com THANKS!)

After saying that, he pushed Pete away and ran to the villa.

“Later, even though he didn’t quarrel with me, he didn’t spend much time solving Mathematical Olympiad problems with me anymore.
He has been playing games with Cherry the whole day today!”

Pete hung his head and spoke in disappointment.

He must have also wanted very much for Xander to play with him.

Cherry raised her head, her big dark eyes blinking as she said, “Really? Why didn’t I notice anything?”

Cherry was cute and was a sweet-talker, but she was also very insensitive.
It would be a wonder if she could sense the little boy’s secretive thoughts!

All she could do was just fight others in a battle of wits.
In truth, she really was rather insensitive.

However, it was also through the contrast between her and Pete that Nora had discovered something-children who grew up with their mothers would indeed have a stronger sense of happiness.

Look at Pete.
He might openly say that Xander was sensitive, but wasn’t he also just as sensitive? Otherwise, how would a five-year-old possibly contemplate so many problems?!

When Nora thought of this, as well as of the two servants’ conversation, she felt a burst of anger.
She lowered her head and looked down at Pete at once.
“Can you recognize the two servants who were talking behind your backs?”

“Mommy, I have already looked into it!”

One could always rest assured with Pete’s way of handling things.
Despite his young age, he was already capable of taking every aspect into consideration.
He said, “The two of them are in charge of cleaning the garden in the backyard.
One of them is Greg Lewis, the other one is Lionel Scott.
They have been working for the Hunts for three years.”

Nora: “…”

The corners of her lips spasmed and she couldn’t help but ask, “Since you have already found out everything, then you must also have ways of dealing with them, so why haven’t you taken any action?”

Pete’s authority at home was not to be violated.

Moreover, although the boy was mildly autistic, he was not stupid.
On the contrary, he was very clever.

Pete replied, “Xander must be competing with me right now.
Since everyone says that I am better than him, if I step forward to defend him, he will definitely feel even more uncomfortable.
Besides, isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to protect their children?”

Pete looked at her eagerly, “Also, I think that Xander would prefer you to protect him instead.”

Nora: “…”

The corners of her lips spasmed.
Faced with Pete like that, she suddenly said, “Pete, be honest with me.
Back then, when two of your private tutors bullied you, you hadn’t resisted them.
Is it because you had never thought of putting up any resistance?”

Pete lowered his head when he heard this.

He initially didn’t want to explain, but he suddenly felt like opening up in this instant.
He nodded and answered, “Yes.
At that time, I thought that I had brought harm to my grandmother, so I didn’t feel like fighting back anymore.”

Nora heaved a quiet sigh.

The boy was simply too sensitive.

She took Pete’s hand and walked straight out.
“Come on, let’s go to the garden and look for the two of them!”

As for Cherry, her eyes swiveled a little and she let go of Nora’s leg.
Then, she ran upstairs.

Mommy was about to unleash her prowess.
How could she possibly not get Xander to watch a show as entertaining as that?

How exciting! How thrilling!

Hehehe…

In the garden in the backyard.

Two male servants were chatting as they swept the floor.

“I saw Pete yesterday.
The look in his eyes when he looked at me was just so… Why does it make me feel a little uneasy?”

“What are you thinking? Pete never gets angry, it’s fine.”

The other man whispered, “Say, do you think Pete overheard what we said that day? After all, he was standing right outside when we stepped out…”

“Heh, so what even if he heard us? We are here as cleaners by Roger Hunt’s recommendation.
Can a kid like him even fire us? Besides, even if we are fired, we will still get a large sum of money!”
