My Husband Is a Gary Stu

At the crack of dawn, Sally scooped Amanda out from under the covers.

Initially, Amanda was still feeling all groggy, but the moment she learned that they were going to Baykeep for breakfast, she jolted wide awake. Seeing that Sally was wearing a black sweater, she likewise insisted on the same.

Sally carried her to the walk-in closet and had her pick her clothes herself.

Cooper and Lucian were already waiting downstairs. A while later, the sight of Amanda skipping down the stairs with her hand in Sally's greeted them.

She wore a black dress with thick leggings and had a round beret on her head, complemented by a pair of black boots on her feet.

Her face was chubby, and she gave off a cool vibe while looking adorable. On the whole, she was both beautiful and sassy.

Nudging his glasses, Cooper frowned. “Doesn't Mandy favor red and blue? You're wearing black, so you also made her follow suit?”

Before Sally could explain, Amanda interjected, “I chose it myself! I've never worn this dress before.”

After going downstairs, she spun in a circle in front of Cooper. “Do I look cute, Uncle Cooper?”

Cooper picked her up and pecked her on the cheek. “Yes! You're the cutest, Mandy.”

Once they all boarded the helicopter, Cooper checked the safety equipment of both children in the back. Then, the aircraft slowly lifted into the air and flew toward Baykeep.

The weather that day was pretty great, and the sun gradually rose from the east.

An active person in nature, Amanda alternated between gazing out the window and chatting with Sally. “Can we go abroad by helicopter, Aunt Sally?”

“Yes, as long as the flight route is approved. Is there somewhere you'd like to go?” Sally asked.

With twinkling eyes, Amanda said, “I want to go to Eskaria to look at the pyramids! Aren't they open to the public now? Are there really pharaohs in mummies?”

“Their bodies would've long since decayed, leaving only skeletons behind. Do you dare look?” Lucian chimed in.

When Amanda heard that, goosebumps rose all over her skin, and she promptly stopped talking about that. “It seems that the pyramids in cartoons are fake.” She propped a hand against her cheek and heaved a sigh. “I've lost my passion for life.”

Listening to their juvenile conversation, Sally was tickled pink. Her lips curved up, and she laughed soundlessly. When she noticed Lucian's gaze drifting to the pilot's seat every so often, realization dawned upon her.

She unfastened her seat belt. Reaching back, she hoisted Lucian to the front.

Right then, the helicopter was on autopilot. She placed his hands on the steering wheel and started introducing the equipment around the cockpit to him.

Beside her, Cooper glanced at them but said nothing.

Lucian had been on a helicopter many times, but he had always sat in the back because of his tender age.
