Patting Amanda's soft cheek, Bruce responded gently, “Mandy, you shouldn't trust me just because I'm your uncle's friend. I might be a bad guy. You need to put your guard up before your mommy and uncle's friends, understand?”
Amanda nodded obediently. She shot Bruce a stumped look. “Are you a bad guy, Mr. Gable? Can I still talk to you?”
Bruce chuckled. “Of course, you can.”
Beaming, Amanda climbed onto a seat and told Bruce to sit next to her. She pulled out a piece of palmier from her bag and gave it to him.
“The owner of a dessert shop baked these for me. They are delicious!”
Before going to bed last night, Amanda ate one in secret. She also stuffed a few in her bag this morning.
Amanda stared at the palmier in Bruce's hand reluctantly and consoled herself, “It's so delicious that I don't want to share it with you. But you gave me a cute doll previously, and you're handsome. I can give you one, for there are still plenty back home.”
Bruce took the pastry he baked, unsure of what he should feel right now. He didn't forget to thank Amanda, though.
The sight of her sweet smile made his worries and exhaustion fade away.
Amanda swung her legs and asked curiously, “Mr. Gable, aren't you a celebrity? Celebrities are ferried around in their minivans. Why are you taking the subway?”
“My minivan broke down,” Bruce answered cheerfully. “I'm in a hurry to meet a friend, so I took the subway.”
Amanda responded, “Oh, I see. Mr. Gable, ask where I am going!”
“Where are you and your brother going?”
“To find my daddy!” Amanda blinked her eyes and added smugly, “My daddy is handsome and rich! Of course, you're also handsome, Mr. Gable.”
Bruce felt his heart expand when he heard his daughter praising him. His lips curved involuntarily as he responded, “Mm.”
Lucian folded his arms and stared at Bruce as though the latter was a criminal.
He felt strange to see Bruce gazing at Amanda adoringly. They had only met twice. Why is he gazing at Mandy as though she was his daughter? Something seems off.
