Cooper adjusted his glasses and smile warmly. “It's okay. If you need more, I'll bring in snow from outside.”

“Okay!” Amanda nodded.

Amanda then saw Sally coming to the garden after parking the car. She waved at Sally happily and said to Cooper, “We also need to build one for Ms. Loake!”

“Sure.” Cooper smiled faintly.

Cooper saw Amanda wearing a winter dress, but she wasn't covering up her neck. Hence, he went in to get a scarf for her.

Coincidentally, Steven was coming out of his room, so he ended up chatting with Cooper.

After Steven found out about what had happened to Armand and his wife, it took him a long while to come to terms with the news. However, he was with the kids every day, so he had to prevent the kids from noticing it.

“Should I bring the kids to Xedells?” Steven asked.

“What for?” Cooper took Amanda's scarf from the rack and added, “Mandy is smart. If you do that, she'll surely know something had happened to her parents.”

Steven went silent for a while before heaving a sigh. “We can't cover this up forever, can we?”

Steven was contemplating asking Cooper if someone could impersonate Armand. However, everyone has a unique aura. That time around, Armand could impersonate Bruce and gain the kids' trust because they were blood-related. If any of us were to do it, the kids will surely see through us.

“Let's just figure it out as we go.” Cooper couldn't come up with any good ideas, either. “I heard that General Zeigler is still hospitalized and unconscious. Perhaps you should check things out in Baykeep.”

“Becca is there.”

“Still, you should be there. Help me look after General Zeigler,” Cooper urged. “After all, he's Genev's granddad. If something were to happen to him, Baykeep will be in a mess.”

A moment later, Cooper added, “In the meantime, I'll stay here and look after the kids.”

Hearing that from Cooper, Steven had no choice but to agree.

Cooper then asked him if Rebecca had left a down jacket there because he wanted to borrow it from her. “It's rather cold today. Sally is still outside, and she's only wearing a coat.”

Steven knew what had happened to the Loake family, so he asked in puzzlement, “Do you still have any dealings with her?”

“Yes. I hired her to be the kids' bodyguard.”

“Am I not doing that already?” Steven asked.

“You have a girlfriend now. How could I possibly let you bring kids around wherever you go?” Cooper adjusted his glasses and smiled. “Besides, you're going to be busy after this.”

Steven knew Cooper was implying something, so Steven didn't question further. Instead, he just went back to his room to get Cooper a female down jacket.
