The boy who was standing in front of the counter raised his head, looked at the source of the sound and saw the girl who was at the other side of the glass cabinet. Amanda then stood up. The boy took a good look at Amanda and seemed to remember where he had seen her before in an instant.
When his mother brought him to find his father, they made a stop at the service area and he saw her in the supermarket of the service area.
“Do you still remember me?” Amanda asked with a smile on her face. She didn’t know why she remembered his face so well.
She had a fair complexion and wore a red dress that had a white doll collar. Her hair was tied in a simple ponytail. When she smiled, her clear eyes were beautiful and looked like crescent moons.
The boy didn’t say anything, but he remembered her appearance.
“Amy.” Loredana walked up to her.
The boy looked at Loredana and noticed the woman who was behind Loredana. Lowering her head, she was choosing bayberries with Coral. There was a flicker of emotion in his eyes, but it disappeared right away.
He walked away with his father.
Amanda stood on the same spot and blinked her eyes. She stared at the boy who was leaving the area and thought that he was odd. ‘Does he even have basic manners?’
‘I greeted him. Why didn’t he respond to me?’
“You are going to eat sweet food again.” Loredana looked at the donuts on the tray that was carried by her daughter and frowned, “Eating excessive sweet food can harm your teeth.” Amanda pouted, “I like to eat this. Since we don’t come to the supermarket every day, I will buy more donuts and put them in the refrigerator. I will eat them slowly.”
Loredana looked at her daughter helplessly. She became more and more eloquent. She had a way with words.
“Mummy, buy it for me.” Amanda tugged at Loredana’s sleeve and charmed Loredana, “Can you please buy it for me?”
Loredana couldn’t do anything with her daughter, “You can only eat one donut every day. You cannot eat more than that.”
“Two donuts,” Amanda bargained with her.
“Then, I will not buy them.”
Loredana pretended to turn around and leave. Amanda held her back and acknowledged her words unwillingly, “Okay. I will eat just one donut. I will go and have the pastry chef wrap them up.” After she had finished speaking, she trotted across the pastry section. She feared that Loredana would change her mind.
Loredana smiled helplessly.
Andrew walked up to her and held her hand, “Mummy, don’t you think that Amanda has changed?”
Loredana lowered her head, looked at her son and nodded approvingly, “She has changed. But why are you so emotional?”
Andrew replied, “I am not emotional. I just want to tell you that your daughter was very clingy because she just had a father and was deprived of love. Now, she knows that she has a father who will not run away from her. She has received a lot of love, so she is not so clingy anymore.”
Loredana didn’t know what to say about her twins. In the past, her daughter had been cute. Amanda acted like her son at that moment.
However, what her son had said seemed to make sense.
She clearly noticed the change in her daughter. She was lively, cheerful and talkative.
But it would be better for girls to be quieter. She was still very young so she might be quieter when she grew up.
“Is there anything you want?” Loredana asked her son. Although he was very mature, her son was still a child. She was afraid that he would feel that he had received unfair treatment if she bought things for his sibling and didn’t buy things for him.
“The things that I want are not on this floor,” Andrew said.
“Then, how about going to the third floor?” Loredana asked knowingly. She knew that her son wanted to buy toys instead of food. Toys were sold on the third floor.
Andrew knew that Loredana was teasing him and gave a laugh, “Mummy is naughty.”
After they had finished their shopping on that floor, they went to the third floor.
Andrew bought a chess set. Ever since he had lost the game in White City, he was unwilling to play chess for a long time although he was enlightened by Jayden. He figured it out at that moment.
He should not be afraid of difficulties. He should not back away from the obstacles. If he could overcome his obstacles, he would experience real growth.
“When Daddy is free, the two of us should play chess,” Andrew said excitedly.
Loredana stroked the hair on her son’s head. She asked him whether he wanted anything else, and he shook his head. They then went downstairs to pay for their purchases.
The supermarket was exceptionally crowded that day. There was a long queue at the checkout counter.
Coral said, “All of you should go and find a place to drink some beverages. I will pay for the purchases here.”
Amanda was also unwilling to wait there without doing anything. She pulled Loredana’s hand and said, “Mummy, we should go there.”
She pointed at the dessert shop in the supermarket.
Loredana knew her daughter’s intentions. She was also quite hungry, so she brought the two children to the shop.
While pushing the shopping cart, Coral asked the new servant to follow them. She was worried about the pregnant woman and the two children.
A variety of beverages was sold at the dessert shop, including juice, milk and coffee. Amanda ordered her favorite dessert and thoughtfully ordered juice for the chauffeur and the new servant.
They had gone out in the morning, and it was almost noon. Loredana ordered some desserts and asked them to sit down and eat some desserts. The chauffeur was used to her amiability and sat down without saying anything. The new servant was quite nervous and declined, “I am not hungry.”
Loredana said with a smile on her face, “All of us live together. Since you are helping me to take care of the children, you are not an outsider. Don’t act like an outsider. Just sit down.”
The new servant thought that it would be inappropriate to decline Loredana’s request again, so she sat down. Although she had only been here for a few days, she could see that the family was very kind. Although they were very wealthy, the lady of the house was very kind. As for the little girl, she remembered where she had seen the little girl before as soon as she met the little girl.
‘Maybe it is because she met me briefly. She doesn’t remember me. Moreover, my current appearance is different from my appearance before.’
“At that time, my skin color was darker. It is normal that the little child doesn’t remember me.’
She looked at Amanda and thought that Amanda was cute in every way.
In her mind, she wondered how Amanda had grown to be so beautiful.
Soon, all the desserts that Loredana ordered were brought to their table.
“Auntie Lucy, you should try this.” Amanda scooped a spoonful of cream pudding and placed the spoon on the plate that was in front of the new servant.
The new servant was around thirty years old. Although she was older than Loredana, she was totally not of the same generation as Coral, so Loredana told the children to address her as “Auntie”.
Loredana addressed her as “Big Sister”. Since she had been taking care of Loredana’s closest family members, Loredana treated her most sincerely.
The shop was very quiet. They sat on the sofa comfortably as the sofa was very soft. It was perfect to take a rest there after a tiring shopping trip.
The two children ate their desserts slowly. The chauffeur and Lucy ate their desserts quickly, so they went outside and helped Coral to put their purchases in the car. They then told Coral to go in, take a rest and drink a beverage.
After they had finished eating, they left the supermarket and returned home.
As they had eaten some desserts, they were not hungry although it was almost noon. Loredana asked Coral to prepare lunch later and went upstairs to get some rest. She wanted to lie down after walking for a long time.
