My Flirtacious Husband novel Chapter 1222

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?”

Lucian 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.

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?”
