Chapter 1221


    Chapter 1221 Not An Ungrateful Person


    At that moment, the school bell rang to signal the end of the sses. Cooper decided to go to the


    school gate and wait for the children.


    Cooper waited for a few minutes until he spotted Lucian and Amanda among the group of children


    leaving the school. He noticed that Tiffany was holding Amanda''s hand and had her head lowered,


    seemingly saying something to Amanda.


    “Uncle Cooper,” Amanda eximed upon spotting him, running toward him and throwing her arms


    around him. “Why are you here to pick us up today?”


    “I''m not busy with work today,” replied Cooper. He took Amanda''s bag from her shoulder and held it for


    her. Then, he greeted Tiffany, “Ms. Yerton.”


    Tiffany''s breath hitched when she saw the tall, elegant man in front of her.


    Shortly after, she averted her gaze and reached out to touch Amanda''s head. “Mr. Sutton, since you''re


    the one who''s here to pick Amanda up, I need to tell you that the school has arranged for the teachers


    to conduct home visits and discuss the students'' progress at school with their parents.”


    Cooper hummed in acknowledgment and asked, “Is it today?”


    Tiffany answered, “No, the teachers will schedule a date with the parents before they conduct the home


    visit.”


    “If you''re busy with work, we can schedule the home visit to be on Saturday,” Tiffany added.


    “Saturday works for me,” Cooper replied. Work wasn''t an issue for him, but he preferred not to have a


    meeting with a woman at his home at night.


    “Okay.” Tiffany nodded. She then lowered her head to look at Amanda. “Goodbye, Mandy.”

    “Goodbye, Ms. Yerton!” Amanda waved at Tiffany before taking Cooper''s hand and skipping toward the


    Bentley.


    After getting into the car, Amanda climbed onto the driver''s seat to look at Cooper. “Uncle Cooper, are


    you in a bad mood?” she asked.


    “No.” Cooper drove the car away from the school.


    “You are. Your deep frown has given you away, Uncle Cooper,” Amanda said, pointing her little finger at


    the frown on Cooper''s forehead that had never disappeared.


    Cooper patted her head and replied in a soft tone, “I''m driving. Please go back to your seat.”


    Amanda hummed in agreement and obediently returned to her seat.


    Cooper arrived home with the two children before six o''clock. He instructed Amanda to start her


    homework while they waited for dinner and then retreated to his study to focus on his work. He


    emerged only when it was time to eat.


    During dinner, Amanda kept casting nces at Cooper with her big, limpid eyes, which seemed to


    contain a variety ofplex emotions.


    Cooper couldn''t help but chuckle when he noticed her behavior. He put a piece of barbeque rib on her


    te and asked, “Is there something you want to say?”


    “Uncle Cooper...” Amanda appeared to want to say something, but instead, she furrowed her brows


    and let out a deep sigh like an adult before biting on her rib.


    Her behavior confused Cooper.


    After dinner, Amanda dragged Cooper to the living room, making sure there were no housekeepers


    around. She pouted and said, “Uncle Cooper, didn''t I tell you tofort Aunt Sally?”


    A hint of displeasure flickered in Cooper''s heart, and his face darkened a little upon hearing Amanda


    mentioning Sally.


    Amanda sat cross-legged next to Cooper and tilted her head up to look at him. “Did Aunt Sally really go


    back to her own home? Or did you have a fight with her and made her angry?”


    I''m guessing that''s why Uncle Cooper has been looking unhappy recently whenever I talk about


    wanting Aunt Sally to return.


    Cooper refuted, “I didn''t.”


    Amanda used, “You''re not telling the truth, Uncle Cooper!” She continued with conviction, “Uncle


    Cooper, a real man knows when topromise and when to stand up for what is right. You should


    apologize to Aunt Sally.”


    Cooper was already feeling irritated, and with Amanda''s interference, he became even more upset. His


    tone was cold as he said, “She''s the one who abandoned me and showed ingratitude. She should


    apologize to me! Why should I apologize to her?”


    Amanda couldn''t help but argue, “Aunt Sally is a kind person! She would never be ungrateful!”


    “What do you know? You''ve only spent a few months with her,” sneered Cooper. “You''re just a child


    with an immature mind. You only think she''s not a bad person because she treats you well. I just


    wanted someone to take care of you and your brother. I only pretended to marry her. Since she left,


    stop calling her Aunt Sally.”


    Amanda had intended to hand the thing in her hand to him, but upon hearing the man''s words, she


    refrained from extending her hand.
