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?"

"Yeah."
