Amanda Smith chuckled, patted his face, and smiled warmly, "I'm entrusting Sky's matters to you. Make sure to talk to your mom, she listens to you the most."
Samuel Johnson thought for a moment, "She would probably be furious, right?"
Amanda also thought for a moment and nodded, "Quite likely."
Hearing her say this, Samuel became even more certain that this little woman had some ulterior motive for adopting Sky Moore. He leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Why did you adopt him?"
Amanda tilted her head, thought for a moment, and replied softly, "His parents died, he was lonely and helpless, living under someone else's roof... Perhaps I saw a reflection of my younger self in him..." Her tone softened and her expression grew somber, "Thinking this, I wanted to treat him better. I was about his age when your family adopted me... But he wasn't as lucky as I was, Tasha Moore took him away."
Was being adopted by his family really a stroke of luck for Amanda?
