Louis' words caused both Joel and Ian to be taken aback, and the two of them looked at him in unison.
Louis recounted what had happened just now. Then, he said, "I didn't get a clear look at the man's appearance, but why didn't he drop Nora all the way home? Also, after the two got out of the car, they clearly hugged before they changed cars... So, is Nora really seeing someone else behind Pete's father's back?"
For Louis, Justin wasn't the head of the Hunts. Rather, he was just Pete and Cherry's father!
Pete, Joel, and Ian exchanged looks with one another. In the end, all three of them heaved silent sighs. Ian said, "Don't talk nonsense. Nora is not like that."
Louis nodded. "I think so too. She's so rich, there's no way she would be so fickle!"
Everyone:"?"
Was there any correlation between fickleness and being rich?
The three people downstairs felt a whole mix of emotions as they watched the unconcerned Louis go upstairs with his head of bleached blond hair. How they wished their IQ was also as low as his!
That way, they wouldn't think too much into things!
While they were thinking about it, Nora came home.
Even though she looked as cool and cocky as usual, it was obvious that her mood was a little different. Even her footsteps, which she had always been too lazy to lift when she walked, had become a little lighter than usual. Even her face was rosy.
Those reddish lips of hers stood out in particular. Ian and Joel, who were already experienced certain things, could tell at a glance what had happened!
The two looked at each other, neither of them speaking.
It was instead Pete who asked, "Mommy, what was your meeting about? It took so long."
'About love,' said Nora inside her head. On the surface, however, she replied, "Mm, it was about a relatively difficult project. I'm going upstairs to wash up."
But when she reached the stairs, she suddenly looked behind her.
The moment she did, she saw the complex looks on Ian and Joel's faces. However, the moment she looked behind her, the two of them withdrew their gazes. The one watching TV got back to watching TV, while the one drinking tea took a sip...
It was just that... it seemed like the teacup in Ian's hand was already empty a long time ago?
Also, with the way how Joel was constantly switching TV channels, what exactly was he watching?
Why were they behaving so weirdly today?!
Without thinking too much into it, Nora said, "By the way, Justin is coming over to confirm our engagement tomorrow."
After speaking, she fell silent for a while. Then, she said, "Don't make things difficult for him anymore, Dad."
The word "dad" made Ian's hands shake. The teacup in his hand dropped onto the carpet.
Ian suddenly raised his head and looked at Nora in disbelief...
Nora, however, seemed somewhat embarrassed as she went up the stairs with her head down.
Pete also hurriedly packed up his books and followed her upstairs.
Joel and Ian were the only ones left in the living room.
Joel picked up the teacup and placed it in front of Ian. Ian suddenly grabbed his arm and said, "Joel, did you hear that? She called me Dad!"
Joel nodded and smiled. "Yes, I heard it."
Ian immediately sat upright in excitement. He said, "Never mind. I originally wanted to talk some sense into her and convince her that Justin is not suitable to be a member of her harem, but since she likes him, we won't fight for it!"
Joel:"??"
Ian had always been somewhat opposed to Nora marrying Justin because Justin was too capable. He was afraid that his daughter would be at a disadvantage in the marriage.
