Nora drove to the castle where Queenie lived.
Over the years, NTT had become the largest company in Switzerland after it was founded by Queenie. Moreover, she loved living a luxurious lifestyle, so she had built a castle in the country.
The castle was an impregnable fortress. Even if Barbarian knew that they were here, unless he dropped a nuclear bomb on the castle, it was impossible for him to blow up the place.
All the architecture she saw along the way as she drove was European-style, the castle was gorgeous.
As soon as Nora's car arrived at the entrance of the castle, the huge iron gates opened automatically. There, John, the butler, greeted her in person. When he saw Nora, he said with a smile, "Good day, Ms. Nora."
Nora nodded at John. However, she did not get out of the car but continued driving further into the castle.
It took more than ten minutes to drive from the entrance to the place where Queenie lived, which went to show just how expansive the castle grounds were.
At last, the car stopped in front of a villa. Nora had only just parked the car when Cherry, Pete, and Xander came running out of the villa.
Cherry hugged Nora and said, "Mommy, I miss you so much! It's only been a day but it feels like forever since I last saw you!"
Pete also grabbed her hand and looked up at her fondly.
Nora took the opportunity to squat down and give Cherry a kiss. She also peeked Pete on the cheek. Pete's cheeks were all red and he was very content.
Xander adopted a cocky act and snorted derisively when he saw the two children's behavior. He commented, "You two haven't weaned off your mom's milk yet, have you?"
But Nora grabbed him and kissed him on the cheek too.
Xander immediately put on a disgusted expression. As he wiped off the non-existent saliva on his cheek, he said, "Yuck, don't you find that filthy?"
His eyes, however, were sparkling.
At a young age, he had already learned to say one thing when he really meant another.
Nora ruffled his hair and then led the three children into the villa.
Nora felt exceptionally relaxed, both physically and mentally, here.
Back then, after her aunt took her away, she'd lived here for five years. This place was like her real home and was also the first place to have given her a sense of security.
Upon entering the living room, she looked at the woman sitting on the sofa.
The woman was in her forties, yet she looked like she was only in her early thirties. When she stood next to Nora, one would believe it even if they were told that the two of them were sisters.
She gave off a different feeling from Iris.
Iris was like a celestial maiden, ethereal with an otherworldly beauty.
Queenie, however, was arrogant and flamboyant. Clad in a red silk nightdress, her nails were painted scarlet and she held a glass of red wine in her hand as she leaned against the sofa. Her eyes were bright and teasing as she looked at Nora. "Wow, you actually remembered to come home?"
