Book 2 : She Becomes Glamorous After the Engagement

Chapter 23

Chapter 679: I’m Your Mommy pt.3

Deep envy for Pete and Cherry suddenly rose in Xander’s heart.

First, Justin planned to abandon him for them.

Then, they had such a powerful mother.

The two of them were really too blessed.

As he was thinking, the bodyguard who had been kicked away by the woman suddenly said, “Xander, we’re all doing this for you. How can you be like this?”

With that, Xander immediately looked at the woman in front of her in a panic.

He wanted to explain, but he suddenly felt that there was no need to. This person was originally his enemy. Even if he said something, would this person believe him?

Just like when he was accused last time, he had shut his mouth tightly and did not explain anything to Justin. At this moment, he became stubborn again, and an awkward and aggrieved feeling rose in his heart.

He stared at Nora.

The woman in front of him suddenly narrowed her eyes filled with hostility and killing intent.

Ever since he was young, Xander had been most afraid of these two bodyguards. They had left an irreparable wound in his heart.

The second was Trueman.

Yes, he was afraid of Trueman.

Although Trueman had never fought in front of him or hit him, he was very perceptive and had intuition.

He knew that he had to curry favor with Trueman in order to live well.

Justin was the third person he was afraid of. The aura he occasionally emitted was frightening.

The woman in front of him was clearly thin. Compared to the other men, she seemed a little too thin.

However, for some reason, Xander felt a strong ruthlessness and killing intent at this moment. It made him feel even more afraid than the two bodyguards did.

Xander’s small body trembled.

Trueman’s father had said that he was this woman’s thorn in the flesh. She would find a chance to get rid of him.

So, was this the opportunity?

She would kill him and say that she had accidentally injured him when she was saving Pete. That would be perfect!

This thought suddenly gave rise to a rebellious state in Xander’s heart.

Then, he watched as the woman suddenly rushed toward him. She even reached out a fist and aimed it at his head.

Xander did not move or dodge.

Perhaps it could be said that the woman was too fast and he did not have time to react at all. He could only feel the wind of the punch coming at him before he closed his eyes.

Living was tiring and he did not have any dignity.

However, Xander had never wanted to die.

Was he going to die here today?

A loud bang was heard. Then, he heard someone grunt and fall to the ground with a heavy thud.

However, the expected pain and head injury did not arrive. Xander was stunned for a moment before he slowly opened one eye.

He saw her standing in front of him, waving her fists.

He turned around and saw that the first bodyguard who had been beaten down by her had collapsed behind him. He was holding a dagger in his hand.

Drip.

Something warm fell on his face,

ar

ce.

Xander looked up in a daze and saw that the woman’s hand was tightly clutching the blade of the dagger. Her fingers had been pierced by the sharp blade, and they were dripping with blood.

Xander understood.

Just now, the bodyguard behind him had wanted to kill him with a dagger. It was this woman who had saved him!

Xander did not expect this at all. He looked at Nora in a daze.

He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, the woman suddenly reached out with her other hand and grabbed the man’s shoulder. With a little force, she pulled him behind her.

“How dare you hurt him? You’re courting death!”

As these cold words came out, Nora suddenly stepped forward and swung her arm forcefully. The blade in her hand hit the bodyguard’s chest!

The bodyguard was stabbed in the heart and died on the spot.

Nora’s eyes were still shining with a fierce light. The killing intent around her was strong

She suddenly looked at the bodyguard she had kicked away and saw that he had bitten the poison in his mouth and died.

Both bodyguards were dead.

Xander looked at their corpses in disbelief, stunned.

“Don’t look.”

The woman covered his eyes with her intact hand and took him into her arms.

Xander’s body froze.

The woman’s embrace was warm and soft. It was completely different from Trueman’s body. It was fragrant, like medicine.

Was this the scent of Pete’s mother?

Xander’s nose suddenly felt sour.

He really wanted such a cool mother… But why did Pete’s mother want to protect him even if she had to get injured?

They were clearly on opposing sides?

When Xander thought of this, he secretly looked at Nora’s left hand. Her fingers had a huge wound pierced by the blade, and they were still bleeding.

However, Nora did not stop the bleeding. She only turned Xander’s head so that he could not see the two dead bodies. She asked in a very low voice, “Where’s Pete?”

At this moment, Pete’s safety was more important than reuniting with Xander.

These three words instantly jolted Xander back to reality.

He looked into the distance in a daze and pointed at the car. “In the car, he was drugged…”

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Nora quickly took him to the car.

When she arrived at the car and confirmed that there was no one else around, Nora opened the backseat door. She saw Pete sitting up with his butt sticking out.

Unfortunately, the drug’s effect made him feel weak all over.

Hearing the car door, Pete slowly raised his head. When he saw Nora, his eyes lit up. “Mommy!”

“Yes.”

Nora carried Pete out and checked his pulse. After confirming that the little guy had only fainted from a small amount of knockout drug and was fine, she relaxed.

Just now, she was really worried about Pete. They had only known each other for a few months…

“Mommy, I’m fine!”

Pete said softly and comforted Nora.

Xander looked at the two of them from the side, his eyes were already red.

He turned his head silently and looked to the side.

At this moment, he felt like a third wheel.

Actually, yes. He was redundant, to begin with.

Before he returned, his father had said that his mission was to destroy their family of four. But now, when he looked at Nora and Pete, he thought of Justin and Cherry.

Xander lowered his eyes and slowly moved.

His departure was indeed the best for them.

However, after taking two steps, his shoulder was suddenly held back.

Xander was stunned. He slowly turned around and saw Nora standing there, asking him curiously, “Where are you going?”

Where was he going?

At this moment, Xander suddenly felt extremely aggrieved by this question.

He also wanted to know where he was going!

If he left here after betraying his father, where could he go?

He would rather wander alone than harm their family of four again.

Xander sniffled and said arrogantly, “I can go wherever I want. Who are you to control me?”

Nora stared at the little boy and said slowly, “I’m your Mommy.”

Chapter 680: I’m Your Mommy pt.4

There was no one on this road and no cars in sight.

At this moment, there was only the sound of the wind blowing in the distance. Nora’s voice seemed to have merged with the wind, making Xander feel like he had heard something wrong.

He looked at Nora in confusion. He hesitated and asked, “What did you say?”

Nora looked at the little fellow.

Xander had been raised by Trueman since he was young. He had a strange and stubborn personality. At this moment, his entire body was prickling, as if he was resisting all the warmth from the outside world.

She turned to look at Pete. He was safe and had fallen asleep in peace.

Nora hugged Pete with one hand and reached out to Xander with the other that was covered in blood. “Let’s get to know each other. I’m your mother.”

Xander stared at the wound on her palm.

He still felt that he had heard incorrectly. “What mother? Stepmother?”

Could it be that because he had planned to save them, this woman was touched and had decided to adopt him?

The thought made him happy at first.

However, his happiness immediately sank.

He, Xander, wanted a mother, but he was definitely not fighting with others for one…

He took a step back and sneered. “I don’t need anyone else’s pity. Scram! I’m telling you, you don’t have to pretend in front of me. Justin isn’t here, either. Why must you?”

When Nora heard this, she sighed silently.

This child was really too cautious.

She was about to explain when a car arrived in the distance.

“Nora, don’t worry. I’m here to save you!”

Brenda shouted her slogan and jumped out of the car. When she saw the situation in front of her, she was stunned. “What? What’s going on?!"

Nora: “…”

Brenda looked around. “Where is he?”

Nora asked curiously, “Who?”

“The hero who saved you. Nora, don’t tell me you killed these two people.”

“No.”

Nora was a good citizen. How could she kill someone? She explained, “They committed suicide.”

Brenda got the others to check on the two dead bodyguards and confirmed that they had both committed suicide by poisoning.

The person who was stabbed in the heart by Nora had swallowed the poison after he was sent flying by Nora’s punch. Therefore, at this moment, it was unclear if he was killed by that hit or the poison.

How could Brenda care about this?

She only looked at Pete before glaring at Xander. “Xander, what did you do to Pete? You’re so small, how can you be so evil?!”

Xander laughed coldly when he heard this. He hugged his arms and stared at Brenda without saying a word.

Brenda was even more furious. “Tell me, who is your mother? How did she teach you to be like this? She’s too much! I must find her and chat!”

Xander lowered his eyes. He was about to say that her mother was already dead when he heard Nora say again, “What do you want to talk about?”

Brenda said angrily, “I want to talk about Xander’s thoughts, of course. How can he be so vicious at such a young age? He even harmed his half-brother!”

Nora lowered her eyes. “It’s not his fault.”

Before Nora had fought with the two bodyguards earlier, she had seen with her own eyes that Xander was planning to save her. Furthermore, when she went to hug Pete, she had also realized that the rope around his hand had loosened. This made her realize that there must be something else going on.

When Brenda heard this, she leaned close to Nora’s ear. “Nora, don’t worry. In my heart, I only recognize you as my sister-in-law. However, I have to investigate who gave birth to Xander. Besides, I definitely won’t let Pete suffer from this. If you feel uncomfortable, I’ll help you teach Xander a lesson!”

Nora: “There’s no need. I’ll do it myself.”

Brenda: “?”

She was stunned. “Aren’t you afraid of getting in conflict with my brother?”

Just as Brenda thought about this, she heard Nora say, “It’s the mother’s fault that the child was not educated properly. I’m his mother, so this doesn’t involve you.”

Brenda: “??!”

She was stunned.

She lowered her head to look at Xander and then looked up at Nora again. In the end, she still asked in disbelief, “Nora, you, you mean that Xander is your son?”

“Yes.”

Nora did not want to touch Xander with her bloody hands, so she stood in front of him.

Xander pursed his lips. “Hey, stupid woman. I told you, I don’t need sympathy, and I don’t need you to be my stepmother either. You…”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Nora suddenly turn back and look at him. She slowly squatted down and looked into his eyes. Then, she said word by word, “I’m not your stepmother. I’m your biological mother…”

Xander was stunned.

This time, he was really stunned.

He stared at Nora in disbelief. He only felt that the world was a fantasy.

Was he dreaming?

Did God hear his inner thoughts and make him hallucinate?

Xander swallowed, the words coming out of his mouth were very awkward and proud: “So what if you say that? My mother died long ago, my father said so. Do you have any evidence?”

Chapter 681: Birthday Party! pt.1

Five days later.

On the Hunt twin’s birthday, the entire house had been busy since morning. The birthday party was at dinner, but all kinds of fresh ingredients were sent in early in the morning.

The manor was busy but orderly.

In the hall of Justin’s villa.

Cherry was wearing a beautiful dress.

Pete was also wearing a suit, looking very gentlemanly.

However, Xander was wearing a set of casual clothes. He had a white short-sleeved shirt and black pants with a red jacket on top. No matter how one looked at it, he did not look dressed appropriately.

The butler stood at the side with a small suit on the tray in his hand, pleading with him. “Xander, young master, please change into this first.”

Xander reached out and pretended to grab them. He grinned and said, “Don’t call me that. Mr. Hunt and Ms. Smith haven’t proven that I’m their son yet. I won’t admit it!”

That’s right.

Xander had asked her that day, “Do you have any evidence?”

Nora’s answer had been, “Not for the time being. But I had given birth to triplets.”

Xander pursed his lips. “But that doesn’t mean that I’m the third!”

Nora: “?”

She felt that what he said made sense.

Xander became proud. He raised his chin and said, “If there’s no evidence, I won’t acknowledge you as my mother, even Justin might not be my real father!”

Nora: “…”

“So.” Xander raised his little chin. “Bring out the evidence If you want me to acknowledge you!” Nora realized that Xander had a proud personality. He liked it when others begged him…

Helpless, she could only agree.

Anyway, the DNA test report was about to come out…

Because Nora was injured, she had been staying in the Smith's for the past few days sleeping. Her way of recovery was through sleep.

Therefore, Pete and Cherry were both at the Hunt's.

Nora did not come today. When she woke up, she went to the hospital to look for Lily. She helped Lily by standing beside her and urging her to finish the report quickly.

She would only come back when she got the report.

Therefore, the few people in the hall were waiting for her arrival.

Xander glanced at the door, his eyes filled with anticipation. Nevertheless, he deliberately pretended not to care. “Tsk, the report isn’t out yet. How slow! Hey, is your girlfriend okay?” The last sentence was said to Justin, who was sitting on the sofa.

Justin: “…”

He grimaced and suppressed his anger.

He had pretty much confirmed the little guy’s identity, which was why he was tolerating him so much.

Before Nora went to bed, she even reminded him to get along well with Xander and not to provoke him.

Justin was afraid that Xander would complain to Nora. He had really tolerated everything these past few days.

He took a deep breath and told himself that it was his biological son. Only then did he go back to reading the documents on the computer.

Xander grinned and turned to look at Pete. “So your father is a mute.”

Justin: “…”

Veins were popping out on his forehead.

Pete rolled his eyes. “Don’t go overboard. If God can’t stand it anymore, and the DNA report says that you’re not his son, you’ll be in trouble.”

Xander: “?”

Even someone as bold as him was shocked by these words.

He swallowed and turned to look at the door again. He suddenly asked, “How’s your mother’s hand?”

Nora had been injured because of him. Xander was touched, so he found an excuse to ask.

Pete replied, “I don’t know.”

Xander: “Can’t you call and ask? Why are you so unfilial?!”

Pete rolled his eyes. “Who was the reason that my mother got injured? Who’s the unfilial one?!

Of course, he had gone to see his mother.

Two days ago, he had gone to the Smith's. At that time, he had even called out to Xander and asked if he wanted to go with him, but Xander had arrogantly rejected him.

“…”

The two little fellows were about to quarrel when footsteps finally came from the door. Nora entered with the DNA report.

Elsewhere.

In the front hall, Mrs. Hunt was holding Mrs. Livingstone’s hand and looking around.

Mrs. Livingstone said angrily, “Mrs. Hunt, that Nora is really too much. She said she wouldn’t treat Thomas. So, she really didn’t want to see him. We bought a person’s appointment and to cut the queue for her to see him, but when she found out, she canceled it!”

Mrs. Hunt frowned and sneered. “She must have been frustrated lately!”

When Mrs. Livingstone heard this, she instantly became curious. “Why?”

Mrs. Hunt said, “That illegitimate child kidnapped Pete. She even injured her hand trying to save Pete. Sigh, in the end, that illegitimate child was still brought home by Justin… She’s so angry that she hasn’t visited for four days. Logically speaking, she should come over and keep an eye on her son and daughter in their birthday party.”

Only then did Mrs. Livingstone vent her anger. “That’s good! I think Justin was only interested in her for a moment. Over time, with her bad temper, how can he stand it?

There’s even that illegitimate child, Xander, mixed in. He kidnapped Pete this time, who knows what he’ll do in the future! This is just one big problem. It’s the barrier between her and Justin for the rest of their lives, hehe!”
