Melissa looked over subconsciously, but the moment she lifted her head, she froze all of a sudden.

She stared incredulously at the child running in, and swallowed hard.

Cherry also noticed her while she was running in.

The little fellow came to a stop, and a touch of surprise appeared in her big round eyes.

An astonished Melissa said, “Ch…”

But before she could say “ …erry, why are you back?’, the little fellow suddenly exclaimed, “Ooh! Hi, Grand-aunt!”

She interrupted Melissa, ran up to her, and sat on her lap.

Melissa:”?”

She couldn’t understand how Cherry could go in and out of the Hunts’ residence at will.

Moreover, she had clearly come from the inner premises.

Shouldn’t she be in the car going back to the Andersons right now? While she was in a daze, Mrs.Hunt frowned and asked, “Grand…Aunt? Pete, do the two of you know each other?”

Cherry nodded at once.

“Uh-huh! Great-Grandma, this is Grand-Aunt.Grand-Aunt, this is my great-grandmother-”

Even more question marks filled Melissa’s mind: ???

She suddenly turned to Mrs.Hunt and asked, “W-what did you call the child just now?”

Pete? What Pete? Before Mrs.Hunt could explain, Cherry said, “Don’t you remember who I am, Grand-Aunt? I’m Pete Hunt! My father is Justin Hunt!”

Then, she looked at Mrs.Hunt again and said, “Are they the guests you were talking about, Great-Grandma? I’ve been to their house! Daddy took me there before, yeah!”

Cherry’s young and tender voice rang out in the living room, shocking Melissa so badly that she was practically crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.What nonsense was Cherry spouting? Pete Hunt? What nonsense…No, wait, Hunt? And ‘Great-Grandma’…
