Chapter 190


    n


    It was clear to see that Amanda’s boyfriend adored her immensely. His eyes were almost always fixed


    on her, as if worried she might disappear if he didn’t pay attention. The two seemed toplement


    each other well.


    Amanda’s boyfriend’s original name was Jackson. Later, he thought it sounded bad, so he went to


    change his name. Now he was called Jason.


    “It’s… quite interesting.”


    Jason was a straightforward, generous person. To those he considered his own, he was exceedingly


    amodating and wouldn’t hold grudges.


    However, if outsiders tried to bully him, his robust physique was not just for show. He wouldn’t hesitate


    to stand up for himself and could be quite formidable.

    The dynamic between Amanda and Jason was quite amusing. Amanda never restricted Jason’s


    behavior, nor did she find him embarrassing. She would even y along with him, and then secretly


    chuckle at his antics.


    Sasha started to think that Amanda, like her brother Timothy, was quite the sly character. In their


    hands, Jason and Andie seemed almost naively sweet.


    If it weren’t for the unmistakable love in Amanda’s eyes, Sasha might have doubted Amanda’s


    intentions in choosing such a boyfriend.


    In any case, Amanda was certainly an intriguing person. Perhaps because she was simr to Timothy,


    Sasha didn’t feel repelled by her. In fact, she felt a special kinship with Amanda, and soon they all


    gelled well together.


    Amanda brought Sasha a gift, a collection of high-quality gemstone, as thanks for a gift Sasha had sent


    her earlier.


    Sasha was pleasantly surprised and felt somewhat bashful, as she hadn’t prepared a gift


    in return.


    Jason waved it off nonchntly. “Don’t be embarrassed. If you like these, I can take your to our mine to


    dig up more. We’ve got plenty.”


    Sasha was speechless.


    Okay, this guy was genuinely wealthy.


    Amanda red at Jason, and he immediately restrained himself. “That’s not what I meant. Your sister


    actually put in a lot of effort to prepare this gift for you.”

    Sasha chuckled.


    “Just because you have a lot of something doesn’t mean it isn’t precious. Brother-inw, rest assured, I


    fully appreciate my sister’s intentions and won’t misunderstand.”


    This endearment seemed to strike a chord with Jason, and he immediately epted Sasha as one of


    their own.


    “I knew Andie had good taste. Sasha, you’re a sensible person.”


    Sasha’s lips curled into a smile, amused by Jason’s straightforwardness. Amanda alsoughed at his


    silly manner, then turned to Sasha. “Don’t mind him. He speaks without thinking, but his heart is in the


    right ce.”


    Sasha certainly didn’t mind and she found Jason’s openness made him easy to get along


    with.


    Sasha would have struggled with people like those from the Leigh family.


    As they chatted and dined, everyone gradually rxed. Lester and Timothy loosened up, joining Jason


    for drinks.


    The men started bonding, while the women chatted on the side.


    “Inviting you out today was partly to thank you for the gift you gave me, and also to get to know you


    better. If there’s anything you need help with, just let me know. I’ll be there for you.”


    Amanda said sincerely. Her words were not merely out of politeness or an attempt to curry favor due to


    Sasha’s family status, but genuinely heartfelt.


    Sasha understood and nodded earnestly.


    “Don’t worry, Amanda. We might even be family in the future. I won’t stand on ceremony with


    you.”


    At these words, a flicker of surprise crossed Amanda’s eyes.


    She nced at Timothy and suddenly realized something.


    She knew it. It was just a small gathering. How could it disturb someone like Timothy.
