Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 656

Xander was stunned. He chose not to tell Trueman the truth but instead replied, "It's nothing."

Then, he suddenly asked, "Daddy, do you think I really won't be able to get along with my new father?"

Trueman sneered, "Of course. Do you think Justin Hunt treats you well?"

Xander thought for a moment and answered, "Not too well, but not that bad either, I suppose!"

"Then what about Nora Smith?"

Xander tilted his head and answered, "She treats me okay too. She didn't drive me away, nor did she quarrel with Justin to get him to send me away. Instead, she's very calm, as if she doesn't care about my existence."

"Really?"

Trueman sounded a little unhappy. "That woman sure is big-hearted. Or should I say that she doesn't love Justin Hunt at all? Otherwise, why wouldn't she care that her man has another child?"

Xander touched his nose and suddenly asked, "Is there a chance that she thinks I'm cute, so she can't bear to do anything to me?"

"Heh," Trueman suddenly laughed. "Do you think a woman would find her husband's illegitimate child cute?"

Xander felt very uncomfortable being called an illegitimate child.

But he didn't get angry.

Because Trueman was right.

He didn't have a mother but was instead Justin's child from some unknown woman. Didn't that make him an illegitimate child?

Trueman went on. "Don't be fooled by their superficial actions. Adults' affairs are much more complicated than you think. They don't care about you at the moment only because you haven't grown up; you're not a threat to Peter Hunt's position yet. If you become outstanding enough to become the next heir to the Hunts, do you think they would still treat you well?"

For a while, Xander didn't speak.

Trueman scoffed, "Have you forgotten about Prince Charlie? He is also an illegitimate child. His stepmother deliberately raised him into a good-for-nothing... That's why you must find a way to drive Pete out of the Hunts! This is the only way you can become Justin Hunt's only son, understand?"

Xander narrowed his eyes. "Yes, Daddy."

Although he felt that Trueman was wrong, he did not refute him.

Since he was a baby, he had known that there would only be severe punishment waiting for him if he rebutted his father's words.

He heaved a small sigh.

Then, he stood up and walked out. He was going to tell them that his birthday was also on September 8, so they could hold the birthday party together.

Xander had long forgotten Trueman's instructions.

The excited boy went to look for Pete and Cherry, but when he walked up to the door of the room where Pete and Cherry were, he was instead stopped by a few children.

These children were all from his uncles and aunts' families. They were about ten years old, so they roughly knew what they were doing. From a young age, their parents had told them to curry favors with Pete and had also forbidden them from bullying him.

When they heard that Pete was back, they specially came over to play with him.

However, they didn't expect Pete to refuse visitations again. This made them feel rather bored.

Just when they were about to leave, they happened to run into Xander.

A kid said very loudly, "Is that Uncle Justin's illegitimate son?"

Someone replied, "He does look a little like Uncle Justin, but what a pity that he is a little bastard without a mother! There's no way he can inherit the Hunts!"

"Yes, yes! I even heard that he grew up with monsters in the wild. Can you speak human language?"

"C'mon, make a sound and let us hear it..."

The few of them surrounded Xander. They pushed him and bullied him. "Xander, right? Who is your mother?"
