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:”?”
