Chapter 780


    Chapter 780 Will You Leave Us Again


    After a while, Lucian went into the kitchen, pulled a stool over and climbed onto it, then rolled up the


    sleeves of his sweater.


    “I''ll help you, Daddy.”


    “Sure,” Armand responded with a grin. He washed a radish and cut one slice as a demonstration. “This


    is how you do it. Cut it into slices first, then into strips. Finally, dice the radish and put it into a bowl.”


    After watching the process, Lucian nodded. “Got it.”


    “Be careful when you''re using the knife. You don''t want to injure your fingers,” Armand cautioned as he


    handed him the knife.


    “Okay.”


    Although Armand busied himself with the other preparations, he could not help checking on his son out


    of the corner of his eye. He saw thetter skillfully handling the knife in no time, swiftly cutting up the


    radish and filling a bowl full of the diced vegetable.


    After that, Lucian also helped with marinating the beef. As his head was lowered, he suddenly said,


    “Daddy.”


    “Yes?”


    “Will you leave us again?” Lucian''s voice was soft but calm.


    While Amanda was just happy to see Armand and did not bother about anything else, Lucian had


    always been bright and intuitive since he was little. I know a lot must''ve happened between the time


    when Daddy passed away in that aviation ident to reappearing suddenly and reconciling with


    Mommy.


    Lucian turned to nce at Armand. “Do Mandy and I still need to return to Dartan?”


    “No. I''ll always stay with the three of you. You don''t have to return to Dartan. I''ll ask Mr. Sullivan to


    choose a school for you and Mandy,” Armand replied gently.


    The corners of Lucian''s lips curved upward when he heard that. “Daddy, you owe me and Mandy a


    childhood.”


    Armand could not hold back hisughter. “Well, how should I make it up to you?”


    I was disheartened because I thought Genevieve had left the country with Jack willingly back then.


    That''s why I didn''t bother to ask around about her, nor did I know that the kids were mine. I owe her a


    lot, and I wasn''t by their side when the kids needed me.


    “We''ll let you know after we''ve thought about it.” Perhaps because Lucian was Armand''s flesh and


    blood, the boy was in much better spirits after talking with thetter.


    The father-son duo continued chatting happily as they prepared lunch.


    After ying with her building blocks for some time, Amanda ran to the refrigerator to get some


    strawberries with cream. She chose the biggest one and held it out to Armand.


    While holding out one to Lucian, she deliberately withdrew her small hand, her obsidian-ck eyes


    glinting as an idea popped into her head. “I''ll feed you this strawberry if you agree to refer to me as


    your older sister. What do you say?”


    Lucian shot her a nce and snorted coldly. “You''re neither smarter nor taller than me, yet you have


    the audacity to ask me to refer to you as my older sister?”


    Amanda pouted and said indignantly, “I''ll grow taller sooner orter!”


    Then, she rushed to the living room with a te of strawberries and threw herself into Genevieve''s


    arms. “Mommy, Lucian is bullying me! He said I''m short and an idiot! He''s just a kid you found in the


    trash, isn''t he?”


    Lucian looked at Armand helplessly. “Daddy, you saw what happened. She really is short. I was only


    speaking the truth, but she goes around saying I bullied her.”


    Smiling, Armand replied, “She''ll grow taller sooner orter.”


    Armand was busy cooking until a little past one o''clock in the afternoon. After preparing a delicious

    spread, he called the others to the dining table and proceeded to serve them all some beef pie.


    Scooping up a spoonful, he held it out to Genevieve.


    Her eyes lit up as soon as she took a bite. She even asked Armand to take more for her. “Your cooking


    has improved. I want to have this tomorrow morning too!”


    “Okay. I made extra, so I''ll heat it up for you tomorrow morning,” Armand replied as he used his thumb


    to brush away some crumbs at the corner of her mouth.


    “Daddy, why are you only feeding Mommy but not us?” Amanda was jealous after watching Armand


    dote on Genevieve. She put down her fork and refused to eat anymore.
