Chapter 970 Beauty Is in The Eye of The Beholder
When Amanda entered the house, Nina was standing in the living room. Sally had just helped her to
the bathroom. Amanda took a shower and put on clean clothes.
Her hair was still slightly wet as she just wiped her hair with a dry towel and did not blow it with a
hairdryer. At this moment, she was blinking her big eyes while looking towards the doorway.
Joan walked in.
His clothes were soaking wet too. He looked strong and attractive while exposing his muscles vaguely.
Nina had already been familiar with it as she had seen the upper part of daddy’s body naked before.
She was more concerned about something else at this moment.
“Daddy.” Nina blocked his way, “Why didn’t you play with her a little longer?”
It was not easy for her to create such an opportunity.
Joan was speechless.
After all, should he and she splash water onto each other?
“Hey, her leg is fine and she is about to leave. You don’t have a chance anymore if you don’t seize it
properly.” Nina was worried.
She started giving him a lecture, “Think about it, there will only be two of us again for dinner if she is
gone. How lonely would it be?”
“You don’t want her to leave just because you’re afraid of having a lonely dinner, aren’t you?” Joan
frowned.
Wasn’t it because she liked Amanda?
“There’s more than that of course. She is also pretty. She will tell me stories and cuddle me until I fall
asleep. She is like my mum. If both of you get together, I will have a daddy and a mum as well.” Nina
rambled on but she seemed to miss the main point.
“Nina, don’t you like her and that’s why you wanted her to stay?” Joan asked.
“I like her of course. Don’t you like her too?” Nina asked in return.
Joan was dumbfounded.
Did he like her?
He did not seem to hate her…quite enjoyed getting along with her.
Was that kind of liking?
“Daddy, this is your last chance. You don’t have any chance left if you miss it.” Nina exclaimed in
dismay.
Joan patted her head, “Children should not bother adults’ business.”
Nina pouted, “Just relying on yourself, you will be alone for the rest of your life.”
Joan was speechless.
This kid was really smart but mischievous!
Joan went out after having lunch, leaving Amanda and Nina at home.
Nina was helpless as she felt that Joan was an idiot. Amanda was going to leave soon but he still went
out and did not know to win Amanda’s heart.
Amanda was booking a flight ticket online while sitting on a sofa.
She was going to leave tomorrow after accompanying Joan to the dinner tonight.
Nina approached her, “What are you doing?”
Amanda had already booked the flight ticket. She put her phone down and reached out to hug Nina.
She was going to leave and would not see this smart cookie anymore.
Nina blinked her eyes and asked, “Do you think my daddy is good?”
Amanda said without hesitation, “He is a kind person.”
Nina continued looking at her but then Amanda did not make any other remarks.
Nina was speechless.
“Don’t you like my daddy?” Nina asked in anticipation. She added as she was afraid Amanda might
misunderstand, “The kind of love between a man and a woman.”
Amanda was speechless.
‘What is this kid’s brain full of?’
‘She even knows about the love relationship between a man and a woman?’
“Say something.” Nina kept demanding answers.
Joan was coming in with a box and he heard the question asked by Nina. He stopped at the doorway
as he somehow wanted to know how did Amanda feel about him.
He stood still and wanted to hear Amanda’s answer.
Amanda looked at Nina and shook her head, “Your daddy is good but I don’t like him.” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Nina could no longer sit still, “Why?”
Joan was very disappointed at the doorway.
“No reason.” Amanda was about to get up when Nina pulled her, “Tell me why.”
At such a young age, she was so stubborn to find out the reason.
Amanda did not want to deal with her relationship anymore after getting along with Stanford. She did
not dare to try a new relationship.
Since she had not been with Stanford for the whole year, she just wanted to take revenge on Stanford
and did not want to deal with her relationship.
She was afraid that her sincerity was just a daydream after all.
She once hoped to have a sweet relationship with the right person, enjoying a blissful life until death.
She would not have such anticipation in the future.
With a broken heart, she did not dare to fall in love with anybody else.
However, she could not say these words to such a small kid. Amanda thought for a while as she had to
give Nina a reason, “Nina, your daddy and I aren’t suitable.”
“Why aren’t you suitable? You’re pretty while my daddy is handsome. It’s a perfect match.”
“That’s just the surface.” Amanda caressed her head, “There’s nothing to do with appearance when two
people get along. As a saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you like somebody, you will
find them good-looking no matter how beautiful or ugly they look.”
“What do you mean by ‘beholder’?” Nina asked.
Amanda explained patiently, “A beholder means a person who sees and observes somebody.”
“But I have never met the beauty, so how does the beauty concern me whether she looks beautiful or
ugly?” Nina said.
Amanda was speechless.
Had she been explaining so long for nothing?
“I know you’re beautiful.” Nina smiled, “Why don’t you like my daddy?”
Amanda was speechless.
She thought about it and gave a simple reason, “Nina, your daddy and I aren’t suitable because we
have different experiences. Your daddy hasn’t liked anybody yet, but I have liked somebody before.”
Nina stood on tiptoes, “Did you fall in love with somebody?”
Initially, Amanda wanted to say that she had loved somebody in the past.
However, she wanted Nina to give up the idea of matching them. So, she said purposely, “Yes, I fall in
love with somebody.”
Nina was extremely depressed as she looked like a deflated ball.
Joan was gloomy at the doorway.
“Sir.” Sally came over with some fruit and greeted Joan at the doorway.
Nina and Amanda looked at the doorway immediately when they heard Sally’s voice.
Joan stepped in and replied “yes” softly.
“Daddy,” Nina shouted.
Joan placed the box on the table. Then, he carried Nina and kissed her cheek, “Let Sally bring you to
get some sugar apples in the backyard since they’re ripe, okay?”
Nina nodded, “Okay.”
Sally came over and took Nina to the backyard.
Nina yelled, “Let’s go and get a basket.”
Sally let her take a small bamboo basket to the backyard.
Joan sat down on the sofa opposite.
He wanted to say something to Amanda but did not know how to start a conversation. Both of them
remained silent for a while.
The sudden silence was a bit awkward.
Amanda broke the silence first and simply found a topic, “What’s inside this box?”
“A dress.”
She raised her eyes.
Joan said, “It’s for you.”
Amanda immediately understood that it should be a formal dress required for the dinner.
“Hmm…” Joan stammered.
He pondered as he still did not know how to express himself.
He intended to comfort Amanda but he did not know how to comfort her.
Amanda saw his clumsy look and could not help but feel amused.
“Straight to the point,” She spoke.
