Chapter 257: How Did She Become Pregnant Back Then?

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.

Upstairs.

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 novel!”

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.”

After speaking, she looked at Iris and asked, “Let’s have dinner, Sis?”

Iris: “?”

Why did it suddenly feel like the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees when she said the word ‘Sis’?


She looked at Justin, who was pulling a long face, and the corners of her lips spasmed. She coughed and said, “Um, I didn’t know about your relationship with Justin previously. Considering the situation now, we…”

“These are two separate matters,” Nora replied casually but surely, “We’ll keep the terms of address separate in the future. Mr. Hunt won’t mind, right?”

Justin replied, “… No, I don’t.”

Iris: “…”

The group settled at the dining table.

Pete and Cherry sat next to each other. When they looked at the tyrant and Mommy sitting at the same dining table, they suddenly felt much more blissful than usual!

Unfortunately, the adults didn’t feel that sense of bliss at all.

After they finally finished dinner and the group left, Justin asked coldly, “So, Pete goes with you? And the daughter comes with me?”

Nora breathed a sigh of relief at his words.

At least that guy didn’t ask for both children.

Otherwise, she would really explode.

What kind of horrible evening was this? She felt so frustrated!

She had never felt this frustrated in her entire life!

She nodded. “That works.”

She took Pete’s hand after she spoke. When she was about to leave, she paused and looked back at Iris. “Don’t tell anyone else about this for now, Sis.”

Justin paused. He was also about to tell Iris that, but unexpectedly, Nora had done it a step ahead of him.

Thus, he decided not to say anything.

It wasn’t convenient for so many people to protect Pete while he was with Nora. Therefore, the children’s identities indeed had to be kept secret.

Iris nodded.

While on the way home with Pete, Nora suddenly received a text message on her cell phone.

She glanced at it when she reached a red light, but the moment she did, she suddenly froze.

The text message read: ‘Do you wanna know how exactly you became pregnant back then?’
