Chapter 611 – The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free

Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free

The strange thing, though, was that Pete, who usually followed her everywhere, had actually taken the initiative to say that he wanted to stay at the Hunts, saying that if he went with her to the Smiths, he might affect Nora’s rest.

Nora could only agree to his request. After thinking about it, she asked Pete to the side and said earnestly, “Pete, don’t bully the boy, okay?”

Pete fell silent for a moment when he heard her. Then, he tilted his head and asked, “But what if he bullies Mommy?”

Nora smiled and ruffled his hair. Her voice was very low but reassuring as she said, “I know Pete is a filial boy, but no one is capable of bullying Mommy. Okay?”

Pete looked up at her.

Nora was very tall. He was only as tall as her waist at the moment. In his eyes, his Mommy was gentle and strong.

Pete had never needed anyone or anything to give him cover, but in front of his mother, he abandoned all his sneaky thoughts and conspiracies, wanting only to be the most well-behaved child in front of her.

He relaxed and nodded. “Okay, Mommy!”

After she left, Pete and Cherry came together again.

Cherry asked, “Pete, are we still going to drive Xander away?”

Pete kept quiet for a long while before he finally replied, “Let’s put all our plans on halt for now. We’ll take action only if Xander bullies Mommy, or if Mommy suffers injustice because of him! We absolutely won’t tolerate his existence in the family!”

“Okie-Dokie!”

Cherry clapped. But then, she suddenly realized something-why was she so happy that they weren’t driving Xander away anymore?

It must be that she found Xander really pitiful because he didn’t have a mom!

She would never ever admit that she did like Xander a teeny-weeny little bit! After the two children spoke to each other, they went up the stairs hand in hand to play in the room upstairs.

Neither of them saw Xander walking out from the side.

He stared angrily in the direction where the twins had left.

He was even holding his favorite book about human anatomy, as well as a doll detailing a human’s body structure.

Initially, for Cherry’s sake, he had wanted to make friends with Pete. Even though Pete said that it was very boring playing building blocks with him, he had gone back upstairs to fetch his favorite toy.

But he hadn’t expected to hear such conversation.

They wanted to drive him away?

They were too much!

They were all Daddy’s children, and this was also Daddy’s home. Why should he be driven away just because he didn’t share the same birthday as them?

The little boy clenched his fists. Suddenly, he turned and went back upstairs.

After entering his bedroom, the angry Xander threw the doll in his hand onto the floor. At once, the doll broke into pieces.

A hostile look flashed across Xander’s eyes.

At this moment, his cell phone rang.

Xander picked up the call. Trueman’s somewhat evil and slightly shrill voice came from the other side. “My dearest Xander, how have you been?”

“… Fine. By the way, Dad, when is my birthday?”

When Trueman heard this, he paused. Suddenly, he chuckled and replied, “September 8. Why?”

September 8! His birthday was the same as Cherry and Pete’s!

Xander was stunned. He chose not to tell Trueman the truth but instead replied, “It’s nothing.”

Then, he suddenly asked, “Daddy, do you think I really won’t be able to get along with my new father?”

Trueman sneered, “Of course. Do you think Justin Hunt treats you well?”

Xander thought for a moment and answered, “Not too well, but not that bad either, I suppose!”

“Then what about Nora Smith?”

Xander tilted his head and answered, “She treats me okay too. She didn’t drive me away, nor did she quarrel with Justin to get him to send me away. Instead, she’s very calm, as if she doesn’t care about my existence.”

“Really?”

Trueman sounded a little unhappy. “That woman sure is big-hearted. Or should I say that she doesn’t love Justin Hunt at all? Otherwise, why wouldn’t she care that her man has another child?”

Xander touched his nose and suddenly asked, “Is there a chance that she thinks I’m cute, so she can’t bear to do anything to me?”

“Heh,” Trueman suddenly laughed. “Do you think a woman would find her husband’s illegitimate child cute?”

Xander felt very uncomfortable being called an illegitimate child.

But he didn’t get angry.

Because Trueman was right.

He didn’t have a mother but was instead Justin’s child from some unknown woman. Didn’t that make him an illegitimate child?

Trueman went on. “Don’t be fooled by their superficial actions. Adults’ affairs are much more complicated than you think. They don’t care about you at the moment only because you haven’t grown up; you’re not a threat to Peter Hunt’s position yet. If you become outstanding enough to become the next heir to the Hunts, do you think they would still treat you well?”

For a while, Xander didn’t speak.

Trueman scoffed, “Have you forgotten about Prince Charlie? He is also an illegitimate child. His stepmother deliberately raised him into a good-for-nothing… That’s why you must find a way to drive Pete out of the Hunts! This is the only way you can become Justin Hunt’s only son, understand?”

Xander narrowed his eyes. “Yes, Daddy.”

Although he felt that Trueman was wrong, he did not refute him.

Since he was a baby, he had known that there would only be severe punishment waiting for him if he rebutted his father’s words.

He heaved a small sigh.

Then, he stood up and walked out. He was going to tell them that his birthday was also on September 8, so they could hold the birthday party together.

Xander had long forgotten Trueman’s instructions.

The excited boy went to look for Pete and Cherry, but when he walked up to the door of the room where Pete and Cherry were, he was instead stopped by a few children.

These children were all from his uncles and aunts’ families. They were about ten years old, so they roughly knew what they were doing. From a young age, their parents had told them to curry favors with Pete and had also forbidden them from bullying him.

When they heard that Pete was back, they specially came over to play with him.

However, they didn’t expect Pete to refuse visitations again. This made them feel rather bored.

Just when they were about to leave, they happened to run into Xander.

A kid said very loudly, “Is that Uncle Justin’s illegitimate son?”

Someone replied, “He does look a little like Uncle Justin, but what a pity that he is a little bastard without a mother! There’s no way he can inherit the Hunts!”

“Yes, yes! I even heard that he grew up with monsters in the wild. Can you speak human language?”

“C’mon, make a sound and let us hear it…”

The few of them surrounded Xander. They pushed him and bullied him. “Xander, right? Who is your mother?”

“He doesn’t have a mother, and he doesn’t even know when his birthday is! So, did he pop out of a rock?”

“Are you here to play with Pete? What makes you think you can play with him? Are you worthy of playing with him? He is the rightful son of the master of the household, what about you? You’re an illegitimate child! You can’t even compare to Pete’s little finger!”

“Why are you keeping quiet? Are you stupid? Pete is the smartest of us all, you know! I bet your IQ is not even a fraction of his. Also, do you know a birthday party will be held in a few days? Uncle Justin is holding it so that he can announce to everyone that Cherry is his daughter! It has nothing to do with an illegitimate child like you!”

The children were just repeating what they had secretly heard from the adults.

A boy named Xander had arrived, and everyone was talking about him. When someone asked if Pete’s status would be threatened, everyone had immediately refuted him.

Not only had Pete exhibited a high IQ since he was a baby, but his mother was even the young lady of the Smiths. With a status like hers, how would she not be able to protect Pete?

Therefore, everyone looked down on Xander.

The children’s words made Xander clench his fists.
