Nora

Chapter 96:.

As soon as he entered, Justin saw a familiar figure running nimbly into the inner courtyard.

Only, the person appeared to be wearing a skirt….

Justin’s expression suddenly darkened and he took two quick steps forward. He held Pete and said grimly, “Pete, you…”.

He looked at his son with a complicated look, wishing he could rip his clothes off.

It was all over.

His son’s condition had worsened again.

Pete, “Pete?”

A sullen Justin lifted Pete up and went outside.

Tanya, who was waiting in the car, was shocked when she saw him suddenly emerge with ‘Cherry’ in his arms. When she recovered from her astonishment, she rushed out of the car and yelled, “What are you doing?”

Justin stopped and looked at her, bewildered.

Tanya was about to rush in and retrieve the child.

How dare someone kidnap children like that in broad daylight? It was unforgivable.

But just as she was about to step forward, Pete shouted, “Dad, what’s wrong with that lady?”

Tanya, “???”

Dad?

Before returning to the United States, she had already heard from Nora that she had found her son. However, he was living with his father, so it wasn’t easy for her to take him back. Could he be Cherry’s father?

In the midst of her distancing, she unconsciously glanced back toward the entrance of the Quinn School of Martial Arts. That’s when she saw Cherry, who was wearing boy’s clothes, hiding behind the door frame and jumping out as he waved at her.

After being stunned for a moment, Tanya finally said, “…. I’m sorry, I mistook you two for someone else.”

Justin looked at her and said nothing. With a frown, he led Pete to the car and left immediately.

As they drove off, Cherry came running out and said, “Mom, you scared the hell out of me! You almost exposed us~”

Tanya, “…”

On the way home, Cherry pleaded and cajoled, “Don’t tell Mom, Godmother. She’ll be mad.”

Just as Tanya was about to say something, Cherry sighed and said, “You’re so beautiful, gentle and understanding, so you’ll definitely accede to Cherry’s request, won’t you? You won’t be able to bear to see Cherry suffer slaps on her bottom, will you, I knew it! You’re the best godmother in the world.”

“…”

Could Tanya refuse when she had already said it like that?

The couple returned to the Andersons after reaching an agreement.

As soon as they entered, they saw Nora sitting on the patio swing, leaning against it as she rested with her eyes closed.

Cherry, “…”

Surely because she heard the car, Nora slowly opened her eyes. Her eyelids were still drooping and her world-weary face looked exquisite and beautiful.

However, she looked at Cherry with a seemingly half amused smile and said, “Cherry, your kindergarten teacher just called.”

Cherry, “?”

A slightly foreboding feeling formed in her and she thought to herself, ‘Huh? There’s no way Pete’s misbehaving, is there?’

She quickly lowered her head. “Mommy, I…”

Before she could utter the word ‘sorry,’ she hears Nora say, “Your teachers were praising you.”

Cherry, “?”

She immediately smiled and said, “Mom, I’ve always been so outstanding! You don’t have to be so proud of me~.”

Hearing that, Nora’s feline eyes narrowed and she said, “Aha. And to think I didn’t know you had secretly learned how to solve Math Olympiad problems at some point while raising you for the past five years. Your teachers say they’ve sent in an application for the Math Olympiad competition on your behalf, so they want you to participate in it when the date arrives. It looks like you’ll have to practice your Math Olympiad problem-solving skills for an upcoming period of time.”

Cherry’s expression turned pitiful the moment she heard she had to study. She thought to herself, “Sob! Pete, how could you!

Mom was so mean too! She definitely knew what was going on, but just didn’t expose her, so she could force her to learn how to solve the Math Olympiad problems.

Cherry was so pitiful!

She ducked her head and walked into the room with her shoulders slumped. Before she entered the room, she also heard Nora say, “Oh, the teachers also tell you not to talk nonsense in school again. Your classmate Brandon Smith heard from you that boys will turn into girls once they cut off their penises, and then go back to being boys once they grow back, so when he went home… he almost mutilated himself.”

Cherry, “…”

Was he an idiot, how could he believe something like that?noveldrama

“Are you an idiot, how could you believe something like that!”

In the Smith’s living room, Warren Smith, who was the second oldest in the family, tugged Brandon’s ear and scolded him loudly. He said, “Thank goodness you were too chicken and started crying from fright and didn’t dare do anything even though you already had the knife in your hand! Otherwise it would have been terrible.

Despite being scolded, Brandon did not cry. He turned his face to the side, held his father’s hand in his own little hands and said, “But that’s what Cheryl Smith said. Yesterday she was still a little girl, but today she stood up while peeing! I saw it with my own eyes.”

Warren angrily lashed at him again. “Are you still lying even at this late date? You’re infuriating me!”

“I’m not lying! Everyone in the garden knows it, including Mia! You can ask her if you don’t believe me!”

As soon as he said that, Warren stopped what he was doing.

On the couch, the seated Joel Smith narrowed his foxy eyes. Hearing what he said, he unconsciously looked down at his daughter, who was in his arms, and asked, “Is she telling the truth, Mia?”

Little Mia nodded and softly replied, “Yes!”.

Joel sounded a little concerned as he asked, “Did you also see her pee standing up with your own eyes?”.

Mia shook her head. “Nope~”

Only then did Joel let out a sigh of relief. Then, he heard his daughter continue and say, “But she went to the boys’ room~ Too bad. Cheryl Smith says she’s the only one who can change her gender as and when she wants. Everyone else can’t do it.”

Joel, however, narrowed his eyes as he listened to her.

He chatted quietly with his daughter a little longer before getting up and heading to Hillary’s room.

Hillary was packing up the room. When she heard the door open, her eyes lit up and she said, “Joel, is she-“.

Joel was nice to everyone, but she was the only one he was cold and icy to. He scoffed, “Hillary, have you been talking nonsense to Mia again?”

If not, why did it seem such a shame that she couldn’t become a boy?

Hillary’s eyes blinked a couple of times. Then she lowered her head and replied, “Joel, we’ve already been engaged for many years, but you simply refuse to accept me as your wife all this time. Is it because Mia isn’t a chi…?”

Before she could finish, however, Joel grabbed her by the throat. The man had a terribly violent look in his eyes, as if he wanted to kill her, scaring Hillary so much that she couldn’t even say a word.

An icy Joel said, “Remember this, Hillary. Mia is my daughter. You can’t bully her.”

He turned and walked out of the room after saying that.

Hillary gasped. She bit her lip hard but smiled afterwards. As long as she loved her daughter, everything was fine.

As for Tanya… She lowered her gaze and let out a cold laugh.

On the Andersons.

Cherry, who had finally dodged Mom’s interrogation after much difficulty, entered the studio with the mission of learning to solve Math Olympiad problems on her shoulders.

He stared at the Math Olympiad problems in front of him. After five minutes of headache, he said, “It’s live time. I’ll get back to the problems after live streaming for a while.”

He grabbed his cell phone and opened the live streaming app.

As soon as he did, he saw a large confrontation interface splashed on his live streaming channel. It was hard to ignore even if you wanted to.

Cherry gaped at it.

¿¿¿¿What the heck was this????
