Chapter 777: Chapter 494: Nora Scott: Sooner or Later, I’ll Marry Him [Second Update]

[Loughton]: Nora, I saw the news online. Is Miguel Smith your boyfriend?

Seeing this message, Nora Scott’s hand shook, almost dropping her phone to the ground.

???

Almost forgot about the elders!

Nora didn’t mind the rumors much, thinking it was all just idle talk from netizens, whatever. She knew Pedro Langley wouldn’t think much of it either, just get a bit annoyed at the netizens’ remarks. After all, it was Pedro who didn’t want to go public; teasing Pedro a bit made her feel better.

However, the two had been together for so long, and with Ernesto Scott not really caring about her, Nora had completely forgotten that Pedro’s parents were still around...

Just when her reputation was beginning to improve, now Loughton sees rumors of her "late-night rendezvous" with Miguel Smith. Could she be misunderstood as being unfaithful to Pedro...

Very likely.

Flora Loughton knew she was dating Pedro yet still asked, clearly probing.

Nora has always let people talk and didn’t care what others thought of her. But now, given that "Loughton is Pedro’s mother," she couldn’t help but care about Loughton’s opinion.

Instead of replying to the message immediately, Nora opened her contacts, put on Bluetooth earbuds, and dialed Pedro Langley.

"Hmm?"

Pedro was evidently a bit surprised to receive the call.

"Would your mom have a problem with her future daughter-in-law having rumors with someone else?" Nora asked directly.

The stylist, who was working on Nora’s eyebrows, accidentally jerked, almost throwing the pencil off.

!!!

Woah, what’s this explosive news!

Nora’s partner is definitely not Miguel Smith!

On the phone, Pedro paused for a moment, then said, "My mom’s not a saint."

"So?"

"She’ll think like any ordinary mother-in-law."

Nora: "..." So she would have issues with her, huh.

At that moment, Pedro changed his tone and spoke slowly, "But as an understanding boyfriend..."

Nora didn’t think twice before interrupting him, "I feel like you’re setting me up again."

Seeing through her, Pedro didn’t even try to smooth things over, just went along with it, "It’s up to you to jump in or not."

Tch.

Outside, dealing with countless netizens and enemies wanting her downfall was one thing, but at home, she still had to guard against a boyfriend who might set traps for her anytime. Life was truly tough.

Exhaling a bit, Nora didn’t back down, "You speak first."

"As a future daughter-in-law, meet your future mother-in-law. She approaches you with ulterior motives, meeting her would make her guilty," Pedro said very considerately, "Madam, if you have the upper hand at the first meeting, she will surely treat you well for life."

Nora was amused by him, "Does your mom know you’re so into your future wife?"

Pedro replied confidently, "She wishes."

From childhood, Flora Loughton taught her three sons that a man should be independent outside, and good to his wife inside the home. There were many teachings in the Langley family, and this was the most important, almost ingrained into them.

Although Pedro tended to side with outsiders, being a bit unscrupulous, as that "outsider," Nora was quite pleased with Pedro’s performance.

She wasn’t against Pedro’s proposal.

Although she had never wanted to meet Pedro’s parents, she already knew Loughton and got along well, and had previously met Thomas and Lucas Langley; both brothers were easy to get along with, and their impressions of each other were good.

Now, with Pedro mentioning meeting them, Nora didn’t feel as resistant as before.

After considering for a few seconds, Nora made a decision, "Mention it to them, I have two days off after filming at school, we can meet then."

Pedro was surprised by how quickly Nora agreed, a bit taken aback, but his voice clearly carried a hint of happiness.

This man rarely showed his emotions, so if one could tell his mood was good, it truly was.

Nora couldn’t help but smile slightly.

After hanging up with Pedro, Nora reopened WeChat and started typing a message to Loughton.

[Nora]: No. Just having supper with friends; paparazzi stirring things up.

The usually unbothered Nora rarely explained herself.

Loughton’s message quickly returned.

[Loughton]: Really?

[Loughton]: So, is your relationship with your boyfriend still stable?

[Nora]: Yes.

[Nora]: Decided to meet the family soon.

After sending this, the other side suddenly went silent.

Meanwhile, in the yard, Marsh Langley, who was tending to flowers and plants, heard artist/professor Flora Loughton let out a startled yell, then ran over looking distraught.

Flora Loughton said, "Langley! Nora said she will meet the family soon! What do we do? Is there still time for me to be nicer to Pedro so he can say nice things about me?!"

Marsh Langley: "..." Do you know you’re the elder here, shouldn’t the younger ones worry about meeting you?

...

Seeing no reply from Loughton, Nora could guess—Pedro’s suggestion worked.

Only a mother knows her child best.

She wondered if in the future, her and Pedro’s kids would be inclined to side with outsiders...

Stop!

Nora shivered at her own subconscious thought.

Was it because Pedro cast a spell on her, the thought of marriage had never crossed her mind, yet she subconsciously thought of such things...

At this moment, the stylist, who had been silent and restless due to the mental soap opera, finally couldn’t resist speaking after glancing at Nora, "You’re at the stage of discussing marriage with your boyfriend?"

Putting away her phone, Nora looked at her and unexpectedly affirmed, "Yes."

The stylist was surprised, "You’re so popular now, and still young, don’t you think getting married this early is a loss?"

Nora thought for a second, then slightly tilted her head and smiled, "I’ll have to marry him eventually, doesn’t matter when."
