Amos reached out and took her into his arms. âYou fool!â
Eudora was a little surprised. âWhat did you call me?â
âLittle fool!â He said again. She was a little vexed and she said, âIf you continue to scold me like this, Iâll be mad!â
He said helplessly, âIn my heart, you are the most suitable person for me. Why do you feel that you are not good enough for me? Moreover, it is me who might not be good enough for you! I used to beâ¦â
She shook her head. âNo! To me, youâre the best!â
âBut in my heart, you are also the best!â
As soon as he finished his words, both of them stunned and instantly laughed while looking at each other.
She was a little puzzled. âIâm very unlucky, donât you think? Ever since weâve been together, weâve experienced so many incidents and problems! Iâve always gotten you into trouble, causing you to get hurt!â
He burst into laughter. âI thought Iâm the unlucky person and Iâve dragged you down many times!â
âWhat about my IQ? Iâm so stupid!â
Amos laughed again. âWell, for this question, just ask the employees in the company and youâll know! They all think youâre smart! Theyâre convinced by your capabilities!â
Eudora was persuaded by him.
Thinking about it in that way, it seemed that she was not that bad either!
âBut, when can I be as capable as you? Iâm still far from you! I donât want to be a burden to you forever, I want to be compatible with you and stand by your side.â
âAnd I want to protect our sweet home from all hardships!â
He shook his head and said, âDo you think there is absolute equality in marriage?â
She was mystified by the question. âIsnât there?â
âDo Thea and Harley have it? Do Tina and Christopher have it?â
Eudora waved her hand and said, âThe other people are different from me! I have said that I want to take care of you and our children! But I always need your help here and there!â
âThen I wonât help you in the future. Youâll have to do it yourself!â
Her eyes lit up. âReally?â
âOf course! I didnât help you much before. You have really come into your own, havenât you?â
She nodded. âItâs a deal. You shouldnât help me anymore! I promise you, when I feel that Iâm good enough to stand by your side and youâre not out of my league anymore, Iâll prioritize our family and leave everything to you in the future! But before that, please let me have a try, okay?â
Amos nodded. âAlright! Itâs a deal. Can we sleep now?â
After speaking out all the thoughts in her mind, she finally felt much more comfortable.
As soon as she relaxed, she felt sleepy.
After yawning, she leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
By the time she woke up, it was already night. Juju was brought over by Charlie and the room became lively all of a sudden.
Eudoraâs illness was much better. After considering the job at the construction site the next day, she said to Juju.
âI wonât be busy the day after tomorrow. Letâs go and buy some new year goods!â
It was the last time she went out for work in that year. It just so happened that there was a huge department store nearby. There would be much more new year goods in it than the market in Rosaville City!
The children were thrilled at the news and agreed to the plan.
The next day, Eudora went to work in high spirits. After she left, Amos said to Charlie, âRemove the people who were sent to follow Eudora!â
He was bewildered. âBut what if she is in danger?â
Amos pursed his lips. âDo it secretly!â
Charlie was speechless.
âSo, it turns out that we would still be protecting her secretly instead of doing it overtly! What is going on now?â
Anyway, it wasnât a big problem for them. As a result, they immediately went to settle it!
The corners of Amosâ lips curled up after Charlie had left.
The woman in his household wanted to be independent, therefore he could only do it in that way!
It was probably because Eudora was in a good mood, and she was beaming with confidence, so she didnât encounter any problems at all for her work the next day.
It made her think that Amos had arranged something in secret!
However, she didnât see it, so she stopped thinking about it for the moment. After finishing her work, she took the children to buy some new year goods.
The department store was exactly the same as what it was said to be! It was large and fully-stocked.
When Eudora and the others entered, they felt like they had entered a red ocean. There were goods covered in red packages, red boxes and the decorations were red too.
They purchased a lot of goods and they had to ask someone to send over the things to the hotel directly.
After coming out of the department store, Eudora and the others were just about to eat when a person came to stop them.
âThe four of you look very happy. Thereâs a family activity in our store at the end of the year. As long as you participate in it, you stand a chance to win. The winners will be given a family portrait taken for free!â
Although it was free, it was not attractive at all to Eudora and Amos!
However, Sugar Bun and Juju were interested in the parenting activity that he mentioned!
âMommy, how about we play it together?â Juju pleaded.
The keenness in the childâs eyes made Eudora have no reason to refuse it. She could only nod and said, âOkay!â
After putting on their uniform, Eudora brought the two children and her husband in.
The first game was a balloon carrying game. The two of them had to hug each other and carry the balloon in between their bodies. Then, they had to move forward slowly and send the balloon to the destination.
The winner would be the ones who delivered the most balloons in three minutes!
Eudora looked at Juju and said, âLetâs go!â
The mother and daughter pair were perfectly in sync. There was no doubt that they won!
The next game was to do push-ups while having the child sit on the parentâs back. The duration for the game was still the same, three minutes. Whoever did the highest number of push-ups would win.
Doubtlessly, Amos and Sugar Bun participated in it. Sugar Bun rode on his fatherâs back and he would smile sweetly every time Amos did a push-up.
The scene was full of cheers and laughter. Undeniably, they had won again!
After two wins in three rounds, they took the family portrait. This was their first family portrait!
After that, Juju held the photo in delight.
âMommy, we won it through our hard work! Itâs so precious!â
Eudora nodded. âThen weâll keep it properly. Letâs put it in a frame when we get back.â
While they were talking, Juju suddenly said, âMommy, Vincent!â
Eudora was taken aback for a moment. She followed Jujuâs gaze and only caught a fleeting glimpse of a black shadow running over.
Amos quickly ran towards that direction, but in the end, he didnât manage to catch up.
âMaybe itâs a mistake. No one was there!â
Juju frowned. âBut I saw his figure clearly, itâs Vincent. He doesnât look very good though!â
Her bark was worse than her bite, and she was never vindictive.
She felt sorry for Vincent when she saw what he became. After all, he used to be her classmate and children donât hold such spiteful hatred!
âDaddy, can you find someone to look around? Maybe itâs really him.â
Amos nodded. âYes, I will!â
In fact, Charlie had been looking for Vincent all the while. It was just that they couldnât find him in Rosaville City even after searching through the entire city. Furthermore, there was rumour that he was dead. Why would he appear in Long City all of a sudden?
