams lately? You haven’t been tipping me at all! Sponsor Grandpa has become the No. 1 patron now.”
Cherry stretched out her chubby fingers and showed off while speaking coquettishly in her young and tender voice, “Grandpa and I make video calls every day! But you disappeared for a month and didn’t look for me even once! Cherry is mad!”
After speaking, she placed her hands on her hips and turned her back to Justin. Her big dark eyes, though, were darting left and right erratically. Justin rubbed his daughter’s head and said, “I’ve been busy with something really important. What can I do to appease Cherry?” Cherry blinked and then grinned at him. “Help me get my game account back! If you make it one without a time limit, I won’t be mad at you anymore! Otherwise, Cherry will be really sad because she’s thinking of you every day but doesn’t have games to kill time with!”
Cherry had ADHD in the past, so Nora had allowed her to play games.
But Nora had recently noticed that Cherry’s two elder brothers’ presence had helped her overcome the disorder, so Nora had disabled her unlimited access game account.
It wasn’t advisable for minors to play games for too many hours a day.
But because Cherry liked the game, she had pestered Justin to remove the time limit on the account, which Nora changed back later.
As a result, Cherry could only play for an hour a day.
Upon hearing what Cherry said, a pampering look filled Justin’s eyes and he said, “You not only say that you’re mad at me but also that you miss me a lot, but in the end, it’s all just for the game account, isn’t it?”
Cherry turned around and wheedled cutely, “But I’m really bored. After playing for an hour, I spend the remaining 23 hours missing you!”
“What nonsense.”
Next to her, Pete exposed her lie straightaway. “You still have to sleep for ten hours a day!”
Cherry: “?”
She raised her chin. “I miss Daddy in my dreams when I sleep!”
Pete went on and said dryly, “But what you said in your sleep was: ‘Team battle time! Go! Wipe! Wipe!”
“…Even so, there are still thirteen hours left for me to miss Daddy!” retorted Cherry.
From the side, Xander also said, “You always take your sweet time when you eat, so you take at least four hours to finish all three meals a day.” Cherry: “?”
“I-I think about Daddy when I eat!” Xander said, “But what you said was: ‘Now that I don’t have games to play, even the food doesn’t taste good anymore. Why isn’t the day over yet? I wanna play games…”
“Oh, you also spend four hours watching other people’s live-streams…”
“You also spend time savoring every detail of the team battle and ramble at me for two hours, and then at Xander for another two…”
“You also spend time regretting that you didn’t diss others in a wittier manner when you were playing…”
“You also spend time pestering Mommy to release the child restrictions for you…”
“You also…”
Her two elder brothers thoroughly exposed her.
Cherry’s eyes were damp with tears. “Pete! Xander! You two are horrible!”
Pete said, “Stop playing games and do some Mathematical Olympiad practice instead!”
Xander said, “Or come and study dissection with me? Human anatomy is very interesting…”
Justin couldn’t bear to see his precious daughter being bullied. He picked up Cherry and said, “Is that how the two of you should be treating your younger sister? Alright, hush, Cherry…” “Can Daddy remove the child restrictions for me then?”
“I’ll have to ask your mom about that…”
Nora stood at the side. As she listened to the four of them chit-chat, she raised her head and looked at the upper floor.
That mysterious room had been opened, and her aunt was inside.
No one knew what she was looking at. As Nora thought back to what Trueman had said, she heaved a silent sigh.
Her aunt always said that she would let Nora see the things in that room when the time was right, and when that happened, her aunt’s identity would also be revealed. But when would it ever be the time?
While Nora was musing, her cell phone suddenly rang. When she answered, Ian’s voice came from the other end.
“Nora, I think I know who your aunt is!”
Nora’s pupils shrank. “Who is she?”
“I’m about to board my flight. I’ll tell you when I get there.”
When he got here?
Ian was flying over? For Ian to become so excited that he would come over in person, just who on earth was Queenie??
Nora didn’t hang up but asked, “Who is she?” Ian kept quiet for a while. “I can’t say it over the phone.”
This was because he feared that someone could be monitoring their cell phones. Even if Nora was Q, the top hacker in the world, there was no guarantee that no one would be monitoring them. Moreover, even if Nora could guarantee that her cell phone wouldn’t be hacked, could they guarantee the same for Ian?
Not only was she in another country, but the phone call was also an international long-distance one. Could she guarantee that the international communications signal would not be hacked?
Nora could only nod and say, “Alright, I’ll pick you up in eight hours.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Nora sank into contemplation for a long while.
At this point, Queenie came down the stairs drunkenly and asked, “How are things with Barbarian?”
Brenda had wholly taken over the task of arresting Barbarian. The Queen was still unable to accept the fact that he was a murderer, so she had chosen to remain silent on the matter.
Nora sighed. “Barbarian indeed lives up to his name of being the embodiment of the human limits. Despite the intensive attempts to catch him, he still managed to escape… He’s nowhere to be found now.”
Queenie nodded. Suddenly, she asked, “Was that Ian Smith calling just now?”
Nora nodded, surprised by her perceptivity. In order to avoid people eavesdropping on her phone calls, her cell phone’s volume was set very low. Even so, she’d still heard them?
Seemingly noticing her puzzled look, Queenie smiled and said, “You called him ‘Dad’.”
“… Really?”
Nora became doubtful instead.
As it easily exposed the other party’s identity, she rarely greeted someone by name immediately after answering the phone, unless she was in a very safe place and the other party’s identity was not a sensitive one.
Queenie didn’t plan on speaking any further, though. Instead, she swirled the wine in her glass. Her delicate face was ruddy, and her cheeks were already red.
She said, “In that case, I’ll go upstairs to rest for now…”
She had only taken a couple of steps when Cherry grabbed her. She said, “Grandaunt Queenie, are you going to drink again? Don’t drink anymore. Come and play with Cherry instead! It’s been really long since we last played together.” Queenie raised her eyebrows. “Do you actually remember your grandaunt’s existence when your father, whom you’ve been thinking of this whole time, is already here?” Cherry grinned and pushed Justin toward Nora. “But I can’t hog Daddy. He ought to spend more time with Mommy too. Besides, they may have a lot to talk about!” After all, Pete had said that they should let their parents bond with each other so that they wouldn’t separate in the future. This way, the triplets would be together forever!
Therefore, even though she really loved her father, she’d better still leave him to her mother instead!
Displeasure filled Queenie’s expression. “Are you only looking for me because your dad is not around? I’m not going to be your backup
plan…”
Though she said that, she followed Cherry to the side.
Justin walked over to Nora and the two sat on the sofa.
Justin looked at Queenie, who was holding Cherry’s hand. One was elegant and noble while the other was charming and adorable. The two looked extremely harmonious together.
Justin remarked, “Aunt Queenie seems to really like Cherry, huh?”
“… ‘Aunt Queenie’?”
A puzzled Nora asked when she heard the guy suddenly addressing her aunt in a different manner.
Justin smiled and replied, “Since she’s your aunt, then that makes her my aunt too, right?”
The guy sure was flirting with her every moment of the day.
