Just then, Eudora was at home, and she was desperately stuffing things into the luggage with Sugar Bun.
Sugar Bun was a little depressed and asked, âMommy, how long do we have to be on the run this time?â
Eudora frowned and replied, âFor at least half a month! Did you forget? The last time you broke some windows at school, we had to hide for ten days!â
Upon hearing that, Sugar Bun frowned.
âMommy, but it was you who broke the glass that time!â
Eudora was speechless.
She hurriedly covered Sugar Bunâs mouth and laughed dryly, âMommy did that to help you! Why are you so disloyal?â
Sugar Bun was speechless.
âOkay, letâs stop talking. Hurry up and pack your things. Your father will be back soon!â
However, the moment she finished speaking, Sugar Bun tugged on the hem of her shirt.
Eudora shook her head at him and scowled, âWe really donât have time to talk anymore! Come on, hurry up!â
Sugar Bun said, âItâs not that, daddy is back!â
Eudora gasped!
This little brat! How could he keep quiet about how Amos returned? How could he do this?
Eudora turned around in a hurry, kicked the half-packed luggage under the bed, and looked at Amos with a sheepish smile.
âHubby, youâre back? The weather is good today. Sugar Bun and I were going to dry out the luggage bags under the sun!â
Amos frowned at that, âWhy are you still lying to me? The teacher called my office today! Tell me, who started it first?â
Sugar Bun immediately lowered his head and admitted, âDaddy, this has nothing to do with mommy. Iâm the one who got into trouble. If you want to blame someone, blame me!â
Eudora looked at her son with gratification and hurriedly added, âDonât even try to beat my son!â
Amos ignored her and looked straight at Sugar Bun.
âAre you really planning to help your mommy take the blame?â
âYes!â Sugar Bun nodded. Hence, Amos sighed, âFine then! Go down, and youâre grounded for an hour! Reflect on what youâve done!â
Sugar Bun turned around sulkily and left. Meanwhile, Eudora tried to stop him and offer, âMommy will go with you!â
However, Amos grabbed her and stopped her from advancing, âI am not done with you yet! Stay here, Iâll settle the score with you slowly!â
Sugar Bun threw a sympathetic look at Eudora before heading downstairs, not even sparing her another look.
It was only then that Amos turned towards Eudora, smiling, âHoney, youâve worked hard!â
Eudora stretched, her back seemingly stiff as she sighed, âNice to know that youâre aware! Hurry up and give me a massage. Iâm so tired!â
Amos did not hesitate and immediately gave her a gentle massage.
âHow is it? Do you feel better now?â
Eudora nodded in approval, âYes, itâs so much better! Do you think that Sugar Bunâs condition has improved?â
Both of them fell silent for a short while before nodding together.
âI think heâs getting much better!â
There was a joyful look on Eudoraâs face as she exclaimed, âThe fact that he automatically stood up for me means that heâs improved!â
To explain Eudoraâs actions, one had to look back at two months ago when she first resigned.
After she left, she was supposed to take care of Sugar Bun.
During Sugar Bunâs annual physical examination, the doctor informed Eudora that his results werenât optimistic. Apparently, Sugar Bun had some defects in personality.
According to the doctor, Sugar Bun wasnât as cheerful as other children, and there were fears that he was autistic.
Eudora was appalled. Eventually, after consulting the doctor, she began causing trouble along with Sugar Bun!
The doctorâs suggestion was to allow the child to discover different joys in life.
Now that it had become so, Sugar Bun seemed very happy, while Eudora was utterly exhausted. However, she felt relieved too after seeing her childâs condition improve.
Eudora rubbed her tired shoulders and asked Amos again.
âWhat did the school say? Were they very angry?â
Amos nodded and admitted, âYes!â
Eudora immediately stood up and said, âThen Iâll explain things to the teacher!â
âThereâs no need to!â Amos pursed his lips, âIâve already told the teacher that weâll be transferring to another school!â
Eudora was surprised upon hearing this!
âAnother transfer again? Amos Granger, we have already transferred schools four times in two months! By this rate, we wonât have anywhere else to transfer to in Rosaville City!â
Amos frowned and explained, âThe teacher was too harsh with her words!â
âLike how? Like saying that Sugar Bun and I have gone too far? And she wants you to intervene?â
Amos nodded and asked, âHow did you know?â
Eudora rolled her eyes and sighed, âThatâs because Sugar Bun transferred schools for the same reason for the past four times!â
Amos was rendered speechless.
âIs that so?â
âOf course,â Eudora had run out of ideas, but after a while, she returned to Amosâs embrace.
âThank you, hubby, but we really canât transfer this time. Otherwise, Sugar Bun is really going to run out of schools to attend to!â
Amos shook his head and explained, âDonât worry, Iâve already asked Clint to open up a new school, of which heâs already preparing to. Where do you think we should open it?â
Eudora was taken aback.
âAre you serious? Is this really going to be a good idea?â
âWhy not? Valiant East has already invested in a lot of schools this year! Since we havenât tried opening one in Rosaville City, we can try to!â
âIs it because of Sugar Bun? Mr. Granger, youâre a little too rich, arenât you? Youâll spoil Sugar Bun!â
Amos laughed, âNo, Iâm not doing it for Sugar Bun. Iâm doing it for you!â
He massaged Eudoraâs shoulder and continued, âIâm afraid that youâll be too tired if you continue to create trouble with Sugar Bun at school. Iâll specially hire professional teachers from abroad for him. Of course, the students will be specially recruited too, so you donât have to worry! With that, we donât need to change to another school so frequently in the future!â
Eudora was a little curious and asked, âWhat if the teachers went overboard again? Are you going to fire them?â
Amos nodded, âWhy not? Though, I believe that the professional teachers we hire will not act like that!â
Eudora was speechless.
She silently mourned for her sonâs future teachers.
â¦
While waiting for the school to be opened, Eudora still continued causing trouble with Sugar Bun. Meanwhile, Amos had gotten used to dealing with their antics and slowly got used to receiving complaints.
Another two months passed, and Eudora was planning to pay Tyler and Emily some respects.
She had made some preparations before she went.
Aside from having buried Tyler and Emily together, Juju also made a small grave for Vincent nearby.
Most notably, it was the first time Eudora was going to visit Wesleyâs grave along with Amos and her two children.
After the previous accident, many had assumed that Wesley and Amos had both passed. No one expected Wesley to shield Amos from all the incoming danger.
Later on, many other things had occurred, leaving them no time to come pay their respects.
Eudora placed the flowers in her hands on Wesleyâs grave, whispering, âThank you. Rest in peace, and I hope your new life will be a better one.â
The two children were basically brought up by Wesley, so they were very sad to see his grave.
On the way back, the two children were exhausted from all the crying and fell asleep.
Amos reached out and held Eudoraâs hand. He told her, âActually, there is one thing that I have never told you before. Now, I think I should finally reveal it to you!â
