    Chapter 1212 In His Dreams


    Johanna let Amanda sit beside her, then reached out to caress the little girl''s face. “Your cheeks are so


    round. It seems like you''re eating well these days, Mandy.”


    “Aunt Jojo, are you hinting that I put on weight?” Amandained.


    “Of course not! You''re still growing, so you should eat more,” Johanna said and nted a kiss on


    Amanda''s forehead.


    Hmm, I don''t think I''ve heard other people''s voices from the moment I got downstairs, only Timothy''s


    and Amanda''s.


    With that thought in mind, Johanna could not help but ask Amanda, “Is your mommy here?”


    Timothy felt his throat tighten. Just as he was about to say something, Amanda answered without


    hesitation, “Mommy is sick. Daddy is apanying her while she recuperates abroad. She''ll be back


    when she''s recovered!”


    Johanna did not know about that matter.


    Not long ago, she had Timothy give Genevieve a call, as she wanted to pay a visit to thetter and


    Amanda. However, he persuaded her to invite Genevieve over in the future instead, iming that it


    would not be easy for her to move about.


    Why didn''t Timothy tell me Genevieve is sick and currently recuperating abroad?


    “Don''t worry, Aunt Jojo. Mommy and Daddy will be back after a while.” As Amanda reassured Johanna,

    she ced her gaze on thetter''s stomach.


    “Aunt Jojo, are you really pregnant? Don''t pregnantdies have big tummies? Your tummy is so t,


    though,” she remarked afterward.


    A soft smile appeared on Johanna''s face. “It''s because I''ve just gotten pregnant not long ago. The baby


    will grow in my womb as time passes. As the baby grows up, my tummy will be bigger too.”


    “Oh,” Amanda responded. A beatter, she added curiously, “Then, when this baby girl is born, will she


    be Lucian''s wife as well?”


    Right then, Lucian happened to enter the living room with Sally.


    When he heard Amanda''s innocent question, a rare hint of awkwardness clouded his calm


    countenance.


    Johanna, on the other hand, burst intoughter. After she stopped giggling, she said, “That won''t do!


    Lucian already has Asel as his wife. He can''t have two wives!”


    “Oh, that makes sense.” Amanda nodded in agreement.


    Afterward, Timothy pointed at the pile of gifts in the corner of the living room and suggested to


    Amanda, “Mandy, it''s tiring for Asel to open all those gifts alone. Why don''t you help her?”


    “Okay!” Unwrapping presents was Amanda''s favorite activity. Feeling excited, she held Asel''s hand and


    brought thetter to the pile of gifts.


    Lucian also found a spot to y by himself.


    Sally greeted Timothy and Johanna before handing him some flowers and gifts. “Cooper has to take


    care of some matters at the office, so he can only be here at half past six,” she said.


    Furrowing her brows, Johanna asked, “Have I heard your voice before somewhere?”


    “This is General Loake''s daughter. You''ve met her before,” Timothy exined while cing the


    bouquet of roses from Sally in a vase on the coffee table. “She got married to Cooper not long ago,” he


    then added.


    “Ah... But I thought you have feelings for Armand?” Johanna asked, seemingly yet to catch on to the


    situation.


    Why did she get married to Genevieve''s brother all of a sudden?


    Leaning over, Timothy whispered in her ear, “She thought the heart that Armand uses belongs to


    Ethan. Hence, she tried to keep Armand by her side. You know, she''s just yearning for the past.”


    “Yeah, I know.” An amused look appeared on Johanna''s face as she replied, “Didn''t your first love die


    for you? You''ve spent many years thinking about her as well.”


    In a trice, Timothy felt ufortable. He served her a ss of smoothie prepared by the housekeeper


    before cooing, “Darling, that''s all in the past. Let''s not talk about it anymore.”


    Johanna responded, “Aren''t you the one who started it?”


    “Yes, I did. It''s my fault.” He apologized immediately and asked her to entertain Sally while he went to


    the kitchen to prepare some fruits.


    “Ms. Loake, why did you get married to Cooper?” Johanna brought up the topic from before again.


    Cooper had made it clear that he did not want to involve Timothy and Johanna in that mess again.


    Since the Gaudette family had nothing against them, Sally decided not to tell Johanna the truth about


    her marriage to Cooper.


    “He likes me, so he dragged me to get married to him,” she answered.
