I'm not the right person for Ms. Yerton, so I didn't buy the wedding ring.” Cooper chuckled. “Ms. Loake will be your aunt, okay?”

Amanda looked at him with a frown. “You like so many women. Why can't you make up your mind, Uncle Cooper?”

Cooper was rendered speechless. He turned around to look at Sally.

Sally remembered how Cooper had helped her at the jewelry store earlier. So, she told Amanda. “I was the one who thought your uncle wasn't the right person for Ms. Yerton.”

A wide-eyed Amanda stared at Sally. “Is it because you like Uncle Cooper?”

Sally hesitated for a few seconds before answering, “Um, kind of.”

Following that, Amanda saw the ring on Sally's finger. Next, she glanced at Cooper's finger. Both of their rings had a similar style.

She leaped out of Cooper's arms immediately and ran toward Lucian. Although she spoke softly, she sounded proud. “I told you that Uncle Cooper always hangs out with Ms. Loake, and she definitely likes him. Don't you agree, Lucian? See, Uncle Cooper and Ms. Loake are wearing rings!”

Amanda pointed at the two adults and regarded Lucian again. “You've lost, Lucian. You must build that Lego princess castle for me.”

Lucian turned around to glance at the couple's rings. He did not know what to say.

How could Uncle Cooper change his mind so quickly?

Although Sally seemed unapproachable, she was an excellent fighter. Moreover, she was gentle and soft-spoken in Amanda's presence. Amanda liked her as well, so she changed her opinion of Sally very quickly.

Amanda stood still obediently and allowed Sally to tie her scarf. She said, “Uncle Cooper, it's Christmas, and I want to play with Asel. I haven't seen Uncle Tim, Aunt Jojo, and Asel for a long time.”

“Your godmother has just returned from abroad. She misses Asel, too,” Cooper replied tenderly. “We'll visit them later. Sally and I will spend time with you this Christmas.”

Amanda felt disappointed. With a little pout, she asked, “Then, can I call Daddy?”

Cooper fell silent for a while.

After tying Amanda's scarf, Sally whispered, “There's this exciting ski castle. Want to go there?”

“Really?” Amanda was distracted at once.

Sally leaned closer and whispered something in her ear again. Amanda's eyes lit up with excitement, and she tugged at the woman's hand. “Let's go, Aunt Sally! I want to go there!”

“Going there by car is too slow.” As she spoke, Sally stole a glance at Cooper. “It all depends on your uncle now.”

Amanda rushed toward Cooper, wrapped her arms around his legs, and said in her piping voice, “Please, Uncle Cooper...”

Cooper asked Sally, “Where do you want to go?”

“Baxrich,” Sally answered.

“Indeed, going by car is too slow.” Cooper got out his phone. “I'll get Bertilla to book the tickets...”

“It's faster to travel there by helicopter,” Sally interrupted him. Then, she continued, “You don't need a pilot. After all, I've flown two jets before. Just get the helicopter ready.”

She added again, “I've checked the weather in Baxrich. There's light snow today.”

Cooper was rendered speechless.

After that, he phoned Bertilla. Everything was ready in less than an hour, and the helicopter landed on the helipad within the compound of Swallow Garden.
