Chapter 331: Are You Taking Apprentices?
Nora was terribly amused. It seemed like the right time to have a good chat with the young man, and let him know how strong she was.
She said calmly, “You don’t have to follow me around.”
Then, without waiting for Quentin’s response, she went up the stairs.
Quentin: “…”
He stared angrily after Nora. He was about to say something mean when, for some reason, he suddenly found her kinda familiar to the eye.
Although she was wearing trousers whereas No. 028 was always in either a long black or red dress, the two of them actually looked somewhat similar from the back.
He must be mistaken.
No. 028 was such a frank and straightforward person. How could she possibly be Nora?
Just like how No. 820’s physique was similar to Big Brother’s, there were a ton of people in the world with similar body builds!
Quentin shook his head and dispelled the thought. At this point, someone walked over from a short distance away, giving Quentin such a shock that he hurriedly hid into the dark.
He had become so accustomed to being in the limelight at the underground arena that he had actually forgotten to hide, causing himself to almost expose his existence to the Smiths’ servants.

After Nora entered the living room, she had pretty much rid herself of Quentin. He would never openly show up in front of others.
Pete was already home and was currently playing blocks with Mia.
Mia spoke softly, so even though Pete felt that what she was playing with was very boring, he nevertheless accompanied her with a frown.
The simple-minded Brandon circled around the two. He said, “Mia, why are you so stupid?! You can’t do that there… Ah! It collapsed!”
Mia pouted and stared at Brandon in silence.
Brandon panicked. “Hey, don’t cry. Little crybaby, please don’t cry. I won’t touch your things anymore, okay?”
Pete heaved a sigh. He slowly bent over and easily arranged Mia’s blocks back into the previous state for her.
Mia cheered up and said, “Thank you, Cherry.”
Pete replied stoically and habitually, “You’re welcome… yeah.”
Nora: “…”
Why was her son talking so weirdly? Cough.
While she was thinking about it, Pete, who seemingly sensed her looking at him, looked over. The little boy’s dark eyes lit up at once and he called out, “Mommy.”
He sounded a bit like he was wheedling.
Nora raised her eyebrows, immediately realizing that the little fellow must have something to ask of her. She nodded and went up the stairs.
When she entered the bedroom on the upper floor and looked behind her, sure enough, she saw Pete closing the door.
Nora sat on the sofa casually. “What’s the matter?”
Pete walked up to her at a snail’s pace. The hesitant boy observed her facial expression again and again before he finally asked, “Mommy, can you ask God-mom to teach Mia how to dance?”
Nora was surprised. “You want Tanya to teach Mia how to dance?”
“Yeah.”
Pete frowned and said, “Mia likes dancing very much. Whenever we have dance classes, she always hides outside the door and secretly learns how to dance together with us. God-mom has already spotted her several times, but she just doesn’t take her as a student.”
Nora licked her lips. “Okay, I’ll ask her about it.”
“Okay.” Pete smiled and said, “I’ll go out and play with Mia.”
“Go ahead.”
After Pete left, Nora decided to call Tanya. However, just as she was about to do so, she instead received a video call from Tanya herself.
As soon as she picked up, she saw Tanya’s face taking up the entire screen. Her loud voice also rang out. “Little Nora, do you miss me?”
Nora: “…”
“Your mother-in-law is asking you to come over and visit when you’re free. Hasn’t it been really long since you last came over to my place?” Tanya continued to holler, her voice so loud that it made Nora’s temples throb.
Nora kept quiet for a while. Then, she suddenly asked, “How have you been lately?”
At the mention of the topic, Tanya heaved a huge sigh and said, “I found someone with great potential for dancing recently. She’s even the first person I’ve developed an interest in, apart from Cherry. Do you think I should take her as an apprentice?”
Tanya propped her chin on her hand. She looked like she was in a dilemma as she said, “But I don’t really get along with her parents. On the one hand, I really want to take her as an apprentice, but on the other, I also want to stay away from her. I’m so troubled about this…”
