Nora

Chapter 121:

As soon as Whitney said that, a low, deep voice came to her. “I don’t know if it’s the Lord himself or not, but I do know that I can help you go to heaven and talk to the Lord himself.”

“…”

Whitney suddenly froze. As if petrified, she slowly turned her head to see Justin right there.

Meticulously dressed in a black suit with his tie neatly buttoned, he was the spitting image of a cold, unfeeling, desireless man. He was tall and lean, had a strong, commanding aura about him. His countenance was also cold and solemn, and even the beauty mark at the corner of his eye seemed to give off an icy chill.

The air at the garden gates instantly solidified.

Whitney had seen Justin before.

It was at a business dinner in New York that she had attended with her husband, Bob Lowe. That time Mr. Hunt was seated in a remote area, and all around him were people who wanted to approach him and curry favor, but didn’t dare.

He was very young and only twenty years old. As if he were a divine being who had descended to the mortal world, he was very handsome and extraordinarily well behaved.

At that moment, Whitney had finally seen what an aristocratic aura was and its origin.

Because of this, he had left a deep impression on Whitney.

Still, why was she here now?

Just as she wondered, Cherry exclaimed in surprise, “Dad!”

Whitney, “!”

She looked incredulously at Cherry before looking back at Justin. He pointed at Cherry and stammered, “This is your daughter, Mr. Hunt?”

Justin looked at Cherry with love and affection in his dark, bottomless eyes. His voice was low, trembling a little-though outsiders would never notice.

“Yes.”

She had said ‘yes’….

Whitney felt a clap of thunder strike her!

Cherry’s father was really Justin Hunt.

Her legs went slack and she almost fell to the floor. She tried to control herself as best she could and could barely keep from embarrassing herself in front of everyone. She felt like she couldn’t breathe anymore.

Justin stepped forward, bent down and picked Cherry up.

He was tall and long-legged, while Cherry was sweet and tender. They formed an exceptionally harmonious image. However, no one noticed that the arm with which Justin carried Cherry was a little stiff.

It was as if he was afraid of hurting her if he exerted too much force.

After getting Cherry into a comfortable position, Justin looked at Whitney and asked, “Who is your husband?”

Whitney didn’t want to answer, but she couldn’t bring herself not to, so she answered, “…. L-the Lowe’s.”

“Bob Lowe?” Justin snorted softly. “I see.”

‘I see…?

What was that supposed to mean?

Whitney knew Justin was a gentleman who didn’t intimidate women. If a woman offended him, in the case of single women, he went to her parents; in the case of married women, he went to their husbands!

So, did this mean Justin was planning to make things difficult for Bob?

Whitney could no longer maintain her composure. She staggered and fell to the floor.

Miss Lynn didn’t know Justin. She simply thought Cherry’s father was very handsome. Seeing that he had taken the girl away, she finally looked at Whitney and asked, “What’s wrong, Mrs. Lowe?”

Whitney, “…”

She got up, rushed into the car with Sinead and ran off as if fleeing for her life.

Elsewhere.

Cherry, who was in Justin’s arms, opened her eyes big and round. Her bright, glistening eyes were full of surprise.

Daddy was so calm right now! No, wait, had he recognized who she was?

Just as she wondered that, Justin looked at her and asked very softly, “What are you doing here instead of being at Quinn School of Martial Arts?”noveldrama

Cherry, “?”

Justin continued and said, “I was passing through the area during work. I thought you looked like you when I looked at you from a distance, so I came over to take a look. Why are you wearing your garden uniform, and on top of that in a dress?”

Cherry now understood that her stinking father still hadn’t recognized who she was.

He had mistaken her for Pete.

Cherry nodded immediately and said, “Dad, Grandpa Quinn brought me here, yes!”.

There was nothing she could do other than blame Grandpa Quinn for now. If Dad kept insisting, she would get Grandpa Quinn to come up with a decent excuse.

Or so Cherry thought, because she didn’t notice the big grin tugging at the corner of someone’s lips.

‘Yes’…

Yes, that was exactly the feeling.

Justin couldn’t suppress his smile. So this was it… What an adorable, sweet, tender daughter she was!

As expected, she was completely different from that brat.

Just when Cherry thought she was going to press the issue, Justin instead said, “Let’s not go home yet. Shall we go buy you some toys?”

Cherry, “?”

She blinked and said, “Huh?”

Justin’s heart melted into a puddle of glue. He asked, “What do you like?”

“Barbie dolls!”

And so, Justin took Cherry to a toy store that sold Barbies. She looked at the dazzling array of dolls, clutching one eagerly while refusing to let go of another.

Which one should she buy, what a difficult choice!

Just as Cherry found herself terribly worried, she heard her stinking father say, “Take them all and send them to my house.”

Cherry, “!!!”

Aaahhh!!! Suddenly, she seemed to have forgiven her stinky daddy a little bit!

No, she, little Cherry, shouldn’t bend just for some dolls!

Seeing how his daughter was obviously not so angry anymore, Justin breathed a sigh of relief.

Quinn School of Martial Arts.

Pete had already waited for more than half an hour, but the tyrant still hadn’t come to pick him up. The bored boy sat at the entrance with his chin in his hands.

A jeep pulled into the driveway at that moment. Nora got out of the car and walked over, “Come with me, Pete.”

Pete, “?”

Nora touched her nose and said a little embarrassed, “Your father happened to see Cherry and mistook her for you, so he took her away. I only found out after I went to the garden but I didn’t find Cherry there, so I was late picking you up.”

Pete, “…”

Pete couldn’t help but feel that the tyrant had abandoned him.

Even though he already knew he had a daughter, why didn’t he think Cherry was his daughter when he saw her?

He let out a sigh, deeply concerned about his father’s IQ.

Luckily, he was a boy, so his IQ was completely inherited from Mom….

A silent Pete followed Nora to the car. On the way home, he suddenly asked, “Mommy, what are you going to do if Daddy finds out about Cherry?”

Nora’s long, slender fingers rested nonchalantly on the steering wheel. A sharp look crossed her almond eyes and she replied, “I guess I’ll take Cherry and you with me, we’ll run as far away as we can.”

Pete, “…”

Nora pursed her lips and said lazily, “To be honest, it’s not like we can’t tell you the truth either. It mostly depends on why your father hates me.”

It didn’t seem to her that she had done anything abominable at all.

The two quickly arrived at the Anderson’s house. Pete went upstairs after coolly greeting Melissa. After entering the bedroom, he grabbed his cell phone and made an emergency call to Cherry.

Cherry was immersed in the sea of Barbies and couldn’t get out of it.

At the door.

Justin smiled as he saw her perk up.

At that moment, Lawrence suddenly walked up and said, “Mr. Hunt, I’ve found some information about Miss Smith.”

Justin’s look became serious. He looked at Lawrence and instructed him not to say anything. Only when they entered the study did he command, “Tell me.”
