This was Tyly Companyâs first business since their opening.
It was extremely important to Eudora, âWhat did they say?â
Leslie smiled and said, âThey didnât say much. Just that, they are fond of our proposal. Knowing that you used to be prolific in the business construction industry, they were very satisfied. They asked for a meetup at the company tomorrow to talk about the details of the collaboration.â
Eudora nodded, âAlright! Make an appointment with them then. Iâll definitely be there on time.â
After hanging up the phone, Eudora couldnât help but to jump up a little. It was a great start! As they said, the beginning was the most difficult part. However, her company seemed to progress well.
In the evening, Eudora was in a good mood thus she took the initiative to cook dinner for the family. The family of four sat around the table and enjoyed a good meal.
After the meal, just as Eudora was going to wash the dishes, she heard Sugar Bun calling out for her.
âMommyâ¦â a voice called out.
Eudora put down the bowl immediately and said, âComing!â
When she came back to the dining room, the bowls on the table had disappeared. Eudora was perplexed as she had given Cindy and the others a day off for her family to have some time together.
Eudora hurriedly went into the kitchen. Then, she saw that Amos was wearing an apron, washing the dishes. The sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up, revealing half of his honey-colored arm.
Just by looking at his back, she already felt secure.
A thought flashed through Eudoraâs mind. She walked over, putting her arms around his waist to hug him from behind.
âHoney, thank you for your hard work!â she thanked him.
Amos quirked up the corners of his mouth and said, âSo, you do have some conscience!â
Then, with a finger full of foam, he pointed to his lips and motioned for Eudora to kiss him.
Eudora tiptoed. As she was about to kiss his lips, the voice of Sugar Bun rang from outside.
âMommy!â
Eudora stopped in her tracks, âIâll go take a look firstâ¦â
A kiss slipped through his fingers just like that?!
Amos was flabbergasted.
When Eudora returned, it was already the sleeping time for Sugar Bun and Juju. She sat on the sofa in exhaustion and took a deep breath.
âItâs finally quiet for a while!â
Compared to the naughty Sugar Bun, Juju really was an angel when she was little. Only then did Eudora understand the pain and joy of being a full-time mother.
A big hand gently pinched her shoulders, massaging her for a few times.
Eudora couldnât help but to sigh, âThere, there, right there! Wow, thatâs so comfortable! If you were a masseur, you would have been very famous!â
Amos quirked his lips and said, âIâll be your masseur from now on, okay?â
Eudora was mystified, âAlright! Iâll hire you to be my personal masseur with a high price!â After all, she was already working hard to earn money.
âLetâs put the reward aside first!â Amos pointed to his lips again and said, âItâs better to continue with the act of appreciation that was not completed just now.â
Eudora was dumbfounded.
He made her sound like a hooligan who only knew how to deceive him with empty promises.
He reached forward and planted a kiss on her lips. It was not easy to obtain such a sweet time for themselves, Amos would never let go of that chance.
He put his arms around her waist and was about to press her down on the sofa, then Sugar Bun called out again from upstairs.
âMom!â
Eudora sprang up from the couch like a spring.
âSugar Bun!â
Amos was speechless again.
He felt that Sugar Bun had done it on purpose. He was so young, yet he was trying to trick his father. It seemed to Amos that Sugar Bun needed to be taught a lesson!
After fussing for half a night, Sugar Bun finally fell asleep.
Eudora was also lying on the bed, too exhausted to move. Seeing her tired expression, Amos got up and fetched some water to help her wiping her face. He then carried her to take a simple bath before bringing her back to sleep again.
Eudora overslept the next day.
When she got up, it was already past nine oâclock in the morning. Remembering the meeting later in the day, she got up from bed with a shout and hurried to wash up.
When she came out, she remembered that Cindy had not been back yet, so she hurriedly called Cindy. However, Cindy did not pick up.
Eudora was so anxious that she stumbled over the door frame.
Fortunately, Amos had been walking by and went to help her up.
âTake it slow! Breakfast is ready downstairs. Your meeting is at one oâclock in the afternoon, so thereâs still time. Youâll still manage to have the time to make some preparations after having breakfast!â
Eudora looked at Amos in shock, âHow did you know?â
âYour secretary called this morning. I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didnât wake you up. Donât worry, itâs not too late yet!â
Eudora nodded, yet suddenly shouted again.
âNo, Cindy hasnât come back yet.â
âDonât worry. Didnât I say that Iâve arranged everything? You can deal with your business at ease later. Iâll take care of the children.â
âDonât you have to go to work?â Eudora asked She had started recently working in the same building as Amos. Only then did she know that Amos was incredibly busy every day. He even had more things to deal with than her.
That was why she asked him that question.
âIt doesnât matter. Iâll call Clint to help me in dealing with my matters. Just go and deal with your own business!â
Eudora felt a little guilt in her heart, âIâm sorry.â
Though she often mentioned working hard, she realized that her efforts were actually built on Amosâ tolerance.
He accepted all her shortcomings without saying a word.
It made her think that she was exemplary, but in fact, it was just because he didnât want to make a fuss with her.
âYou fool!â Amos rubbed the top of her head and said, âGo! Come back home early.â
âHmm,â Eudora replied, âIâll come back earlier and cook for all of you!â
â¦
Once Wesleyâs condition got better, he came back to report for duty.
Juju ran over happily, âUncle Wesley, so you can go shooting with me again?â
Wesley nodded faintly, âSure!â
âThen, letâs go quickly!â Juju said with a smile.
Wesley looked at Amos and said, âSir, if youâre very busy, you can hand Sugar Bun over to me!â
Amos shook his head, âIt doesnât matter. Iâm not busy!â
Wesley couldnât help but to break out in a cold sweat. He sensed that Amos looked a little terrifying that day, After Wesley left, Amos reached out and picked Sugar Bun up. In fact, the reason for him to stay at home was to negotiate a matter with his son.
However, his son was still young, so he did not seem to understand what Amos had told him.
However, Mr. Granger was not an ordinary person. Naturally, he had thought of a more suitable way to educate children, which was by showing pictures!
Putting him on the baby chair, Amos took out a wedding photo of him and Eudora.
âDo you see this clearly? Who is this person?â
When Amos pointed at himself on the photo, Sugar Bun didnât utter a word. His eyes, however, were fixed on Eudora. âMommyâ¦â
Amos was dumbstruck.
âThatâs my wife! Sheâs my wife, do you understand?â
