Mrs. Hunt paused and immediately said, "Yes, she will marry Justin to be Pete's stepmother. Iris, you know stepmothers can't possibly be good. Back then..."
Iris interrupted her again. "Not every stepmother in this world is like that mistress!"
Mrs. Hunt: ??
She was stunned by Iris' words. After thinking for a while, she tried to ask, "But what if she gives birth to a child for Justin again?"
"Mom, I think you're mistaken." Iris' voice was cold.
Mrs. Hunt was stunned.
Iris said slowly, "Being a mother and being a wife is different. A mother wants her son to be better. Justin is getting married, and it'll be good for him to have a woman to please him and take care of him in the future. Isn't that what you told me back then?"
Mrs. Hunt clenched her jaw. "Iris, are you still blaming me?"
"No." Iris' answer was very simple. "I don't blame anyone. If I have to say it, I only blame my bad luck."
As soon as she said this, she hung up.
Mrs. Hunt looked at her phone in a daze. After a while, she sighed deeply and looked at Mdm. Lea. "She still hates me."
Mdm. Lea looked at Mrs. Hunt and wanted to say something, but she hesitated. In the end, she said something fair. "It has been quite difficult for her all
these years."
She had stayed at the Hunts for her son.
However, she could not love her son affectionately. This was much more bitter than what Justin's father had suffered.
Mrs. Hunt sighed as Cherry's voice came from the door. "Great-Grandmother, I'm here-"
Mrs. Hunt immediately looked at the door in joy and saw Justin striding in with a smile. His appearance stunned her. She smiled and asked, "Why are you so happy today?"
Justin's expression froze as he asked, "Am I?"
Mdm. Lea teased, "You can't even suppress the corners of your mouth. Aren't you happy? Mr. Hunt, did something good happen today? Tell us, so we can be happy too!"
When Justin heard this, he thought of how he had had dinner with Nora tonight and could not help but smile again.
Seeing that he was silent, Cherry raised her hand. "I'll talk, I'll talk! Daddy had dinner with Mommy tonight. That's why Daddy is happy, right?"
Mrs. Hunt was stunned.
She turned to look at Justin again.
In her impression, this grandson had always been stern. Even after signing a huge contract and earning a few hundred million, he had never smiled like he did today.
It had been five years since he last smiled like this. At that time, he had just brought Pete back. After pulling him back from the brink of death, he had done a DNA test and realized that Pete was indeed his son.
He had hardly ever smiled like this before.
Mrs. Hunt lowered her eyes and touched Cherry's head. "Is that so? No wonder."
She suddenly looked at Justin and said, "Justin, it's my 80th birthday in a week. We can hold a party this year, right?"
Justin was stunned when he heard this.
Ever since his father left and his grandfather passed away, his grandmother had been eating vegetarian food and reading Buddhism. She had never liked the liveliness of birthday parties.
Every year on her birthday, the entire family would gather together for a meal. They had never organized a big banquet before.
Why did she suddenly...
