Chapter 244: Raising Her Daughter?
Of course, it was to give Pete more room to grow.
When Pete turned 10 years old, learned about good and evil, and had his own thoughts, he would at least be able to protect himself before pursuing his own happiness.
However, Iris would not say those words.
She only said coldly, “If you get married, there will be a lot of trouble. I don’t want to bother about it. Besides, you’re only 25 years old this year. It’s the time to be impulsive. You might have been bewitched by a vixen outside. When you’re 30 years old, if you still like her, it won’t be too late to get married!”
Justin suddenly clenched his fists.
Vixen?
Was this how she saw the woman he liked?
He sneered. “You make it sound like you’ve managed me all these years. Since you haven’t, then don’t bother.”
He lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in them. The mole at the corner of his eye exuded the same coldness and distance as Iris. “Besides, I’m already old. You don’t have to worry about me anymore.”
With that, he extended his hand to Cherry. “Pete, let’s go.”
Cherry looked at her beautiful grandmother and then at her father.
Thinking of the beautiful grandmother’s words, she looked at Justin hesitantly. In the end, she broke free from Iris’s embrace and walked to Justin.
Justin bent down and picked her up before saying respectfully, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”
Iris didn’t say anything.
Justin added, “Also, if I get married in the future, I’ll bring her to see you. You’ll like her. Of course, you can also dislike her because you’ve never liked anyone, right?”
After saying this, he turned around and left.
After the sound of the car disappeared at the door, Mrs. Landis walked toward Iris. Her voice couldn’t help but tremble. “Ma’am, why… why are you doing this? After so many years, your relationship with Young Master has finally eased a little. Why are you arguing again…”
Iris sighed deeply. “That’s good.”
Mrs. Landis was stunned.
Iris looked at the sky. “The worse our relationship is, the less trouble we’ll cause him.”
Mrs. Landis sighed again and asked, “Then should we investigate that Nora?”
Iris shook his head. “No need.”
Mrs. Landis was stunned.
Iris said hesitantly, “The woman he likes could not be a bad person. Besides, even if we investigate, it’s useless. His personality is still the same as when he was young. He won’t turn back once he has decided on something.”
Seeing her pitiful state, Mrs. Landis couldn’t help but sigh deeply. She took a step forward and held her shoulder. “Ma’am, it has been hard on you all these years.”
“What’s there to be bitter about? It’s all the role of a mother. It’s worth it for the child.”
Iris stood up and walked to the greenhouse.
Mrs. Landis stood outside the door and looked at the greenhouse quietly.
Ma’am was like this. The more upset she was, the calmer she looked. Every time she was troubled, she liked to water the flowers.
She had already watered the Inkland pot twice, but she did not notice it at all.
—
On the way back to the Hunts, the more Justin thought about it, the angrier he became.
Many years ago, Iris and his father had a marriage change.
At that time, his grandfather was so angry that he kicked his father out of the house, leaving behind Iris and him.
