âI have never been cute! Besides, I have a grudge against you!â
Harley didnât know what to say.
âI didnât offend you, did I?â
âWho said you didnât? I was just scolded by Old Master Granger and youâre here, trying to speak for him. Who should I blame this on if itâs not you?â
Harley trembled with fear.
After a moment of silence, Harley said, âIâm just telling the truthâ¦â
âStop! I havenât even asked you yet. Where was the girl you caught?â
âDonât mention that girl!â Harley was furious and he continued, âItâs fine that sheâs not in the profession but she stepped on me before she left. I will have my revenge when I see her!â
âYou two seem to be made for each other!â Eudora blurted out.
Harley was stunned and he immediately smiled. âDonât make fun of me. Would I even fall in love with a girl like that? Iâll stream myself eating poop if I did!â
âOkay, Iâll wait and see then!â
Harley was speechless. Why did it feel like Eudora was waiting to see him stream himself eating poop?
After sending Eudora and Juju back, Harley called Amos with his mobile phone.
âIâve sent them home and successfully completed the task.â
âOkay. Thank you!â Amos replied.
âItâs not easy to hear you thank me!â Harley teased.
However, Amos did not seem to be in the mood to chat with Harley. Harley sighed, âItâs not easy for you to finally have Eudora again, yet your father seemed to be causing some troubles for you again. What are you going to do about this?â
Amos smiled faintly and said, âDo I look that obedient to you?â
Harley paused and asked, âArenât you⦠Arenât you afraid that your father will die of anger?â
âDonât worry. Heâs much stronger than you think he is!â
Harleyâs eyes suddenly widened and curiosity was clear on his face. âSo, what are you going to do? Are you going to just do whatever you want and tell him later? But, Eudora seemed to be a little hesitant?â
âI wonât give her a chance to hesitate then.â
Harley was excited. Goodness, it seemed like the usual Amos was finally coming back again!
âAre your moral standards decaying or are you losing your humanity? Why are you so sure now?â
Amos frowned and he said, âHarry and the others have already known about Eudora and Jujuâs presence, hence itâs no longer safe for them. Iâm the only one who could protect them.â
Amos was flexing about his love life again!
â¦
Over the next two days, Amos did not show up and Eudora did not take the initiative to look for him either.
However, Juju was very anxious and she would repeat over a hundred times a day. âWhy hasnât Daddy come yet?â
Eudora had no choice but to say, âHe will return when heâs done with his business!â
âBut when will Daddy finish his work?â
âI donât know!â
Eudora shook her head.
Finally, Amos showed up on the fourth day after Juju had repeated the same conversation for four consecutive days. He came with the prizes that they had won from the competition. The customized clothes were already done with Jujuâs drawings printed on it.
Juju was so happy that she immediately asked Eudora and Amos to put them on. After that, the family of three took several photos together.
Juju then asked, âDaddy, is Grandpa alright?â
âHeâs fine. Whatâs wrong?â
âIâm just asking. I asked my teacher about it yesterday and she said that Grandpa was so fierce because no one played with him. So, if someone was willing to accompany him, then he wonât be so grumpy anymore!â
Amos burst into laughter and asked, âThen, is Juju willing to go back and accompany him?â
âIf Mommy goes, then Iâll go!â
âJuju!â Eudora stopped her and said, âEnough of that nonsense!â
âJujuâs not talking nonsense!â Amos suddenly said. After that, he took off the necklace from his neck and took the ring off it.
âEudora, marry me!â
Eudora was taken aback. She did not expect Amos to propose to her so suddenly!
Juju immediately jumped up and said, âMommy, quickly say yes!â
Eudora was speechless. âChildren should not interfere with this!â
Juju pouted and she entered her own bedroom alone. Finally, Eudora looked at Amos and said, âI didnât expect you to propose so soon! Besides, Iâm not ready yet.â
âEudoraâ¦â
âIâm serious, Amos. Iâve taken into account everything you did for me and Juju for the past few months. To be honest, I donât have any reason to refuse you. Not to mention that I really loved you back then!â
âHowever, love is not everything in life, especially now that I have a child. The Granger family is not a very safe place. Your uncleâs family is treating the Old Master kindly because they are eyeing the money they would get after his passing. Now, I have to consider whether I could fight with you side by side, instead of just marrying you.â
She had analyzed it thoroughly and rationally.
They had not seen each other for five years and Eudora was no longer the innocent and stubborn woman she used to be. She had become tough, smart and composed.
However, he did not take the ring back. Instead, he grabbed her hand and put it on her ring finger.
It had been five years but the ring was still a perfect match for her. Amos was very happy about it!
He lowered his head and kissed her finger and said, âIâll wait for you to consider it, but the title of Mrs. Granger will always belong to you! Youâll always be the only one in my heart.â
Eudora smiled and said, âOkay!â
However, things did not go as she had planned. Eudora thought that she could take some time to think about it slowly and carefully but the Granger family was not planning to give her any time at all.
The next afternoon, Eudora noticed that Juju was missing again when she went to pick her up.
Eudora was traumatized because of the previous kidnapping incident and she nearly collapsed when she noticed that Juju was missing again.
Fortunately, Amos called in time and told her that Juju had been taken to the Granger family.
There was no time for Eudora to think about it and she immediately hurried over to the Granger mansion.
However, the servant at the door did not let Eudora in when she arrived.
The servant said, âIâm sorry, Miss. We canât let any unrelated people in without our masterâs order.â
Eudora gritted her teeth and said, âI am Jujuâs mother. You robbed me of my child and dare say that Iâm unrelated? Moreover, I have never said that Juju is a child from the Granger family.â
As they were quarreling, Harry came out and said, âWhatâs with the noise? Whatâs the use of having you servants? If someone is causing trouble outside, why donât you just kick them out?â
Upon receiving the order, the men hurried over and tried to beat Eudora up. However, Amos shielded Eudora behind him just in time.
âStop! How dare you!â
Amos did not often appear in the Granger family house but all the servants were afraid of him because of his cold and indifferent attitude.
The servants subconsciously took a few steps back after noticing that he was angry. âItâs the Second Masterâ¦â
Harry glared at them and walked over with a smile. âAmos! That was not what I said but itâs my brotherâs intentions. He mentioned that the children of the Granger family must be sent back but those people who are unworthy of mentioning should just stay out!â
Amos snorted and said, âIt seems that youâll be disappointed because Eudora and I have decided to get married!â
