Chapter 1222 What Is Wrong With Him
Cooper realized that his tone was harsh when he noticed Amanda staring at him with wide eyes.
He felt remorseful and softened his voice. “I''m sorry for speaking in a harsh tone just now. I just think
you shouldn''t trust strangers so easily.”
Amanda couldn''t help retorting in her heart when she heard that. If Aunt Sally is a stranger, why would
you ask her to take care of us?
Cooper gently rubbed the top of Amanda''s head and coaxed, “Don''t be sad that she''s gone. I will find a
loving aunt for you and your brother soon.”
As he still had work to do, he left, heading upstairs.
After watching Cooper''s figure disappear up the stairs, Amanda unclenched her hand and revealed a
dainty tinum ring nestled in her palm.
Lucian, seated on the other couch, noticed the ring in her hand and inquired, “Isn''t that Aunt Sally''s
ring?”
“Yes. I found it under the couch this afternoon.” While searching for her eraser under the couch,
Amanda unexpectedly came across Sally''s ring.
Amanda inferred that the argument between Sally and Cooper must have been severe, as Sally had
even discarded her ring.
She nced at the ring and then at Lucian. “Lucian, can you get through to Aunt Sally''s phone?”
Lucian shook his head. “I can''t get through. Aunt Sally''s phone has an anti-tracking device installed, so
I can''t locate her.”
Amanda sighed. “Do you think that Aunt Sally would nevere back again?”
“Maybe.” Lucian pondered over what Cooper had just said and added, “Didn''t Uncle Cooper mention
earlier that he only married Aunt Sally to find someone to take care of us?”
With her chin resting on her hands, Amanda let out a deep sigh. Her face was crinkled.
“I like Aunt Sally.”
Meanwhile, she had a nagging feeling that she had forgotten something important when she was
admitted to the hospital due to a headache previously, but she couldn''t remember what it was.
On Saturday morning, Cooper wrapped up his work twenty minutes before ten as he expected Tiffany''s
scheduled home visit. He even left a bit early to be there when she arrived.
As Cooper approached the mansion''s entrance, he spotted a blue taxi parked on the roadside in the
distance. Soon, Tiffany emerged from the backseat, wearing a light blue long-sleeved dress, looking
gentle and smart.
Upon meeting Tiffany again that day, Cooper observed her gentle demeanor and thought that she was
suitable to be a teacher.
Amanda was a lively child, while Lucian had a penchant for adventure. At the same time, Sally was a
versatile person. Despite her cold demeanor, she was adept at making the children happy when they
went out to y with her.
On the other hand, Tiffany''s gentle nature gave off the feeling that she would be attentive when caring
for the children. She would likely be worried about the children getting hurt or falling and help them
avoid unsafe games.
Cooper grew annoyed and rubbed his temples when he realized he was thinking about Sally again and
even makingparisons to Tiffany. He couldn''t help wondering what was wrong with him as he kept
thinking about her not only when he couldn''t sleep but also at present.
He figured that maybe Sally was too ruthless when she left, and thus she became a thorn that kept
pricking his heart.
Noticing that Tiffany had taken her phone out of her bag and might have been nning to call him,
Cooper briskly approached her and called out to her with his deep voice, “Ms. Yerton.”
When Tiffany raised her head and spotted Cooper, she walked toward him with her phone in her hand.
“I apologize for not being able to pick you up this morning. I was busy, and I don''t have a driver,”
Cooper said as he brought her into the mansion.
“It''s fine,” Tiffany replied quickly. “As a teacher, it''s my responsibility to visit homes, soing on my
own is expected of me.”
Cooper was a well-known man in the business world. Hence, Tiffany knew Cooper was a wealthy man
but never imagined that he resided in the most expensive mansion district in Jadeborough, where only
the rich and powerful could afford to live.
Cooper led Tiffany inside the house and called out toward the living room, “Mandy, your teacher has
arrived.”
In an instant, Amanda behaved like an obedient child and approached Tiffany with Lucian to wee

her. Then, she led Tiffany to the living room and offered her a seat.
Tiffany carefully observed the décor inside the house.
Although it was located in the prestigious Swallow Garden mansion area, the interior décor of the
house was not ostentatious but rather simple and elegant. Several rough illustrations were hanging on
the white walls.
Tiffany nced at the art on the wall and inquired, “Did you paint those, Mandy?”
“Yes.” Amanda nodded before proudly dering, “Daddy thinks my drawings are nice, so he personally
hung them on the wall.”
“There are really nice. You have the potential to be a painter, Mandy,” Tiffany praised after hearing the
child''s words.
Upon hearing her teacher''s praise, Amanda smiled even wider. After all, she was still a kid. Cooper
then brought a cup of cold coffee and ced it before her. “Mandy, why don''t you go upstairs and y
with your brother?”
Amanda hummed in agreement and headed upstairs with Lucian.
Sitting on the couch next to Tiffany, Cooper adjusted his sses and asked in a friendly tone, “How are
the kids doing in school? Are they cking off in ss?”
“Not at all,” replied Tiffany. “Mandy and Lucian are attentive in ss, and their homework is always
neatly done.”
Although it was meaningless topare primary school grades, the siblings were already excelling in
every subject in less than a year of school. Teaching students like them made Tiffany feel proud.
After the conversation about the children''s academic performance, Tiffany asked Cooper a question
that might have been inappropriate, “Have their parents not returned yet?”
