The next day was the weekend, thus Eudora woke up without setting an alarm.
Eudora met Amosâ affectionate eyes as soon as she opened her eyes. She blinked her eyes and wanted to look at him for a while longer, but he had already turned his head away.
âYouâre awake? Get up!â
Eudora was flustered, only to find that she was still in his arms.
Furthermore, he had not pushed her away. Eudora felt a surge of joy in her heart. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she swallowed her words back.
Eudora quickly raised her head and kissed him on his chin.
âAlright, Iâm up now!â
They made their way downstairs.
âWeâve run out of the food at home, thus weâll eat something simple for breakfast.â
Eudora waved her hand, âItâs fine. Iâll ask Charlie to buy some.â
âCharlie went on a blind date!â Amos said.
âWhat?â Eudora was surprised. âWhy would he go on a blind date? When did he go to one? Why didnât he tell me?â
âHe told me yesterday! When he heard that Cindy is going on a blind date, he tagged along!â
Eudoraâs eyes immediately lit up!
âI didnât expect that from Charlie! When did he take a fancy to Cindy? When he comes back, Iâll ask him about that! Iâll ask Clint to send the food here then!â
Amos grabbed her hand again and said, âLetâs buy it ourselves.â
Eudora was taken aback. âYou are willing to go shopping with me?â
However, as soon as Eudora was finished speaking, she regretted it. Didnât she say that she would treat Amos as usual?
However, it was still alright as Amos did not show any reaction.
He just said lightly, âDidnât you say that you want me to take care of the chores? Buying food is part of my job!â
It was indeed part of his job, but more importantly, he had agreed to accompany her to go out!
Eudora was giddy with delight, âGreat! Letâs head out in a while.â
â¦
At home, Amos was not as uncomfortable as before. Eudora finished her meal and considered the fact that Amos might have to change his clothes.
Eudora picked Sugar Bun and said, âWeâll head upstairs and change our clothes. See you later.â
Amos stopped her once more.
âYou look beautiful. Thereâs no need to get changed!â
Eudora was astonished, âWhat about you?â
âCanât I just wear this?â
She couldnât believe her eyes. She wasnât surprised but rather delighted. She had anticipated Amos to change gradually and that he would take a long time to accept everything as before.
She did not expect him to change so rapidly.
It was so unexpected that Eudora did not know how to react.
Amos patted her head and said, âI canât let you work hard on your own. Iâm going to put in a lot of effort for you.â
Sugar Bun was frolicking by the side, âI will too!â
Eudora was delighted as she curled her lips, âThen, letâs work hard together!â
â¦
She was mentally prepared for people to stare at them, but what went down was still beyond her expectations.
As soon as they entered the supermarket, people began pointing at him.
Eudora was nervous, but Amos remained as cool as a cucumber!
When she heard others talking about Amos, she wanted to reason with them, but Amos stopped her.
âItâs fine! Arenât we here to buy groceries?â
Eudora nodded and the three of them went to the seafood area.
It turned out that self-confidence could really make people look differently at you. Initially, Eudora was inwardly worried that others would have bad intentions.
Slowly, when she saw how calm Amos was, she decided to let go of it.
After letting go of it, everything suddenly became clear. No matter what others thought, their family was still harmonious.
In particular, as they were walking around, they saw a mini arcade in the supermarket. Games like these were hugely popular among children like Sugar Bun!
The previous times they were here, Eudora didnât have the time to play with him.
Generally, most males would like to play games as compared to females.
Sugar Bun was envious of how other fathers would accompany their children in the past! On this day, when he walked past the area, he looked at the games expectantly once again.
Seeing that there were a lot of people there, Eudora wanted to pull Amos away as soon as possible and did not want people to stare at them.
However, Amos smiled and said, âLetâs go. Dad will take you there.â
A moment later, both of them queued up for the shooting game. Eudora found a spot that was next to them and watched them play.
Perhaps, Sugar Bun was influenced by Juju. Although he was young, he was interested in weapons and guns!
Howeverâ¦
Eudora couldnât help but feel a sense of superiority as she looked at the father-and-son pair.
They were so good at it!
Eudora wasnât the only one astounded. Even the onlookers around them were dumbstruck.
In the beginning, when they first started playing, no one thought much of them. Now, there was a crowd that surrounded them!
Amos and Sugar Bun worked together tacitly and were not affected by the surrounding onlookers at all. Truth be told, Sugar Bun was too young, so Amos was the one who did most of the work.
In the end, both of them broke the highest record of this game by a mile.
The crowd exclaimed, âThatâs amazing! Youâre a professional, arenât you?â
Eudora hurriedly squeezed her way in, saying, âHeâs not a professional, but just dabbles in it.â
âYouâre too modest. Based on his skills, Iâm sure your husband knows more than that!â
âWhere did you all learn your skills from? Can you introduce me to that place?â
âLook at her husband and look at yourself! What can you do?â
âDad, I want a father like that too!â
Eudora listened to the praises one after another. Her heart felt as if it was sweeter than honey.
Her husband, Amos really was the best!
Although Amos still looked calm, there was a glimmer of light in his initially gloomy eyes.
It was really a good decision to come out on this day. At the very least, Amos was taking a step in the right direction. Things would slowly get better in the future!
There would always be a second time after the first. Even if time couldnât remove the scars, Eudora had faith in Amosâ ability to persevere!
The next day was Helenâs wedding. With the encouragement from the day before, Eudora felt much more relaxed.
âLetâs go in together later! Helen and Doctor Leon really want you to be there!â
As she had already put forward her request, Amos did not refuse.
After receiving a positive reply, Eudora hurried to pick out a gown. Juju couldnât come back, thus Eudora had prepared clothes for herself, Sugar Bun and Amos.
Looking into the mirror, Eudora happily took a picture of the three of them before rushing out.
Eudora got a call from Doctor Leon as soon as she stepped out of the door. He was also overjoyed to learn that Amos would be there.
âThen, be careful on the road. Iâll ask Helen to reserve the best seats!â
Eudora nodded, âSee you later!â
