Nora frowned.
The nanny went to the door.
She asked, "May I know who you are?"
A loud voice immediately came from outside.
"I'm Nora's father!"
The words made the few people in the room look at Nora.
Simon and Melissa were also taken aback, and they looked at Nora together.
Nora raised her pretty eyebrows.
Just as she was about to say that it wasn't necessary to open the door, Miranda nudged Rachel and said, "Oh, it's a relative? Quick, go and open the door”
Rachel frowned, but the next moment, she realized what Miranda was trying to do.
There was clearly a doorbell at the door, yet the man had knocked so loudly as if he was afraid that they wouldn't open the door.
This showed that the two families were definitely not on good terms.
She jumped up as if she was about to watch a show, and ran toward the door.
As she did, she said, "Oh, I'm the youngest here.I'll go and open the door, then"
Nora;'’???"
She had no choice but to follow Rachel at the back.
When she walked out of the living room, Rachel had already opened the door.
Henry was cursing angrily, "Why did you wait so long to open the door? Is it because we're not welcomed here?"
Rachel stepped aside and said, "Why wouldn't you be? Please come in!"
Henry was a little surprised, but he nevertheless walked in with Wendy.
The two were about to enter the living room when someone blocked their path.
Henry frowned.
"What is the meaning of this, Nora? Are you stopping us from going in?"
Nora stood in their path at the living room entrance.
Her voice was low and deep as she said, "If you have something to say, then let's talk here"
She didn't want to cause the Andersons any trouble.
Henry sneered, "Is this what the Andersons' manners are like? Are they actually stopping their family members from entering the house?"
Nora retorted, "Are you even family?"
Henry yelled into the living room, "I'm the Andersons’ son-in-law. I haven't even met my in-laws ever since your mother and I married! I heard that Mom is still around, so I think I should pay her a visit!"
He tried to squeeze his way into the living room after saying that.
Unfortunately for him, Nora stood in his path like a bouncer.
Henry wanted to push her aside and enter, but even though the girl was clearly very thin and shouldn't weigh much, Henry simply couldn't even make her budge even after he tried pushing her aside.
It was as if her feet had been nailed in place as she stood there.
Henry was furious.
He narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly, he shouted into the room, "Mom, your son-in-law is here to visit you!"
As soon as he said that, Mrs.Anderson, who could no longer sit still, walked out of her room.
Her daughter had given up the amazing and brilliant lan Smith and ran away from home.
Later, she had married Henry.
She looked at the elderly lady and said, "We also intend to be filial to you in the future!"
The elderly Mrs.Anderson, however, stared hard at Henry.
Her eyes reddened again as she asked, "Are you saying that Yvette already arranged for you to remarry before she died? And she's even met that woman?"
Mrs.Anderson felt her chest tighten the moment she thought of how her daughter had to find a wife for her own husband and a stepmother for her own daughter when she was clearly already on her deathbed.
Yvette had always been stubborn ever since she was a child.
When she was with lan back then, she had once even said something about how all rich men liked having mistresses.
If lan dared so much as to think like that, she would definitely break his goddamn legs.
At that time, she had persuaded Yvette to take it easy.
After all, profit was the most important in the wealthy circle.
How many of them were truly in love with each other? However, Yvette had raised her chin and said proudly, "Mom, never in this lifetime will I, Yvette Anderson, ever make do when it comes to love.Even if I die, I won't let lan remarry.Be it in life or death, I will be vigorous and exciting."
The young woman at that time had been full of energy and high-spirited, yet also incredibly bossy.
How many men's hearts had Yvette Anderson, a single woman, stolen in the wealthy circle? What exactly must such a proud woman like her have experienced for her to be willing to choose a second wife for her husband during the last leg of her journey in life...? Wendy's eyes flickered.
She hastily smiled and said, "Yes, that's right.That's why I'm very grateful to her.Mrs.Anderson, we're family…” The tears in Mrs.Anderson's eyes were close to falling.She moved the walking stick in her hands.
Her eyelids drooped downward and she said, "We're not related by blood, so we aren't family.’
The sense of alienation from her was very obvious.
Simon also got onto his feet.
He pointed at Henry and said angrily, "You already found your next wife when my sister wasn't even dead yet? Are you still human? We don't have a family like you here!"
Henry had originally thought that the Andersons would accept Wendy if he worded it like that, but unexpectedly, his plans had backfired.
Seeing how worked up they were, his eyes flickered and he smiled and said, "Mom, Simon.Whether you recognize me as family or not, I'm still Nora's father.This relationship between the two of us will never be severed."
