Chapter 1182
Amanda pouted and claimed, “I think Aunt Sally is pretty good. Not only is she beautiful, but she also knows how to
fight and even knows how to fly a helicopter. I don't want someone to replace her.”
She then queried Lucian, “What about you?”
“I don't want her to be replaced too.” Although Sally bullied Mommy before, Mommy reconciled with her after that.
So, I don't have to hold a grudge against her, either.
Sally appeared aloof and unapproachable, but when she knew what the kids wanted, she would try her best to
satisfy them.
Therefore, Lucian liked her enough to hope she could be their aunt as well.
“I'm glad to hear that.” Amanda seemed to think of a solution as she took out her phone to call Steven.
Steven had already returned to Baykeep. He had hired a professional gardening team to take care of the
greenhouses Armand had previously built.
Thus, they would send a different bouquet of flowers to Swallow Garden every morning.
After Amanda told Steven about her request, she even reminded the latter not to tell Cooper about it. Steven
laughed and agreed to it before he called the person in charge of the greenhouses. With that, they immediately

Then, Amanda gave Cooper a call, coaxing him to have Ferropenian cuisine for dinner.
Cooper agreed to it.
At seven thirty in the evening, Sally brought Amanda and Lucian to the restaurant. They took their seats and had
not waited for more than ten minutes when Cooper, who had just finished his work at the company, also arrived.
It was only then Cooper realized that they were the only customers in the restaurant.
He thought it was because Sally preferred some peace that she reserved the whole place, so he did not dwell on it.
After taking off his coat and draping it on the chair, he took a seat.
Amanda passed Cooper the menu and said excitedly, “Uncle Cooper, the cinema has released an interesting movie
today. Let's watch it after dinner!”
“Okay.” Cooper rolled up the sleeves of his sweater and continued, “Since you're interested in that movie, let's
watch it.”
As they were the only customers in the restaurant, the dishes were served in a flash. After taking a few spoonfuls of
the food, Amanda suddenly hopped off her chair and wanted to leave.
Lucian tugged at her arm and whispered, “How about you switch tasks with me?”
The script Mandy prepared is too embarrassing. I'd rather dance on the stage than say that out loud.
“Sure.” Amanda added, “But do you know how to play the violin?”
Lucian was rendered speechless by her question.
Amanda raised her hand to pat Lucian's shoulder before encouraging him, “Lucian, you don't want someone to
replace Aunt Sally either, right? Uncle Cooper's happiness depends on us. We can do it!”
As soon as she finished her sentence, she sprinted off like lightning.
Meanwhile, Cooper was worried that Amanda would fall when he saw the latter running away like a rabbit, so he
asked Lucian, “What did Mandy say to you? Where is she going?”
“She said she's going to the restroom.” Lucian shrugged. “She told me not to steal her ice cream.”
Upon hearing that, Cooper was amused.
Not long after that, the bright lights suddenly dimmed, and a waiter came over with a large bouquet of red roses.
It was no ordinary rose, as the petals were a distinctive crimson color. The rose petals were large and wavy at the
edges, like the hem of a dress, making the flower look elegant and endearing.
Before the waiter arrived before them, the fragrance of roses had already filled the air.
Unlike the usual heavier rose scent, the fragrance of this rose was faint. Like a gentle breeze brushing by, it tickled
the senses tantalizingly.
Lucian exaggeratedly exclaimed, “Woah! Uncle Cooper, you prepared roses for Aunt Sally? They're so beautiful!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, Cooper was in a state of bewilderment. When did I ask someone to prepare the roses? Besides, I don't
think Sally likes fancy things such as roses. However, this bouquet of crimson roses appears custom-made for Sally
as they suit her very well.
Understanding dawned upon Cooper when he noticed Lucian wink at him. He couldn't help smiling as he took the
big bouquet and handed it to Sally.
Since Lucian's performance was too exaggerated, Sally immediately realized something was amiss, but she didn't
expose him.
While receiving the bouquet, the faint yet relaxing fragrance of roses made the corner of her lips curl upward
slightly. “This is the first time I've received such a big bouquet of roses in this color.”
Lucian hastily interjected, “Uncle Cooper can give you fresh flowers daily from today onward as long as you like it,
Aunt Sally.”
At that moment, melodious and romantic music rang in their ears.
Cooper turned around to see Amanda standing on the stage not far away from them, playing the violin while a
pianist played the piano accompaniment for her.
“Uncle Cooper, since you've given Aunt Sally the flowers, why don't you invite Aunt Sally to have a dance with you
under such a beautiful atmosphere accompanied by music?” Lucian exchanged glances with Cooper.
