Chapter 920 - 611: Art Exhibition [05] Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Supporting Each Other [17 Updates]
Unlike at the Langley Residence, where life was comfortable but entertainment activities were limited.
At Cloudwater Haven...
Oh, it also seems pretty limited there.
However, entertainment activities like playing games and poker are quite suitable for these young people.
"Where’s Miss Thomason?"
Nora Scott was lounging on the sofa, chatting with Fátima.
Fátima casually said, "Your Miss Thomason doesn’t have any time off left. But she retires in December, and she’ll have plenty of time to fool around."
Retiring in December.
Pedro Langley subconsciously glanced over.
"She enlisted early," Fátima noticed his confusion and explained, "Ten years."
"I heard she’s only a year older than Nora."
That means she’s just twenty-six.
"Yes." Fátima nodded, "She has quite a unique experience."
It’s not appropriate to talk much about April Thomason’s matters.
Pedro Langley and Nora Scott didn’t inquire further.

The next afternoon, Nora Scott had lunch and then drove to the Langley Residence to pick up Flora Loughton.
She didn’t bring along Pedro Langley or Marsh Langley.
This was an outing for the two ladies themselves.
Flora Loughton had afternoon tea with Nora Scott, and then prepared to set off. Before leaving, she was a bit worried, "Nora, are you driving? Maybe we should call the driver."
In her mind, someone like Nora Scott, a Heavenly Immortal, shouldn’t be associated with driving.
"No need, I—" I’m pretty good at driving.
Before she could finish explaining, Flora Loughton took the initiative and said, "Having another person would be inconvenient, let me drive."
Nora Scott thought it over, found it didn’t matter, and agreed, handing the keys to Flora Loughton.
Then, Nora regretted it immediately.
—Flora Loughton has road rage.
She couldn’t imagine what Flora, such a gentle person, would be like when her road rage flared up, but she saw it firsthand.
When she mentioned this to Pedro Langley in the backseat, Pedro responded with a string of ellipses.
Then said, "That’s why we have a family driver."
Nora Scott: ??? 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Your family’s driver isn’t there just for appearances?!
Thankfully, Nora Scott’s strong mentality allowed her to calmly accept the scene of Flora Loughton’s road rage. After things calmed down, she continued to be sisters with Flora as if nothing happened, their relationship as strong as ever.
Hmm.
Just a minor road rage incident; she can even drift and race cars.

The largest theater in Fenton City, which Nora Scott frequently visited when she wanted to hone her acting skills.
Her most recent visit was earlier this year when Easton wanted to meet Pedro Langley. Pedro refused to communicate with her citing a "cold war," eventually arranging to meet at the theater.
At that time, Flora Loughton was performing on stage, but Nora did not know who Flora was and didn’t pay attention.
This time, it was much more convenient, as Flora Loughton had acquaintances here, took a backdoor entrance, and directly took Nora backstage.
"Among the people you’ll meet later, two are quite elderly. They’ve been performing in the theater since the 1960s and 70s and have witnessed its ups and downs. They’re retiring from performance now and have moved to backstage work. In a few years, they probably won’t even be working backstage..."
Flora Loughton spoke with quite some emotion.
She introduced everything to Nora Scott along the way until they reached the large backstage lounge.
Lead actors have their private rooms while group actors gather together. The backstage teachers were still engaged in the art, dedicatedly teaching and discussing even in their senior years, showcasing an admirable dedication that earned respect.
Flora and Nora stood outside without disturbing them.
"Professor Loughton, you’ve arrived." A teacher noticed them and came over, glanced at Nora Scott with amazement, "Is this the young person you mentioned?"
"Yes." Flora introduced, "Her name is Nora Scott."
She didn’t clarify her relationship with Nora nor mention Nora’s impressive achievements.
In this place, those details didn’t matter.
The teacher nodded, "Come, let’s go somewhere else to talk. It’s too noisy here."
Thus, Nora Scott and Flora Loughton followed the teacher to an empty lounge. Perhaps Flora had arranged things in advance, as soon more teachers and theater actors came in, and proactively introduced themselves to Nora Scott.
Nora Scott enjoyed socializing and naturally felt a liking for such artists, performing excellently with a humble and amiable demeanor. She was knowledgeable, ensuring conversations were engaging, attracting interest, and keeping the atmosphere harmonious.
In the end, without needing Flora to say a word, they all actively added Nora Scott on WeChat, seemingly fond of her.
There was some time before the show began, but since everyone was quite busy, the conversation didn’t last long before they had to leave.
The lounge was left at their disposal.
Nora Scott and Flora Loughton sat for a while when her phone vibrated with an incoming call. She glanced at it and said, "I’ll go take this call."
