Nora had never thought that Trueman would actually send a gift.
The butler in front of her also had a grave look on his face.
He said, “It was delivered by a mailman.We have investigated him—he is indeed an ordinary
mailman, he has been delivering the mail here for many years.Also, the parcel was sent from within
New York.”
From within New York…
Had Trueman returned to America? She was alarmed.
To be honest, because Xander had grown up under Trueman’s care, his personality had long since
developed to be like Trueman’s.
Thanks to Trueman’s grooming, his moral compass had also strayed from the right path a little.
Trueman was not a good man.
Besides, one could tell from what Xander had said that he did not treat Xander that well either.
Moreover, didn’t Xander leave her side precisely because Trueman had taken him? One couldn’t
hold gratitude towards a human trafficker just because they didn’t kill their son.
Thus, Nora didn’t want the two of them to ever make contact with each other again.
Besides, the way she saw it, Xander was nothing more than Trueman ‘s pawn.
Judging from Trueman’s attitude towards Ruth, one could tell that the man was rather unfeeling…
She stared at the gift box in her hand and slowly opened it.

When she saw the contents, a look of shock suddenly formed in her eyes, and she instantly
slammed the lid shut! She thought of all the events in the past, as well as what Caleb had told her,
and her heart suddenly started to pound madly.
“What’s wrong?”
Just as she was a little flustered, Justin’s low and deep voice came from the back, putting her at
ease a little.
She looked behind her and narrowed her eyes.
Just as she was about to speak, someone nearby noticed Justin and came over to talk to him.
Nora kept quiet.
Justin said, “Uncle lan is in the lounge upstairs.Why don’t you go over there? I’ll come over in a
minute.”
“Okay.Nora’s fingers around the box tightened, seemingly very afraid that the box would fall and
shatter.She took a deep breath and went upstairs.Before she entered the lounge, a cry of surprise
suddenly rang out from below.
Nora looked down to see a few people holding cages.
Inside the cages were some rabbits, as well as cats and dogs.
Xander was circling around them in joy and surprise.
“No.6! No.3! And Rabbit No.5! Why are you guys here?”
Nora:”?”
It was the butler again who had brought the cages in.
He had only brought them in after consulting Justin.
In the midst of Nora’s hesitation, Justin had dismissed the person who came up to him with just a
few words.
He went over to her.
Nora kept quiet for a while.
Then, she asked, “Are those also gifts from Trueman?”
“Stop that, Butterscotch!”
Only then did the wolfhound stop.
It looked at Xander perplexedly, probably wondering to itself, “Doesn’t master hate that guy a lot?”
As though sensing its hesitation, Xander rolled his eyes.
He looked up at the ceiling and said in a stuck-up manner, “He is my younger brother.Even though I
don’t like him, I’m the only one who can bully him.Understand?”
“Woof! Woof!”
Butterscotch let out a couple of barks.
While there was no way of knowing whether it had understood Xander, it certainly didn’t bark at
Pete anymore.

Princess Lucy said as she pointed at a listless little cat in the cage.
Cherry had also squatted down beside the cage.
She stretched out her chubby little hand to touch the animals in the cage, but when the cat saw her
hand reaching into the cage, it shrank back and stared at her with its green eyes.
Cherry’s heart melted at the sight.
“Xander , this cat is so cute! Can you give it to me?”
“Heh, no way! Emerald is not a pet, I can’t give her away just like that! But after Xander said that, he
added, “Unless you acknowledge me as your older brother.”
“Big Brother Xander!”
Cherry yelled out without hesitation, taking Xander by surprise.
Cherry rushed up to him and said, “Big Brother Xander! Big Brother Xander! You’re the best, yeah!”
Xander:”!!”
Could the girl please have a limit to how low she could go? The corners of his lips spasmed a little.
“I can let Emerald stay in your room, but you mustn’t bully her.”
“Okie-dokie! I promise! No problem!”
Cherry and Lucy looked at each other and the two of them secretly giggled.
Lucy then asked, “Can we sleep with her tonight?”
“Of course!”
