Chapter 596: Chapter 596



The boy in front of the counter raised his head, glanced at the source of the sound and saw the girl standing on the other side of the display case. Amanda then stood up. The boy took a good look at Amanda and seemed to remember where he had seen her before in an instant.

When his mother took him to pick up his father, they made a stop at the service area and he saw her at the supermarket in the service area.

“Do you still remember me?” asked Amanda with a smile on her face. He didn’t know why he remembered her face so well.

She had a fair complexion and was wearing a red dress that had a white wrist collar. She wore her hair pulled back in a simple ponytail. When she smiled, her light eyes were beautiful and looked like crescent moons.

The boy said nothing, but remembered what she looked like.

“Amy.” Dolores walked over to her.

The boy glanced at Dolores and noticed the woman behind Dolores. Lowering her head, she was picking berries with Coral. There was a flicker of excitement in her eyes, but it disappeared immediately.

She walked away with her father.

Amanda stood in the same spot and blinked. She stared at the boy walking away and thought it was strange.

“You’re going to eat candy again.” Dolores looked at the donuts on the tray her daughter was carrying and frowned. “Overeating sweet food can damage your teeth.”

Amanda pouted, “I like eating these. Since we don’t come to the grocery store every day, I’ll buy more and put them in the fridge. I’ll eat them slowly.”

Dolores gave her daughter a helpless look. She was becoming more and more eloquent. She had a way with words.

“Mom, buy it for me.” Amanda tugged on Dolores’ sleeve, “Can you buy it for me, please?”

Dolores could do nothing with her daughter, “You can only eat one donut every day. You can’t eat more than that.”

“Two,” Amanda bargained with her.

“Then I won’t buy them.”

Dolores pretended to turn and walk away. Amanda held her back and reluctantly acknowledged her words, “Okay, I’ll eat just one donut. I’ll go get the pastry chef to wrap them.”

When she finished speaking, she trotted through the pastry section. He was afraid Dolores would change her mind.

Dolores smiled helplessly.

Andrew walked over to her and took her hand, “Mom, don’t you think Amanda has changed?”

Dolores lowered her head, looked at her son and nodded approvingly, “She has changed. But why are you so excited?”.

Andrew replied, “I’m not excited. I just want to tell you that your daughter was clingy because she had just had a father and was deprived of love. Now she knows she has a father who won’t run away from her. She has received a lot of love, so she’s not so clingy anymore.”

Dolores didn’t know what to say about her twins. In the past, her daughter had been cute. Amanda was acting like her son at the time.

However, what her son had said seemed to make sense.

She clearly noticed the change in her daughter. She was lively, cheerful and talkative.

But it would be better if the girls were quieter. She was still very young, so she could be quieter when she grew up.

“Is there anything you want?” asked Dolores to her son. Even though he was very mature, her son was still a child. She was afraid he would feel he had gotten a raw deal if she bought things for his brother and didn’t do it for him.

“The things I want aren’t on this floor,” Andrew said.

“Then how about we go to the third floor?” asked Dolores knowingly. She knew her son wanted to buy toys instead of food. Toys were sold on the third floor.

Andrew knew Dolores was pulling his leg and let out a laugh, “Mom’s naughty.”

When they finished shopping on that floor, they went to the third floor.

Andrew bought a chess set. Ever since he had lost the game in White City, he hadn’t wanted to play chess for a long time, even though Jayden had enlightened him. He realized at that moment.

He must not be afraid of difficulties. He must not back down in the face of obstacles. If he could overcome the obstacles, he would experience real growth.

“When Dad is free, the two of us should play chess,” Andrew said enthusiastically.

Dolores stroked her son’s hair. She asked him if he wanted anything else and he shook his head. Then they went downstairs to pay for their groceries.

The supermarket was exceptionally crowded that day. There was a long line at the checkout.

Coral said, “You should all go find a place to get some drinks. I’ll pay for the groceries here.”

Amanda wasn’t willing to wait there idly either. She tugged Dolores’ hand and said, “Mom, we should go over there.”

She pointed to the supermarket dessert store.

Dolores knew her daughter’s intentions. She was pretty hungry too, so she led the two of them to the store.

As she pushed the shopping cart, Coral asked the new servant to follow them. She was worried about the pregnant woman and the two children.

The dessert store sold a variety of drinks, including juice, milk and coffee. Amanda ordered her favorite dessert and thoughtfully ordered juice for the driver and the new servant.

They had left in the morning and it was almost noon. Dolores ordered some desserts and asked them to sit down to eat some desserts. The driver was used to her kindness and sat down without saying anything. The new maid was quite nervous and declined, “I’m not hungry.”

Dolores said with a smile on her face, “We all live together. You, who help me take care of the children, are not a stranger. Don’t act like a stranger. Sit down.”

The new maid thought it would be inappropriate to refuse Dolores’ request again, so she sat down. Although she had only been here a few days, she could see that the family was very friendly.

Although they were very wealthy, the lady of the house was very kind. As for the girl, she remembered where she had seen her before as soon as she met her.

Maybe it’s because she met me briefly. She doesn’t remember me.

Besides, my present appearance is different from before.

‘At that time, the color of my skin was darker. It’s normal that the girl doesn’t remember me.’

He looked at Amanda and thought she was beautiful in every way.

In his mind, he wondered how Amanda had become so beautiful.

Soon all the desserts Dolores had ordered were brought to their table.

“Aunt Lucy, you should try this.” Amanda took a spoonful of cream pudding and placed the spoon on the plate in front of the new maid.

The new maid was in her mid-thirties. Although she was older than Dolores, she was not at all of the same generation as Coral, so Dolores told the children to address her as ‘auntie’.

Dolores addressed her as ‘Big Sister’. Because she had been taking care of Dolores’ closest relatives, Dolores treated her with the utmost sincerity.

The tent was very quiet. They sat comfortably on the couch, which was very soft. It was perfect to rest there after an exhausting shopping trip.

The two children ate their desserts slowly. The driver and Lucy ate their desserts quickly, so they got out and helped Coral put her shopping in the car. Then they told Coral to get in, rest and have a drink.

When they finished eating, they left the supermarket and went home.

Since they had eaten some desserts, they were not hungry, even though it was almost noon. Dolores asked Coral to prepare lunch later and went upstairs to rest a bit. She wanted to lie down after walking for a long time.

Coral and Lucy put away the fruits they had just bought in the fridge and took out some fruits. After washing the fruits, they gave them to the two children.

“Miss takes such good care of herself. She looks so young and is so kind,” Lucy said.

Coral let out a giggle, “She is young.”

She got married at eighteen-how could she not be young?

Lucy thought Dolores should be at least thirty because Dolores’s children were already so old. If she married and had children in her twenties, she should be in her thirties.

She looked like a college student.

Ding-dong, the doorbell rang. Lucy said, “I’ll go answer the door.”

Since they had arranged everything, Coral gently tapped her legs and wanted to rest a little in her room. She said, “Okay, you can do that.”

Lucy walked over to the door and opened it. A delivery man was standing in front of the door.

The delivery man asked, “Is there a lady by the name of Lucy Poole here?”

Lucy took one look at the delivery man and said, “I’m Lucy Poole. You are…”

“I have a package for you. Please sign for it.” The delivery man pulled out a small paper box.

The recipient’s name was indeed her name.

“Who sent this to me?” she asked.

“I am only responsible for sending this package. I am not sure of the identity of the sender. Please leave your signature here.” The delivery man hands her the delivery confirmation receipt.

She took it and left her signature on it. Next, she picked up the small paper box.

There was no one in the living room. Everyone was resting in their rooms.

She sat down on the couch and opened the box. In the box, there was a stationery box that was full of money. There were ten dollar bills, hundred dollar bills, and fifty dollar bills. The stationery box was full of money.

Underneath the stationery box was a card.

She opened the card. It was a note written by her son: “Mom, I’ve missed you. The reason I have chosen Dad is that I am afraid you will not be able to afford to raise me. Since I have followed Daddy, it will be easier for you. Mommy, when I grow up, I will earn a lot of money and bring you to my house so you can live with me.”

Tears began to stream down her face. She and her husband came from the countryside. To earn a living, her husband would go out to work. At the same time, she took care of the elderly and the children in the house. Last year, her in-laws passed away and she brought her son to join her husband. But her husband was having an affair with a young woman.

Her husband, who had a successful career, was no longer interested. He was no longer young and did not know how to dress.

To fight for custody of their son, the couple resorted to legal action and went to court. Her husband was financially stable, so she was at a financial disadvantage. However, in order to keep her son by her side, she had to fight for custody of her son.

The judge took pity on the mother and asked the child’s opinion. He asked the child who he wanted to live with.

Her son replied, “I want to live with daddy.” At the time, she was crestfallen.

Little did she know…
