Chapter 834: Chapter 834 Searching

Cindy stared at Sawyer intently. Amos and him clearly looked like two different people, but why did Sawyer’s instinctual actions remind her of the other?

Sawyer had already carried Sugar Bun with both arms just as she was thinking about that.

“Little master, don’t call just anyone ‘Dad’. I’m not your father!”

Cindy snapped out of her daze and quickly went forwards to take Sugar Bun back from Sawyer.

“I’m sorry!”

Sawyer shook his head and walked towards Sugar Bun as he bid farewell in a solemn manner.

“Sugar Bun, thank you for liking me. I’m very happy with that, but people eventually have to part ways. Even when we’ve parted ways, it doesn’t mean we won’t meet again! As long as you grow up well, we might have a chance to meet again in the future!”

Cindy stood there awkwardly and listened to the conversation between Sawyer and Sugar Bun. She felt utterly helpless! Sugar Bun was still a young child, so how could he understand anything Sawyer said?

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Sugar Bun, who had been trying to break free from her embrace to play with Sawyer, suddenly quieted down.

He just stared blankly at Sawyer as if he was saying goodbye to an old friend.

Cindy was shocked, “Little master, you’re…”

Sawyer no longer said anything. Waving his hand at Sugar Bun, he turned around and left the residence.

Once Sawyer’s figure had left the doorway, Cindy turned around and noticed that Sugar Bun was pouting, eyes bloodshot.

Cindy quickly hugged him and said, “Don’t cry, Little master! You want to play with blocks, don’t you? I’ll play them with you! I’ll play with you when we get home!”

…

As Eudora was in a daze, her phone started ringing.

Eudora answered the call, only to hear Harley’s anxious voice.

He said, “Eudora, are you at home?”

“Yes,” Eudora replied. “I’m home. What’s wrong?”

“Do you have time now? Thea wants to meet you.”

“Oh, okay! I’ll head over there now!” said Eudora while nodding.

“Ask your driver to bring you here then!”

At the mention of Sawyer, Eudora paused for a moment.

She continued, “There’s no need for that. I’ll drive there on my own. Sawyer is no longer working for me!”

“What?” Harley shouted in shock. “Eudora, why did you let him go?”

Upon hearing Harley shouting at her, Eudora was taken aback.

“What’s wrong? He left because he has his own life to live! It’s his own choice…”

“But…” Harley felt anxious and was about to say something, but he eventually chose to remain silent.

“Do you know where he has gone?”

Eudora shook her head as she answered, “I really have no clue about that.”

“Alas!” Harley sighed and continued, “I just recalled that Thea wants to go to the amusement park. You don’t have to come over today! We’re going out soon. I’ll hang up now!”

After that, Harley ended the call.

Eudora looked at her phone in confusion.

What was Harley up to?

As she had already woken up, Eudora could not fall back asleep. Thus, she chose to get up from her bed.

After washing up, she went downstairs. The living room was quiet, which felt strange to her. Usually, whenever Sugar Bun was awake, it would not be so quiet.

Even if Sugar Bun was playing with the blocks on his own, he would still have a lot of fun.

She thought they had gone to the yard, but when she went downstairs, she found Cindy and Sugar Bun sitting at the play area.

Somehow, the atmosphere felt a bit different.

Usually, Sugar Bun would be enjoying playing with his toys alone, and Cindy would only keep an eye on him from the side. However, the scene was currently different. Cindy was the one playing with the toys while Sugar Bun had his back facing Cindy. Looking at him, Eudora sensed that Sugar Bun was upset.

However, why was Sugar Bun angry?

Eudora asked suspiciously, “What’s going on?”

Upon hearing her voice, Cindy became so aggravated until she was close to tears.

“Madam, you’ve finally woken up. Look at Little master! He has been like this for these past few hours. He doesn’t want to play with his toys and is ignoring me too. I’ve tried every single trick in the book! I’ve finally realized that raising children is not an easy job.”

Eudora comforted softly, “It’s okay. I’ll see what’s going on with him.”

After saying so, she walked over to Sugar Bun, bent down and reached her arms out to him.

“Sugar Bun, what’s wrong? Why don’t I give you a hug, hmm?”

Ever since they grew closer after getting abducted together, Sugar Bun had never rejected this request of hers.

In the past, no matter the timing, as long as Eudora took the initiative, he would give in to her hugs even if he was reluctant to do so.

On this day, it was the first time that he had ignored her.

Now, Eudora really did grow a little anxious.

She tried her best to comfort him, but her efforts were not successful at all.

Sugar Bun was just sitting there, sulking with his head down. No one knew what was going through his mind!

Eudora quickly turned to look at Cindy, “What happened? Did something happen while I was taking a nap?”

Cindy hesitated for a moment because she did not mention the incident. Eudora disliked it when Sugar Bun kept looking for Sawyer and calling him ‘Dad’.

However, now was not the time to hide the truth. Cindy told Eudora everything that had happened in the afternoon.

“Little master really did take Sawyer’s words to heart. At first, he wanted to chase after him. Then, Sawyer talked to him and he listened. However, after seeing him off, he became unhappy and he’s even ignoring me now. He doesn’t even want to play anymore! What should I do?”

Sawyer’s parting words that Cindy had told her about, echoed in Eudora’s mind.

“People eventually have to part ways! As long as you grow up well, we might have a chance to meet again in the future!” was what he had said.

Why did his words sound so similar to what Amos used to say in the past? There was a strong sense of familiarity in them!

Eudora faintly felt a little uneasy. Had she missed out on something all this while?

Thinking of that, she got up in a hurry.

“Cindy, have you gotten someone to clean up Sawyer’s room after he left?”

Cindy shook her head and said, “Not yet! I’ve been accompanying Little master all afternoon. What’s wrong? Do you have any other arrangements already? I’ll clean his room up immediately.”

“It’s not that. Take care of Sugar Bun for a while longer. I’ll go and take a look at his room.”

Before Cindy could speak, Eudora had already gotten up to trot towards the backyard.

She felt an urge to verify something for herself! However, she was having a dilemma whether to actually do so or not.

In the midst of her inner conflict, Eudora had already reached the door to Sawyer’s room.

The door had not been closed. She reached out to push the door open and slowly walked in.

Although the room had not been cleaned, it looked tidy. Nonetheless, there were still traces proving someone had lived in it before.

Eudora walked to the closet that was beside the bed and started rummaging through it.

She had no idea what she was looking for. Somehow, she just felt like she had to search for something.
