Cherry's mouth was stuffed, so her cheeks were bulging. Her big eyes were full of anticipation as she said, "My live-streams are really fun!"
Ian:
Cherry went on. "Plus, I have a Sponsor Grandpa in my live-stream who's my number one fan. Will you come and tip me?"
Ian swallowed a piece of meat and coughed. As Nora and Joel looked over with knowing looks, he coughed again and said, "Sure, I'll come to cheer you on tonight!"
"Yay! I knew Grandpa loves me the most! It's just a pity that Daddy is not at home, otherwise, he would also have come. Sigh!"
Speaking of Justin, Cherry couldn't help but look at Nora. "When is Daddy coming back?"
The table instantly fell silent.
None of the Smiths dared to say anything, seemingly afraid that they would make Nora sad.
On the contrary, it was Nora who suddenly raised her head and looked at everyone in confusion, not quite sure what was wrong. Then, she lowered her head again and resumed eating.
Everyone was speechless.
After everyone finished eating, Tanya looked at Nora hesitantly and said, "Nora, urn... My condolences."
Nora:"?"
She was a little confused. "Huh?"
Tanya spoke again. "Um, about Justin..."
Only then did Nora suddenly realize something. "Oh, I forgot that Justin is dead."
No wonder they had all looked at her when Cherry mentioned her father just now. She forgot that Justin had faked his death.
A slightly chagrined Nora smacked her forehead.
In novels, they never let the heroine know about fake death plots. Why was Justin so unreliable even for something as simple as this? She had to constantly keep in mind that he was "dead".
Nora sighed silently. "I'm so sad."
After saying that, she speared a piece of steak and put it into her mouth. Then, she speared another piece and put it on Cherry's plate. "Here, have more!"
Everyone was speechless.
Wasn't she sad?
Why was she eating so heartily?!
They then looked at the three children and Nora again, only to see the four of them exchanging looks with one another and then digging into their food happily.
Nora had already instructed the three little fellows that they mustn't say in front of outsiders that their father was still alive.
Everyone:
After the meal, Nora went upstairs with the four children. Tanya, who had stayed behind to direct the servants in cleaning up, couldn't help but look at Joel. She said, "I heard that some people stop feeling sad when they become too sad. Nora probably hasn't recovered yet! She may not know what death really means, sigh! Some people suffer a whole year before they truly recover."
Joel also frowned. He asked, "Should we get Nora a therapist?"
"Will that be too much fanfare?"
Tanya was a little hesitant. "Besides, Nora is a doctor herself, and an all-around one at that."
Joel became a little troubled.
