She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257: How Did She Become Pregnant Back Then?

Pete was in a huge panic. It was simply too difficult to find a reasonable answer!

Just as all three other people in the room were staring at him, and while Cherry was frantically giving him looks, Pete suddenly thought of the bossy CEO-type romance novels that he’d chanced upon in the past. Thus, his next few words came easily to him:

“It’s because she ‘couldn’t help it’, and because she ‘couldn’t control her feelings’…”

His words were rather hesitant in the beginning, but the more he spoke, the brighter his eyes shone, and the more certain he sounded. He said, “It’s because Mommy likes you! Yes, it’s exactly because of that!”

Nora: “??????”

She was about to refute him when Cherry rushed over and grabbed her hand. She looked at Justin and said, “Daddy, it’s because Mommy likes you so much that she had to do something like that. You won’t stop us from seeing Mommy in the future, right?”

Nora: “…”

Although they had made her the scapegoat, she did indeed want to know Justin’s opinion on the matter.

If that scumbag took a step back as a result, it wasn’t like she couldn’t just roll with it, either…

 

While she was thinking about it, the cold aura around Justin gradually subsided. He looked at her amicably and asked, “Is what they say, true?”

Nora: “…”

She felt that since they had already addressed the matter, she might as well say it all.

But before she could say anything, Cherry nodded repeatedly and said, “It’s true, it’s true! Mommy really likes you, Daddy! Mommy kept singing your praises before we met you! She even said that you look so cool, handsome, and tender! You’re the world’s number one hunk!”

Nora: “!!”

When had she ever said anything like that?

“Cough.” Cherry’s words seemed to have given Justin quite the shock, too. He let out a low cough, looked at Nora, and said, “That’s a little too explicit of you.”

Nora: “…”

Never mind.

She would just bear with it.

She had only just quietly suppressed her annoyance when Justin asked, “But since you like me so much, why don’t you believe in marriage?”

Nora: “?”

Was there no end to that man’s questions?

Her brows drew together, and a sharp look flashed across her eyes. She sneered, “There’s no correlation between liking someone and getting married, is there, Mr. Hunt? Who says non-believers of marriage can’t date?”

Upon hearing her sarcasm and the sound of her gnashing her teeth, Justin knew at once that they had to end it here for today. Otherwise, once he angered her for real, the chances of them getting together would become even lower.

This was the very first time in all these years that he had fallen for a woman. He mustn’t let her run away.

Justin feigned sudden realization and said, “I see.”

Suddenly, Nora asked, “Since you claim that I had pestered you back then, where did I do said pestering, Mr. Hunt?”

Justin raised his eyebrows.

How would he know?!

He didn’t even know how she became pregnant!

That night didn’t even exist in his memory at all, alright?!

Regardless, even if he did know, he didn’t know what the woman was thinking at that moment, so he had deliberately lied.

However, he absolutely mustn’t give her the impression that there were loopholes in his words. Thus, he smiled and suddenly replied, “In California.”

“Which hotel in California was it?”

Justin gave her a seemingly amused look. “Are you thinking of reliving the moment, Ms. Smith?”

Nora: “!!”

She took another deep breath and tried her best to tell herself, ‘Remain calm, remain calm. Don’t get angry.’

At last, she said, “Just asking.”

Justin, however, stepped forward. “The past is in the past, we have to look to the future. You don’t have to keep reminiscing about that night five years ago, Ms. Smith. If you find it necessary, we can consummate right away.”

Consummate?
