Chapter 1167

Just as Sally was about to hang up the call, Amanda's childish voice rang out. “Hi, Aunt Sally. I miss you. Have you had your New Year's Eve dinner yet?”

Sally hummed in response.

“Uncle Yuvan bought me lots of fireworks. Come on over, Aunt Sally. Let's set off fireworks together, okay?”

Amanda covered the phone and spoke in hushed tones. “I'm sure Uncle Cooper wants to see you too.”

With that, she ended the call.

Cooper noticed Amanda looking gleeful when she returned the phone to him. It was as though she had achieved a great feat.

He couldn't help but ask, “What did you talk about with your Aunt Sally?”

Cooper couldn't help but chuckle as he watched her.
