Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Nora was very pleased with this.
Thus, whenever she asked after Justin during their chat, she didn’t mind letting him speak with the Queen. She handed the cell phone to Justin.
Hello? Justin said.
Hello, Justin. How have you been?
I’m doing pretty well. Still as loving a couple with my wife as always; no arguments whatsoever.
…
Do you need anything else? Or do you want to hear about what we have been up to lately?
… Beep… beep… beep…
Did he think that the Queen didn’t have a temper or what? Who would want to listen to him show off how loving a couple he was with his wife?!
Justin raised his brows and returned the cell phone to Nora. Then, he asked, “Can you bear to part with Xander, though?”
No, Nora answered, “But it’s not certain who’s ultimately going to go home with who just yet!”
Surprised, Justin asked, “What do you mean?”
Well, Lucy’s pretty cute. Since her elder sister will be inheriting the throne, there’s not much point in her staying in the UK. She might as well come to the States, then.
Justin: “????”
A few days later, the submarine finally arrived at a coastal area in the United States.
When the submarine emerged from the sea and docked, Morris’ men, whom Nora had contacted beforehand, were already waiting for them onshore. They would be escorting the researchers back to their hometowns.
United with their families, the researchers turned their heads back and gave Nora looks of gratitude.
Any words for them, Mom? Peter asked.
Nora: “?”
After a moment’s thought, she straightened her expression and only said one line: “Welcome home.”
Nora didn’t just stop at saving the researchers; she also told Peter to spread a piece of news:
Should people find themselves in similar situations abroad, they could approach Karl’s security agency for help to go back home. They would help to pick them up and send them home.
Peter did a great job at the task.
He was extremely popular among the international students, after all.
Now that Peter was back, he didn’t plan on leaving the country anymore. Instead, he took over the Hunt Corporation.
On the day that he officially became the head of the Hunt Corporation, his family held a handover ceremony at home. As a show of support, the Smiths all came over as well.
Ian could now walk by himself and didn’t have to rely on a wheelchair anymore. With a walking stick in hand, he patted Peter on the shoulder and said, “You’re even more capable than Grandpa! Back then, Grandpa only managed to take over the company in his twenties!”
Next to them, Alexander said jokingly, “He’s so envious of you, though.”
A smiling Ian asked, “Why?”
Because you have such awesome grandchildren! And three of them at that!
Ian: “…”
Peter: “…”
The lad had not only praised Peter but also himself. What a cocky little narcissist he was!
Peter looked at him with a smile. “You’re heading to the UK tomorrow, right?”
Yeah. What about it? Are you gonna miss me? Come on, we’re brothers. Don’t be a sissy and go crying your eyes out now!
Alexander said dismissively.
… I just wanted to tell you to bring that person home soon, replied Peter.
That person? Who?
Alexander was perplexed.
A mysterious smile graced Peter’s lips and he said, “Nah, it’s nothing important.”
He mustn’t give away his mom’s intentions so casually.
Seeing his reaction, Alexander rolled his eyes and said, “Ugh, you’re being cryptic again.”
After saying that, he turned his head to the side, where he saw Mia dozing on the sofa beside them. He couldn’t help but nod in her direction at Peter. Then, he walked over. Just as he was about to play a prank on Mia from the back, Peter caught hold of his outstretched arm.
What are you doing? asked Alexander.
Peter replied, “She hasn’t been getting enough sleep because she’s doing a lot of practice papers every day. Now that she can finally relax a little tonight, you shouldn’t disturb her.”
I just wanted to tease her a little. What are you being so protective for? Alexander said.
Protective?
Peter coughed and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. Isn’t she your younger cousin too?”
Alexander pursed his lips and said, “She is, but she’s always been weak and frail since she was little, so she’s really boring and no fun at all.”
… Lucy isn’t, said Peter.
That little princess had been as strong and healthy as Cherry since she was little!
Alexander grinned and said, “I know. Wait for it; once I go over, I’m going to bully her.”
Peter: “?”
Alexander raised his brows and said, “Once I bully her and make her cry, she’ll go whining to the Queen. And once she does, the Queen will release me immediately, no?”
…
Peter gave him a smile that screamed “Good luck, pal”.
However, Alexander, who didn’t get it, turned and left instead.
After he left, Peter got ready to leave too. But just as he did, he noticed Mia’s lashes quivering, which surprised him a little.
Since their return to the country, both of them had been in New York the whole time. However, Mia hadn’t approached him even once. Even when the two families met for meals, she would always use the excuse of studying to skip the gatherings.
This was their first time meeting since their return.
Are you awake? He asked.
Mia opened her eyes. Suddenly, she lowered her head and asked, “Am I useless, Pete?”
Peter immediately understood what she was saying.
During the operation last time, she hadn’t been able to help with anything at all. From the start to the end, all she did was escape obediently. This made Mia feel horribly disheartened.
She felt like she was an utter failure who was completely useless, and she felt like she wasn’t worthy of liking Pete at all.
That was why she didn’t even dare to bring herself to meet him recently.
On top of that, she was even harboring those feelings for him…
