Chapter 289 Two Men
Mortimer was taken aback for a moment and asked, "How did Nora suspect?"
Magnus said, "She pinched my face hard this morning, probably to see if I was wearing a human skin mask."
Mortimer lightly curled his lips.
Luckily, Barrett's face was real.
Even if Nora sensed something was off with Magnus, seeing Barrett's face, which looked exactly like Magnus's, she wouldn't suspect Barrett was fake, she'd just think he had a drastic change in personality.
Mortimer said, "It's fine, you stay by her side. As long as your face is real, she won't discover you're an impostor."
Barrett obediently nodded.
Mortimer's eyes darkened as he thought of Nora and Isaac kissing.
He could tell that Nora still had some psychological barriers with Isaac.
Their kiss seemed like some kind of task. But excessive intimacy between a man and a woman can easily spark the flames of love.
If things continued like this, it was only a matter of time before Nora fully accepted Isaac, which he couldn't let that happen.
Mortimer was silent for a moment, then said to Barrett, "Barrett, you need to act on what I told you before quickly. We can't delay any longer."
Barrett nodded seriously. "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible. Uncle Mortimer, can I also take action against Nora?" There was obvious resentment in his eyes.
When he heard Nora's name, his eyes grew colder. He seemed to hate Nora, his mother, more than Isaac, his father.
During the days he impersonated Magnus, Nora treated him very well, giving him whatever he wanted. But the better Nora treated him, the more intense Barrett's hatred grew. Because he knew that her love was originally meant for Magnus. She had long forgotten about him, whom she abandoned at birth.
Mortimer said sternly, "No, you are not allowed to touch Nora."
Barrett's eyes dimmed a bit, but he still obediently nodded. "Got it, if you don't want me to, I won't. I'll listen to you."
The butler who raised him had told him every day since he could remember that his biological parents didn't want him and even tried to kill him when he was born.
It was Mortimer who secretly saved him, gave him a second chance at life. His life belonged to Mortimer. Whatever Mortimer wanted him to do, he had to do.
The butler had taught him skills since he could walk, so he could work for Mortimer. He had always worked hard, always wanting to repay Mortimer. So he would definitely complete the task and not let him down!
"Uncle Mortimer," Barrett looked at Mortimer expectantly and said, "After I complete the task, can I live with you?"
Mortimer said, "I can only give you a definite answer after you finish the task."
Barrett felt a bit disappointed. But his eyes were still full of determination. He would definitely make it!
The car moved slowly.
At the kindergarten entrance, Mortimer got out of the car with Barrett.
Nora and Isaac got out with Soren.
Then they handed the two children over to their teacher.
The simultaneous appearance of Isaac and Mortimer drew everyone's attention.
Nora and Isaac were both strikingly attractive, and Magnus and Soren were also exceptionally good-looking.
From the first day they brought their children to school, many people had noticed them. They thought they were a family of four.
But now, where did this extra man come from?
This complicated love triangle.
Some people felt envious.
After all, whether it was Isaac or Mortimer, their physiques, looks, and auras were better than any celebrity.
But some people speculated about their relationship in private.
Those voices weren't quiet, and occasionally a few words would drift into Nora's ears.
She didn't know if they were unintentional or deliberately said for her to hear.
"This family is really a mess, one woman with two men, and they still have the nerve to go out together. Aren't they afraid of being laughed at?"
"Whose kids do you think they are?"
"Maybe one belongs to each of them?"
"That can't be. These two kids are twins, conceived at the same time. It's impossible for one to belong to each man."
"Why not? As long as she had sex with both men in a short period, she could conceive two different men's children at the same time. It's not like it hasn't been reported in the news."
"If these two men can amicably take the kids to school together, they can probably amicably have sex together too."
Nora was furious. She could tolerate people gossiping about her.
But they were making up stories about two three-year-old kids. Were they even human?
Nora walked towards those blatantly gossiping women with a stern face. But before she could take a few steps, someone moved faster than her.
Six crisp slaps echoed loudly at the kindergarten entrance.
The sound was very loud, and the surrounding noise instantly disappeared. Everyone turned to look at the six women who had been slapped.
They were slapped so hard that fell to the ground.
One had a bleeding nose, and another lost a tooth!
All six were dizzy from the slaps, and it took them a while to come to their senses. Then they angrily pointed at Isaac and cursed, "How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am? I'm Archibald's wife from the Hargraves Group. How dare you hit me? My husband won't let you off!"
The Hargraves Group was a large company in Aridonia, supplying all the construction materials for the real estate industry, whose assets were also among the top five in Aridonia.
There were only five companies in Aridonia more powerful than the Hargraves Group, so this woman thought the man in front of her couldn't be more powerful than her husband and started cursing him, the other five women also joined in.
"How dare you hit me? You're dead. My husband won't let you off!"
"How dare you hit me?"
"You're a man hitting a woman. Do you have any shame? A man who only hits women, if you have the guts, tell me your name. I'll make sure my husband destroys you and your family in Aridonia!"
"Yeah, tell us your name. I'll make sure you pay for what you've done!"
"You've offended us, which means you've offended our families. You're dead!"
Facing the women's threats, Isaac remained expressionless, but the coldness in his eyes grew more dangerous and chilling.
"Apologize," he said in a cold voice, "Apologize immediately for what you just said. If my wife forgives you, I'll let you go. Otherwise, there will be six more beggars in Aridonia tomorrow."
