The next day, Eudora was woken up by a knock on the door.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt a soreness that she had not experienced in a long time.
Juju and Sugar Bun were knocking on the door, âMom, itâs time to get up!â
Eudora quickly got up to open the door, only to find that her shoulders were still exposed.
She had no idea where her clothes were.
Eudora felt exasperated She glared at Amos and said, âYouâre sleeping in the guest room tonight!â
The corners of Amosâs lips curled up. He reached out for her clothes and helped her put them on, âAlright, but youâll have to go with me!â
Eudora was stunned by his assertiveness.
âHurry up and open the door!â
Amos helped her to tidy herself up. Seeing that she was fully clothed, he walked over and opened the door.
Juju and Sugar Bun flew into the room as they shouted, âMom, are you sick? Why are you still sleeping?â
Eudora held her tongue.
What was she supposed to say?
Upon noticing Eudoraâs actions, Sugar Bun was on the verge of climbing onto the bed.
Amos came over and grabbed him, âDonât disturb your mother! Iâll play with you downstairs.â
Eudora recalled Jujuâs words as she asked, âYou lied to me, didnât you?â
Juju said, âMom, donât be so petty! Although I donât have a brutal training session to attend, thereâs somewhere you have to go with me!â
âWhere?â Eudoraâs expression finally eased a little.
âThis yearâs entrance ceremony. You and Dad should come together!â
Eudora was stunned for a second as she thought, âThatâs right. Itâs almost time for the holidays. Juju will be in second grade next year!â
Come to think of it, time really had flown by quickly! In the blink of an eye, Juju was already all grown up.
Eudora nodded, âAlright, Iâll go!â
âThank you, Mom!â Juju smiled charmingly. She stretched her head out and moved closer to Eudoraâs cheek, but was blocked by Eudoraâs outstretched hand.
ââEven so, Iâm still down in the dumps. You canât lie to me next time, okay?â
Juju sighed helplessly, âYes, Mom!â
âThatâs more like it!â
Eudora kissed Jujuâs cheek and said with a smile, âOkay, letâs go downstairs to have breakfast!â
After sending Juju off to school, Eudora talked to Amos about this matter.
âIt feels like yesterday when we last attended an activity in Jujuâs school! In the blink of an eye, many years have passed! I feel like Iâm getting old!â
Amos shook his head, âNo, youâre still as beautiful as before.â
Eudora shot him a look of annoyance, âWhat a sweet talker! Iâve promised Juju that weâre all going! You donât have any problems with that, right?â
Amos shook his head and said, âIâm alright with this! Iâm the househusband now. My life should revolve around my three children!â
Eudora was stunned, âThree children? Donât we only have two?â
Amos stayed silent as his eyes stayed fixed on Eudora.
After speaking, Eudora finally realized that the third child he was talking about was actually herself.
â¦
It was the day of the entrance ceremony at Jujuâs school.
When Eudora arrived at the entrance, many parents had already arrived. When they were about to get off the car, Amos suddenly received a phone call.
Eudora took Juju and got out of the car first.
After taking a few steps forward, she saw Dylan, the man she had hit last time, getting out of the car in front of her.
The moment he saw Eudora, he shivered in fear.
Eudora was reluctant to cause a scene as well. Last time, she had hit him because his child had bullied Juju and he himself also spoke rudely to her.
However, he was still the father of Jujuâs classmate. The incident took place quite some time ago, so Eudora had no intentions of bringing it up again.
Although she was about to calmly walk past Dylan, the woman standing beside him did not seem too happy to let things slide just like that.
âLook at yourself. Youâre such a coward! I thought she was scary, but it turns out that sheâs just a skinny little weakling. Why are you so scared of her?â
The woman speaking was Dylanâs wife, Betty. They looked alike and were both large-sized.
âYou should set an example for your son. If he sees what a coward you are, how will he get along with his classmates? Watch this!â
As she spoke, she rushed towards Eudora.
She blocked Eudoraâs way, âWait a minute.â
Eudora subconsciously shielded Juju behind her.
She spoke, âHello, Iâm here for the schoolâs entrance ceremony. If thereâs another matter youâd like to talk about, we can have a private discussion about it later onâ¦â
âPrivate discussion? Are you kidding me?!â Betty snorted and sized up Eudora.
âI was wondering why a few men couldnât handle you. From what I see, itâs not that they couldnât beat you, but that you must have mesmerized them. Youâre such a vixen!â
Eudora was dumbfounded.
It was fine if she wanted to fight. However, this woman came straight up to her and called her a vixen in front of Juju. Betty had simply gone too far, hadnât she?
âExcuse me, please mind your words! There are children here. As a mother, you must set a good example for your child,â scolded Eudora Her tone was indifferent, but her words were powerful and hard-hitting, making Betty blush in shame.
Betty retorted, âWho are you to tell me about setting a good example? Youâre the d*mn vixen around here! Youâre the one whoâs seducing men everywhere you go!â
Eudora was furious!
âWhat on earth are you talking about? When have I seduced other men?â
âYou know very well who youâve seduced!â Betty glared at Dylan. Dylanâs eyes were filled with fear as he retorted, âDonât spout nonsense! I never said that.â
âYou coward! Didnât you mutter her name in your sleep? Why are you so scared now?â
Dylanâs face flushed red.
He yelled, âStop talking nonsense! Donât you know that her husband has returned?â
Betty became even more daring, âOh, yes. The news said that your husband has come back. Unfortunately, he looks like that now. Did you seduce other men because you couldnât stand his ugly face?â
Eudora was fuming. This woman actually dared to defame her in front of Juju and she had even criticized Amos.
She looked at Betty coldly, âEnough! Youâre spouting nonsense! I donât mind teaching you a lesson right here, right now so that youâll know your manners next time.â
âOh, so youâre scared now? Everyone has seen the news and knows that your husband looks like the hunchback of Notre Dame. Youâ¦â
Before she could finish her sentence, Eudora had already kicked her.
Juju, who was beside Eudora shot her leg out at the same time. The mother and daughter duo were perfectly synchronized, one kicking Betty on her thigh while the other on her calf.
Betty cried out in pain, her shouts as shrill as a pig being slaughtered.
Her husband and son kept a distance from her, fearful of getting involved.
Even the onlookers failed to stand it anymore.
They pointed at Betty and whispered, âShe deserves to be beaten. She was really mean!â
âThatâs right. If I were her, I would have kicked her more than once!â
Betty was so frustrated that she rushed towards Eudora with a roar. This time, Eudora grabbed her by the shoulder.
Betty was too short, so she could only frantically wave her arms and kick her feet, but she could never reach Eudora. She got so angry that her face flushed crimson red.
