Chapter 1015
“Mandy.” Armand headed toward Amanda and Asel.
“Daddy!” Snapping her head over, Amanda quickly scrambled off the ground upon seeing that her father had returned and threw herself at him. She hugged him around the neck and kissed him.
Armand likewise kissed her on the cheek, the look in his eyes tender. “Did you miss me?”
“I missed you to the moon and back! I miss Mommy, too.” Amanda rubbed her cheek against her father's. Nonetheless, she knew that her mother was in poor health and couldn't meet them for the time being.
Glimpsing the bean sprout hairpin on the man's head, she exclaimed in surprise, “There's a bean sprout on your head, Daddy!”
“It was your mommy's doing.” Armand chortled in exasperation.
Asel also stood up staggeringly and tottered toward Armand.
Scooping her up, Armand went to the couch and sat down. He pecked her on her face, which was as smooth as silk. “Did you miss me, Asel?”
Asel seemingly understood him, for she bobbed her head.
“Where's Aunt Jojo, Daddy? Has she also fallen sick like Mommy?” Amanda asked curiously.
Hearing her mention the word “mommy,” Asel clutched at Armand's clothes with her tiny hands. With her ebony eyes shimmering, she babbled pitifully, “M-Mommy...”
She was born in February and was only seven months old then, yet she had already been separated from Johanna for such a long time.
Sorrow crept into Armand. Caressing her face, he coaxed gently, “Your mommy is gone on a business trip. There's a lot to be done, so she has to stay there for a long time. Be good, Asel. Wait for a while more, and your mommy will be back. Lucian and Mandy will keep you company.”
“Be good, Asel. I'll keep you company and put you in bed every day,” Amanda promised.
She then brandished the bean sprout hairpin at Asel.
The sight of the flitting bean sprout snagged Asel's attention in no time. She waved her hands and legs even as she giggled away.
Armand swept his gaze around the living room, but he saw no signs of Lucian. “Where's your brother, Mandy?”
