Did he get close to her not entirely because he liked the character but because he liked her too?
He had always rejected her before this. Was it just because he was not willing to forgive her?
Eudora hugged Sugar Bun tightly again.
She started to feel powerful as she believed that her son had begun to accept her.
She began to listen carefully to the movement outside. She had to find a way to convince those two people to let their guard down so that she could take the opportunity to escape.
At this moment, she could hear the two people outside beginning to argue again.
Baldrick was still furious at Mark because of the events that transpired earlier that morning. He was about to go on a fit of rage.
âWhat do you mean by that? Donât you dare think that youâre the boss just because Iâve always listened to you! I just donât want to argue with you. Donât you dare think that you could order me around! I donât care. Do whatever you want!â
Markâs voice was very low and Eudora couldnât hear what he said.
However, Baldrick became more and more agitated.
âWell, letâs see which one of us would be screwed first then!â
Then, she heard footsteps of someone leaving.
A great opportunity!
Eudoraâs eyes lit up. She picked up Sugar Bun and walked out.
She did not leave the cave. She just stood at the entrance and looked at Baldrick with a calm and composed look.
Baldrick was visibly angry, and when he saw the gloating look in Eudoraâs eyes, he was even more annoyed.
âWhat are you looking at?â
Eudora smirked, âYou keep saying that youâre not afraid of him but you are still under his control, arenât you?â
âBullsh*t!â Baldrick spat.
âI just donât want to quarrel with him! Itâs none of your business.â
âOf course, itâs none of my business! Iâm bored and I canât run away anyway. Canât I just watch the fun?â
Eudora deliberately blinked her eyes and looked at him.
âHey, if the two of you were to fight, who do you think will win?â
Eudora deliberately asked this question, somewhat to provoke the primitive instinct in Baldrick. After all, aggressive men would always feel the urge to impress, especially since Eudora was an attractive woman.
Sure enough, Baldrick raised his chin and said, âOf course Iâm better!â
âI donât believe it!â Eudora shook her head, âIf you really are stronger than him, why are you still being pinned down by him then?â
Baldrick snorted and immediately glared at Eudora.
âDo you think that Iâm a fool? You b*tch. I know youâre doing this for a reason!â
Eudoraâs heart skipped a beat. She didnât expect this man to be able to read her mind.
She was panicking, but she still tried her best to remain calm on the surface. She could not let him figure out her intentions of escaping.
With a smile, Eudora said innocently.
âWhat are you talking about? You two are macho guards, and now, I am sick. What kind of intentions could I have? Forget it, since there isnât a show to watch, Iâd better take my child to sleep! Itâs so boring!â
She then straightened her back and turned around to go back inside.
She silently prayed that the man would be fooled by her. All of a sudden, Footsteps came from behind again. Eudora thought that Baldrick had caught up with her.
She subconsciously moved forward and dodged. The next second, she heard him shouting.
âMark, donât go. We have to make it clear today.â
Mark snorted, âWhat is wrong with you again?â
âWhatâs wrong with me? You are the one who has a problem! I am very sober today. I am not afraid of you, but I have tolerated you for so long for the sake of Master Thomas. You must apologize to me about what happened just now, otherwise, I will not forgive you!â
âYouâre drunk again, arenât you?â Mark said as he tried to leave.
Before he knew it, Baldrick had thrown a punch at him.
Mark was stunned for a moment as he did not expect Baldrick to attack him.
âYou must be out of your mind! Fine. I have been dissatisfied with you for a long time too. I will teach you a lesson today!â
The two started fighting, and Eudoraâs heart thumped. She ought to seize this opportunity to escape with Sugar Bun.
She whispered to Sugar Bun in a low voice.
âMommy will take you out later. Sugar Bun, you must cooperate with me, okay?â
He could not speak but his chubby little hand patted her shoulder.
As if to cheer themselves up silently, Eudora nodded and said, âOkay, then letâs go in 1, 2, 3!â
Then, Eudora held Sugar Bun tightly and quickly went to the entrance of the cave. It just so happened that the two men had already fought their ways to the other side of the cave.
At this moment, both of them were focused on defeating each other, and they did not pay any attention to Eudora at all.
This was the best opportunity.
Eudora made up her mind and ran out with her son in her arms.
The wind whistled in her ears and she started running aimlessly. She could only run forward along with the footprints.
Behind her came Markâs voice, âIdiot, she ran away!â
Baldrick still refused to let go, âIâm going to win soon!â
Mark was so furious that he kicked him away and chased after Eudora.
He shouted, âThe mountains here are extremely steep. You wonât be able to run far with the child. Your behavior would result in your death.â
Eudora didnât pay attention to him. She preferred to think positively. If she didnât try, how would she know whether they would be dead or alive?
Furthermore, Sugar Bun and she would only end up dying if they continued staying in the cave.
Eudora ran even faster and she soon reached a small river. It blocked her way.
Eudora paused. If she was alone, she would have jumped down in a heartbeat. But Sugar Bun was afraid of water.
He got injured the last time they went to the swimming pool.
Eudora stopped running and Mark slowly approached her, âIâve told you that there is nowhere else to run. Come back with me. As long as you cooperate with us well, I wonât hurt you!â
Eudora pursed her lips, âWhat are you two trying to do by abducting us?â
Mark was startled.
âI canât tell you this for the time being, but as long as you cooperate with us, we donât want to kill you either! Believe me!â
Eudora sneered in her heart, âIâll only believe that if Iâm a fool.â
How could she believe the scoundrelsâ words?
Noticing that Eudora was quiet, he took a few more steps forward and was about to grab the child. Eudora swung her arms away, but she did not dodge.
As was about to fall into the river, she could feel someone grabbing her from behind.
âBe careful, Mrs. Granger!â
