Chapter 1221 Not An Ungrateful Person
At that moment, the school bell rang to signal the end of the classes. 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 exclaimed 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtvisits 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 glances at Cooper with her big, limpid eyes, which seemed to contain a variety
of complex emotions.
Cooper couldn't help but chuckle when he noticed her behavior. He put a piece of barbeque rib on her plate 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 to comfort Aunt Sally?”
A hint of displeasure flickered in Cooper's heart, and his face darkened a little upon hearing Amanda mentioning
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSally.
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 accused, “You're not telling the truth, Uncle Cooper!” She continued with conviction, “Uncle Cooper, a real
man knows when to compromise 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.
