The butler noticed Justin.
When he was about to speak, Justin stopped him.He went up to the door and looked inside
quietly.He narrowed his eyes, a look of scrutiny forming within.
To be honest, fathers didn’t have any resistance towards their children.
This was especially in the case of people who’d had children before.
Thus, even if Xander was a little devil who had been raised by Trueman, and even if he had thrown
the whole Hunt manor into a tizzy after his arrival, Justin nevertheless still gradually went from
finding the boy a stranger to feeling a bit softhearted towards him.
But when he saw him sitting opposite Ruth, he still couldn’t help but frown.
The child did not understand the difference between good and evil, let alone what was right and
what wasn’t.
In addition, what he did after he returned to the Hunts had indeed angered him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYet when he thought of how he might be the third child he had with Nora, he would relent again.
In fact, he was actually worried about something.
Should the child really be beyond hope, and should he be determined to take Trueman and Ruth’s
side, then even if he must imprison him for a lifetime, he still mustn’t allow him to hurt his loved
ones’ While he was contemplating, he saw Xander hand Ruth a carrot.
He was telling her about the benefits of eating carrots.
“Carrots contain a lot of nutrition.They also contain carotene and anthocyanins.Eating three a day
can lower one’s cholesterol levels by 10 to 20%.It can also effectively prevent cardiovascular and
cerebrovascular diseases, which is very important to the human body…”
He prattled on and on about the benefits of eating carrots, but Ruth became angry instead.
She said, “I told you, I want bread! I want rice! I want carbohydrates! Xander, I have already gone
hungry for six days! If you continue like this, I will die!”
“No, you won’t.
Even if he did faintly feel a bit of fondness for him, he suppressed it at the bottom of his heart and
kept it hidden.
He’d thought that Trueman must have treated Xander very well, which led to the development of his
anarchical character, but never had he ever imagined that Xander had actually gone through all
that? Giving a child nothing but carrots for seven days—just how exactly did Ruth have the heart to
do something like that?! He suddenly clenched his fists and stared fixedly into the interrogation
room.
Xander was standing there, staring at Ruth.
After a while, he said, “Yeah, if my father hadn’t returned in time, I might really have starved to
death!”
Ruth yelled furiously, “What nonsense are you talking about? You have everything in your room!
There is fire, there are pots, and there are also rabbits! All you had to do was just eat those rabbits!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWho told you to be so pretentious and say ridiculous things like the rabbits are your friends? You
even gave the carrots to the rabbits! What a joke.Those rabbits are delicacies to humans! I really
don’t know who you’re putting on that pretentious act for! My brother may pamper you and let you
play with the rabbits, but I won’t! You love your rabbits so much, don’t you? Then let’s see whether
you can hold back from eating them when you’re starved for weeks!”
Xander lowered his head.
“They are not food or animals.They are my friends.”
Ruth sneered and said in a low voice, “So what even if they are? Didnt they get eaten anyway after
they died?! Hahaha! When my brother came back, he took you out and gave you a pot of meat,
right? That was a pot of rabbit meat! And also your favorite No.6’s meat!”
Xander trembled a little.
The thin little boy seemed to emanate a sense of loneliness and confusion.
He stared at Ruth.
“Yeah, Dad scolded you after that.I thought you would change, but unexpectedly, you instead killed
No.6 the very next moment and even tricked me into eating it…” Ruth smirked.
