Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 727

Hearing that familiar voice, Xander's pupils shrank greatly.

Yet, a sense of longing suddenly welled up in him, and he said into the phone, "Daddy, I miss you."

Even if there really were problems with the way Trueman taught Xander, Xander had ultimately still been brought up by him during the past five years.

In the Hunt Manor, Xander had to be subjected to so many people's negative attitudes towards him. It was only with Trueman that he was the one and only person who mattered.

As soon as he said that, Trueman scoffed and said, "You miss me? Then why don't you come back? I will arrange for someone to pick you up."

Xander paused.

Upon seeing his reaction, Trueman said, "See? I knew you wouldn't come back once you've met your real parents’ Even though you say that you miss me, your actions say otherwise, because you have already integrated into their family, right?"

Xander lowered his head. "Daddy, I won't forget you."

But he wasn't going to go back there anymore.

From the moment he left the basement, he had never wanted to go back. Besides, he had only thought of going back earlier because of the animals.

However, Trueman had surprisingly sent them all to him.

This freed Xander from his last scruples.

Trueman didn't force him to return, though. He merely asked, "Have you changed your name?"

Xander replied, "No."

"Tsk, considering Justin Hunt's personality, would he tolerate you having Yale as your last name? I am a villain in their eyes after all. It won't make you much of a better person if your last name is also Yale!"

Xander wanted to explain on behalf of Justin, but he said nothing in the end.

By then, Trueman had already changed the subject. He asked, "How's your mother?"

Xander didn't understand his question, so he answered, "She's fine. What about it?"

"... Nothing."

Trueman wanted to say more, but someone suddenly knocked on the door—it was Cherry. She called out, "Xander, come on out! It's time to eat-! The food today smells really delicious! They prepared your favorite chicken drumsticks-"

Upon hearing this, Xander said to the person on the other end of the phone call, "Daddy, I'm going to eat!"

After he said that, he hung up right away, opened the door, and ran out.

In another country.

In a dark room somewhere.

As Trueman listened to the disconnected tone in his cell phone, he muttered, "That brat, how dare he hang up on me? He's so heartless!"

Caleb's amicable voice then rang out. "It's not like you treat him well either. Now that he has found his real parents, he's not going to come back for sure."

Trueman's voice rose instantly. "How did I not treat him well? I was even the one who saved his life!"

Caleb sighed. "Yes, okay, you saved him... but after that, you locked him up in the basement. Of course he's going to be more comfortable there. He needs to lead a normal life too."

"Hah."

Trueman said sulkily, "Your coughing seems to have eased a lot!"

Caleb nodded. "Yeah, it got much better after I took the medicine. At the very least, I won't have to suffer for the next three months. I probably also won't have to suffer before I leave for good."

"You're such bad luck!"

After the family of six had lunch, Cherry, Pete, and Xander played together in the living room. The three little guys didn't have the habit of taking naps but watching them made Nora sleepy.

Nora, who was staying so that she could spend more time with Xander, leaned against the sofa and watched them. At the same time, she mulled over where her mother would most likely put the V16.

At this time, Justin sat next to her and sighed. "Xander is still a little estranged from us. We'll have to spend a lot of time with him to improve that."

Nora nodded. "Yeah."

Justin looked at her eagerly. "So, why don't you just move in and stay here for now?"

Nora:"?"

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Justin.
