The kiss shocked Amos greatly.
The warm lips he felt made him realize that he was not dreaming at that moment.
Howeverâ¦
The next second, Amos pushed Eudora away.
âArenât you a-afraid of me?â
âWhy would I be afraid of you?â Eudora shook her head. âYou are my husband! When I was in danger, when I was in a mess, and at a loss for what to do, youâve always been by my side! For me, youâre willing to do anything. Youâve made compromises multiple times. In your heart, am I someone who will only be with you when you are at your best, but not at your worst?â
Eudora picked up Sugar Bun after a short pause.
âWe are a family. We will not give up on anyone for whatever reason, even more when youâre a family member!â
Sugar Bun did not seem to be scared at all. Instead, he reached out to Amos with a smile, âDadâ¦â
Amos was flustered and rooted to the spot. He was extremely shocked.
Although he was an adult man, he almost broke down instantly when he first discovered that he had become like this.
Not only him, but even when Doctor Leon had first seen him, his eyes had been full of pity! Amos knew what was going through his head.
He had lived all his life under the spotlight as the president of Valiant East. Now that he was excluded from it, it was indeed pitiful!
Even after that, he returned to Rosaville City.
Elaine had said that she liked him wholeheartedly, but she had hesitated after seeing the scars on his face. Even Harley had been shocked upon seeing him.
Amos forced a bitter smile on his face. He had thought that no one in the world could look him in the eye. Unexpectedly, the delicate woman and little child in front of him could do it calmly.
Amos even suspected that his face had gotten better in an instant.
That was until he started to hear the discussion within the surrounding crowds.
Amos frowned as he was about to say something. Then, Eudora turned her head and looked around.
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? What does my husband have to do with you? We have a happy family so you all donât have to worry about us!â
The surrounding onlookers were taken aback by Eudoraâs words for a moment.
In the end, Harley went forward to threaten them, saying, âYou can be convicted of slander from what youâre saying. If you want to try going through that, then you can continue to point fingers here.â
His words immediately frightened those people so much that they instantly shut up.
Only then did Eudora look at Amos, âHubby, from now on, itâs my turn to protect you! Shall we go home?â
Doctor Leon parted his lips and finally let out a sigh.
âAmos, youâd better go home! As for the treatment, if youâre still willing to be treated, Iâll contact them and arrange them to come to Rosaville City.â
Eudora looked at Amos eagerly again. All this while, she had been enduring it like a strong woman. Even her gaze fooled the people around her.
Only on this day, she looked at Amos with a hint of timidity in her eyes.
Eudora was afraid that he would not go back with her.
Amosâ heart skipped a beat. He couldnât come up with a way to say no.
In his life, the thing he did not want to see the most was the look of sadness in her eyes.
It was as if Eudora was a part of him, the most fragile and delicate part of him.
âAlright!â Amos nodded.
âThank you, Amos!â Eudoraâs eyes lit up as she looked at him. âLetâs go home!â
Behind them, Harley and Doctor Leon looked at each other and sighed.
âIf we had known that it would be this simple, we should have told Eudora a long time ago!â
Doctor Leonâs face was gloomy, âThatâs right! Iâve wasted so much time and effort trying to persuade him!â
â¦
Along the way, Eudora stared at Amos as if he would run away in the blink of an eye.
The feeling of getting back something that she thought she had lost forever was amazing.
Sugar Bun asked Amos to play building blocks with him when they got home. Eudora went inside the kitchen to prepare supper.
After thinking for a while, Eudora went out and called out for Charlie Charlie was so terrified after seeing Eudora at the airport and dared not speak to her. Charlie was aware of Amosâ secret and remained silent. He was fearful that Eudora would become enraged.
However, Eudoraâs attention was completely focused on Amos. Charlie initially thought he had dodged a bullet. However, Eudora unexpectedly called him over not long after returning home.
Charlie once again felt nervous the moment he was standing in front of Eudora.
He immediately apologized, âIâm sorry, Madam! The circumstances were unusual, thus I had to keep it a secret!â
It was impossible for Eudora not to be angry. Hence, she said a few words about it because Charlie brought it up.
âAre you telling me that the times I had been in danger, the person who had helped me was actually Amos?â
Charlie nodded and said, âYes!â
âYouâve really crossed the line this time!â Eudora said coldly. It turned out that Amos had already done so much secretly before she even knew about it!
âSome of the attendees had even gotten punished and disciplined after the banquet. Was that something Amos did as well?â
Charlie nodded again, âHe punished the people who made things difficult for you!â
Eudoraâs heart slightly warmed. She should have thought of this a long time ago. Who else would do this for her other than Amos?
âThis is the last time youâre doing this. Iâm warning you, in the name of Mrs. Granger, to not do this another time. If this happens again, letâs see how I will punish you!â
Charlie broke out in a cold sweat. âNoted!â
Only then did Eudora change the topic and talk about the main reason she had called him over!
âGo pick Juju up tomorrow and tell her what has happened at home! I think Amos would like to have a meal with his family!â
Charlie nodded, and then Eudora instructed.
Then, Eudora instructed, âYou must do it well! Otherwise, you will be questioned.â
âYes!â Charlie replied.
Sugar Bun had fallen asleep when Eudora finished preparing supper.
He nestled his little body in the crook of Amosâ arms, which looked sweet. Amos just looked at him without blinking!
Eudoraâs heart felt warm, and she couldnât help but murmur again, trying to create the same family environment as before.
âMr. Granger, I didnât expect you to favor your son so much more! Iâve never seen you do this with Juju!â
Amos came to his senses and looked at the cunning little woman in front of him.
After a long time, he whispered with a smile, âSugar Bun looks just like you!â
Eudora was speechless.
Was Amos saying that the reason he was staring at Sugar Bun was because their son looked like her?
Eudora rolled her eyes at him, âWhat a sweet talker. Hurry and come over to eat!â After that, she turned around and walked towards the dining table.
She was relieved to see Amos acting so naturally.
What Eudora didnât know was that after she turned around, Amos had lowered his head bitterly.
Could it be that easy for them to go back to how they used to be?
