Chapter 1222 What Is Wrong With Him
Cooper realized that his tone was harsh when he noticed Amanda staring at him with wide eyes.
He felt remorseful and softened his voice. “I'm sorry for speaking in a harsh tone just now. I just think you shouldn't
trust strangers so easily.”
Amanda couldn't help retorting in her heart when she heard that. If Aunt Sally is a stranger, why would you ask her
to take care of us?
Cooper gently rubbed the top of Amanda's head and coaxed, “Don't be sad that she's gone. I will find a loving aunt
for you and your brother soon.”
As he still had work to do, he left, heading upstairs.
After watching Cooper's figure disappear up the stairs, Amanda unclenched her hand and revealed a dainty
platinum ring nestled in her palm.
Lucian, seated on the other couch, noticed the ring in her hand and inquired, “Isn't that Aunt Sally's ring?”
“Yes. I found it under the couch this afternoon.” While searching for her eraser under the couch, Amanda
unexpectedly came across Sally's ring.
Amanda inferred that the argument between Sally and Cooper must have been severe, as Sally had even discarded
her ring.
She glanced at the ring and then at Lucian. “Lucian, can you get through to Aunt Sally's phone?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucian shook his head. “I can't get through. Aunt Sally's phone has an anti-tracking device installed, so I can't locate
her.”
Amanda sighed. “Do you think that Aunt Sally would never come back again?”
“Maybe.” Lucian pondered over what Cooper had just said and added, “Didn't Uncle Cooper mention earlier that he
only married Aunt Sally to find someone to take care of us?”
With her chin resting on her hands, Amanda let out a deep sigh. Her face was crinkled.
“I like Aunt Sally.”
Meanwhile, she had a nagging feeling that she had forgotten something important when she was admitted to the
hospital due to a headache previously, but she couldn't remember what it was.
On Saturday morning, Cooper wrapped up his work twenty minutes before ten as he expected Tiffany's scheduled
home visit. He even left a bit early to be there when she arrived.
As Cooper approached the mansion's entrance, he spotted a blue taxi parked on the roadside in the distance. Soon,
Tiffany emerged from the backseat, wearing a light blue long-sleeved dress, looking gentle and smart.
Upon meeting Tiffany again that day, Cooper observed her gentle demeanor and thought that she was suitable to
be a teacher.
Amanda was a lively child, while Lucian had a penchant for adventure. At the same time, Sally was a versatile
person. Despite her cold demeanor, she was adept at making the children happy when they went out to play with
her.
On the other hand, Tiffany's gentle nature gave off the feeling that she would be attentive when caring for the
children. She would likely be worried about the children getting hurt or falling and help them avoid unsafe games.
Cooper grew annoyed and rubbed his temples when he realized he was thinking about Sally again and even making
comparisons to Tiffany. He couldn't help wondering what was wrong with him as he kept thinking about her not only
when he couldn't sleep but also at present.
He figured that maybe Sally was too ruthless when she left, and thus she became a thorn that kept pricking his
heart.
Noticing that Tiffany had taken her phone out of her bag and might have been planning to call him, Cooper briskly
approached her and called out to her with his deep voice, “Ms. Yerton.”
When Tiffany raised her head and spotted Cooper, she walked toward him with her phone in her hand.
“I apologize for not being able to pick you up this morning. I was busy, and I don't have a driver,” Cooper said as he
brought her into the mansion.
“It's fine,” Tiffany replied quickly. “As a teacher, it's my responsibility to visit homes, so coming on my own is
expected of me.”
Cooper was a well-known man in the business world. Hence, Tiffany knew Cooper was a wealthy man but never
imagined that he resided in the most expensive mansion district in Jadeborough, where only the rich and powerful
could afford to live.
Cooper led Tiffany inside the house and called out toward the living room, “Mandy, your teacher has arrived.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn an instant, Amanda behaved like an obedient child and approached Tiffany with Lucian to welcome her. Then,
she led Tiffany to the living room and offered her a seat.
Tiffany carefully observed the décor inside the house.
Although it was located in the prestigious Swallow Garden mansion area, the interior décor of the house was not
ostentatious but rather simple and elegant. Several rough illustrations were hanging on the white walls.
Tiffany glanced at the art on the wall and inquired, “Did you paint those, Mandy?”
“Yes.” Amanda nodded before proudly declaring, “Daddy thinks my drawings are nice, so he personally hung them
on the wall.”
“There are really nice. You have the potential to be a painter, Mandy,” Tiffany praised after hearing the child's
words.
Upon hearing her teacher's praise, Amanda smiled even wider. After all, she was still a kid. Cooper then brought a
cup of cold coffee and placed it before her. “Mandy, why don't you go upstairs and play with your brother?”
Amanda hummed in agreement and headed upstairs with Lucian.
Sitting on the couch next to Tiffany, Cooper adjusted his glasses and asked in a friendly tone, “How are the kids
doing in school? Are they slacking off in class?”
“Not at all,” replied Tiffany. “Mandy and Lucian are attentive in class, and their homework is always neatly done.”
Although it was meaningless to compare primary school grades, the siblings were already excelling in every subject
in less than a year of school. Teaching students like them made Tiffany feel proud.
After the conversation about the children's academic performance, Tiffany asked Cooper a question that might
have been inappropriate, “Have their parents not returned yet?”
