Aiden looked up and fixed his gaze upon Jack’s face. “We’re waiting for Dad to come home. Mom says once he is back, we can go out and play together.”

So, please don’t turn me down.” Jack was getting more and more convinced that Amanda had the potential to be his heir, feeling impressed with her mature thinking and excellent managerial skills.

In the end, Amanda helplessly agreed to her father’s offer, although she could tell that Jack was trying to pave the way for her to join his company.
