Chapter 613 You Are Like A Superman
By the time they got off the cable car, Amanda was already talking to Bruce like they were close
friends.
Amanda walked behind Bruce, stepping in the footprints he left. When the man saw what she was
doing, he took smaller steps so that she would not have to jump so far.
“Mr. Gable, you''re so tall! I will grow to be as tall as you are if I step in your footprints!” the girl shouted
in excitement.
“Crazy,” Lucian sneered. “Those are lies people invented to scam people like you. How tall you grow is
entirely dependent on your parents'' genes.”
Amanda growled, “I know that! I''m just having fun with Mr. Gable!”
When Bruce saw that Genevieve was about to help Amanda put on her gear, he took the equipment
from her hands. “Let me. I don''t have anything to do anyway. You should get ready yourself.”
With that said, he took out the pair of snowshoes from the bag and helped Amanda wear them.
Then, he put on her skis, helmet, and gloves for her.
In no time, Amanda was all ready for some fun. Her whole body was bundled up except for her face.
She leaned forward and kissed Bruce. “Thank you, Mr. Gable!”
Bruce''s heart warmed at the lingering feeling on his cheek. Then, he passed her the skiing poles.
“Don''t mention it. Do you want me to show you how to ski?”
“It''s okay. I know how to do it. Even Lucian''s not as good as me at this,” she said proudly.
Lucian had just worn his helmet when he heard this. “For real, Amanda Rachford? We all know I''m
better than you.”
“That''s the past. I''m better now. I dare you to a race!”
When Genevieve saw the children were emotionally charged to outski each other, she reminded them
to be careful. “Put on your ski mask. I don''t want any of you hurting your face. Make sure you guys
don''t go too far. Okay?”
“All right,” Amanda replied, waving her hand without turning back toward Genevieve.

She skied on the snow elegantly like a little fairy as she followed Lucian toward the entry-level ski trail.
“Ms. Rachford, I''ll get going first,” Bruce informed. He fastened his skis and drifted away.
Genevieve watched him slide off with aplicated feeling weighing on her heart.
She had been thinking in the cable car if Bruce came on purpose. To her, it was too coincidental that
the crew halted filming on the same day her family visited that ce.
Wait. I didn''t tell him we wereing to this ski resort. There''s no way he would know we were here.
Genevieve brushed the thought aside and looked toward the trail Lucian and Amanda were at.
Although it was an entry-level track, she still thought the slope was too steep, so she stood to watch
from close by. Since the children were enjoying themselves, she took out her phone to take a video of
them.
Just as they were engrossed in the fun, a teenager who had recently learned the craft fumbled down
the trail as he tried to gain control of his movement. He identally bumped into Amanda when he was
sliding downhill.
Amanda''s poles flew off at the impact, and she spiraled downward out of control.
“Mandy!” Lucian shouted, going after her.
Luckily, Amanda was experienced. She was taught the basic coping strategy for emergencies.
Remaining calm, she bnced her body and tried to maneuver the skis.
At that critical moment, someone hunkered down and shot down with huge momentum. It took him just
seconds before reaching Amanda.
Reaching out an arm, the man tugged Amanda to himself and stopped her skis from moving.
Once he saved her, he took off the mask from the girl lying in his embrace. “Are you okay?” Bruce
asked.
“I''m good.” Amanda shook her head, surprised. “Mr. Gable, you''re really fast. I didn''t even see you
around there just now.”
Bruce was relieved to know that the child was fine. “I was behind you. You didn''t see me because there
were a lot of people.”
“You''re like a superman, Mr. Gable! You were so fast!”
Bruce met her admiring gaze and replied gently, “That''s because you''re still a baby, and I didn''t want
you to get hurt.”
“I''m fine! I''m a strong girl!”
Soon enough, Genevieve and Lucian also arrived where they were.
Lucian pulled down his mask and talked down at Bruce. “Mister, you have been hugging my sister for
three minutes and eighteen seconds. Please let her go.”
What? He''s so petty!
