"Cousin, something terrible has happened."
Tang Xiaonan's chubby little face was serious, and her solemn expression made Amanda Chapman wake up completely. Her heart sank, and her own face grew serious as she asked in a grave tone, "What happened? Did you lose another tooth?"
"No, my teeth are fine. I just had a dream about Mark Xavier."
Tang Xiaonan felt a little exasperated. 'To a real kid, even losing a tooth is a huge deal. I still can't keep up with Amanda Chapman's way of thinking.'
The moment Amanda Chapman heard it wasn't about a lost tooth, she relaxed. She broke off a tender young thistle from the side of the road, peeled it, and started eating the stalk inside. "What about Mark Xavier?" she asked casually.
