Chapter 797
During lunch, Johanna asked Genevieve, “Didn't you go overseas together with Armand? Where is he?”
“Daddy is busy making money to buy me a castle!” Amanda declared cheerily, causing Johanna to be lost in thoughts.
Woah! Your dad can afford to buy you a small country, let alone a castle. Moreover, Uncle Cooper is so filthy rich that he can buy you a castle made of diamonds if that's what you want.
Nonetheless, when she noticed the grim look in Genevieve's eyes, she didn't press on and changed the topic instead.
In the midst of their lunch, the housekeeper came into the dining room through the main door, her hands filled with shopping bags. “Ms. Joule, these are toys and clothes bought by Mr. Jensen for Ms. Asel—”
“Throw them out!” Johanna interrupted with a frosty expression.
With an acknowledging grunt, the housekeeper did as she was told.
Genevieve couldn't help but ask, “Didn't Charlotte explain herself to you? She uttered those words while intoxicated, while it was her father who arranged for the press to release the news. Thus, she has nothing to do with Timothy at all. Do you still not trust him?”
When Charlotte, upon receiving Genevieve's call, realized she was the source of the conflict between Johanna and Timothy, she hurried to clear the air with Johanna.
Preempting Johanna, Cooper replied with a wry smile, “It isn't about that. There's something else.”
“What is it?” Genevieve asked curiously.
“Yeah, yeah.” With her widened eyes, Amanda looked at Cooper. “Uncle Cooper, why is Aunt Jojo mad at Uncle Tim? Hurry up and tell me!”
Lucian gave her head a knock. “Kids shouldn't stick their nose into the affairs of adults.”
Amanda, with a pout on her lips, gave him the side-eye and explained, “I just want our godmother and godfather to reconcile. Otherwise, Asel would be sad if she can't see her daddy. I'm sorry. Uncle Tim isn't Lucian's godfather; he should be Lucian's father-in-law instead.”
When Amanda covered her mouth to hide her laughter, Lucian responded with a snort.
