Nora

Chapter 25:.

If her memory did not fail her, the first time they met, he had warned her to stay away from his son. The day before, when they were at the cinema, he had also given her another warning.

Had the man suddenly gone mad?

Seeing her surprised, a somewhat uncomfortable look appeared on Justin’s face.

To get close to him, that woman had gone out of her way to get Pete’s approval. Therefore, he would never miss this opportunity!

He was thinking about it when he saw Nora lower her gaze coolly. “You must be mistaken, Mr. Hunt. I’m not a childcare teacher. Nor do I have fantasies about you.”

Justin paused.

Nora took a step forward. With an impetus that did not lose to his at any point, she said, “Also, if the hospital really wants to hold me responsible, please contact my lawyer.”

After saying that, he covered his mouth, yawned, walked quietly past Justin and out of the operating room.

How could she have time to play with a little boy? The most important thing now was to get home quickly and go to sleep.

Even Justin had no right to stop people on a whim.

If he couldn’t find Anti, the only thing he could do was to set them free.

In the car on the way back to the hotel, Lawrence complained, “Can Anti be an eel? Why is he so elusive? How could he have gotten out when I was obviously standing guard outside?”

Justin, who was in the back seat, replied, “There are three possible explanations. One, our information was wrong and Anti is blonde. Two, Anti has very good moves and managed to escape, but this is unlikely.”

“Yes, we have surrounded the area with heavy security. Unless the hospital has a subway tunnel or she can fly, there is no way she can get out.” Lawrence then asked, “What’s the third possibility?”

Justin was silent. Then, he turned and looked out of the car, then slowly said, “Nora Smith is Anti.”

The corners of Lawrence’s lips tightened slightly. “Compared to that, I prefer to believe the second one. We’ve already thoroughly vetted Miss Smith. Someone who hasn’t even been to school can’t be Anti. Speaking of her, however, it turned out that she was the one who sent the email to Anti. That’s why Anti had come. No wonder she was always so calm when her aunt’s operation was mentioned. It turned out it was because she had complete confidence…”

Justin pursed his lips tightly and frowned. Then he suddenly said, “Find somewhere we can buy a Barbie.”

In the stairwell on the top floor of the Finest Hotel, the two children had met furtively.

An aggrieved Cherry complained, “It’s been two days since I’ve played, Pete! Dad’s too strict. He won’t let me use the cell phone.”

Pete replied, “Let’s switch for now.”

Cherry nodded. “Yes, yes, yes! Let’s switch back when I’ve played my games for a day!”

“Yes.”

Cherry sighed. “Dad really hates Mom, Pete, what should we do?”noveldrama

Pete frowned. After pondering for a while, he said, “If the soft approach doesn’t work, then let’s try the hard approach.”

Cherry’s eyes lit up. “What kind of hard approach?”

The two little ones put their heads together and argued for a long while before finally parting reluctantly.

Before leaving, Cherry blinked and said triumphantly, “By the way, the Doctor gave me an IQ test today. My IQ is really high! The doctor rewarded me, and even Dad was speechless with amazement!”.

Mom had also let her do something similar before, and had even praised her and called her a genius.

Today she had made her brother proud!

Pete, who believed her again, praised her. “You’re amazing.”

He went back into the room. She was about to go into the study and spend some time reviewing when she heard the door open. Justin came in with long strides.

He took off his coat. Then he walked over and said, “Don’t be mad anymore, Pete. Look at the toy Dad bought you.”

Pete’s eyes lit up.

The tyrant always urged him to study every day and rarely let him play. Had he really bought him toys today?

Then, he saw Justin approach with a big pink Barbie and place it on his desk.

A question mark slowly reappeared in Pete’s mind.

Seeing that his son wasn’t reacting, Justin figured he was still angry and asked softly, “Will Daddy play with you?”

Pete stared at him with an indescribable expression. “…”

Seeing him finally react, Justin plucked up his courage and suggested, “Let’s go comb Barbie’s hair and change her.”

He opened the packaging of Barbie’s box and took out the doll. However, after grabbing a lock of hair, his fingers – which were extremely nimble and flexible while playing the piano – froze.

“…”

With a constipated expression, Justin looked at his son and asked, “Do you know how to braid a braid, Pete?”

Pete was speechless.

After the two stared at each other for a long moment, Pete finally slowly uttered, “…This is really stupid.”

Justin’s face instantly darkened. For some reason, his son’s calm, unflappable expression made him unable to control his anger. “I’m doing all this for you!”

Pete lowered his head and opened the book, ignoring it completely.

Justin was surprised.

Then he stared at the question his son was staring at. The question was beyond Pete’s current syllabus, so he asked him, “Can you understand such a difficult question when you don’t even have a solid grasp of the basics?”

Pete raised his head and looked at him again. What part of this simple question was difficult?

The tyrant’s behavior today was simply a mystery.

He said coldly, “Don’t bother me when I’m studying.”

“…”

Justin was speechless at how his son acted as if he fully understood the question when he clearly couldn’t figure it out, and said, “Fine, do whatever you want!”.

He would see for himself how long Pete could keep up the pretense!

After dinner, a perplexed Justin sat in the den.

It was obvious that his son had been behaving very adorably, so why had he suddenly become reserved and taciturn?

Although he seemed more normal now, for some inexplicable reason, Justin missed the way he had cajoled, how animated and quick-witted he had been before.

He picked up his cell phone and immediately called the family doctor. He asked, “Why does Pete’s personality change back and forth?”

The doctor thought for a while and replied, “Maybe something had triggered him before, causing his personality to change.”

A trigger? What could have triggered it?

Could it be that woman?

Downstairs.

Nora took a bath and fell sound asleep as soon as she returned.

Cell phone in hand, Cherry sat on the couch and played with Chester.

Chester was as talkative as ever as they played. He said, “Have you been arguing with Justin again? That behavior doesn’t work with him, why don’t you pay attention to him? Also, Justin didn’t manage to find Dr. Anti today, so he’s in a bad mood. Aren’t you asking for it by doing that?”

He was looking for Dr. Anti?

Cherry was stunned. She looked at the bed in the bedroom and asked, “Chesty, why is Dad looking for Anti?”

Chester replied, “Isn’t it obvious? It’s because of you…”

Before he finished, the doorbell rang.

Mrs. Lewis was busy in the kitchen, so Cherry jumped off the couch and headed for the door. She didn’t think much of it and opened the door right away.

Justin was at that moment in front of the door. He wanted to try to ask Nora again to come upstairs to watch his son.

He got ready to speak when the door opened, to see Cherry right away.
