Pete was in a huge panic.
It was simply too difficult to find a reasonable answer! Just as all three other people in the room
were staring at him, and while Cherry was frantically giving him looks, Pete suddenly thought of the
bossy CEO-type romance s that he’d chanced upon in the past.
Thus, his next few words came easily to him: “It’s because she ‘couldn’t help it’, and because she
‘couldn’t control her feelings’…”
His words were rather hesitant in the beginning, but the more he spoke, the brighter his eyes shone,
and the more certain he sounded.
He said, “It’s because Mommy likes you! Yes, it’s exactly because of that!”
Nora:”????”
She was about to refute him when Cherry rushed over and grabbed her hand.
She looked at Justin and said, “Daddy, it’s because Mommy likes you so much that she had to do
something like that.
You won’t stop us from seeing Mommy in the future, right?”
Nora: Although they had made her the scapegoat, she did indeed want to know Justin’s opinion on
the matter.
If that scumbag took a step back as a result, it wasn’t like she couldn’t just roll with it, either…
While she was thinking about it, the cold aura around Justin gradually subsided.
He looked at her amicably and asked, “Is what they say, true?”
Nora: She felt that since they had already addressed the matter, she might as well say it all.
But before she could say anything, Cherry nodded repeatedly and said, “It’s true, it’s true! Mommy

you look so cool, handsome, and tender! You’re the world’s number one hunk!”
Nora:”!!”
When had she ever said anything like that?
“Cough.’
Cherry’s words seemed to have given Justin quite the shock, too.
He let out a low cough, looked at Nora, and said, “That’s a little too explicit of you.”
Nora: Never mind.
She would just bear with it.
She had only just quietly suppressed her annoyance when Justin asked, “But since you like me so
much, why don’t you believe in marriage?”
Nora:”?”
Was there no end to that man’s questions? Her brows drew together, and a sharp look flashed
across her eyes.
She sneered, “There’s no correlation between liking someone and getting married, is there,
Mr.Hunt? Who says non-believers of marriage can’t date?”
Upon hearing her sarcasm and the sound of her gnashing her teeth, Justin knew at once that they
had to end it here for today.
Otherwise, once he angered her for real, the chances of them getting together would become even
lower.
This was the very first time in all these years that he had fallen for a woman.
He mustn’t let her run away.
Justin feigned sudden realization and said, “I see.’
Suddenly, Nora asked, “Since you claim that I had pestered you back then, where did I do said
pestering, Mr.Hunt?”
Justin raised his eyebrows.
How would he know?! He didn’t even know how she became pregnant! That night didn’t even exist
in his memory at all, alright?! Regardless, even if he did know, he didn’t know what the woman was
thinking at that moment, so he had deliberately lied.
However, he absolutely mustn’t give her the impression that there were loopholes in his words.
Thus, he smiled and suddenly replied, “In California”
“Which hotel in California was it?”
Justin gave her a seemingly amused look.
“Are you thinking of reliving the moment, Ms.Smith?”
Nora:”!!”
She took another deep breath and tried her best to tell herself, ‘’Remain calm, remain calm.Don’t
get angry”
At last, she said, “Just asking.”
Justin, however, stepped forward.
“The past is in the past, we have to look to the future.You don’t have to keep reminiscing about that
night five years ago, Ms.Smith.If you find it necessary, we can consummate right away.’
Consummate? Pete and Cherry’s eyes lit up at the same time.
But as soon as they wanted to speak, Nora said coldly, “No, it’s fine.”
She gritted her teeth and spat out word after word—”I don’t find that necessary, my! God! Nephew!”
Justin’s face instantly turned green.

Iris and Mrs.Landis popped their heads out and tried their best to listen to the voices downstairs.
Unfortunately, their voices were too low, so they couldn’t hear what they were saying at all.
Iris looked at Mrs.Landis.
“Why does the situation downstairs feel kinda weird?”
“..It feels kinda weird to me, too.Surely there wasn’t some kind of dramatic love-hate relationship
between Mr.Justin and Ms.Smith back then, right? Have they reconciled now? Ma’‘am, don’t you
feel that what happened to Ms.Smith sounds like a tale of a pretty little wife running away with a
babe in her belly?”
“Don’t spout nonsense! Their story is much more exciting than a l!”
Mrs.Landis:”…”
The two listened to the voices downstairs again.
Seeing that nothing seemed to be happening anymore, Mrs.Landis asked, “Should we go
downstairs and get ready for dinner, Ma’am?”
Iris nodded.
“Yeah.Let’s go down and take a look.”
However, as soon as they went downstairs, they saw Nora sitting on the sofa triumphantly with her
arms folded.
There was a small smile on her usually cool and distant countenance.
Justin, on the other hand, looked livid.
Clearly, Nora seemed to have won the confrontation just now, Mrs.Landis coughed and called out,
“Ms.Smith, Mr.Hunt, and the two little misters.Shall we have dinner?”
Nora got up.
“Sure.I just so happen to have gotten hungry.”
