No matter how clever a child was, no one could win against a sly fox like Amos!
After Amos finished speaking, Juju immediately ran back happily and opened the wardrobe, âMom, Dad is here to take us home!â
Eudora felt awkward and nervous at the same time.
Her daughter was good in everything, but she could never resist her fatherâs tricks Just as she was thinking about that, a tall figure had already entered with Juju. The manâs tall figure casted a shadow in front of Eudora, blocking her.
Eudora stared at Amos guiltily.
With a smile on her face, Eudora quickly said, âI can explain. Iâ¦â
The next second, the man had already reached out and took her into his arms, âDo you know that I was scared to death? Itâs currently so dangerous outside. What if something happened to you? What should I do then?â
Eudora was dumbfounded.
The worry and fear in her heart all disappeared because of his embrace and deep voice.
Eudora hugged Amos apologetically and said, âIâm sorry that Iâve made you worry!â
Harley, who was following behind and watching them, laughed out loud.
He was unexpectedly blinded by their display of affection. It was too much for him!
Thea heard the noise and came out of the room, âIâve prepared the room. What do you guys want to eat? Iâll prepare them!â
âIâll help it!â Eudora said, âWhat do you want to eat? Iâll cook, and weâll go back after dinner.â
Thea was a little disappointed, âArenât you staying here?â
âIâm sorry, Iâ¦â Eudora knew that Thea loved Juju from the bottom of her heart, and she really wanted them to stay, butâ¦
While watching Eudora scratch her head and think of an explanation, Harley cleverly walked over and took Theaâs hand.
âIf they all stayed here, it would be very tough for you. I donât want you to suffer, so it would be better to let them go back! Itâs good for only the three of us to stay together!â
Thea looked at Harley with passionate eyes, turned her head and looked at Eudora in embarrassment.
Eudora immediately nodded and said, âYes, Harley is right.â
Achieving such a pleasant decision, Eudora went to cook. The two families ate dinner together before they got up to leave.
The two children had a busy night, and they fell asleep as soon as they got in the car.
After Eudora coaxed the two children to sleep, she leaned against the passenger seat and sighed with gratification.
âHubby, actually, Tina and Christopher are really miserable. One of them grew up in an orphanage and was finally adopted by my father. However, she hasnât enjoyed familial affection from my father, has she? As for Christopher, although he is a child of the Gellert family, his father doesnât love him, and he has been bullied by his elder brother. Shouldnât they be the most favored couple of the heavens?â
She had thought that the heavens would give them a good future after they came together by accident. She didnât expect them to be like this!
Eudora sighed and realized that the atmosphere in the car was not quite right.
She had been talking a lot. Why hadnât Amos said anything?
As soon as she turned her head, she saw that Amosâs facial expression did not seem quite right.
âAmos, y-youâre not angry, are you? Did you try to trick me into coming back?â
Amos shook his head, âNo.â
Eudora breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, they happened to reach home, so she took the children back to their rooms.
As soon as she came out of the room, she saw Amos standing at the door and looking at her with fiery eyes.
Eudora could not help but feel that Amos had something to say.
âYouâre still denying that youâre angry? If you keep on being like this, Iâll ignore you!â
Amos grabbed her hand and said, âIâm not angry! But that doesnât mean that I donât have the determination to prove something to you.â
âProve what?â Eudora was suspicious.
âMy ability!â
Eudora was puzzled.
While she was being carried to their room, Eudora suddenly realized what Amos was talking about.
She gritted her teeth and pinched Amos hard, âAmos, I donât believe you! I didnât know you had been in a meeting. If you want to prove yourself so badly, you should prove yourself to those who have misunderstood you!â
âWhat?â Amos said coldly.
Eudora stayed silent.
She could not say anything more. She had already been thrown on the bed and got eaten thoroughly!
â¦.
The next day, when Eudora woke up, it was already late in the day. Eudora rubbed her aching waist and felt a surge of resentment in her heart.
Someone knocked on the door, and Cindy shouted from outside.
âMrs. Granger, Miss Holt is here!â
Tina!
Eudora struggled to get up and changed her clothes.
In the living room, Amos was playing with his two children. Tina and Christopher were looking at them with eager and envious eyes.
Eudora had originally felt a bit resentful towards Tina, but now that she saw the scene in front of her, she could not bring herself to feel that way anymore.
âYou guys are here?â
Eudora was surprised at their arrival.
Tina immediately stood up. âEudora, itâs not too peaceful at home recently. Can Christopher and I stay at your house for a few days?â
Upon hearing this, Christopher frowned slightly and said, âDidnât you say that weâre here to visit only?â
Tina immediately changed her tone. âYes, we are here to visit. Itâs just that weâll have to stay for a little longer! After all, you and Anthony havenât been on good terms lately. Itâs pointless to keep on making a fuss. Canât we just stay for a few daysâ¦â
Eudora naturally didnât have any objections, âWe have enough space. You can stay as you wish.â
âAlright. We wonât bother you, and weâll stay in the guest room on the first floor. Amos, do you have any problem with that?â
Amos shook his head. Seeing Eudora stand up, he got up and took his coat. âI still have something to do in the company. Iâll head out first.â
Eudora nodded and watched Amos go out.
Actually, she also had something to attend to at the company. She had already woken up very late in the morning. However, Tina and Christopher had come, so she needed to stay at home to make arrangements for them.
Just as she was thinking about that, Tina spoke again.
âEudora, if you have something to do, go and do it. Leave the house to me. Iâm not an outsider. Iâll take care of the children for you!â
As she spoke, she kept winking at Eudora.
Eudora understood. It turned out that visiting her home was just an excuse. The main objective was to take Christopher to her home and have fun with her children.
Tina had listened to the doctorâs words and wanted to use the so-called psychological treatment to make Christopher like children and thus make him willing to have one.
Those who did not know the truth would probably feel that nothing was amiss. After all, it was fine to try anything.
However, Eudora knew everything. When she saw Christopher acting like that, she did not feel too good about it.
While Tina was looking for something, Eudora reached out and patted Christopher on the shoulder.
âIf youâre really sad, why donât you tell her the truth? Sheâs actually much stronger than you think.â
Christopher shook his head and said, âForget it! She might be very strong when it comes to other things. But I know her well. Donât worry. I can still bear it! Let her be!â
