Book 2 : She Becomes Glamorous After the Engagement

Chapter 5

Chapter 621: Little Devil!

“Mrs. Hunt, something big has happened! Someone who looks identical to Mr. Hunt has come to our door and he claims to be Mr. Hunt’s son!”

Mrs. Hunt was drinking afternoon tea when her personal butler rushed over and told her what had happened at the door.

The old lady was shocked and stood up suddenly. “What?”

She swallowed. “Who gave birth to that child? What’s wrong with Justin? How many children does he have out there?!”

The butler: “…”

Yes, he had become a father once five years ago. Now, he was going to be a father again!

Mrs. Hunt held the butler’s hand. “Let’s go and take a look!”

On the way, she could not help but say to the butler, “You have to keep this matter a secret! Don’t let the Smith's hear about it!”

The butler was stunned. “Didn’t you disagree to this marriage with the Smith's?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? In all of New York, the only person worthy of being pampered is the eldest daughter of the Smith's. Yvonne is gone, and now, only Nora is left. Furthermore, she’s Pete’s mother! What I’m worried about now is that if the Smith's find out about this child, they will call off the engagement!”

Mrs. Hunt frowned. When she thought of her maiden family’s matters… she lowered her voice even more. “Besides, we have a request for her now!”

The butler immediately understood and nodded.

When the two of them arrived at Justin’s villa, they happened to hear a low cry coming from inside!

She rushed in and saw a little boy carrying a black backpack. He was holding a bodyguard’s hand and biting it.

The bodyguard wanted to snatch his finger back, but he was afraid that it would hurt his teeth. If he did not use force, his fingers could not be retracted.

This little brat was using all his strength to bite him!

The steward beside him was Justin’s trusted aide and was loyal to him. When he saw this, he shouted anxiously from the side, “Xander, let go of his hand! His fingers will break off if you keep biting!”

Xander glared at him with a pair of long, narrow eyes identical to Justin’s. He refused to let go and muttered something.

The butler couldn’t hear him clearly, so he said, “We just want to take your saliva. We don’t plan on harming you!”

Xander continued to growl.

The butler said, “I swear, I’m really not trying to hurt you! It’s just that you said you’re Mr. Hunt’s son. Shouldn’t we go and check? What if he’s not your father? You don’t want to call a stranger your father, do you?”

Hearing this, Xander’s eyes darted around before he finally let go.

The bodyguard’s fingers had already been bloodied. There was a row of small teeth marks, and it was shocking.

The butler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and heard Xander say, “You have to tell me before doing such things, okay? You didn’t say anything and stuffed a cotton bud into my mouth. I thought you were making me eat it!”

The butler: “…”

The butler was speechless and simply nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. You’re right!”

Only then did Xander open his mouth. “Hurry up and take it. I also want to know if Justin is my father!”

If not, he would be anxious to go back and see his bunny No. 3 and 4!

The other bodyguard stepped forward in fear and took out a cotton bud. “Xander, don’t bite

me!”

Xander raised his brows.

The bodyguard reached into his mouth and stirred the cotton bud at his throat. Just as he was about to take his hand out, Xander suddenly pretended to bite.

The bodyguard was so frightened that he hurriedly took a step back and staggered.

“Hahahahahaha!” Xander pointed at the bodyguard and raised his head to laugh. He looked arrogant and wanton, but his eyes were filled with mischief. “How fun!”

The butler: “…”

He suddenly missed Pete.

When Pete was young, he was autistic and did not like to talk much. He hid in a corner quietly. He was the opposite of this little demon who played with people everywhere?

He wiped his forehead and carefully placed the cotton bud in the bag. Then, he got someone to send it to Nora.

After sending him off, he turned around and saw that Mrs. Hunt was already standing in front of Xander. She asked in a trembling voice, “You’re Justin’s son? Where’s your mother?”

“What about you?” Xander asked. “Old grandma, are you Justin’s mother? Aren’t you too old and ugly? Don’t tell me Justin looks like you and is very ugly? I don’t think I’m his son!”

Mrs. Hunt: ??

She took a step back and pointed at Xander. “You, you, you…”

Xander took two steps toward the butler and said in disdain, “Butler, she’s already demented. Why is she still living here? Shouldn’t she be sent to a nursing home?”

The butler: “?”

Mrs. Hunt:?

The butler beside Mrs. Hunt said, “Mrs. Hunt isn’t demented!”

Xander blinked. “Is that so? Then she stammers? It’s so fun. Old Grandma, how old are you?”

Everyone: “??!”

Mrs. Hunt was indeed old, but because of the Hunts’ high status, no one had dared to speak to her like this all these years.

Her hands immediately trembled in anger as she pointed at Xander and shouted angrily, “You, you, you!”

“My name is Xander. Can you call me by my

name?”

Xander’s eyes were extremely bright like black grapes and were filled with anticipation. “If you stammer, won’t you be calling me Xan, Xan, Xan… Hahahaha!”

Mrs. Hunt: “!!”

She rolled her eyes in anger and fell back.

“Mrs. Hunt!”

The butler cried out in shock and hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Hunt. “Hurry, call the family doctor over!”

Therefore, when Justin came back, he saw that Mrs. Hunt had been carried out. He could only go to Mrs. Hunt without looking at Xander.

Mrs. Hunt had just fainted from provocation. The family doctor measured her blood pressure, gave her some medicine, and used Zabe Corporation’s Calming Pill to calm her down.

Mrs. Hunt stared at Justin. “Justin! W-Where did you get such a son?!”

Justin: “…”

When the old lady finished speaking, she was frightened.

She covered her mouth. Why did she really start to stammer?

At the Smith's.

After the Hunt's sent Xander’s DNA sample over, Nora drove straight to the hospital.

After all, it was time to check up on Quentin again.

Just as she arrived at the door of the ward, she heard Quentin say to Lily, “You don’t seem very busy lately?”

Lily nodded. “Yes. Boss hasn’t asked me to do a DNA test for a long time, after all. It’s simply awesome! You don’t know it, but I’m a top student. How can I do such menial tasks every day? That’s simply an insult to me!”

Chapter 622: Call Me Daddy a Hundred Times

Quentin nodded. “Yes. Wherever there’s pressure, there’s resistance!”

Nora pushed the door open and entered.

The two of them looked at her in unison. Quentin was shocked and smiled awkwardly. “N-Nora, you didn’t eavesdrop on what we were saying earlier, did you?”

Nora stepped forward. “No.”

One word relieved the two of them. Then, the woman said casually, “Yes, I heard it openly.”

The room was silent for a moment. Then, Nora took out the sample bag from her pocket and handed it to Lily.

Lily: “…”

Lily stared at the bag and winced.

She had just told Quentin that she could not bear any more humiliation!

For her face, she had to resist symbolically!

She looked up at Nora and said, “Boss, you’re too much!”

Nora raised her brows.

Lily said forcefully, “You’re only giving me one bag. What do I compare it to?!”

Quentin: “??!”

Nora raised her eyebrows. “Oh, take my DNA.” Lily nodded and asked, “DNA of the cord blood or your current one?”

After all, Nora’s DNA from the past was different from her current one.

Nora said, “Check them both.”

“Okay!” Lily took the bag and walked out. After taking two steps, she looked at Nora again. “Boss, I was just joking earlier. You know, I love it when others insult me!”

Quentin looked at Lily’s departing back with a complicated expression and twitched the corners of his mouth. He felt that she was really hopeless!

At the Hunt's.

After confirming that Mrs. Hunt was fine, Justin walked to his villa.

When he entered, he saw the mini version of him sitting obediently at the dining table. He was staring at the plate of rabbit meat in front of him and crying. “Rabbits are so cute. How can you eat rabbit?!”

With that, he raised his tear-stained face and looked at the cook accusingly.

Justin stood at the door and did not move. He wanted to see what this child was planning.

The chef was stunned. He stared at Xander and asked, “Xander, don’t cry. Then what do you want to eat? I’ll cook it for you!”

Xander sighed. “I never eat small animals. They’re all living beings just like us humans! We can’t be so cruel!”

The cook nodded.

Looking at the little fella, especially his cute appearance and fair skin, who anyone would want to pinch, he said, “Xander is really kind! Then why don’t I cook something different for you? How about braised carp?”

“No, carps are small animals too. You can’t eat them!”

Xander continued, “Puppies, kittens, rabbits, even little chicks, ducks, cows, little pigs. We can’t eat them!”

The chef comforted him. “Xander, but you need nutrients to grow. You still have to eat meat!”

“I see…” Xander sighed. “Actually, I do eat meat, but there’s nothing I like in this house.”

The chef heaved a sigh of relief. “Then tell me, what do you want to eat? I’ll go out and buy it! There’s no meat our Hunt's can’t buy in New York! If you want to eat seafood, we can get live fish sent by helicopter! Or we can buy wild animals from the mountains!”

Xander stared at him and said softly, “Is that so? Coincidentally, what I like to eat is also seafood and wild game!”

The chef smiled. “What do you want to eat?”

Xander said, “If it’s seafood, I’ll eat sharks or whales. If it’s wild game, I like to eat tigers and leopards.”

The chef was speechless.

Xander stared at him and nodded.

The chef was speechless.

The two of them looked at each other for a while. In the end, the chef lost and twitched his mouth. “Xander, I can’t buy those!”

Xander tilted his head. He looked obedient, but the smile on his lips was like a demon. “But didn’t you say earlier that the Hunt's can buy anything? I don’t want the stars or the moon but can’t I ask for any seafood or game?”

Xander sighed. “Sigh, the Hunt's are supposed to be the top family in New York, but I didn’t expect them to be so lame!”

“Isn’t my cheap father a little too boastful?”

Seeing that the chef was about to cry, Justin lowered his eyes and entered the room. He waved at the chef, and the latter finally heaved a sigh of relief and quickly slipped away.

Xander turned his head when he heard the sound of footsteps.

When he met Justin’s eyes, his gaze paused.

Xander had actually seen Justin’s photo before he returned to the country, but he did not expect him to be even more good-looking than the photo. He was still filled with hostility when he had not seen his biological father.

However, when he finally saw him, he pursed his lips.

Suddenly, he said, “Are you my real father?”

Justin stared at the little fella and did not miss the confusion that flashed across his eyes. He walked to Xander and sat opposite him.

In this way, the two of them were sitting eye to eye.

Only then did Justin say, “If nothing unexpected happens, I should be.”

“Okay.” Xander held his chin with both hands. “Then call me Daddy a hundred times before I acknowledge you.”

Justin: “?”

Xander raised his brows. “The Internet said that if you want to be a father, you have to be a son first! When a child is learning to speak, don’t you have to call him Daddy a hundred times before he says it? So…”

Xander grinned and crooked his finger at Justin. “Call me Daddy a hundred times first and I’ll listen to you.”

The dining room suddenly fell silent.

Justin narrowed his eyes and stared at him. Suddenly, he smiled. “You’re wrong. Normal people need to be taught a hundred times, but my son, Pete, had learned it at once. Could it be that you’re stupider than Pete?”

“How could that be?!”

Xander was provoked. “My IQ is 303! I’m the world’s number one!”

Last time, when he said 301, he was looked down upon. This time, he raised it by two.

Justin nodded. “Yes, then you know everything without the need for me to teach you!”

When Xander heard this, he shut his mouth. A hint of stubbornness suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Justin looked at him as if he was a hedgehog with spikes all over his body. He also had a headache over this child.

At this moment, his phone rang. He lowered his head and saw that it was Nora.

Justin was slightly stunned. He suddenly realized why she was calling. After picking up the call, he said, “The results are out?”

“Yes.”

The woman’s voice was very calm. “Where is he? I want to see him.”

Chapter 623: Nora is Here!

Justin’s heart beat wildly. He did not expect Nora’s answer to be ‘Yes’, but he still said, “Okay, I’ll bring him to see you.”

“No, I’ll come to you.”

After Nora finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Justin did not know whether to laugh or cry. At the same time, he inexplicably began to feel uneasy.

He, who was always calm and collected, actually had a scary thought at this moment. What if this child was not his and Nora’s but really belonged to him and another woman?

Why didn’t Nora say a few more words earlier to let him know?

As he was in thought, he turned around and saw Xander looking at him curiously.

The child’s eyes were pure like a sheet of paper. However, when he looked over, Xander deliberately put on a calm and composed expression.

The little man had his own pride, but the innocence that occasionally leaked out made Justin purse his lips.

Justin admitted that the way Xander had secretly looked at him earlier had pierced his heart. It made him unable to hate or detest this child for a moment.

He sighed silently and walked to Xander. He touched his head and was about to speak when Xander said, “Did you get a call from a Tigress?”

Justin: “?”

Xander rolled his eyes. “Look at how scared you are!”

The hand Justin had used to touch Xander’s head suddenly felt very itchy. He really wanted to give him a good beating on his butt. He said, “I haven’t beaten a child before.”

Xander was stunned. He was about to speak when he said in a deep voice, “I hope you won’t give me a first time for it.”

Xander was frightened!

Justin pointed at the porridge on the table. “Eat.”

Xander looked down at the food on the table and picked up a spoon to eat.

Seeing that he had finally calmed down, Justin heaved a sigh of relief. When Xander was done eating, he said, “There will be a… beautiful aunt coming to see you later. I hope you can be more obedient, understand?”

Regardless of whether Xander was Nora’s son or not, Justin did not want Nora to have a bad impression of Xander.

Xander did not look like Cherry. She looked identical to Pete. Before he knew it, the two of them had already known each other for a while and developed deep feelings for each other. Xander was a complete stranger to Justin, and his personality was also very unpleasant.

To Justin, if Nora and Xander got into a fight, or if Xander angered Nora and the two of them could not live under the same roof.

Justin would definitely choose Nora and Cherry without hesitation.

When Xander heard him say this, he pursed his lips. “I’ve always been very obedient, okay?”

Justin felt that this child might not understand the word obedient well.

He sat beside him and sized him up.

The little fella did not sit properly. He liked to curl his legs and move them continuously. He was like a child with ADHD who could not sit still for a moment.

He wolfed down his food without any hesitation, like someone who had been hungry for a long time.

Pete had grown up with him. Food, clothing, and housing were all arranged in strict plans. Even at a young age, he was very noble.

Although Cherry was a little naughty, she was loved by everyone. Her words were especially pleasant to the ear, and her bearing was comparable to that of a foreign princess.

He had heard from the little girl that her grandmother had hired a nanny for her. She was Princess Lucy’s family teacher at the palace in the UK.

Comparing Xander to those two-they were simply incomparable.

Justin really felt a headache this time.

A person’s personality solidified at a young age. Later on in life, even if one could forcefully correct their habits, their personality could not be changed.

Under Justin’s troubled gaze, Xander finished his meal.

He threw his spoon on the table casually. The dining table and the floor around him were filled with the dishes he had eaten. He patted his tummy and sighed. “Frank isn’t here, unfortunately. Otherwise, the ground would have definitely been licked clean by him.”

Justin: “Who’s Frank?”

Xander: “My dog!”

Justin’s temples throbbed.

At this moment, Xander’s phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and Ruth’s voice came from the other end. “Xander, why are you still picking up the call? Have you left?”

Xander stuck out a finger and dug his ears. He placed it at the front and blew on it before saying slowly, “Yes!”

“That’s good, that’s very good!” Ruth’s voice was very weak. She was clearly extremely hungry. “Then what time is your flight? When can you get here?”

Xander raised his brows. “In the morning.”

“Morning? Then you’ll have to wait for a few hours. Why didn’t you ask your father to buy you the earliest flight?”

Xander: “I meant yesterday morning.”

“…”

After a moment of silence, Ruth’s voice suddenly rose. “Yesterday morning? Then you haven’t boarded the plane yet? Or have you already arrived?”

“I’m here!”

Xander continued slowly.

Ruth: “!!”

She was really anxious this time. “Why didn’t you tell me?!”

“You didn’t ask me!”

Xander was bold and confident.

Ruth shouted, “Didn’t I tell you to contact me when you get here? Besides, I told you before, what do you have to do when you get here?”

Xander: “I have to send you food. I remember it!”

“Then what are you doing now?”

Xander blinked his eyes. “I’m eating!”

“What are you eating?! I’ve been hungry for five days! Hurry up and come down to bring some food to me!!”

“What’s the hurry?” Xander’s voice was still slow and roguish. “You haven’t starved to death yet, right?”

“Alright, alright. I’m coming. Stop screaming. You’re even worse than Frank.”

The corners of Justin’s mouth twitched as he listened by the side.

This brat’s ability to anger people was really good.

He did not go to the basement because he could already feel Ruth’s hysteria!

Then, Justin saw Xander hang up the phone and look at him. Just as he thought Xander was going to ask if he could go to the basement, he asked, “Which room am I staying in?”

Justin: “??”

At this moment, with a screech, the jeep stopped outside his villa. Nora strode in.
