    Chapter 1050 Useless


    After that night, Armand moved into Regality Gardens. Aside from their daily meals, all the other


    household chores, including washing Genevieve''s clothes, were done by him.


    Melissa felt her presence was redundant there, so she returned to Swallow Garden to take care of the


    two kids.


    She went to Swallow Garden in the morning, changed her clothes, and prepared breakfast for the two


    children.


    At around eight o''clock, Amanda, dressed in a ck school uniform, skipped down the stairs with


    Lucian trailing behind her.


    He was also wearing his school uniform, but in contrast to Amanda, his facial features were arranged


    into aposed expression, giving him a cool and handsome appearance.


    “Melissa!” Amanda jogged forward to hug Melissa when she saw thetter. “Why are you back? How''s


    my mommy?”


    Melissa replied, “Mr. Faulkner is taking care of Mrs. Faulkner. I don''t have to wash the clothes there


    and have nothing to do, so I can only return here to look after you two.”


    Armand paid Melissa handsomely, so she felt guilty for idling about.


    Amanda was jealous. “Daddy is so lucky to be able to keep Mommypany daily. I''ve not seen


    Mommy in so long.”


    While Melissa went into the kitchen to bring out the breakfast, Amanda pulled the chair beside Lucian


    out and climbed up to take a seat.


    He peeled the shell of a hard-boiled egg and ced it in her bowl. Then, he looked at her and let out an


    adultlike sigh. “Are you missing Mommy?”


    “No, that''s not it.” Shaking her head, she leaned toward him and said, “Our situation is rtively fine. At


    least Daddy is keeping Mommypany. However, Asel is so pitiful. Aunt Jojo hasn''t returned in so


    long.”


    When Timothy came to Swallow Garden to have dinnerst night, Amanda had noticed he seemed


    exhausted, as if he hadn''t gotten adequate rest in a long while.


    Venturing a guess, she asked curiously, “Lucian, do you really think Aunt Jojo went overseas to work?


    But what is keeping her abroad for so long? Did she quarrel with Uncle Tim?”


    Uncle Tim and Aunt Jojo did have arguments in the past, but Aunt Jojo merely locked the doors and


    forbade Uncle Tim from entering the house. Oddly, she decided to leave the country this time.


    Lucian received the bowl of oatmeal handed to him by Melissa and began having his breakfast. “The


    adults will deal with their personal matters.”


    “But I''m missing Aunt Jojo too.” Amanda bit off half of the hard-boiled egg in one bite and mumbled,


    “What if Aunt Jojo is truly having a row with Uncle Tim and is reluctant toe back? What if she''s


    already looking for a stepdad for Asel?”


    The more she thought about it, the more she believed it to be the case. “Take a look at how many years


    Mr. Valentine tried to win our mommy''s affection. He even nearly became our stepdad.”


    Although I like Mr. Valentine, I can only have one daddy. Besides, I''m not that biased, either. Daddy is


    the most important to me, and Mr. Valentine is just second to him.N?velDrama.Org content.


    After she swallowed her food, she continued in a glum tone, “In the past, whenever Mr. Valentine was


    not by my side, he would call me from time to time, but it has been so long since hest contacted me.


    I reckon he already has his own baby after marrying Ms. Helt.”


    Amanda felt anguished because she was suddenly disregarded by someone who had previously


    cherished her.


    Lucian did not wish to see her dejected demeanor, so he patted her head and said, “They have their


    baby, but you have a brother. Do I not take good care of you?”


    She rolled her eyes at him. “You took my puddingst night.”


    “That''s because you ate three puddings already.” Lucian retorted righteously, “I was afraid you would


    be too full, so I kindly helped you eat that remaining pudding.”


    “You''re just shameless, Lucian!”


    Amanda felt a little better after bantering with her brother.


    After they finished their breakfast, the kids carried their bags and left the house. Steven was supposed


    to send them to school that day.


    When they stepped out of the house, Lucian perceptively sensed someone staring at himself and


    Amanda, but when he casually nced in that direction, he failed to notice anything unusual.


    “Lucian,” Amanda called her brother when she noticed him rooted to his spot after she got into the car.


    Lucian looked away and got into the vehicle.


    Once the car left the mansion, Amanda moved closer to Lucian and whispered, “Lucian, aren''t you very


    skilled at using aputer? Why don''t you try locating Aunt Jojo''s whereabouts?”


    He was rendered speechless. “I don''t know everything just because I''m proficient at using aputer.


    How would I know about Aunt Jojo''s whereabouts?”


    “You''re useless, Lucian,” she grumbled in an undertone.
