“No.” Genevieve's tone reflected her annoyance.
Amanda noticed that her mother was not in a good mood and decided not to mention Bruce anymore. Then, the trio went for breakfast.
Around eight-thirty, they checked out from the hot spring resort.
The staff from the reception counter spotted Amanda and walked to her. He asked politely, “Hello, little girl, may I know your name, please?”
“My name is Amanda Rachford.”
“A guest named Bruce Gable left something for you.” The staff went back to the counter and fetched a shopping bag for Amanda.
After thanking the staff, Amanda opened the bag right away and saw a ten-centimeters hand-crocheted doll sitting inside.
The doll was wearing a red checkered dress. There was also a beautiful ribbon pinned on the doll's hair that was made using black yarn.
Amanda thought that the doll resembled her. She showed it off to Genevieve and exclaimed, “Mommy, see! This is a mini-me. Mr. Gable is just like a magician. Where did he manage to find a doll that looks like me?”
Amanda loved the doll so much that she kept kissing her. She even emptied her bag, which was previously used to keep junk food, for the doll.
Staring at the gift, Genevieve was rather baffled.
There isn't any art and craft shop in Pillere. Who did he ask to craft such a lovely crocheted doll overnight?
Then, she thought about the pair of handmade slippers and tried to connect the dots together. She shook her head, seemingly trying to dismiss a thought. He's an actor by profession. How is it possible that he knows how to make so many things?
There was another present inside the shopping bag—a mysterious black colored hourglass with Lucian's name engraved on it. There was a warrior figurine placed on top of it too.
Amanda passed it to her brother. “Here you go, Lucian. It's a gift from Mr. Gable. Wow, it has your name on it!”
“It's just an hourglass. What's so special about it?” Lucian said disdainfully.
However, when Amanda was fidgeting with it, he insisted on keeping it to avoid damage.
Thereafter, Genevieve spent four crazy days in Tayhaven with her children. She brought them to Disneyland and Lego factory. Upon sending them back to Dartan, she accompanied them at home for several days.
When it was time for Genevieve to return to Chanaea, Amanda felt it hard to part ways with her. “Mommy, you must think of me every day, okay?”
“Mm.” Genevieve gave her a kiss on the forehead. “Be good.”
