It was clear to see that Amanda’s boyfriend adored her immensely. His eyes were almost always fixed
on her, as if worried she might disappear if he didn’t pay attention. The two seemed to complement
each other well.
Amanda’s boyfriend’s original name was Jackson. Later, he thought it sounded bad, so he went to
change his name. Now he was called Jason.
“It’s… quite interesting.”
Jason was a straightforward, generous person. To those he considered his own, he was exceedingly
accommodating and wouldn’t hold grudges.
However, if outsiders tried to bully him, his robust physique was not just for show. He wouldn’t hesitate
to stand up for himself and could be quite formidable.
The dynamic between Amanda and Jason was quite amusing. Amanda never restricted Jason’s
behavior, nor did she find him embarrassing. She would even play along with him, and then secretly
chuckle at his antics.
Sasha started to think that Amanda, like her brother Timothy, was quite the sly character. In their
hands, Jason and Andie seemed almost naively sweet.
If it weren’t for the unmistakable love in Amanda’s eyes, Sasha might have doubted Amanda’s
intentions in choosing such a boyfriend.
In any case, Amanda was certainly an intriguing person. Perhaps because she was similar to Timothy,
Sasha didn’t feel repelled by her. In fact, she felt a special kinship with Amanda, and soon they all
gelled well together.
Amanda brought Sasha a gift, a collection of high-quality gemstone, as thanks for a gift Sasha had sent
her earlier.
Sasha was pleasantly surprised and felt somewhat bashful, as she hadn’t prepared a gift
in return.
Jason waved it off nonchalantly. “Don’t be embarrassed. If you like these, I can take your to our mine to
dig up more. We’ve got plenty.”
Sasha was speechless.
Okay, this guy was genuinely wealthy.
Amanda glared at Jason, and he immediately restrained himself. “That’s not what I meant. Your sister
actually put in a lot of effort to prepare this gift for you.”

“Just because you have a lot of something doesn’t mean it isn’t precious. Brother-in-law, rest assured, I
fully appreciate my sister’s intentions and won’t misunderstand.”
This endearment seemed to strike a chord with Jason, and he immediately accepted Sasha as one of
their own.
“I knew Andie had good taste. Sasha, you’re a sensible person.”
Sasha’s lips curled into a smile, amused by Jason’s straightforwardness. Amanda also laughed at his
silly manner, then turned to Sasha. “Don’t mind him. He speaks without thinking, but his heart is in the
right place.”
Sasha certainly didn’t mind and she found Jason’s openness made him easy to get along
with.
Sasha would have struggled with people like those from the Leigh family.
As they chatted and dined, everyone gradually relaxed. Lester and Timothy loosened up, joining Jason
for drinks.
The men started bonding, while the women chatted on the side.
“Inviting you out today was partly to thank you for the gift you gave me, and also to get to know you
better. If there’s anything you need help with, just let me know. I’ll be there for you.”
Amanda said sincerely. Her words were not merely out of politeness or an attempt to curry favor due to
Sasha’s family status, but genuinely heartfelt.
Sasha understood and nodded earnestly.
“Don’t worry, Amanda. We might even become family in the future. I won’t stand on ceremony with
you.”
At these words, a flicker of surprise crossed Amanda’s eyes.
She glanced at Timothy and suddenly realized something.
She knew it. It was just a small gathering. How could it disturb someone like Timothy.
