Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 260

In a villa on the outskirts of New York.

Mrs. Landis and Iris were happily preparing dinner.

Iris was in a very good mood. The woman, who looked as lithe as a teenager, hummed a little tune as she went back and forth the dining table and the kitchen joyfully.

Seeing her in such a good mood, Mrs. Landis laughed and said, "Ma'am, your mind must be at ease now, right? You've already asked around and found out that Mr. Hunt's girlfriend is from the Andersons. The other Ms. Smith only has a daughter while your god-sister has a son instead! As it turns out, the two of them just share the same name! You don't have to worry anymore!"

Iris nodded. "Yes, it's fine as long as they aren't one and the same. I was so scared that I had accidentally elevated Justin's girlfriend's position to one that was more senior than his, which would have made it awkward for the two of them!"

Mrs. Landis laughed again. "The fish and chips are fried especially nicely tonight, so they'll definitely taste awesome. The children are gonna love it."

"Yeah."

Iris smiled and said, "I wonder how old Ms. Smith's son is, and how far apart his age is from Pete's. I don't know if the two of them can get along or not."

Mrs. Landis teased her and said, "You worry too much!"

Only then did Iris suddenly realize that she was indeed worrying too much.

For so many years, many people had tried to please her. There were even some that tried to pander to her interests and spoke knowledgeably to her about orchids.

All of them were trying to ingratiate themselves with Justin.

In order to reduce unnecessary troubles for Justin, she had rejected them all. Therefore, all the rumors outside claimed that she was difficult to deal with, and had a strange temperament.

Come to think of it, Nora was actually the only friend she had made all these years. Therefore, she hadn't stopped Mrs. Landis when she also told Justin to come over after Nora was invited over for dinner.

This was just her selfish desire, but she wanted her son to help Nora out a little if he could.

After all, it wasn't easy for a woman to bring up a child on her own. It reminded her of herself when she was taking care of Justin back then.

Perhaps because she had suppressed her feelings for too long, it led to her wanting to give the other party all the good things she could after she made a friend.

Moreover, what Nora said the day before had made Iris suddenly realize that she indeed didn't understand Justin.

She was Justin's mother. In situations that wouldn't cause him any trouble, helping her friend out was something he should do, right?

... Even though Iris didn't know what kind of help Nora could possibly need from her.

While driving to the villa in the suburbs, Nora received another call from Justin.

After she uttered a 'hello', Justin asked, "Are you free tonight? I'll take you somewhere for a meal?"

Nora, who was looking ahead of her, replied, "I'm not free."

Justin, who seemed to have heard some kind of sound, immediately asked, "You have an appointment? Who are you meeting that has actually made you abandon me? That's not something that someone in love with me should be doing."

He was afraid that she was going on a date with Caleb.
