Chapter 927

At four-thirty in the afternoon, they arrived at Johanna's mansion.

When Johanna—who had just emerged from her greenhouse—saw Genevieve and Armand arrive with Sally, she

quickly pulled Genevieve aside to inquire about the situation.

Genevieve explained in a moody tone, “Armand hired her to be my bodyguard.”

Gasping in shock, Johanna turned around to sneak a glance at Sally before asking curiously, “Why is Armand doing

this all of a sudden? Is it because they have hatched a plan to kill you in an accident so that both of them can finally

be together?”

“Sally is capable of killing me even if she isn't my bodyguard.” Genevieve gave her a look of resignation. “Where

are the children?”

“Cooper was free today and came over this morning. Since Amanda complained about the hot weather and wanted

to go for a swim, he ended up taking them out.” Johanna, who was having some grapes, fed Genevieve a few. “He

brought Asel along with them and should be back anytime now after spending the entire day outside.”

“Now that you're home, why hasn't Sally left yet? Should I get the kitchen to prepare an extra portion for her?”

Johanna asked.

In the midst of their conversation, the children's crisp voices suddenly rang out from outside.

Wearing a blue bubble dress, Amanda looked extremely adorable with her puffy cheeks. Upon entering the house,

she ran toward Armand the moment she saw him.

"Daddy!”

Armand wiped the sweat off her forehead. “Did you enjoy yourself?”

“Mmm-hmm!” Amanda nodded and related in an excited tone, “Uncle Cooper brought me to the water theme park

today. It was so fun that I didn't feel like coming home.”

Armand chuckled as he turned toward Cooper. “Thanks for taking them out despite having so much to do at work.”

“I was free today. Besides, it's been a while since I last saw the children.” Amidst his reply, he was surprised when

he accidentally caught a glimpse of Sally.

She, too, threw him a glance, and quickly lowered her gaze to continue savoring the fruit she was eating.

As it was the first time she had seen so many guests at home, the housekeeper came out to the living room to ask

what they would like to have for dinner so that she would have enough time to prepare.

Just as Cooper decided to leave after dinner, his phone suddenly rang.



Something at the office needed his attention, so he had no choice but to leave.

Right after he did, Sally got up from the couch and walked up to Genevieve. “Whenever you need to head out when

Armand is not around, give me a call and I'll pick you up.”

With that, Sally, too, left the mansion.

When Genevieve was still in a daze, Johanna leaned in and remarked in surprise, “Is it me or is Sally behaving

strangely? Of all the time to leave, why did she do so right after Cooper did?”

“Isn't that good? There's one less person to prepare food for,” Genevieve replied without giving it much thought.

As soon as Cooper came out of the mansion and unlocked his car, he was surprised to see Sally walking up to him

from behind.

“Give me a ride.”

“We're not going the same way.” Cooper didn't want to have anything to do with her. “I'll get a driver to pick you

up.”

Without saying a word, Sally went right up to the driver's seat.

Grabbing Cooper's keys from his hand, she nudged her chin to the side with an indifferent look in her eye. “I don't

like letting someone else drive. So, get in the front passenger seat.”

The calm expression on Cooper's face was replaced by one of exasperation. Just as he was about to protest, Sally

pushed him aside and slipped into the driver's seat.

Pinching his forehead, Cooper decided to bear with it as he circled around the car to the front passenger seat.

Once he got into the car, Sally drove away from the mansion.

Sally's phone rang along the journey. She answered it with one hand before leaving it on speaker on top of the

armrest storage.

It was her mother, Miranda, who called to check if she was coming home for dinner.

“I'm on my way. Will be home shortly—” When Sally glanced at her side mirror, her eyes narrowed immediately.
