Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 966

At the sight of Xander, Nora's eyes lit up instantly.

Without waiting for Trueman's orders, she opened the door and jumped out of the car.

Xander was a little taken aback to see her. He stayed where he was and did not walk forward.

As they weren't too far from each other, Nora could hear their conversation clearly.

Trueman said impatiently, "Hurry up."

"I don't want to," Xander replied.

Trueman scoffed, "Are you trying to make me force you into it?"

Xander said stubbornly, "Daddy, you've changed! You've never spoken to me like this before!"

Trueman continued to lecture him. "Things are different now. I used to have all the time in the world to play with and foster a bond with you, but we need to hurry now!"

"... 1 don't dare to meet Mommy," said Xander.

"Because you've let her down?"

Trueman's words made Xander lower his head even further. The boy, whose head was lowered, was rather dejected. "Mommy spent a lot of effort to get the serum for me, but I..."

Xander really did know that he had done something wrong.

He had only just said that when Nora walked over. When she heard him, she looked at Xander and asked, "So, you know very well what you have done is wrong, then why did you still do it?"

Xander didn't dare to look Nora in the eye when he heard this. He kept his head down as he replied, "Because it's Daddy... I can't just stand by and watch him die... Daddy is just like Butterscotch and Buttercup. He's also my best friend..."

Xander had grown up with Trueman, and he was the only person in Xander's world.

Upon hearing this, Nora glanced at Trueman.

After spending all this time with him, Nora knew what Xander was like.

The boy might seem unreliable and behaved like the spawn of satan, but in truth, he was very sensitive and had difficulty fostering bonds with people. This was also the reason he could immediately bring himself to bite the bodyguard's hand when he saw him.

Because outsiders were all villains to him.

Only a handful of people could qualify to be classified as his own.

For example, he had said that Ruth was his aunt, but in truth, Xander had never regarded her as one of his own. This led to him never trying to save Ruth when he came to New York. He even bullied her instead.

It was also this incident that had made Nora and Justin think that Xander saw Trueman the same way.

He had clearly been imprisoned in the basement by Trueman since he was a baby. In that case, there was no way he would have deep feelings for Trueman, but now... Nora discovered that she was utterly mistaken!

Even at a time like this, and even when Xander understood that Trueman had taken advantage of him, he was still calling him "Daddy".

Nora stared hard at him. "Xander, I know you are a sensible child. When you were injected with the V15, your IQ improved even further, so you should be able to understand what I'm saying right now. The love and kindness that Trueman showed you in the past were all fake. He only did it for the V16... There is only one V16 left in the world now. If you give it to him, you will die."

When Xander heard this, he paused before he replied, "I... I know."

Nora was surprised. "You know?"

"Yes. Daddy told me about it when he called me."

Nora became even more stunned. She had always thought that Xander had been tricked, but from the looks of it now, it seemed that despite being well aware that only one person could be saved, Xander had still chosen to steal the serum and give it to Trueman?

After Xander said what he did, he looked at Trueman and added, "Daddy never lies to me."

Xander said seriously, "Daddy has never lied to me or told me that he was my real father, so I have always known that I was a child that he had brought from somewhere else.

"Every time Daddy visited me, he would bring me chocolate because he knew that I like it.

"Daddy never hits me even when I'm disobedient, but lets me think things through by myself instead.

"Even when Daddy sent me back to Mommy, he

explained everything to me clearly..."
