Eudora made her way downstairs without hesitation with Juju in her arms. Juju was so nervous that she kept struggling but to no avail. Finally, she reached out towards Amos and cried loudly. Amos hurried to Juju when he heard her cries. However, when he thought of his dark past, he stopped dead once again. Perhaps, he could never escape from his past. In that case, perhaps it would be better to end things with Eudora. Wendy was right. How could a person like him, who had been living in the dark, ever stand under the sun again? The rays of sunshine may be shining on him but darkness would always seep from his heart. It would be unfair to Eudora and Juju. In that case, he should just let them go! He made his mind up at that moment and he stood rooted to the ground. Following that, Juju suddenly screamed, "Daddy!" Amos' heart skipped a beat, and even Eudora was surprised. Juju was speaking again! Juju was still sobbing in Eudora'
The woman on the phone was very curious but she did not insist when Eudora was adamant that she did not want the payment. Juju had already woken up. However, she was not in a good state because of what had happened the night before. She sat there in a daze and she did not even react when Eudora talked to her. Eudora George was frightened. She was afraid that Juju had reverted to how she was previously. Eudora was anxious as she comforted Juju gently. However, Juju was still indifferent and Eudora, who was getting more impatient and worried, spoke sternly. "Don't you know that Mommy would feel sad when you act like this? He's not your Daddy, so you should not be sad because of him. Mommy is willing to let you pick another Daddy if you really want one. But, no matter what, you're the most important person to Mommy, so you must be alright, okay?" Juju slowly raised her head to stare at Eudora. Her big round eyes were filled with sadness. "I don't
When Christopherheard that Eudora and Juju were going abroad, he decided to take Juju to the amusement park one more time. Back then, Christopher would always bring Juju to amusement parks when they were abroad. Eudora was afraid of heights, so there were a lot of attractions that she dared not try. On the other hand, Juju was having a great time. Her mood gradually brightened up when Christopher at her side. At that moment, it seemed as though she had forgotten all about the hurt that Amos had inflicted upon her. After coming out of the amusement park, Christopher suggested having some buffalo wings. Eudora recalled the buffalo wings that she had the other time and they were not spicy at all. Therefore, she ordered the spiciest wings this time out of spite. Then, she ordered a kid's meal for Juju and the three of them ate together. A waiter came over to their table when they were still eating. "Sir, Miss, we are having our anniversary event an
"Mrs. Granger..." Harley called after her hurriedly. Eudora frowned and said, "Please don't refer to me that way." She had clarified about it countless times. Since she was already uncomfortable with it from the very beginning, Eudora knew that she needed to draw a line now. Harley parted his lips and finally changed the way he referred to her. "Miss... George." "Yes, what can I do for you?" Eudora was polite to Harley but she kept her distance. "Something bad happened," Harley explained in a hurry, "Could you come with me to see Amos? Please?" Eudora frowned and said, "If it has anything to do with him, then forget it. I have nothing to do with him anymore." "I know that Amos might have crossed the line, but he has his reasons. He threw up blood the night you left. He has been lying in the hospital for the past week, but his condition is not improving at all. I am begging you, please go and visit him!" Eudora was surprised. She tho
Christopher spoke after they were done with cooking. "I've already found a tailor for the wedding dress. I'm sorry that we had to rush this. This was the best I could find in such a short time." "It's okay!" Eudora shook her head and continued, "Don't worry about the details." Christopher pursed his lips and said, "Let's go for a fitting tomorrow then. You should come along too, Juju. You need to try on your dress too." Juju, who was still eating, immediately put down her spoon. "Mommy, I don't want to eat anymore!" Eudora frowned. She said, "Juju, you're being rude." Unexpectedly, the little girl ignored her mother and went straight back to her room. Christopher was a little embarrassed. "It's my fault. It seems like Juju still couldn't accept it because it's all too sudden." "It's okay, she'll be fine after a while. Where will the fitting take place? I'll be there on time with Juju!" Christopher stood up after giving her the
"Is it too fast?" Christopher said with a smile, "Or, are you afraid?" Eudora pursed her lips and she said, "No, I just feel that it's a little too sudden, but it's alright. In fact, marriage is not supposed to be so complicated. It's just a procedure for us to get a marriage certificate, right?" Christopher nodded. He said, "I'm sorry. We'll hold a grand ceremony again in the future if we have the chance to." At that moment, Eudora felt that something was off. She lowered her head and she saw Juju sitting there alone expressionlessly. No one knew what Juju was thinking about. Eudora called her hurriedly, "Juju, what's wrong?" Juju shook her head and she seemed dejected. Eudora sighed. She reached out to hold Juju in her arms. For the first time ever, Juju came up with the idea of sleeping alone at night. Eudora refused at first, but all of a sudden, Juju said, "You will not be sleeping with me anymore after you get married, right? I shou
Christopher took a few steps backward and made his way downstairs. He then took his mobile phone out to call Eudora. "I'm sorry, I still have a lot of matters to attend to here, so I can't go to the hospital. I hope Juju is alright!" "She's fine!" Eudora shook her head. She paused for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, have I troubled you? I..." "Eudora..." Christopher interrupted her quickly and continued, "Eudora, I should be the one to apologize. I accidentally met a girl on my way to your house this morning and I think that I'm starting to like her." Eudora frowned. She said, "You..." "Let's call off the wedding, okay? Didn't you say that you would give me your blessings if I happened to meet someone I like? Could you give me your blessings now?" Eudora's instinct told her that this was not as simple as he claimed. "What kind of girl is she?" "A drunk girl. She bumped into me in a daze. She's very cute, just like a little rabbit. I t
Harley arrived at the ward in the evening. He stared at Eudora as soon as he entered the room. Eudora was confused. "What? Is there something on my face?" "No, I'm just thinking if you were really going to marry Christopher, or is this just a part of your plan to take Amos back!" Eudora was at a loss of words. "You're thinking too much. Do I look like I have the time to do that?" Harley nodded firmly and he replied, "Of course!" Eudora was speechless. "You should leave if you don't have anything else to say. I still have to accompany Juju." "No. Tell me honestly, was this all a show between you and Christopher? Did you actually take advantage of me to pass on the message?" What was he talking about? Eudora was extremely confused at this point. "Why do you think that it's just for show?" "Because you didn't get married today but Christopher got married. Amos' heart used to waver, but now, he's so sure about you, and
