She Became Glamorous After the Engagement Annulment - Part2

Chapter 246: God-Sisters!

Iris got up at once. “Really? Why don’t you take me to him? As his god… aunt, I should visit him, too!”

Nora, “…”

She thought of how Pete kept trying to hide, and knew right away that he might know the lady in front of her, and didn’t wish to meet with her just yet. Thus, she said, “Forget it. He’s shy.”

Iris didn’t force it, either. “Alright. I’ll let you meet my son the next time you’re here, God-sis!”

Nora smiled and got up. “Sure. It’s getting late, I have to go back.”

Iris sent her off.

When the two reached the door, Nora suddenly stood still and looked back at her. She said, “Sis, sometimes, what matters the most between two people is actually trust. You may be protecting your son in your way, but what if your son doesn’t need you to protect him anymore?”

Iris froze in place, stunned.

The girl in front of her was simply so perceptive. She hadn’t mentioned even a word about what had led to the current situation at all, but only talked briefly about how she interacted with her son, yet she had actually guessed it!

She stared at Nora blankly.

Nora lowered her gaze, nodded at her, and left.

Iris balled up her fists tightly as she stared at the girl’s thin and frail form.

At some point, Mrs. Landis came up behind her and said, “Ms. Smith is right, Ma’am… You have already made such sacrifices for so many years. It’s time to tell Mr. Justin the truth! He now oversees the Hunts, and is no longer the boy who needed your protection back then…”

A dazed Iris turned around and looked at Mrs. Landis. In the end, she heaved a sigh. “Even if I tell him now, would he be willing to believe me?”

Mrs. Landis was stunned.

In order to keep her distance from Justin, Iris had always treated him very coldly and distantly for the past two decades.

How could two decades of estrangement possibly be easily explained with just a few words?

Mrs. Landis sighed.

Iris turned and went back to the room. “I’ve already spent more than twenty years like this. Why bother creating trouble for him now?”

Mrs. Landis stayed silent for a long time as she stared at Iris from the back.

To be honest, Ma’am also yearned for Justin’s forgiveness, didn’t she?

It was just that she wasn’t willing to tell him about it, nor did she know how to. In fact, she had already become accustomed to speaking coldly over the years and didn’t know how to speak warmly to anyone anymore.

Mrs. Landis lowered her head.

Nora brought Pete into the car after she returned to Tanya’s.

Tanya saw the two of them off reluctantly. “Don’t go, guys. This place is so big, but I’m the only one here… I’m scared.”

Nora raised her brows. “How about coming to the Andersons’ with us, then?”

Tanya, “?”

She had officially moved in today, why would she move out again and follow them back?

The corners of her lips spasmed a little, and she finally let go of the car door. She looked at Nora and said, “Damn, you’re so heartless! Besides, what’s so good about the Andersons’ that you simply have to go back?”

Nora yawned. “The bed there is pretty good.”

“…”

After seeing the two of them off, a very resentful Tanya went back to her villa.

After watching Tanya enter the villa in the rearview mirror, Pete finally asked, “Mommy, how was your chat with Gr… with the lady living next door?”

Grandma was really weird. Surely she didn’t bully Mommy, right?

As soon as he thought so, Nora replied, “Well, we hit it off really well. We are now god-sisters, so she’s your god-aunt from now on.”

Pete was full of question marks when he heard her: ????

How did Grandma become his aunt?!

What had happened between Mommy and Grandma?!

While Pete was filled with self-doubt, the car returned to the Andersons’.

After parking, Nora got out of the car with her cell phone. She completely ignored Pete at the back, who was hopping off the tall car and then tiptoeing to close the door.

She was replying to her newly-gained god-sister’s text message: ‘I am home.’

Iris: ‘Good to know you got home safely. I’m very happy to meet you.’

Nora paused.. Then, she suddenly smiled and wrote: ‘By the way, my name is Nora Smith.’
