Chapter 645 Someone Is Following Us
Lucian was sensitive enough to realize that both men were at odds.
He pulled the door to the car open to clear the tension in the air. “It''s freezing. Mr. Valentine, let''s get into the car. Uncle Cooper, you should
join us, too.”
Cooper didn''t want Amanda to freeze, so he waited until Lucian crawled into the car before he entered the car with Amanda in his arms.
After cing the luggage in the trunk, Genevieve was about to get into the car when Cooper said, “Genev, you have a cold. Tell Mr. Valentine
to drive the car. He slept over ten hours in the ne and needs to loosen up.”
“My nose is stuffy, that''s all.” Jack was used to being waited upon, so there was no way Genevieve would let him drive the car.
In response, Cooper whipped his head around to stare at Jack. “Mr. Valentine, is this how you dote on my sister? She has a cold. Can''t you

drive the car?''
Instead of starting a fight with Cooper, Jack told Genevieve to sit in the passenger seat.
Cooper prepared a lot of sweets for the kids—fruit-vored sweets, hard candy, and gummy bears.
Lucian wasn''t interested in candy, so he ate two and stopped. Amanda, however, kept all the candy for herself.
With her adorable looks and sweet words, she managed to cheer Cooper up. The stress that had been guing his heart for days faded away.
Feeling jealous, Jack asked, “Mandy, between me and your Uncle Cooper, who is more handsome?”
“Mr. Valentine, you''re handsome enough to steal my heart!” Amanda shot him a lovely smile. “But for now, I think Uncle Cooper is the most
handsome man!”
Jack sighed. “Oh, you''re heartless. I brought you up in vain.”
“When we return to Dartan, you''ll be my favorite!” Amanda promised. “I''m cute and can cheer you up. You didn''t bring me up in vain, right?”
“Yeah.”
Hearing herforting words, Jack stopped getting jealous.
Something urred to Amanda. “Mommy, are we going home now? Will Aunt Janee to visit me?”
She didn''t notice the dejection in Cooper''s eyes and added happily, “I love the doll Aunt Jane gave me!”
Recalling what happened to Jane, Genevieve felt a visceral pang of dismay and fell silent for a long while.
A whileter, she calmed herself down and responded, “Aunt Jane went somewhere far. She won''t be back soon, but she misses you a lot.”
Lucian nced at her as he managed to catch the underlying meaning in her words.
Amanda wasn''t as smart as him, so she assumed Jane had gone overseas for real. “It''s fine. I shall wait for her return!”
I mighte to Jadeborough often, so I''ll definitely get to meet Aunt Jane soon!
It was noon by the time the car entered the city. Amanda nced out of the window excitedly, her interest piqued.
Cooper had reserved a table at Golden Restaurant.
The children had tried Chanaean food in Dartan, but it was different from the food they were going to have today. They were impressed by the
Chanaean food they got to try that day.
Amanda loved one of the dishes—coconut balls. There were eight of them, and she alone gobbled up six.
Halfway through lunch, Jack received a call that he answered outside. He only returned around eight minutester.
Returning to his seat beside Genevieve, he announced, “I''m going to Baykeepter and will be back tomorrow afternoon. I''m afraid I can''t
keep youpanyter.”
“It''s fine. Work is more important,” Genevieve responded. She preferred spending time with the kids alone as she was still repulsed by his
presence.
After lunch, Jack left.
Genevieve told Cooper to get back to work, for he would get plenty of opportunities to see the kids in the future. She wanted to bring them to
the hospital to visit Johanna today.
“Let''s go, Sweeties!” Genevieve held their hands and brought them to the subway.
It was the weekend, so the subway was crowded. Genevieve kept an eye on them and entered the station using her digital wallet instead of
letting Amanda buy tickets from the ticket machine.
Suddenly, Lucian turned at his shoulder. Genevieve asked curiously, “What''s wrong, Luc?”
Lucian told her, “Someone is following us.”
