When Sally went downstairs in the morning, she saw Amanda awake and having breakfast at the dining table.

“Good morning, Aunt Sally!” Amanda waved at Sally.

“Good morning.”

Amanda was sizing Sally up and snickering as she was eating her sandwich.

Sally couldn't help but ask, “What's so funny?”

“It seems like you're in a good mood, Aunt Sally.” Amanda nodded gleefully at Sally before continuing, “I know why you're so happy, Aunt Sally. I did good, didn't I?”

Sally smiled in response and poured Amanda a glass of milk. “Where would you like to go today?”

“The zoo!” Amanda answered immediately. Excited, she exclaimed, “I heard the zoo has just brought in two tigers! I can't wait to see the ferocious tigers!”

“Sure. We'll go there after breakfast.”

Right then, Cooper walked down the stairs in a dark blue sweater and trousers. With a slender figure and silver thin-rimmed glasses, he looked like an elegant gentleman.

Sally glanced at Cooper and thought about what had happened earlier in the morning. His face is so deceiving! He looks frail and harmless, but he's actually the opposite!

“Huh? Why are you not wearing a suit, Uncle Cooper?” Amanda looked at what Cooper was wearing and asked, “Are you not going to work today?”

“No.” Cooper pulled out a chair to sit down and asked, “Didn't you say you want to go to the zoo?”

Thrilled that Cooper was going with them, Amanda started gobbling up her breakfast as she had thought Sally was bringing them to the zoo on her own.

Sally then poured a glass of coffee and served it to Cooper.

Just as she started eating her pancake, she received a text on her phone.

Sally leaned toward the phone and read the text. After that, she turned toward Cooper and said, “Frank just texted me. He's arriving in Jadeborough at around ten.”

Cooper knew who that was. That's Patrick's brother, no? Now that the mafias in Lostaria have been wiped out, Frank is no longer needed to work undercover. I guess he's coming to Jadeborough for Patrick.

Cooper glanced at the kids and said, “It seems like we're no longer going to the zoo today.”

“I can bring them while you meet up with Frank.” Sally didn't know Frank well, so she didn't have much to talk to him about.

Although the adults were conversing softly, Lucian overheard the conversation. After all, they were sitting at the same dining table.

Upon hearing what was said between the adults, Lucian uttered, “The weather isn't great today, and it's going to rain in the afternoon. We can go to the zoo tomorrow.”

“Is it really going to rain?” Amanda turned toward Lucian.

“Why would I lie to you?” Lucian showed Amanda the weather forecast and continued, “When it rains, the animals in the zoo are all going to hide. You'll only get to see the swans when it rains.”

Amanda didn't feel like going to the zoo anymore after hearing those words.
