Chapter 649
Patting Amanda’s soft check, Bruce responded gently: “Mandy, you shouldn’t trust me just because I’m your uncle’s friend. I might be a bad guy. You need to put your guard up before your mommy and uncle’s friends, understand?”
Amanda nodded obediently. She shot Bruce a stumped look. “Are you a bad guy, Mr. Gable? Can I still talk to you?”
Bruce chuckled. “Of course, you can.”
Beaming, Amanda climbed onto a seat and told Bruce to sit next to her. She pulled out a piece of palmier from her bag and gave it to him.
“The owner of a dessert shop baked these for me. They are delicious!”
Before going to bed last night, Amanda ate one in secret. She also stuffed a few in her bag this morning.

Bruce took the pastry he baked, unsure of what he should feel right now. He didn’t forget to thank Amanda, though.
The sight of her sweet smile made his worries and exhaustion fade away.
Amanda swung her legs and asked curiously, “Mr. Gable, aren’t you a celebrity? Celebrities are ferried around in their minivans. Why are you taking the subway?”
“My minivan broke down,” Bruce answered cheerfully. “I’m in a hurry to meet a friend, so I took the subway.”
Amanda responded, “Oh, I see. Mr. Gable, ask where I am going!”
“Where are you and your brother going?”
“To find my daddy!” Amanda blinked her cyes and added smugly, “My daddy is handsome and rich! Of course, you’re also handsome, Mr. Gable.”
Bruce felt his heart expand when he heard his daughter praising him. His lips curved involuntarily as he responded, “Mm.”
Lucian folded his arms and stared at Bruce as though the latter was a criminal.

As they reached their station, Lucian hopped off his seat and took Amanda’s hand. “We’ve arrived,” he announced coolly.
Before leaving, Amanda turned at her shoulder and waved at Bruce, “Bye, Mr. Gable!”
Bruce grunted in acknowledgment and didn’t look at her.
He was afraid that he would go after them and trigger Lucian’s disgust.
Outside the subway station, Lucian hailed a taxi that brought them to Swallow Garden. A
The security guard thought they were residents who had fun outside, and their parents didn’t come to pick them up, so he allowed them entry without asking any questions.

Steven had come to Swallow Garden a while ago to wait for the kids. He got bored and went to water the roses in the garden.
Hearing Amanda’s cute voice, he placed the watering can down and hurried to the gate.
The kids looked more adorable in person. Even their eyes were sparkling with curiosity. Oh, Lucian looks like Armand.
Lucian gazed at Steven. “Mister, why aren’t you curious to see two strangers standing in front of your house?”
Steven grinncd. “I’ve met you before. I know your mom well.”
Amanda’s brows snapped together as she racked her brains to figure out who he was. Suddenly, she blurted out excitedly, “Oh, I know! You must be Steven Sullivan, my daddy’s secretary, right?”
