Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 138

Cherry, whose arms were around her father's neck, stared at Joel with her big round eyes.

Mm, that young mister there was really handsome, too! But why was the way he looked at her a little strange?

Joel was utterly stunned.

He didn't expect to meet that child again when they had only just separated... Also, he was Justin's son?

Joel had known for a long time that Justin had a son. He kept him very well-protected and seldom gave outsiders a chance to see him. If it weren't because the two of them had a business deal to discuss today, he probably wouldn't have seen what the Hunts' crown prince looked like for a long time to come!

But... Tanya had actually married Justin?

Joel's position as the head of the Smiths was well-deserved. Even though he was extremely shocked, he quickly kept his emotions in check and started talking with Justin about their upcoming partnership.

Half an hour later, the two men finished the work discussion.

Justin was in a hurry to go home so that his daughter could hold her live-stream, but when he saw that Joel had remained seated, he frowned and asked, "Is there anything else you need, Mr. Smith?"

Joel glanced at him again.

Dressed in a black suit, the man in front of him was big and tall, lean but strong. His visage was a perfect blend of harsh coldness and temptation. Together with the beauty mark at the corner of his eye, he was like Adonis on Earth.

It didn't seem strange that Tanya would fall in love with him.

But he had never heard of Justin having any plans to get married...

Joel neatened his suit and suddenly stood up. He said, "Your son is very cute, Mr. Hunt."

Justin cast a puzzled glance at him and politely replied, "Thank you."

Joel casually asked, "Do you know who the child's mother is?"

Upon his question, a picture of that lazy woman seemed to appear in front of Justin. The corners of his lips curled upward a little and he replied, "Yeah."

Joel continued and asked, "What are you intending to do about her, then?"

'Do about her'?

His choice of words made Justin very uncomfortable.

How could anyone use a phrase like that to talk about a woman like Nora?

He lowered his gaze and suddenly said, "Maybe we'll get married."

Married...

Joel's heart sank.

If she really married Justin...

The thought alone made his chest tighten uncomfortably. He balled up his fists and suddenly said, "Treat her well, Mr. Hunt."

He turned and left after saying that.

Justin,"?"

Was there something wrong with Joel Smith today?

For whom was he putting on that devoted act?

He suddenly thought of how Nora had kept staring at Joel during the medical conference the other time. Had the two of them formed some kind of connection without him knowing?

His brows drew together and he suddenly looked down at Cherry. In a deep and solemn voice, he asked, "Cherry... Pit, does your Mommy know him?"

Cherry shook her head. "No, she doesn't. I've never heard Mommy mention him before, yeah!"

The little fellow completely didn't realize that she had been sounded out.

Justin smiled and left with peace of mind. They'd already had dinner, so when they returned home, Cherry dived straight into her bedroom for her live-stream.

At the Andersons.

Tanya went upstairs to the guest room unhappily and closed the door after she returned home with Pete.

Pete entered the bedroom and unsurprisingly saw Mommy lying on the bed again. However, what was unusual was that she wasn't sleeping but handling something on her cell phone instead.

When she noticed him, she even asked, "Why are you back so late?"

Pete briefly explained Mia's hospitalization situation. Then, he said, "Mommy, I think you should go and take a look at God-mom."

Nora raised her eyebrows and let out a lazy 'Oh'. After stretching, she sighed and said as she walked out, "People mustn't let themselves sink into such depravity.

I can't lie down like this anymore. I'll go out for a walk and switch to another room..."

Thinking that Mommy had finally made up her mind to stop being so lazy, Pete was about to praise her when he heard what she said next:"... and lie down there instead."
