Amanda did not even have the time to refuse.
Sally said, “It looks good.”
She looked in the mirror. Having such a sparkling diamond on a black dress, its dazzling brilliance was
accentuated even more.
“Wow.” Nina ran in at some point and exclaimed when she saw how beautiful Amanda was. She
walked over and when she saw the necklace around her neck, she said, “I told you, my dad has a
house full of jewellery and he can take care of you well. Now you see it isn’t a lie, right?”
Joan once took her in so she had seen the house full of jewellery.
Amanda sighed slightly. ‘She doesn’t know what should she do to this child anymore. No matter what
she said, this child would always forget and then continue to fix her up with Joan.’
“Why do you come in? You don’t want to feed the fish anymore?” Sally asked her.
Only then did Nina remember what she was here for.
She hurriedly said to Amanda, “It’s almost time. I’m here to call you, Dad is waiting for you.”
Sally helped Amanda, “Let me help you put these on.”
Whilst Amanda was hesitating, Nina said, “Put it on. It looks good.”
She glanced at Nina in the mirror, compromised and let Sally put on for her. After all, she was going to
a banquet with Joan. According to the domestic language, it was to make the man look good. It was not
good for her to be too shabby and putting this marquis in disgrace.
After everything was packed up, she got up and walked out of the room.
Both Nina and Sally followed her.
Joan also changed his clothes. It was not western clothes but a neat military uniform. When his
handsome face was expressionless, it displayed a fearful seriousness.
His slender and tall figure looked heroic and he was not smiling. All these highlighted his heroic
appearance.
He was standing in the doorway and instructing the driver to do something.
“Dad.”
Nina’s voice made him turn his head to look in the direction of the house.
Amanda was standing not far from him. Her figure was tall and lithe while her manner was dignified and
elegant, “Sorry for keeping you waiting.”
Joan gazed at her.
Her seaweed-like black curly hair slid down her chest. Her skin was smooth and her eyes were
beautiful. When she was smiling, her brows revealed an indescribable charm. She was like a first
bloomed peony flower, gorgeous but not coquettish, bewitching but not vulgar when she was dressed
in the strapless black thigh-high slit dress. The attractive white fine legs which were occasionally
hidden and displayed in the black dress were silently alluring.
Joan withdrew his gaze and the hand behind his back was gently clenched. His tone was not as natural
and indifferent as usual, “The driver is ready, let’s go.”
Amanda walked over.
Joan opened the car door and escorted her to the car with his arm. After Amanda sat nicely, he got in
the car from another side.
Nina who was standing in the doorway waved her hand at them.
Amanda waved her hand at her also.
Soon, the car was driven away.
The car moved out of the courtyard and to the road. Through the glass, Amanda saw George walking
from the house in front of her. That house was her parents’ mansion.
‘These aren’t important. The important part is how come he appears here?’
“Stop the car,” Amanda blurted out. She was afraid that George’s appearance was because of
Stanford.
The driver brought the car to a halt.
Based on where she was staring at, Joan also looked out the car window and saw a man.
His heart twitched. ‘Is this her ex-husband?’
Thinking about this possibility, he turned to look at Amanda.
“Do you know him?”
He asked tentatively.
Amanda did not deny it, “Yes, but we aren’t close. Let’s go.”
The driver restarted the car engine.
At this time, George saw Amanda in the car. His eyes widened abruptly as he shouted, “Amanda.”
As he said, he ran over. But even if he could run fast, he could not be faster than the car.
“Amanda,” George chased after the car and shouted.
Amanda saw it but she did not call the driver to stop.
Amanda felt the reason why George would appear here was very likely because of Stanford.
Otherwise, he would not have found this place.
When she thought of that man, her palms felt clammy.
Joan looked at her expression that was not as relaxed as before. He was worried inwardly, “Is he…your
ex-husband?”
