Chapter 800: Chapter 800 Kind to Him

When Eudora entered the garden, she saw Leslie sitting on the bench, his back straight.

In front of him, Juju was practicing shooting. Juju had already been interested in it and had the basics down in the first place, so she was quite decent at it.

However, such brutal training would really be tiring.

Eudora stepped forward subconsciously, but Raymond reached out to stop her.

“Miss George, as Mr. Clarke has said, you’re allowed to have a look. You are not allowed to interfere.”

Eudora gritted her teeth and endured it. Then, she heard Leslie say, “That’s all for today. Come here and read a book!”

Only then did Eudora let out a sigh of relief and slowly calm down.

Soon after, Juju’s voice could be heard reading throughout the garden. However, she was actually reading a business strategizing book?

At home, Eudora would let her read comic books. Unexpectedly, Leslie was making her read a book like that right after she had arrived.

Eudora frowned. That book’s vocabulary was tough even for an adult. How could a child understand it?

She was only reading it without understanding the meaning behind the words. That would only make it harder for Juju.

She really could not hold it in any longer. Eudora pushed Raymond away and quickly stepped forward.

“Juju.”

Hearing that, Juju suddenly raised her head with a sparkle in her eyes.

With a sparkle in her eyes, she said, “Mom.”

“Juju!” Eudora stretched her hand out, “Come here. Come to Mom.”

Juju was about to get up However, Leslie, who was sitting next to her, spoke. “You have to focus on the task at hand to get the best results.”

Juju, who was already about to stand up, did not move after hearing that. Instead, she continued reading the book.

“Mom, I’m fine here. Don’t worry. Hurry up and go home. Sugar Bun will miss you while he’s home!”

Eudora shook her head, “No, Juju. You have to go back with me too!”

“I won’t go back!” Juju said firmly, “I’ve made up my mind to train myself under Master Clarke.”

“You’re still young. What training could you possibly have? Be a good girl and go home with me. I’ll spend more time at home with you and Sugar Bun!”

Juju’s fingers froze slightly. Her fingers that were holding the book turned white.

How could a child resist a mother’s calling? However, she had no other choice.

Lately, she had watched Eudora work hard every day. Not only did she have to take care of Sugar Bun and herself, her mother had to take care of the company’s affairs.

She had tried her best to lighten Eudora’s burden, but she was just a young child, so she could not help out much.

Yesterday, when Eudora returned home, she had been in low spirits. Later, when Juju asked Uncle Charlie what had happened, she found out that Master Clarke wanted her to train under him.

Juju did not want to put her mother in a difficult position. Another reason was that she willingly wanted to undergo the training so she could protect Eudora and Sugar Bun.

She was eager to become stronger so that she could fulfill her father’s wishes and take good care of her mother and brother. That way, they would not be bullied anymore.

It would be just like when her father had still been alive.

Thinking of that, Juju shook her head again.

“Mom, don’t worry about me. I want to do this! I want to be stronger so that I won’t be bullied when I grow up!”

Eudora could not believe her at all. Juju was thinking too much.

“If you want to become stronger, then when you come home, I can ask Uncle Charlie to teach you how! Uncle Charlie is also a good fighter. If you want to study that book, I can ask Uncle Clint to teach you. If you want to practice your shooting, Uncle Harley can teach you that…”

“I don’t want to hear all of that!” Juju gritted her teeth and interrupted Eudora’s words, “I don’t want to learn from them, okay?”

Eudora was stunned and looked at Juju in surprise.

“Juju…”

“Stop talking!” Juju covered her ears. “I’m not a little kid anymore. Can’t I decide my own path? If Dad was here, he would definitely respect my choices! You’re an irresponsible mother. You should go back and raise Sugar Bun. Otherwise, in the future, he’ll grow to hate you just like I do!”

Eudora felt like she had been struck by lightning.

“Juju, why would you think so?”

“Why wouldn’t I? Since Sugar Bun was born, you’ve put all your attention on him. Have you ever cared about me? Only Dad cared about me. Dad left, so the only person who had cared about me is now gone! Why can’t I choose my own path? You will hand Valiant East over to Sugar Bun in the future. Grandpa will leave Tyly Company to him too. I’ll get nothing, so can’t I fight for something for myself?”

Eudora was dumbstruck. She could not have imagined that this was spoken by a child who was only a few years old.

She had indeed been more mature than her peers, but if that was the case…

Eudora opened her mouth and said, “Please listen to my explanation.”

“I don’t want to hear anything from you. I don’t want to see you anymore either. If you leave now, you’ll still be Mom to me. Otherwise, don’t blame me if I…”

Eudora’s heart skipped a beat, “I’ll go. I’ll leave immediately.”

After taking a few steps, she felt a lump in her throat. She looked back at Juju and said, “You must listen to Master Clarke here. If you don’t get used to it, call home immediately. No matter if it’ll be raining thunder or snowing, call me. I’ll never turn off my phone from now on…”

Juju clenched her fists, lowered her head, and did not say a word.

Eudora saw that she really did not want to listen to her anymore, so she said again, “Juju, no matter what happens, I hope you can remember what I say. Mom loves you very much, as much as I love Sugar Bun.”

After that, she really walked away.

Leslie sighed and said, “You’re only eight years old, yet you’re already speaking against your heart. Do you really think that way? Do you know how sad your Mom is?”

Juju’s chest twinged with pain. Eudora’s words before she had left echoed in her mind.

“Mom loves you very much, as much as I love Sugar Bun.”

“Mom!” She suddenly ran in the direction that Eudora had left.

Raymond reached out to stop her, but Leslie shook his head and said, “Let her go!”

Juju ran out and happened to see Eudora’s car drive away. She chased after the car for a few steps before kneeling on the ground and crying.

“I’m sorry, Mom. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I love you very much too. I love Sugar Bun, and I love Dad. However, Dad will never come back.”

“Mom, I’ll take good care of myself. When I become stronger in the future, I’ll be able to protect you and Sugar Bun.”

Behind her, Leslie was chasing after her.

He sighed, “Although Amos has died, the heavens were kind enough to give him such a good daughter. With her around, the Granger family will have a great successor. They’ll still be able to dominate Rosaville City in the future, perhaps even the whole country.”
