Chapter 417: Chapter 417 Little Wimp

The driver was startled by Amos’ sudden tense voice. He was a little hesitant to speak.

“He’s… Miss Juju’s classmate. The Little Master from the Granger family, Vincent.”

Vincent?

Amos wrinkled his brows. Didn’t Juju dislike Vincent in the past? Why was she hanging out with him then?

However, that child had always been a wimpy kid. Therefore, Amos did not put much thought into it.

He turned back to Harley, pursed his lips, and said, “Alright, you should head back now. We are probably just overthinking this!”

Harley was relieved. He thanked the Heavens that nothing unfortunate had happened.

…

In Clearwater Bay.

Eudora slept for a long time, and she could hear the sound of shots being fired in the yard below while she was still in a daze. She opened her eyes and slowly got up.

The room was empty, and Amos was not in the room.

Eudora walked to the window and took a look. Juju and a little boy were in the yard. Eudora looked at him for a moment but she couldn’t seem to remember who he was.

She was not that curious either.

In fact, all she wanted to do then was to practice shooting as well! However, Amos wasn’t there.

Eudora wondered for a moment and suddenly thought that she was being silly.

Wasn’t it better since Amos wasn’t there? That way, she could at least go downstairs and have some fun. Even if Amos were to come back later, he wouldn’t be able to do much about it.

Perhaps she had already become accustomed to Amos’ constant presence. It was astonishing how she was so used to being bossed around by Amos. She even felt a little uneasy without him around.

At that thought, Eudora opened the door promptly and made her way downstairs. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Charlie and Wesley following closely behind her. Eudora was confused for a moment, “What’s wrong? Aren’t you two normally in the garden at this hour? Why are you following me today?”

“Mr. Granger instructed us to keep you guarded at all times before he left the house.”

Eudora chuckled, “Why do I need your protection when I’m at home? Let’s head downstairs and practice shooting together.”

Charlie felt helpless.

“Sorry, Madam. I’m afraid that Mr. Granger will not allow it!” Charlie said.

Eudora frowned, “Wouldn’t it be fine if you just conceal this matter from him? Besides, I go down there every afternoon to practice shooting. Why can’t I do the same on my own just because Amos isn’t here today?”

Charlie was still worried, “Madam, it’s best if you wait for Mr. Granger to return!”

Eudora sighed. This person in front of her was even stricter than Amos was!

With a twinkle in her eye, Eudora quickly covered her stomach, “My stomach hurts!”

Charlie and Wesley were stunned, “Madam, are you alright? I’ll call the doctor right away.”

“There’s no use. It’s all because of the two of you! If you want me to get better, let’s go down there and practice shooting then.”

After that, she ran downstairs without even waiting for their approval. Charlie and Wesley had no choice but to follow her.

Juju was practicing shooting with Vincent in the garden. Vincent looked very timid, and when he saw Juju shooting, he whispered.

“Why are you so good at it?”

Juju snorted, “That’s because you are too timid. You are a boy. How could you still be bullied by the girls in the class? I couldn’t even bear to look at it. I wouldn’t have helped you if you weren’t my cousin!”

Vincent lowered his head, “Do you hate me?”

He was a reserved, timid, and pitiful child. It was probably because he had wandered homelessly with his mother since he was an infant.

Juju had always had a bold temperament and she was the most compassionate to the weak. When she saw him like this, she also softened her voice.

“Forget about it. I didn’t say that I hate you. Come over here. I’ll teach you how to shoot. When you are good at it, no one will bully you anymore!”

Vincent nodded and said, “Okay!”

He then went over and stood with Juju. The two little kids gestured one after the other.

Eudora looked at them and suppressed the urge to laugh. This little girl of hers might grow up to be a leader, just like her father.

At this moment, Juju suddenly said, “Quick, pull the trigger!”

There was a loud thud on the ground. Vincent couldn’t hold the gun steadily, and the gunstock accidentally hit Juju’s arm.

Juju hissed in pain, and Eudora hurriedly rushed over in a panic, hugging Juju.

“How are you? Are you okay?”

Juju’s wrist had already turned red. However, she still acted as though she was completely unperturbed, “It’s fine. It’s just a small injury. I’ll be fine in no time.”

It was uncommon for a child that young to speak in such a way. Charlie and Wesley, who were standing behind them, were both impressed with Juju’s demeanor.

Eudora soon checked on Vincent, “What about you? Are you alright?”

Vincent’s wrist was also red, just like Juju’s. Eudora shouted, “You two, get the first aid kit and fetch some water. I’ll help the two children disinfect and apply some ointment.”

Charlie and Wesley didn’t think much and immediately went to get what Eudora needed.

After the men left, Juju’s face was full of pride, “Mom, I’m really fine. I don’t need any ointment. But, if you must, you could just apply it on this little wimp. He’s a wimp. He didn’t even dare to fight back when the girls in his class bullied him!”

Eudora frowned, “Juju, you have to be more considerate with your words.”

Juju stuck her tongue out. Vincent stared at Juju with caution and said, “I will become brave one day and I’ll be able to protect you in the future.”

Juju laughed hysterically as if she had heard a humorous joke.

“I don’t need you to protect me. I can fend for myself and I still have to protect my Mommy!”

Then, she picked up the gun on her own, turned around, and went back to the target. A few shots were then fired, all of which hit the target. It was cool as hell.

Vincent looked at Juju’s small figure and was stunned for a moment.

Eudora noticed his silence and said hurriedly, “What are you looking at? Does your hand still hurt? I’m sorry, Juju can be a little blunt sometimes. Please don’t take it to heart.”

After all, Vincent was a few years older than Juju. He was also a very sensitive kid. Eudora didn’t want Juju to provoke others.

Vincent stared blankly at Eudora before landing his gaze on Eudora’s belly.

Eudora’s belly was already starting to show. At this moment, she looked extremely motherly and gentle. Noticing that Vincent was looking at her, Eudora quickly smiled, “What’s wrong?”

“Auntie Eudora, do you have a baby in your belly?”

Eudora was astonished, “How did you know?”

Vincent’s face was full of innocence as he thought about what the man had whispered in his ear.

“Auntie Eudora, you’re so thin, yet your belly is so big. You must be at least four months pregnant, right? That’s great, I’m going to have a little cousin soon!”

Eudora frowned. Four months? Wasn’t she only three months pregnant?

“You guessed it wrong! It has only been three months.”

Vincent didn’t say anything else. Juju was already getting impatient over there, “Little wimp, I’m not teaching you anymore if you don’t come over now!”

Vincent ran over quickly. Eudora recalled that she hadn’t applied the ointment yet. Hence, she tried to pull him back. Instead, she accidentally pulled something out of his pocket.

Vincent didn’t seem to notice it and he smiled instead, “Auntie Eudora, I am as brave as Juju. I don’t need the ointment.”

Eudora chuckled while she bent down to pick something up from the ground. She realized that it was a photo. She was going to return the photo to Vincent when she noticed her name on it. She then took a look at it.
