Chapter 677



.

Xander stretched his neck nervously and peered behind the glass window.

His small body leaned back against the seat. His eyes were filled with nervousness and fear. These two bodyguards had left too much fear in his young heart.

Trueman probably knew it too, and that was why he had sent those two people.

Because if it were anyone else, Xander would definitely not be so obedient.

He was famous for being unreasonable and domineering. At home, he always bullied others, except for these two bodyguards….

When Xander thought about this, he couldn’t help but sigh quietly. “Pete, your mom is done this time.”

Pete: “?”

He rolled his eyes. “Talk about your own mommy! My mommy is super powerful!”

Xander pursed his lips at this. “My mom died a long time ago. My dad said my mom died after she gave birth to me.”

When Pete heard this, he was stunned.

He hadn’t expected Xander to say such a thing.

He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly reached out and patted Xander’s shoulder to comfort him. “I’m sorry.”

He apologized for his words.

Xander waved his hand nonchalantly. “You didn’t know my mom died, so I don’t blame you. However, your mom is near her end too.”

Pete: “…”

Xander bit his lip and informed Pete of the situation outside. Pete’s legs were still bound, so he couldn’t sit up. Then, he heard Xander say nervously, “Your mother got out of the car…. She’s walking towards the two bodyguards… she looked at me. Even though there’s a black laminate on the glass, she should have seen me, right? Then she should know you’re in the car. Pete, your mother started chatting with the two bodyguards, is she begging for mercy?”

Pete slumped in his seat and struggled to get up. “…I’d rather believe she’s sleeping than begging for mercy right now.”

With his mother’s temper, it wouldn’t be her style if she didn’t beat those people until they were picking their teeth on the floor.

Mommy was the Big Sister of the Quinn School of Martial Arts!

She was able to learn martial arts because of Mr. Quinn’s respect for her.

At this thought, Pete, who was lying on the chair, rested his hands on it and wanted to get up. However, Xander was pressing down on him, preventing him from getting up.

He pushed Xander and said, “Help me untie the rope from my legs. I’ll help Mom.”

Xander looked at him, “Forget it. Can you even help?”

Dizzy Pete: “…”

Even though he was a smart kid and knew to hold his breath when the bodyguard covered his mouth with the drug, he still couldn’t control his breathing. He had inhaled some of the drug, so now his whole body was limp. This was also the reason he hadn’t gotten up even though he was struggling. Xander looked at him and pursed his lips. “Besides, your mom could be discussing the price with them and planning on selling you!”.

Pete: “Mom can die for me, why would she sell me?”.

Xander rolled his eyes. “How could that be, why would one person die for another?”

From a young age he had been cold to others, and felt nothing for anyone else. He felt no kinship of any kind. He had only a little trust in Trueman as his father.

Yet Trueman had never hugged him or called him affectionately. He had never told him things like he loved him and would protect him.

Trueman always stood there and condescendingly told him, “Xander, you have to protect yourself. If you don’t, you’re not fit to be my son. When you encounter danger, only you can protect yourself. You have to be selfish, do you understand?”.

Once, Xander had even asked Trueman, “Dad, if I fell in the water, would you save me?”

Trueman had grimaced. “No, even though I can swim, there is no rationality in a drowning person. How many people have died in the water to save others? Why should I put myself in harm’s way for you?”

This was the upbringing Xander had received from a young age, so he didn’t think Nora would die for Pete.

Pete, however, looked at him in surprise. “Any parent in the world would give up everything for their child. Although there are bad fathers, they are still the minority. Protecting children and making sacrifices for them is human nature.”

“How is that possible?”

Xander still didn’t believe him.

Pete sighed. “Why don’t you believe in the love of parents for their children?”

Love?

What was love?

Xander grimaced. “This is too mystical. I don’t understand anything. Besides, do you think the tyrant loves me? I’ve been back for a long time, but I haven’t felt his fatherly love once!”

Hearing this, Pete was silent for a moment.

Then he consoled him. “That’s because you weren’t in danger. Besides, it’s not that Dad doesn’t love you. It’s just…he needs to make a decision. If he gets too close to you, Mom and I could be unhappy.”

Xander was silent before snorting coldly. “So, love comes with strings attached, does it?”

Pete was speechless.

For Xander, Justin’s love did have a condition. The condition was that Xander didn’t hurt Nora, Pete and Cherry.

And once he did hurt them, Justin would leave him for good.

However, if outsiders came to bully Xander, Justin might as well risk his life for him.

In this world, any family would have preferences. With so many children, most parents could not love them all equally.

However, parents loved their children.

Pete didn’t stand up for Justin. Anyone could tell Xander, but not him.

Just as Pete felt conflicted, he suddenly heard Xander yell in shock, “Ah, your mom got hit!”

Pete was stunned. He twisted his body and wanted to sit up to look back. He asked anxiously, “What happened to my mommy?”.

“They hit her! One of them suddenly attacked and they hit her. What a shame!”

Xander grinned. “Pete, from today on, you’re going to be a motherless boy like me~ Hahahahaha.”

Pete frowned. Although he knew Xander’s words couldn’t be trusted, when he thought about how powerful those two bodyguards were, how they had easily gotten him into the car, he felt a little worried.

Mommy had been busy the last few days, could it be that she wasn’t feeling well and was about to pass out? Was that why that person had succeeded?

No, he wanted to save Mommy!

At this thought, Pete struggled violently again. When Xander saw him, he suddenly said, “Isn’t it good not having Mommy? No one will control you anymore.”
