Upon hearing this, Nora stopped and looked behind her at Justin, who was following after her. She said very solemnly, "Don't follow me. I have to go alone. None of you are to follow me!"
She couldn't risk putting Xander's life in danger at a time like this!
Besides, she was Black Cat... There was probably nobody in this world who was better at escaping than her. Even if she was caught by Trueman, she would not be in mortal danger.
Justin looked into the woman's eyes.
Her docile and obedient almond-shaped eyes which should have looked charming and timid were filled with determination in this instant.
Justin knew that the woman he loved was no fragile flower who could only depend on men.
He nodded.
Nora looked at him intently. After a while, she finally said, "Don't worry, I will bring Xander back safely."
After saying that, Nora strode off resolutely.
Justin stayed where he was.
His lips parted slightly as he murmured, "Okay, I'll wait for the two of you to return."
Seeing Nora leave, Cherry and Pete finally realized that something was wrong, especially since Pete was so sharp and keen. He looked straight at Justin and asked, "Daddy, what's wrong? Is Xander in danger? Where is Mommy
going?"
Justin squatted down and held the children with one arm each. His voice was steady as he said, "Everything's fine. Mommy is going to pick up Xander and bring him home."
Cherry and Pete, who had been in a panic, finally calmed down after hearing this.
Queenie looked at Justin. "You... Are you really not going after her?"
Justin nodded. "I believe in Nora. Besides, there are other things that I need to take care of."
