Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 766

Nora couldn't wait anymore.

Perhaps it wasn't the V16 but clues to it in the safe deposit box, but there were only two months and twenty days left until Xander had to take the V16.

Every passing day was torture for her.

This was especially true when she saw the terrible atmosphere at home upon returning from California earlier in the afternoon. Cherry was not playing games, neither was Pete working on his Mathematical Olympiad. Instead, both of them were circling around Xander.

Cherry had taken out all her favorite Barbie dolls and princess dresses and wanted to give them to him.

Xander hadn't taken them.

As for Pete, he also hinted that he could give him all the Mathematical Olympiad worksheets he had bought.

Xander hadn't taken those either.

The little fellow slumped on the sofa and waved as he said, "I don't like your stuff! I only like animals!"

When Cherry heard this, she immediately suggested, "I have an uncle who also loves animals a lot. He has a lot of stray cats and dogs. Why don't we get Uncle Louis to send us a few?!"

But Xander had waved and said, "No, I don't want them. Those animals are your uncle's friends, not mine."

Cherry corrected him. "Xander, he's also your uncle. He is very generous. Besides, he also needs money to feed that many cats and dogs, but he doesn't have any. He will definitely thank us if we help him raise a few!"

Pete also nodded and said, "Yes, he also has a dog whose coat has a mix of colors."

As soon as he said that, Xander replied, "So what? Even if he does, it's still not Rainbow."

Rainbow was Dog No. 3. As its coat was a mix of different colors, Xander had named it Rainbow. The name was too cliche, and even Rainbow itself disliked it. However, that was what Xander called it, so it had no other choice.

Rainbow was also the healthiest among the dogs there.

However, just this morning, Rainbow lay down on the floor and never woke up again.

Xander, who had become accustomed to death and parting, had dug a hole in the garden together with Cherry and Pete and buried Rainbow there.

There were now several more mounds in the garden, all of which contained Xander's friends.

Every time they went to the garden, their hearts would be exceptionally heavy.

As soon as Xander said that, Cherry and Pete looked at each other, neither of them daring to continue. Cherry changed the subject and said, "Xander, have you decided yet? Are you going to take the same last name as me or Pete?"

Neither Cherry nor Pete would be changing their names.

But surely Xander couldn't keep using Yale as his last name, right?

While Cherry and Pete were thinking about it, Xander waved and said, "Nah, I haven't."

Cherry said, "Why don't you take Smith as your last name like me? Grandpa will like you a lot!"

Pete said, "Boys should take Hunt as their last name, of course. It's better to have the same last name as Daddy."

Cherry then said, "But if Xander's last name is Hunt, then wouldn't he end up competing with you over family assets? Let's have Xander take Smith as his last name and inherit Grandpa's assets instead!"

Pete and Xander both looked at her. "What about you?"

Cherry grinned. "I have Grandaunt!"

Pete:"?"

Xander:"??"

Cherry tilted her head and said, "Grandaunt doesn't have any children, so she has always said that everything she has is mine. Princess Lucy can testify to that!"

Princess Lucy had been staying at the Hunts' ever since she came to celebrate Cherry's birthday the other time. She had stayed with Cherry and played with her for three whole days.

Later, because of all the uncertainty and turmoil regarding Herman and Philip, Justin had sent her back.

She and Cherry had been reluctant to part when she had to go.

At the mention of her grandaunt, Cherry tilted her head and said, "I miss Grandaunt!"
