When Amanda entered the house, Nina was standing in the living room. Sally had just helped her to the bathroom. Amanda took a shower and put on clean clothes.
Her hair was still slightly wet as she just wiped her hair with a dry towel and did not blow it with a hairdryer. At this moment, she was blinking her big eyes while looking towards the doorway.
Joan walked in.
His clothes were soaking wet too. He looked strong and attractive while exposing his muscles vaguely.
Nina had already been familiar with it as she had seen the upper part of daddy’s body naked before.
She was more concerned about something else at this moment.
“Daddy.” Nina blocked his way, “Why didn’t you play with her a little longer?”
It was not easy for her to create such an opportunity.
Joan was speechless.
After all, should he and she splash water onto each other?
“Hey, her leg is fine and she is about to leave. You don’t have a chance anymore if you don’t seize it properly.” Nina was worried.
She started giving him a lecture, “Think about it, there will only be two of us again for dinner if she is gone. How lonely would it be?”
“You don’t want her to leave just because you’re afraid of having a lonely dinner, aren’t you?” Joan frowned.
Wasn’t it because she liked Amanda?
“There’s more than that of course. She is also pretty. She will tell me stories and cuddle me until I fall asleep. She is like my mum. If both of you get together, I will have a daddy and a mum as well.” Nina rambled on but she seemed to miss the main point.
“Nina, don’t you like her and that’s why you wanted her to stay?” Joan asked.
“I like her of course. Don’t you like her too?” Nina asked in return.
Joan was dumbfounded.
Did he like her?
He did not seem to hate her…quite enjoyed getting along with her.
Was that kind of liking?
“Daddy, this is your last chance. You don’t have any chance left if you miss it.” Nina exclaimed in dismay.
Joan patted her head, “Children should not bother adults’ business.”
Nina pouted, “Just relying on yourself, you will be alone for the rest of your life.”
Joan was speechless.
This kid was really smart but mischievous!
Joan went out after having lunch, leaving Amanda and Nina at home.
Nina was helpless as she felt that Joan was an idiot. Amanda was going to leave soon but he still went out and did not know to win Amanda’s heart.
Amanda was booking a flight ticket online while sitting on a sofa.
She was going to leave tomorrow after accompanying Joan to the dinner tonight.
Nina approached her, “What are you doing?”
Amanda had already booked the flight ticket. She put her phone down and reached out to hug Nina. She was going to leave and would not see this smart cookie anymore.
Nina blinked her eyes and asked, “Do you think my daddy is good?”
Amanda said without hesitation, “He is a kind person.”
Nina continued looking at her but then Amanda did not make any other remarks.
Nina was speechless.
“Don’t you like my daddy?” Nina asked in anticipation. She added as she was afraid Amanda might misunderstand, “The kind of love between a man and a woman.”
Amanda was speechless.
‘What is this kid’s brain full of?’
‘She even knows about the love relationship between a man and a woman?’
“Say something.” Nina kept demanding answers.
Joan was coming in with a box and he heard the question asked by Nina. He stopped at the doorway as he somehow wanted to know how did Amanda feel about him.
He stood still and wanted to hear Amanda’s answer.
Amanda looked at Nina and shook her head, “Your daddy is good but I don’t like him.”
Nina could no longer sit still, “Why?”
Joan was very disappointed at the doorway.
