Chapter 42
“If you want to choose a teddy bear, do it quick,” Ace said as he wasn’t pleased with the
disturbance.
The woman nodded her head before getting into the shop. She was holding a little girl with her right. hand with a nylon paper bag in her left.
“Baby, which one do you need?” she asked although she already knew as she had seen the people around the man who was holding the teddy bear were not simple at all.
“I want that one but, Mommy, they are all beautiful,” the little girl said as she pouted, making the
onlookers smile at her cuteness.
They also tumed and looked at Amanda as they felt the scene was familiar.
“What? Why are you all looking at me?” Amanda said as she felt ashamed and embarrassed.
“How much is one teddy bear?” The woman asked the salesperson not to give anyone a chance to an
Amanda’s question.
“Miss, these are the limited versions, they cost fifty thousand,” the salesperson said, shocking the
woman.
She had thought that it was just ten thousand maximum.
She looked at her child and said, “Baby, it is so expensive. I can’t afford that much.”
She was so embarrassed as she felt people mocking her.
“It is okay mommy. I understand. When you get money will you buy it for me?” the little girl said as her eyes shone with hope in them.
“Yes baby,” she said with her voice cracking, as her daughter had always been understanding.
She always felt that she was more sensible than any other kid of her age.
“Oh, she is so cute,” Amanda said.

She knew what it felt like to want something but not get it because you were poor. Seeing this scene, she was moved.
She grabbed the teddy bear in Luke’s hand and started walking towards the girl.
“Baby, do you want this?” Amanda asked as she squatted before the little girl so that she could be on
her level.
The little girl nodded her head but in fear that her mom might reprimand her.
“What’s your name, sweetie?” Amanda asked in a soft voice and with a smile on her face afraid that she would make the little girl afraid of her.
“Angel,” the little girl said in a low tone but Amanda heard her so clearly.
“Okay, angel. This big sister has decided to give you this teddy bear so that it can always protect you at night.” Amanda said with a smile.
The little girl was happy but she looked at her mother as she was always taught never to accept gifts
from strangers.
“Miss, you don’t need to give the teddy bear. I understand that you guys wanted to buy it,” her mother said with a worried look on her face.
“Yes, we were but not just that but all of them. As you noticed when Angel said that they were all cute and wanted all people to look at me. It was because I had just said that before you walked in. I was going to take them all. I got my brothers to spoil me but now I can spoil someone younger than me,” Amanda said with a reassuring smile on her face as she wished that the woman would agree.
“Mandy, that’s not fair. How can you claim that you don’t have someone younger than you to spoil wher I am still living?” A voice said at the entrance making them turn around.
“Rosey,” Amanda said with a smile.
“Pfft. Don’t call me. It seems that you never take me as your little sister,” Rose said as she pouted but it made Amanda’s heart soften.
“Of course, I regard you as my baby sister. If not, would I have used fifty thousand to buy you clothes?” Amanda said as she knew that the teenager can be unreasonable sometimes.

“Of course, I regard you as my baby sister. If not, would I have used fifty thousand to buy your clothes?” Amanda sald as she knew that the teenager can be unreasonable sometimes.
“But still… Rose said as she felt defeated.
“Stop it. Don’t you think she is so cute? Can’t I also want someone younger to always spoil?” Amanda Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
asked, making Rose look at the little girl.
She was dumbfounded when she saw how beautiful the little girl was. She knew that in years to come she would make men go nuts.
“She is so cute.” Rose said as she ran towards the little girl. “Mandy, I am the one who is supposed to spoil her. You can’t be the only one spoiling people. My family has now risen and I will have more
money in the future.”
The little girl was shocked as she never expected that people would be fighting to spoil her
daughter.
“Angel, this is your teddy bear. Every time you have something to share you can talk about it. Treat
it as your best friend, okay?” Amanda ignored Rose and started talking to Angel.
“Mommy,” Angel called out as she pinched her mother’s hand.
“Miss, it is so expensive. We can’t take it,” Angel’s mom still insisted.
“Ma’am, please accept it. If you won’t be afraid she will keep on being stubborn and use more money
on your daughter,” Mark said as he knew Amanda’s character so well.
“Pretty please,” Amanda said as she held the woman’s hand intimately.
“If you are worried about this, treat me as your sister and I can be her aunt. In that way, you won’t
see me as a stranger anymore,” Amanda said, seeming devastated.
“Okay,” Angel’s mom said.
“Great. Angel, your mommy has agreed to let you take it. Also, you can call me Auntie Amanda, she is Auntie Rose and Elsa. They are both sisters. Over there, that’s my big sister, you can call her Auntie Ariana. And these gentlemen are my brothers, but the two are my cousins. You can call them

Ariana. And these gentlemen are my brothers, but the two are my cousins. You can call them uncle. From today, you have people to spoil you okay?” Amanda said with a beaming smile on her face
Angel’s mom was shocked as she never expected that her agreeing would lead to this. She wondered
whether it was too late to reject the request.
The onlookers looked at the mother–daughter duo with envious looks as they wished they had brough
their kids with them.
Angel looked at Ariana and hid behind her mother making Ariana speechless.
“Come, baby. Don’t be afraid of her. Actually, she is cold but inside she is a big teddy bear, It
won’t hurt having her as an extra teddy bear,” Amanda said as she pointed at Ariana.
