Chapter 608
Meanwhile, Genevieve had bought a flight ticket and had embarked on a ten-plus-hour journey backliome.
When she arrived in Dartan in the alicmoon the next day, the two children were playing at the playground
Amanda wiis over the moon when she saw her mother. The girl ran as fast as her little legs could bring her toward Genevieve. “Mommy!”
When she finally reached her mother, Amanda nuzzled the woman. “Oh, Mommy! I missed you so, so much! Did you miss me?”
“Of course.” Genevieve exclaimed, picking her up and kissing her in the face. “You smell good, Swectic! Like strawberries and butter.”
Amanda giggled when Genevieve kissed her.

Also, he said the doll I made was ugly. Oh, and he even ate my caramel pudding!”
Lucian, who had been following behind all the while, defended himself, “I didn’t play with my phone. As for the doll, I was just speaking the truth. You have a nose yourself, but you didn’t
make one for your ugly doll. Also, I didn’t eat your desert because I wanted to. You were already so full yesterday, so I couldn’t just let you stuff that thing down or you might explode.”
“Whatever!” Amanda shouted at her brother before turning back to look at Genevieve pitifully. “Mommy, look at all the excuses Lucian made up to bully me. Why didn’t you make me his elder sister?”
Lucian scoffed, “You’re not taller than I am, and you’re not as smart. How can you even hope to be the elder sibling?
For a moment, Genevieve was reminded of Armand.
Not only did Lucian take after his looks, but the child also inherited his intelligence and his calm demeanor
He might look as if he had no temper, but just like his father, he liked using facts to argue with people.
Amanda was on the verge of crying. She wrapped her arms around Genevieve’s neck, sobbing, “Mommy… Look at him! He keeps doing this to me. You have to punish him.”
“Lucian,” Genevieve stressed, “didn’t I tell you to take care of your sister? As a punishment, you will have to give your share of dessert to Mandy tonight.”
“Okay,” Lucian replied nonchalantly.
When the girl saw that Genevieve had taken her side, she stuck her tongue out at Lucian and then
kissed Genevieve. “Mommy’s the best.”
It was a cokl month at Dartan, so Genevieve went upstairs to put on a thicker sweater before going shopping with the children so she could get them some clothies for skinur.
“The trio was walking around in the mall whiclack calleel. “I’ll meet you at llcisin tonight for dinner. I’ll be there al about seventhinty.”
“Sure.” After Genevieve talked to him for a bit, she hung up.
Beside lier, Amanda was humming a tunc in glee, dreaming about the trip they were about to take. When they went past an ice cream store, the girl begged Genevieve to buy her two scoops of strawberry tlavor ice cream.
After she got what she wanted, she turned toward Lucian to show off. “Lucian, say you were wrong, and I will give you a bite.”
Lucian looked away, ignoring her.

Amanda was still eating her ice cream in Genevieve’s arms when she said, “Mommy, I know that guy’s name.”
“Which guy?”
“The guy who appeared in the video when you showed me the sky lanterns the other night,” the girl replied, smiling. “He’s a celebrity. No wonder he’s so handsome.”
Unfortunately, Amanda was not interested in the romance movies Bruce filmed since she could not understand a thing.
Genevieve felt uncomfortable when she was reminded of the preposterous actions she did with Bruce the night she got drunk. “Yeah, celebrities are better looking than regular people.”
Amanda cocked her head and thought about it, ranking the people she knew based on their looks, “That guy is handsome, but he’s still not as good-looking as Mr. Valentine or Daddy.”
To her, her father was the most handsome man in the entire world.
