Back in the Courtyard House, Amanda Jenkins cooked many delicious homemade dishes.
Mrs. Sheppard and Kent were very happy, and Amanda Jenkins felt contented as well.
Immersed in the joy of family, she temporarily set aside the troubles she faced in Brocade City.
In the evening, Amanda Jenkins took her son for a stroll along the beach, where they collected many beautiful seashells.
Late into the night, back in the Courtyard House, Amanda Jenkins bathed Kent and then carried him to bed to sleep.
Kent had been so excited all day that he had no inclination to sleep even after getting into bed; he kept insisting on hearing about Amanda Jenkins's life in Brocade City.
Amanda Jenkins told him many things about her university days, carefully omitting any mention of the grievances she suffered with the Jenkins family, and not bringing up Lucas Griffin.
Kent listened with rapt attention and finally began to feel sleepy.
"Amanda Jenkins, sing a song for me."
