âYes! He got married recently, remember?â Eudora George said with a smile.
Amosâs face darkened. âOh!â
Eudora was taken aback and she turned to stare at the man who was seemingly upset. âWhat? Are you jealous?â
This was the first time she had seen Amos being so jealous and she was so close to bursting into laughter. What should she do?
Amos Granger spotted the woman who was laughing at him heartlessly and could not help but pinch her cheeks. âStill laughing?â
âYou are just too cute!â Eudora smiled and asked Juju, âDonât you think Daddy is cute?â
âEudora!â Amosâs face was getting grumpier, âYouâre getting bolder!â
Only then did Eudora shrivel her neck, âYou decide on the gift then, okay?â
Amosâs expression softened a little, âSince you like this, then this should be good enough.â
Eudora was happy and she pecked him on the cheek. âThank you!â
Amos reached out and rubbed his cheeks. This little woman, why was she getting so happy over another man?
Then, he ordered the staff to pack the item while Eudora went to browse the other merchandise in the store. When Eudora was out of sight, Amos called the staff and ordered them to write âFrom Amos and Eudoraâ on the gift.
The staff nodded. Amos smiled, and he met Jujuâs eyes when he looked up.
Amos coughed softly, âUncle Gellert is Mommyâs friend, and he is Daddyâs friend too. So, itâs natural for Mommy and Daddy to send the gift together!â
âOh!â Juju nodded and accepted his reasoning.
Amos took Juju and Eudora out for lunch after leaving the shop. Then, he sent them to the gates of the Granger family mansion and went back to the company by himself.
Eudora got off the car and arrived at Ruby House with her things when she saw Old Master Granger alone at the gate.
He was sitting there and no one knew what was on his mind.
Eudora and Juju exchanged looks and they slowly walked over.
âOld Masterâ¦â Eudora called.
Old Master Granger was visibly shocked. After a pause, he said, âOh, I was just passing byâ¦â
Then, Eudora ignored him and went to open the door with Juju.
Just as she was about to close the door, the old master suddenly asked again, âAre you feeling better?â
Eudora was taken aback. She noticed that the Old Master was staring at her and it was until then that she realized that he was talking to him. She nodded hurriedly and said, âOh, Iâm much better.â
âThatâs good!â After saying that, the Old Master turned to Juju and asked, âWhat about Juju?â
Juju pursed his lips and did not really want to answer the Old Master.
She clearly remembered the fear she felt that night when she watched Eudora fainting in front of her. It was impossible for her to forgive the Old Master so easily.
At the sight of this, Eudora tried to explain.
âIâm afraid that Juju doesnât want to talk too much lately.â
The Old Master was disappointed. Eudora suddenly recalled about Jujuâs schooling , âJuju hasnât gone to school for a long time because of family matters. So, I think, I should send her to school tomorrow.â
Old Master Granger said hurriedly, âItâs better not to go to that school. How could the children of the Granger family go to such a school? Moreover, at this age, we could just hire a tutor at homeâ¦â
Eudora shook her head hurriedly, âChildren of this age should go to school, not just to learn, but also to train their social skills. I think it would be better for her to go to school.â
The Old Master paused for a moment, as if he was considering whether what Eudora said was reasonable. Fortunately, he quickly nodded again, âThen letâs go to the nearby elite schoolâ¦â
Just as he was speaking, a childlike voice called behind him. The boy shouted loudly, âGrandpa!â
Hearing this, Eudora and the old man looked over together and saw that Tiffany Leon and Vincent Granger were coming back from the garden.
Vincent was holding a bunch of flowers in his hand. He took a step back timidly when he realized that Old Master Granger was staring at him.
Tiffany said hurriedly, âHurry up. Didnât you say that you are going to give the flowers to Grandpa?â
Vincent paused for a moment and slowly walked over. âGrandpa, this carnation is for you.â
The Old Master was taken aback. Perhaps he was a little unprepared from the sudden filial piety from the child? However, he soon smiled and reached out to accept the flower.
âI like it very much. However, the flowers in the garden are blossoming well there. You should not pick themâ¦â
Tiffany was taken aback and she realized that her idea did not go as planned, so she quickly tried to explain.
âVincent did not deliberately pick the flowers. The gardener trimmed it and Vincent thought it looked good, so he picked some from itâ¦â
âWellâ¦â The Old Master did not continue and he merely turned around.
âIâm tired. Iâm going back to have a rest.â
Tiffany hurriedly winked at Vincent, âWhy donât you take your Grandpa back?â
Vincent was about to go up and help but Old Master Granger had stretched his hand out to stop him. âYouâre still young. I can go by myself, so you donât have to help me. Vincent, you are old enough to go to school. You should go to school with Juju tomorrow. Donât delay the childâs educationâ¦â
The old man did not say it out loud but it was obvious that he knew Tiffany was deliberately using the child to get close to him. That was why he had said those words.
Tiffany stood rooted to the spot and her cheeks immediately burned.
After Old Master Granger left, Eudora entered and closed the door. Tiffany stared at the door that Eudora had just closed and her face gradually darkened.
â¦
In the evening, Eudora told Amos what the Old Master had said. Amos nodded and asked someone to check on the nearby kindergarten. After a while, he returned and spoke.
âThat kindergarten is not bad. If Juju likes it, we can go there too.â
Eudora nodded, âItâs not about the kindergarten. Jujuâs adaptation abilities are strong. Itâs just that, I donât think Tiffany is as simple as she looks!â
Amos frowned, âI see. Iâll ask someone to keep an eye on her.â
While the three of them were eating dinner, Amos said, âI told Auntie Valerie that she could come here to help out from tomorrow onward. Do you need another cleaner?â
Eudora shook her head, âNo. Itâs just the three of us, so we donât need so many people around. Auntie Valerie will do!â
Amos thought so too, so he nodded, âThe fewer the better so that we would have less trouble in the house.â
After the matter was settled, Eudora did the dishes.
Juju was still mad at Amos over the past two days, so Eudora deliberately gave them some time to get along with each other.
Eudora heard the laughter of the father and daughter coming from upstairs while she was doing the dishes and the corner of her lips curled into a smile.
The next day, Juju started to go to school.
When Eudora went to the main building with Juju, Tiffany and Vincent had already gotten ready. Bethany Hamilton and the Old Master had smiles on their faces. It was clear that they were very happy that there were two children in the family.
