It's not too late to regret it now at 593

Jasper Bollock noticed movement at the stairs and looked up, "Who's there?"

Anastasia Jenkins stepped out, holding a cloth doll in her hands, her face full of grievance as she pouted and looked towards Amanda Jenkins, "Sister, my cloth doll is broken..."

Amanda Jenkins spoke in a gentle tone, "It's alright, I'll buy you a new one and have someone send it over in a bit."

"Sister is the best! Thank you, Sister!" Anastasia Jenkins ran over happily and intimately linked arms with Amanda Jenkins.

The smile on Amanda Jenkins's face was somewhat stiff; she didn't like Anastasia Jenkins being so close to her.

She gently pushed Anastasia Jenkins's hand away and stood up, saying to Gavin Jenkins, "Dad, we'll be going then."

Gavin Jenkins nodded but said nothing.

Although he was surprised about how Amanda suddenly ended up with Jasper Bollock, seeing Amanda's sweet demeanor, as a father, he naturally had only blessings to give.
