Nora hurriedly drove back home. After getting out of the car hugging the company’s project books, she went straight to the study room.
After placing the books on the table, she picked up her phone and looked around before calling Justin.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to look for him since the incident.
However, when she dialed the number, the automated tone reminded her, “The number you have dialed is unreachable.”
That made sense. The phone had been destroyed in the explosion. After all, Justin’s belongings had been found beside the corpse.
Therefore, it was reasonable that she could not find him on the other end of the line.
Nora could not help but start to think again. Where did Justin go?
Just as her thoughts were running wild, the door was pushed open. Following that, the heads of the three little fellows appeared at the door. Cherry blinked her large eyes and said in a childish voice, “Mommy, are you thinking of Daddy?”
“… I suppose,” replied Nora.
When Pete heard this, he said, “Mommy, didn’t you say Daddy just has something to do? He’ll be back soon.”
Nora held her chin. “But there is so much work. My head hurts too!”
Xander immediately craned his neck to take a look and said, “Is there too much work? It would be good if someone helped you share the burden.”
Cherry immediately said, “Mommy, let Pete and Xander help you!”
Xander took the opportunity to say, “Yes, let Pete help you!”
Pete and Cherry looked at him at the same time, their identical faces filled with confusion.
“Why Pete?”
“Why me?”
Xander scoffed. “Of course it’s because Hunt Corporation will be yours in the future. Don’t think I don’t understand. The tyrant won’t come back. Mommy is helping you work! So, you should be the one doing it!”
Pete: “!!”
However, Cherry was still nodding her head vigorously. “Xander, you’re right!”
“…”
Xander patted Pete’s shoulder. “Go on, don’t be afraid. It’s just like your Math Olympiad questions.”
How could these business matters be the same as the Math Olympiad?!
Were they as difficult as Math Olympiad?!
Pete glanced at Xander in disdain before walking silently to Nora’s side. “Mommy, I’ll do it.”
Nora: “??!”
She was already stunned by the three children’s conversation.
What the heck was this?
Were they really only five years old? After their intelligence and genes were improved, they could be so spectacular?!
Pete climbed into the chair. His small hand grabbed the first project and opened it to read.
Nora could not help but ask, “Pete, do you… understand?”
Pete nodded. “Yes. Actually, Daddy often let me see these in the past. It’s just that these are too dry and boring. I still like the Math Olympiad more.”
“…”
Nora remembered. She had once asked Justin what Pete was good at. Justin’s original words were: “He’s a business genius!”
