As Genevieve didn't see any bloodstains on Armand's shirt, she figured he was simply bruised and didn't follow him to the hospital.

While making her way toward the car, she had a strange feeling that she was being watched by a cold pair of eyes. However, she saw no one when she looked around her.

That was when she got a phone call from James asking her to sign a few documents at the office.

Genevieve then retracted her gaze and got into her car.

She spent the rest of the day at the office and went home at around five in the evening. Steven had already brought the kids home by the time she returned to the mansion.

They had a lot of fun picking tons of fruits at the orchard earlier that day. As Amanda mentioned that she liked rabbits, Steven took her to a farm and bought her two rabbits.

Even Asel started playing with the rabbits and kept grabbing at their ears.

After washing her hands clean, Amanda made her way to the living room and said, “Mom! Mr. Valentine hasn't called me in a long time!”

Since her return to Chanaea, Jack would give her a call every few days.


Huh, this reminds me... I haven't seen Jack ever since I left Dartan. He hasn't given me a single phone call either. I tried calling him twice, but Lilian answered both of those calls. Although Jack doesn't exactly treat me well, he has been very nice to the kids, so I don't want to ruin their image of him.

Since Amanda missed Jack a lot, Genevieve tried giving him a call.

The call got through seconds later, and Lilian's voice came on the other line. “Hello.”

“Sorry to bother you, but Jack hasn't called Amanda in a while. She really misses him,” Genevieve said apologetically.

Lilian went silent for a while before saying softly, “All right, you can put Amanda on the phone.”

Genevieve handed Amanda the phone while Lilian passed Jack's phone over to him.

Amanda told Jack that she wanted to study in Chanaea because of how fun it was. She also asked Jack when he would come to visit her. Jack said he was busy with work and would go see her as soon as he was free.

The two of them chatted for a little while longer before Jack said he had to go and ended the call.

Noticing the pout on Amanda's face when she handed the phone back, Genevieve patted her head and asked, “What's wrong? Was the chat with Mr. Valentine unpleasant?”

“No.” Amanda shook her head.

She wanted to tell Genevieve that she heard someone crying while she was speaking to Jack but held her tongue as she felt it wasn't very appropriate.

Seeing as it was almost eight in the evening, Genevieve said, “I don't think your daddy is coming home tonight. What would you like to have for dinner?”

Amanda's face fell when she heard that. “Is Daddy that busy?”

Genevieve didn't want to tell her about Armand's injury as she didn't want to worry her. Their conversation was then interrupted by the sound of the doorbell.
