Book 2 : She Becomes Glamorous After the Engagement

Chapter 22

Chapter 676: Coming to Die?

When he saw her walking out, Justin hurriedly followed.

Nora ran to her car quickly. She did not even open the car door, her figure entered through the open window.

This series of movements was like flowing water. Before Justin could run to the front passenger seat, her car had already started.

Seeing that he could not catch up, Justin jumped forward and pulled the door to the front passenger seat.

He also wanted to follow Nora’s movements. Unfortunately, his figure was too tall. Even if he was thin and fit, he had a big frame and could not enter.

He could only open the car door to sit in the front passenger seat.

Before he could even sit properly, the car had rushed out.

Justin sat there steadily before closing the car door and buckling his seatbelt. He held the handle with one hand and then looked at Nora. “Do you know who it is?”

“Yeah.”

Nora stared ahead. Her almond-shaped eyes were especially focused. There was a faint expression of seriousness when she was driving. Her thin lips slowly moved. “When I arrived at the gate, a car delivering the king crabs had just driven away.”

Justin: “How do you know it’s them?”

This was the best time to save the child. If they missed this time, it would be difficult to find them.

It was not that Justin did not trust her, but he wanted to ask her clearly.

Nora: “Logically speaking, a delivery car shouldn’t have a black film on the windows. Besides, that car was clean. There was no dirt on the axle at all. The butler said that they were fresh king crabs sent directly from the sea. How is that possible?”

Just now, she had felt that something was wrong, but she was anxious to see Xander, so she did not bother. But now that she thought about it, Nora quickly caught the main point.

Justin did not retort again, acknowledging her choice.

At the same time, he took out his phone and began to order the bodyguards at home to block the way. He contacted Brenda from the special department. When Brenda heard that Pete had been kidnapped, she was immediately furious. “F*ck? They are kidnapping my nephew? Brother, wait. I’ll bring everyone from the special department to save my little nephew! Tell Nora too, don’t be anxious. With me around, there definitely won’t be a problem. Tell her not to be impulsive—Just wait at home and don’t cry. I’ll definitely bring Pete back!”

Justin silently glanced at Nora, who was driving crazily, and replied, “Okay…”

After hanging up, he was silent for a moment before asking, “Xander, he…”

“I gave birth to triplets back then.”

Nora said straightforwardly, “Charles confessed.”

When he heard about the triplets, Justin’s eyes lit up!

To be honest, after interacting with Xander for this period of time, he could not say that he had no feelings for this child. Now, he was also born from Nora. It was simply perfect for him.

However, he suddenly thought of something and his eyes darkened. “It’s… It’s Xander who kidnapped Pete…”

Nora clenched her jaw.

She stared ahead and suddenly said, “Even if he did, it doesn’t matter. The child has followed Trueman since he was young. It’s normal for him to have learned bad things. This is our responsibility. He has a long life. We’ll turn him back to the good side in the future!”

When Justin heard this, he fell silent.

That was not what he meant.

He was worried that if the brothers hurt each other, it would leave a psychological trauma on Pete.

He had known Pete since he was young. He knew his character very well. He was strong and vengeful. No matter who it was, as long as they did not treat him well, he would definitely not give them a chance.

He had been diagnosed with mild autism when he was young, and few people could enter his heart.

However, Xander had hurt him. He would probably never be his friend again.

If her two sons were distant, Nora would also have a headache in the future. When Trueman sent the child back, he should have realized that the truth could not be hidden. However, he still sent the child back.

This was his goal!

She fell silent and did not think about this question again. After all, the priority was to save the two children.

Nora sped like she was in a race. On the way out of the Hunt Manor, she drove at almost 150 miles an hour. Five minutes later, she caught up to the car in front.

Nora narrowed her eyes and stepped on the accelerator again.

However, just as she was about to overtake him, the car in front suddenly became two.

There were two cars. They drove back to back. The two cars separated at the junction ahead and sped up.

Screech!

Nora’s car stopped at the junction.

She looked at the two roads and looked at Justin without hesitation. “You go to the left, I’ll go to the right!”

Justin did not waste his breath and got out of the car decisively. “Okay.”

As soon as he got out of the car, Nora’s car chased after the car on the right.

After Justin got out of the car, a minute later, a sports car from the Hunt's stopped beside him. He pulled the driver out. “Trash, you’re too slow.”

The driver was speechless.

He was already driving the fastest he could!

He really did not understand how Miss Smith had driven an ordinary jeep like a sports car?!

Justin did not give him a chance to speak again and ran off!

The king crab minivan drove much faster than ordinary cars.

After separating from the dummy car at the junction to confuse them, the two bodyguards drove toward the countryside.

One of them looked back and said, “Justin got out of the car, but that woman is chasing after us. F*ck, I really don’t know how she’s driving that car. Has it been modified? It’s so fast! She’s about to catch up to us!”

The other person frowned. “Has she caught

up?”

“Yes! The car is only five meters away from us!”

“Then stop the car and kidnap her too! We can report this to Trueman! Isn’t she walking straight into a trap?”

“Okay!”

The car stopped. There was no one else on the road.

The two bodyguards got out of the car.

In the car.

Xander pushed Pete’s arm and could not help but complain, “Your Mommy is quite good-looking, but her brain isn’t that good, is it? How can she rush over so recklessly?”

Pete rolled his eyes at him. “You’re not allowed to talk about my mother like that. Also, my mother is very powerful. She’s here to save us!”

He had subconsciously used the word ‘us’, and it warmed Xander’s heart.

He raised his chin and snorted. “I don’t think she’s here to save you. She’s here to make trouble, right? She’s alone after all. Besides, do you know how strong those two bodyguards are?”

After saying that, he thought back to the bodyguards subduing Butterscotch and could not help but shiver.

Even Justin might not be able to beat them. Nora was just a woman. Wasn’t she here to court death?

Chapter 677: I’m Your Mommy pt.1

Xander stretched his neck nervously and looked behind the glass window.

His small body leaned against the seat. His eyes were filled with nervousness and fear. These two bodyguards had left too much fear in his young heart.

Trueman probably knew this too, which was why he had sent these two people.

Because if it was anyone else, Xander would definitely not be so obedient.

He was famous for being unreasonable and domineering. At home, he would always bully others, except for these two bodyguards.

When Xander thought of this, he could not help but sigh silently. “Pete, your mother is finished this time.”

Pete: “?”

He rolled his eyes. “Talk about your own mommy! My mommy is super powerful!”

Xander pursed his lips when he heard this. “My mother died long ago. My father said that my mother died after giving birth to me.”

When Pete heard this, he was stunned.

He had not expected Xander to say such a thing.

He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly reached out and patted Xander’s shoulder to comfort him. “I’m sorry.”

He apologized for his words.

Xander waved his hand casually. “You didn’t know that my mother is dead, so I don’t blame you. However, your mother is near her end too.”

Pete: “…”

Xander bit his lip and reported the situation outside to Pete. Pete’s legs were still tied, so he could not sit up. Then, he heard Xander say nervously, “Your mother got out of the car… She’s walking toward the two bodyguards… She glanced at me. Although there’s a black film on the glass, she should have seen me, right? Then she should know that you’re in the car. Pete, your mother started chatting with the two bodyguards. Is she begging for mercy?”

Pete collapsed into his seat and struggled to get up. “I’d rather believe that she’s sleeping than that she’s begging for mercy right now.”

With his mother’s character, it wouldn’t be her style if she didn’t beat up those people until they were looking for their teeth on the ground.

Mommy was Quinn School of Martial Arts’ Big Sister!

He was able to learn martial arts because of Mr. Quinn’s respect for her.

At the thought of this, Pete, who was lying on the chair, placed his hands on the chair and wanted to stand up. However, Xander was pressing down on him, preventing him from coming up.

He pushed Xander and said, “Help me untie the rope on my legs. I’ll help Mommy.”

Xander glanced at him. “Forget it. Can you even help?”

The dizzy Pete: “…”

Although he was a very smart child and knew that he had to hold his breath when the bodyguard covered his mouth with the drug, he still could not control his breath. He had inhaled some of the drug, so his entire body was limp now. This was also the reason why he had not stood up despite struggling.

Xander looked at him and pursed his lips. “Besides, your mother might be discussing the price with them and planning to sell you!”

Pete: “Mommy can die for me, why would she sell me?”

Xander rolled his eyes. “How could that be? Why would a person die for someone else?”

He had been cold to others since he was young, and he did not have any feelings for anyone else. He did not feel any kinship at all. He only had a little reliance on Trueman as his father.

However, Trueman had never hugged him or called him lovingly. He had never said things like he loved him and would protect him.

Trueman would always stand there and say to him condescendingly, “Xander, you have to protect yourself. Otherwise, you’re not fit to be my son! When you encounter danger, only you can protect yourself. You have to be selfish, understand?”.

One time, Xander had even asked Trueman, “Daddy, if I fell into the water, would you save me?”

Trueman had sneered. “No, although I know how to swim, there’s no rationality in a drowning person. How many people have died in the water to save others? Why should I put myself in danger for you?”

This was the education Xander had received since he was young, so he did not believe that Nora would die for Pete.

However, Pete looked at him in surprise. “Any parent in the world would give up everything for the child. Although there are bad fathers, they are still the minority. Protecting children and making sacrifices for them is human nature.”

“How is that possible?”

Xander still did not believe him.

Pete sighed. “Why don’t you believe in a parents’ love for their child?”

Love?

What was love?

Xander grimaced. “This is too mystical. I don’t understand a thing. Besides, do you think the tyrant loves me? I’ve been back for so long, but I haven’t felt his fatherly love even once!”

When Pete heard this, he was silent for a moment.

Then, he comforted him. “That’s because you weren’t in danger. Besides, it’s not that Dad doesn’t love you. He just… needs to make a choice. If he’s too close to you, Mommy and I might be unhappy.”

Xander fell silent before he snorted coldly. “So, love has conditions, doesn’t it?”

Pete was speechless.

To Xander, Justin’s love did have a condition. The condition was that Xander did not hurt Nora, Pete, and Cherry.

And once he hurt them, Justin would definitely give up on him.

However, if outsiders came to bully Xander, Justin could also risk his life for him.

In this world, any family would have preferences. With so many children, most parents could not really love them all equally.

However, parents loved their children.

Pete did not defend Justin. Anyone could say this to Xander, but he could not.

Just as Pete was feeling conflicted, he suddenly heard Xander cry out in shock, “Ah, your mommy’s been beaten!”

Pete was shocked. He twisted his body and wanted to sit up to look back. He asked anxiously, “What happened to my mommy?”

“She was beaten! One of them attacked suddenly and she was hit. How pitiful!”

Xander grinned. “Pete, from today onwards, you’re going to be a motherless child like me~ Hahahaha.”

Pete frowned. Although he knew that Xander’s words could not be trusted, when he thought about how powerful those two bodyguards were, how they had easily stuffed him into the car, he felt a little worried.

Mommy had been busy these past few days. Could it be that she was not feeling well and was about to faint? Was that why that person had succeeded?

No, he wanted to save Mommy!

At the thought of this, Pete struggled violently again. When Xander saw him, he suddenly said, “Isn’t it good to have no Mommy? No one will control you anymore!”

Chapter 678: I’m Your Mommy pt.2

Pete glared at him. “I’d rather be controlled by her for the rest of my life!”

Xander was stunned when he heard this.

The little person suddenly fell silent. He could not help but ask again, “Is a mother really that important to a person? Didn’t you just reunite with your Mommy? You didn’t have her in the past five years either!”

Pete was so anxious that his eyes turned red. Although he knew that his mother might be fine, he lost his mind when it involved her.

He shouted, “You haven’t had a mommy before. You don’t understand the feeling of having a mommy! Mommy’s embrace is warm, and Mommy’s body is soft. Mommy will speak softly, kiss my forehead, and call me baby… So move aside and let me up. I want to save Mommy! I can’t lose Mommy!”

Pete’s cries made Xander fall silent again. He watched as Pete propped himself up with his small arms, but fell down again because of the drug. Xander suddenly said, “Your mother is fine. I was joking.”

Pete was taken aback.

Xander’s face tensed up as he glanced back and continued, “They haven’t attacked yet, but it seems like they haven’t reached an agreement. They’re about to attack. Forget it, I’m in a good mood today and don’t want to kill anyone. I’ll save your mother!”

With that, he pushed Pete away and quietly opened the car door before getting out.

He walked forward step by step.

He was already extremely afraid when he saw the backs of the two bodyguards.

Butterscotch had been his sky back then, and his sky had been pierced by these two bodyguards. Xander had been fearless since he was young, but he was afraid of these two bodyguards.

Now, he wanted to save Pete and Cherry’s mother from the hands of these two bodyguards. Thinking about it, he felt like he had gone crazy!

However, when he saw Pete struggling and Nora driving to catch up to him, he felt inexplicably sad.

So this was how it felt to have a mommy!

At the thought of this, he mustered his courage and walked toward them.

As soon as he approached them, he heard the two bodyguards say, “Miss Smith, since you don’t know how to appreciate my kindness, don’t blame me for being nasty!”

With that, the two of them attacked.

The few of them did not see that Xander had silently slipped out. At this moment, he was hiding behind a tree.

When Xander heard their words, he suddenly became anxious. He suddenly shouted and rushed to the two bodyguards with his eyes closed, hugging one of their legs tightly. Then, Xander shouted, “You’re not allowed to hurt Cherry’s mother!”

The two bodyguards were stunned.

One of them narrowed his eyes and sneered. “Xander, you’re really insensible. Mr. Yale has instructed us. If you’re insensible, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”

Xander was already trembling in fear when he heard his words.

He swallowed hard and looked at Nora. He shouted, “Pete’s mommy, run quickly! I’ll spare your life today!”

With that, he looked at the bodyguards again. “I said, you’re not allowed to hurt her!”

The bodyguard chuckled softly and bent down to grab his collar. Xander was immediately picked up.

His feet left the ground and kicked in the air as he glared at the bodyguard in fear.

Pete, I helped you save your mommy!

But where was his mother?

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, he suddenly heard a deep and cold voice. “You’re courting death.”

Xander was stunned.

He wanted to know who was looking for death, so he turned around and saw that Nora’s expression had become dark. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with coldness.

Her gaze was fixed on the bodyguard’s hand that was holding him, and she quickly took a step forward.

Another bodyguard had already jumped in front of them. “Miss Smith, we’re lecturing the child on behalf of Mr. Yale. You don’t have to worry. I’ll play with you…”

Xander: !!

Why was Pete’s mother so stupid? She still wanted to fight!

The bodyguard was almost a head taller than her and was strong. Although she was also very tall, she was like a child when she stood in front of him.

Pete’s mommy is so stupid!

Xander was like a puppy. When he was being carried, he was anxious that Nora would not have the opportunity to escape.

Xander felt that it was all over.

Now, not only was Pete captured, but his mother was also going to be captured. As for him, he had violated his father’s wishes. After he was captured, he would definitely be locked in the basement for a year.

He would even make these two bodyguards educate him well…

Xander could not help but shiver when he thought of that scene.

At this moment, he was in despair.

However, in his despair, he suddenly had a ridiculous idea.

If his mother was still alive, would she come and save him?

Just as this thought surfaced in his mind, he heard a loud bang. Xander could not help but cover his eyes.

It was all over.

That bodyguard was indeed powerful. Pete’s mother had been beaten up so badly!

He did not even dare to look…

When Pete sees this, he would definitely cry…

After these thoughts flashed through his mind, he heard the bodyguard holding him say in a deep voice, “Have you learned wrestling before?”

Xander: “?”

He subconsciously widened the gap between his fingers and looked, only to see that the other demon bodyguard had collapsed on the ground.

A long leg stepped on his back, preventing him from breaking free.

Moving up that leg, he saw Nora standing there against the light. Her voice was still cold, but the words she said were like the sound of nature. “Let go of the child. I’ll play with you.”

Xander was placed on the ground in a daze. Then, he saw the bodyguard, who had held him like a pillar, exchange only three blows with the woman before being slammed to the ground.

Then, he saw the woman send him flying far away with a kick. His body left a long mark on the ground.

The two bodyguards who could subdue Butterscotch and who could never be defeated in his eyes fell to the ground and vomited blood, unable to get up.

Then, the woman looked at him and walked toward him.

The sun behind her was about to set. It emitted a dazzling red light and shone a warm light on this woman.

At this moment, Xander suddenly had an idea.

How good would it be if she was his mother?

However, he then lowered his head and realized that his thoughts were ridiculous and hilarious.

How was this possible?
