Mrs. Hunt’s thoughts were simple.
Children were the ones who held their mothers back the most. As long as she took the two children away, she would not have to worry about Nora not coming to their house! However, she did not expect there to be no movement behind her after she spoke.
She turned around and saw Pete and Cherry looking at her in a daze, while Justin’s mouth was pursed. Mrs. Hunt was stunned. “Justin, what are you waiting for? Carry the child! Look at how sleepy Cherry is…”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Ian’s voice. “Mrs. Hunt, we just said that Cherry has nothing to do with the Hunts. You can only take Pete away.”
As soon as she said this, Pete chimed in, “I’m not leaving. I want to stay with Mommy.”
Mrs. Hunt: “!!”
She was stunned. Then, she said in shock, “These two children are from the Hunts. Of course, they have to come with me!”
Ian was very domineering. “What Hunts? This is my granddaughter. She has the Smith blood in her!”
Mrs. Hunt held her chin up. “Ian, I know that society is developing, but our wealthy families still care about passing on our daughters. Your daughter will get married sooner or later. The children of our Hunts can’t go to another family to suffer!”
Ian smiled. “Who said my daughter is going away? I’m going to find a househusband for my daughter in the future! Anyway, since I don’t have a son, Nora will take on the responsibilities!”
With that, he looked at Joel and asked, “Joel, do you mind?”
Joel stood up straight. “Of course, I don’t mind. Even if Nora manages Smith Corporation, I have no objections.”
Ian raised his eyebrows and looked at Mrs. Hunt. “Did you hear that?”
Mrs. Hunt: “!!”
She could not win against Ian, so she could only look at Justin. “Justin, aren’t you going to say anything?”
With that, she whispered, “Justin, if you want to marry Miss Smith and make her bow her head in compromise, you have to take the two children away! I guarantee that she’ll chase after you!”
When she said this, Justin’s gaze turned even colder.
He had long known that his grandmother did not like Nora.
She preferred traditional daughters who would be at home with her husband and children, just like a mother… She would remain just as the children’s mother in the Hunts forever!
However, with Nora’s personality, it was impossible for her to be trapped at home.
And this time, Mrs. Hunt had come to the Smiths, first, to look after Pete, and second to bring Nora down a notch!
How could Justin allow Nora to be looked down upon at home in the future?
Therefore… he knew what Mrs. Hunt said was true-as long as she took away the two children… or even one of them, Nora would not be able to escape.
But he could not do that.
He lowered his head and held Mrs. Hunt as he slowly said, “Grandmother, let’s go.”
Mrs. Hunt was stunned. “What about the children?”
Justin sighed. “Nora gave birth to the children in the first place. The children will only follow us if she asks them.”
Mrs. Hunt looked at Nora. “Miss Smith, let the children come with us. At the very least, let Pete come back with us!”
Nora shook her head. “Sorry, I can’t.”
It was more probable for Cherry to go back with them. However, it was impossible for Pete!
Ever since she fell asleep a few days ago, she could clearly feel that Pete was more attached to her. Now was the critical period to treat her son’s mild autism. How could she let the Hunts take him away?
Mrs. Hunt misunderstood. “Are… are the Smiths really going to snatch our child?”
She turned to look at Ian. “Ian, the two families had planned a marriage alliance in the first place. Letting Miss Smith marry Justin is the best choice. Why do you have to do this? Aren’t you afraid that we’ll turn against each other?!”
Ian smiled arrogantly. “My health is not good, and I don’t know how long I can live. Therefore, I don’t care about what happens in the future. I only know that my daughter should not be taken lightly!”
Mrs. Hunt choked.
Before she could say anything, Justin had already grabbed her arm forcefully and interrupted her. “Uncle Ian, Joel, Nora, we’ll head back first. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Pete and Cherry.”
With that, he brought Mrs. Hunt downstairs forcefully.
After the group of people left the Smiths, Ian sneered. “At least this kid knows his place!”
Joel thought of his friendship with Justin during this period of time and said, “Mr. Hunt has always been quite good, right? But Mrs. Hunt is too unreasonable!”
After saying that, he seemed to be afraid that Nora would mind, so he explained, “Nora, Mr. Hunt left because he wanted to take Mrs. Hunt home. Don’t think too much about it.”
Nora did not think too much about this. She just felt that her ears had finally become much quieter. No one would stare at her as she ate anymore, despising her for eating so much!
She felt herself relax. She stretched her body and entered the bedroom. “I understand.”
After she closed the door, Ian suddenly waved at Joel. “Tell me, how does Nora feel about Justin? Does she like Justin?”
Joel touched his nose as confusion flashed across his fox-like eyes. “Uncle Ian, speaking of this, I also find it strange. Nora’s personality is more distant, and she’s cold to everyone. I didn’t see any intimacy between her and Justin, either… I really can’t say if she likes him or
not.”
When Ian heard this, he nodded thoughtfully and said, “In that case, you understand…”
His voice trailed off.
After hearing the entire sentence, Joel looked at Ian in disbelief. “This… isn’t too good, right?”
Ian: “That’s what we’ll do!”
Joel: “…Alright.”
–
On the way back to the Hunts. Mrs. Hunt carefully observed Justin’s expression, but when she saw that her grandson’s expression was still dark, she couldn’t help but cough and say, “Justin, it really wasn’t my fault today. I didn’t say anything, but Ian set me up!”
Justin didn’t say anything.
Mrs. Hunt said again, “Don’t be like this. If you really like that Miss Smith, I’ll personally visit another day and invite her back. How about that?”
This was what Justin wanted.
Grandmother had always looked down on Nora. Then he had to let her know how difficult this marriage was!
Other people’s daughters would have to beg a hundred times before they would agree, right?
Furthermore, he could get Grandmother to apologize to Nora! That way, when Nora marries into the Hunts, she would not be criticized by Mrs. Hunt. This was also why he had not stopped Mrs. Hunt from speaking earlier.
However, just as he woke up the next day and was about to head downstairs, Brenda suddenly ran in front of him. “Justin, bad news! The Smiths are going to choose a husband for Nora!”
