Amanda instinctively avoided as such a demeanour was too intimate.

Joan was not embarrassed. He said, “Your hair is messy.”

She reached out and tidied up her messed hair. She sagged her eyes and said, “Thanks.”

Nina looked at Amanda and then at Joan. Her lips curled into a smile. She then happily ate the cherimoya. When she saw the exquisite box on the table, she asked, “Dad, what’s inside this box?”

“Clothes,” Joan answered.

“For whom?” she asked again.

Joan said it was for Amanda. Nina pulled Amanda, “Open it to take a look.”

Amanda said uncomfortably, “It’s better not to look at it.”

“You’ll have to wear it, why don’t you wear it first to see if it fits. You won’t have a chance to change it later.” Nina pulled her, “Take a look please.”

Amanda had no choice but to take off the cover of the box. There was a black fabric dress lying inside.

Its style could not be determined by just looking at it but one could see that the fabric was special. It was made of pure black cloth but there were hidden dark patterns. In any place where there was a light, it would reflect extremely dazzling light.

“Try it on.” Nina reached out her small hand and touched it, “It’s so smooth.”

Amanda lightly flicked her forehead, “Kid, it’s better to be good.”

“Am I not being good?” Nina blinked.

“You’re hyperactive. You should be a quiet little girl,” Amanda said deliberately.

Nina was speechless.

She moved into Joan’s arms and complained to Joan, “Dad, look at her. She isn’t cute at all.”

Amanda was speechless.

Joan turned to look at Amanda.
