The dished were soon served on the table. The table next to Amos was full of joy.
However, Amos was alone. He chewed on the food silently, but they all tasted bland.
While he was eating, Harley came in with a group of people. At the first glance, he saw Amos sitting there alone. He hurriedly brushed those people away and walked over to his table happily.
âAmos, what are you doing here alone? You look like youâre in a good mood!â
Eudora could obviously recognize Harleyâs voice.
Upon hearing this, she immediately knew that Amos was next to her. She furrowed her brows and heard Harley say, âOh my God, why did you order so much? Itâs such a waste, isnât it?â
Amos frowned. âJust mind your own business, will you?â
Harley was confused. âWhatâs going on? Did I offend you or something?â
As soon as he finished speaking, the person at the opposite table had already stood up. The familiar silhouette made Harley lift his head subconsciously. At that instant, he was extremely surprised.
âOh my God. Is that Eudora?â
Amos wanted to stop him, but it was already too late. Harley was the top of his class when he graduated from the police academy.
Almost no one could stop him. If it were in the past when Amos was still well, perhaps he could have done it. But he was in a wheelchair now.
Just as Eudora was about to take Juju away, a figure had already stood before her.
Harley was very enthusiastic. âEudora, itâs really you. I have missed you so much! I have never had anything as good as your cooking ever since you left.â
Eudora was speechless.
After a long pause, she could not help but ask, âYou just want me to cook for you, donât you?â
The corner of his mouth twitched a little. âIt doesnât really matter now, does it? I have always believed that you are alright. Amosâ effort in finding you throughout these years will finally not go in vain.â
After that, his eyes fell on the little girl who was in Eudoraâs arms.
âIs this your daughter? You can call me Uncle.â
Juju looked at him with her big and round eyes. Obviously, she was a little curious and confused about this man who had appeared from out of nowhere.
Juju frowned.
Harley looked into Jujuâs beautiful eyes and at that instant, he was shocked.
âHer eyes looks exactly like Amosâ!â
Eudoraâs heart sank and she instinctively covered Jujuâs eyes.
Christopher, who was standing behind her, stepped forward and pushed Harley away. âMr. Louis, I know you are Amosâ good friend, but please donât talk nonsense.â
Harley scowled at Christopher. âYo, it turns out that the boy from the Gellert family has returned. Did you accomplish anything after leaving so many years? I thought that you would make an impressive return this time!â
Christopherâs face darkened. âItâs none of your business.â
Christopher wanted to leave. But Harley was as stubborn as a mule. He had seen Amos suffer so much over the years. He felt sorry for his friend.
It was not easy for Eudora to come back. He felt that there was still a chance between Amos and Eudora. It wasnât necessary to make things awkward because of Christopher.
Thinking of this, Harley stopped Christopher and said, âYou canât leave without my permission.â
Amos, who was nearby, finally approached them. He frowned and said, âMove aside, Harley.â
Juju, who was frowning in Eudoraâs arms, suddenly shouted with a sweet voice.
âUncle!â
Upon hearing her voice, Amos felt that his heart melt.
He curved his lips slightly and said, âJuju.â He had heard Eudora referring to her by this name.
Harley was stunned. How could this girl frown when she saw a lovable and handsome man like him?
However, she was so sweet towards Amos when she saw him.
What was even more shocking was that ever since Eudora left five years ago, Amos had never squeezed out a smile. However, when he saw this girl, he actually smiled at her!
However, what Harley did not know was that after Amosâ smile disappeared, there was only bitterness left in his heart.
He wished that this child was his daughter.
Harley was not convinced, so he threw a coquettish glance at Juju. âYouâre Juju, right? I am Uncle Louis, am I handsome?â
Juju turned her head and said, âMommy, I want to go home.â
Harley didnât know what to say.
Eudora didnât want Juju to have too much contact with Amos, so she said, âHarley, please excuse us, we are leaving now!â
Harley saw that Amos did not intend to stop her, so he had no choice but to give way. However, he still didnât give up and shouted again, âEudora, where do you live now? Iâll go to your house for dinner next time.â
Eudora was speechless.
After they left, Harley looked at Amosâ thin face and sighed.
âWhat the hell are you thinking? Donât you know that she is single now? You should have asked Christopher to get out of the way, shouldnât you?â
Amos shook his head. âI donât want to scare her away.â
Harley was speechless. Well, his friend had become Romeo now, huh?
âItâs okay. Anyway, both of you are not young anymore. You two should take your time. Well, what are you going to do with Wendy? I think she hasnât given up after all these years! I also sympathize with you for having such a savior.â
Amos frowned and said, âDonât tell her anything about Eudora. I will tell her the truth when the timing is right.â
âItâs up to you!â Harley said. âHowever, let me remind you that your savior is not easy to deal with. Donât make things difficult for yourself like you did in the past.â
âI know what Iâm doing,â Amos said.
Just as this topic ended, Amos asked again, âDid you find out anything about the explosion? What actually happened?â
Harleyâs face fell slightly. âIt didnât happen in our country so there are a lot of hindrances in the investigation. In addition to that, the relevant departments on the other side werenât paying a lot attention to this matter. They are used to it happening every other day.â
Amos knew about it so he didnât say anything.
âIâll inform you once I get any information!â Harley said.
â¦
After heading back, Eudora was very nervous and refused to let go of Juju.
Juju then said in a soft voice, âMommy, Iâm in pain!â
It was not until then that Eudora realized what was going on and quickly let go of Juju.
Christopher frowned. He felt a little annoyed that he had failed to protect them.
Thinking of this, he suddenly said, âEudora, will you marry me please?â
Eudora was startled as she looked at him in shock. After a long while, she smiled and said, âAre you trying to cheer me up? Iâm fine.â
Christopher shook his head. âNo, Iâm serious. I hope that you will marry me so that I will have the opportunity to take care of the both of you.â
For a moment, Eudora didnât know what to say, but Juju spoke first.
âUncle Gellert, do you want to be my father?â
