When the voice rang out, Philip frowned and turned to look outside.
He’d initially thought that it must be a large group who had come, but in the end, he only saw Nora walk in leisurely with her three children.
Philip breathed a sigh of relief.
Instead, it was Iris who panicked when she saw them. She shouted, “Nora, why did you bring the children here? This has nothing to do with you guys, hurry and leave this place! I don’t want you to accidentally hurt yourselves!”
Nora’s gait was slow and lazy as if she had to use a lot of strength even just to walk. As she shuffled, she yawned.
It couldn’t be helped.
Philip and Iris had come to the cemetery early in the morning. She was usually still asleep at this hour. Although she’d received news that they would be coming over the day before, she couldn’t just go to bed at noon, right?
In the end, she waited until 8 PM before she went to sleep. After that, she’d woken up at 6 AM, resulting in a lack of sleep.
She was terribly sleepy. Pete handed her a piece of tissue and said, “Mommy, wipe your tears.”
Nora took the tissue and casually wiped her eyes. Then, another small hand reached towards her. When she looked down, she found that it was Xander’s. Seeing her lower her head, he looked at the tissue in her hand and said, “I’ll hold it for you.”
Only after Nora handed Xander the tissue that she’d wiped her tears with did she look ahead of her.
Just as she was about to say something, she couldn’t help but yawn again.
Pete and Xander: “…”
Cherry, who had long been accustomed to her behavior, decided to just speak in her stead.
“Grandma, don’t worry! Pete, Xander, and I won’t get hurt! If that fierce grandpa dares to hit us, then I will get Mommy to smash his butt into pieces!”
Iris: “…”
Philip: “…”
The corners of Philip’s lips spasmed a little and he glanced at Iris. When he saw her staring at him, he said, “You guys can go. I won’t do anything to children.”
Just like back then, even though Iris had rejected him and chosen to stay in the suburbs of New York because of Justin, he hadn’t taken any action against Justin.
Iris breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She looked at Nora and said, “Nora, stop this and take the children away. Although Philip has said he won’t do anything to the children, it would be terrible if they got hurt.”
Nora nodded. She looked down at the three children and said, “You three, stand aside.”
“Okie-Dokie!”
“Okay.”
“Kay.”
After the three children respectively answered in their own ways, they looked at one another. In the end, they ran to a corner at the side where even if a fight broke out, it probably wouldn’t reach them.
After they took their positions there, Cherry shouted again, “Grandma, don’t be afraid! We’re here to take you home!”
