Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 972

Nora looked intently at Xander in front of her.

Earlier, when Xander first returned to them, in order to better get along with the child, neither Nora nor Justin had said anything negative about Trueman to Xander.

After all, for the past five years, Trueman was the child's only kin.

However, ever since Xander stole the V16 and gave it to Trueman, Nora was filled with regrets. She should have taught her son to differentiate between good and evil.

Seeing that Xander was finally bringing up the topic, she kept quiet for a while before she finally said, "True evil doesn't really exist in this world, Xander, and everyone has a dark side deep down in their hearts. But as humans, we should safeguard our moral boundaries and stick to them. No matter what we do, even if we act a little selfish for our own sakes, we mustn't cross that boundary."

Trueman had taught Xander to be unscrupulous and resort to any means available to achieve his goals.

This was apparent from how Xander had frequently bullied the nannies and security guards when he was living with Nora and Justin. The little guy was a devil through and through. Fortunately, he was still young and kind-hearted by nature, which was the only reason why he wouldn't do anything illegal.

However, a child's personality was already cemented by the time they turned five years old.

Xander's heretical and dark personality had become ingrained in him.

For some, their childhood could heal whatever suffering they experience in their lifetime.

But for others, it took a lifetime to heal the suffering from their childhood experiences.

Those five years spent in darkness had already led Xander astray.

Therefore, Nora taught him things differently from how she taught Cherry and Pete. She wanted Xander to keep to his moral boundaries.

Xander, who seemed to vaguely understand, nodded. However, he persisted and asked again, "So, is Daddy Trueman really a bad person?"

Was he really a bad person?

Nora didn't answer him directly. She only stroked his hair and said, "People should not be defined by the concepts of 'good' and 'bad'. Although he is a pitiable man, it doesn't give him the right to take revenge on society just because of his unfortunate circumstances. Xander, I want you to know this—you are still young, so educating and nurturing you are our responsibilities. Real parents never contrive against their children when nurturing them. So, if he ever asks you to do anything that brings harm to yourself, please reject him."
