The man, Baldrick, next to her had a bad temper. Seeing that Eudora still couldn't soothe the child, he became frustrated and proceed to snatch Sugar Bun from her arms. The way he was pulled made him cry even louder. Eudora felt her heart breaking. She didn't know where the strength came from, but she kicked Baldrick hard and held the child tightly in her arms, "Don't be afraid, Sugar Bun. I'll protect you." Baldrick was out of breath after being kicked by Eudora, "Damn, you look so weak. I didn't expect you to have this kind of skill. It seemed you want to fight with me, then shall we have a..." He waved his fist at Eudora again. The next second, the driver, Mark, said coldly. "Enough! If you continue to make trouble, I'll kill you." Baldrick took back his hand awkwardly. "Why are you so scared? It's just a woman and a child. Even if we kill them, nothing bad would happen, right? Our boss was killed by this little b*stard's father,
Amos didn't stop her. Instead, he covered her with the blanket that he had brought for her. "Have a good rest! Your Mommy and Sugar Bun will be back soon!" Wesley stepped forward in a hurry and asked Amos anxiously after Juju fell asleep. "Mr. Granger, have you really found Mrs. Granger and the Young Master? Amos shook his head, "No." Wesley's heart skipped a beat and he fell silent. Yes, if he had found them, they would already be here right now. It was obvious that Amos was trying to reassure Juju. "I'm sorry. It's my fault." Wesley was very frustrated. His martial arts and leadership skills were not as good compared to Charlie's when they used to fight side by side. Later, he found his own life goals because he was good at taking care of the children. Even if he had to help Amos take care of his children, he was ready to do so wholeheartedly. However, not only did he lose the child, but he couldn't take good care of Juju either.
Although Eudora didn't know who these people were and what they wanted to do, but they hadn't done anything bad to them just yet. It seemed as if they were waiting for further instructions. Since they had a purpose, they certainly would not allow them to die. Sure enough, after Eudora spoke these words, a trace of nervousness flashed across Baldrick's eyes. "Fine, you win!" After that, he turned around. A moment later, he threw a bowl of soup in front of Eudora. "We don't have milk powder, but a bowl of soup. Take it or leave it!" "It looks like you're not afraid that I'll die," Eudora wanted to use the same trick again. This time, Baldrick sneered. "This place is so remote. Even if I go out to buy it for you, your child will starve to death before I'm back! And that is if I am willing to do it. Give up! Are you going to eat it or not? If you don't, you can take your child with you and die!" Eudora smiled bitterly in her heart. She
Eudora felt her eyelids constantly twitching as if something was bothering her. She wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn't. Finally, when she heard Sugar Bun's crying, her heart fluttered and she finally opened her eyes. Cold! It was really cold. Eudora couldn't help but shudder as she hugged Sugar Bun tightly again. She didn't know that her lips were as pale as paper at this time, which made her look scary. Seeing that she had opened her eyes, Sugar Bun kept looking at her with his round eyes. He gazed upon her as if she would disappear the moment he blinked his eyes. Eudora felt the difference in Sugar Bun's aura towards her, and she felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She wanted to say something, but she was afraid that she would break the delicate bond that was just formed between Sugar Bun and her if she spoke, thus she decided to keep the excitement in her heart. Looking at the sky outside, it seemed that it was almost noo
Did he get close to her not entirely because he liked the character but because he liked her too? He had always rejected her before this. Was it just because he was not willing to forgive her? Eudora hugged Sugar Bun tightly again. She started to feel powerful as she believed that her son had begun to accept her. She began to listen carefully to the movement outside. She had to find a way to convince those two people to let their guard down so that she could take the opportunity to escape. At this moment, she could hear the two people outside beginning to argue again. Baldrick was still furious at Mark because of the events that transpired earlier that morning. He was about to go on a fit of rage. "What do you mean by that? Don't you dare think that you're the boss just because I've always listened to you! I just don't want to argue with you. Don't you dare think that you could order me around! I don't care. Do whatever you want!" Mark's
Before Eudora could recover from the shock, she realized that the man who had stopped her from falling was Wesley. Wesley took the stick from the ground and began fighting with Mark. He shouted, "Madam, run!" Wesley's skills was above average thus Mark was an easy opponent. But if another person joined Mark, it would be hard to predict the outcome of the fight. Eudora frowned. She picked up the rock from the ground and threw it at Mark. She had learned shooting with Juju previously, therefore, her shooting skill could be considered quite good. Her shot aimed right at Mark's knee. As Mark bent his leg, Wesley took the opportunity to kick him. With that kick, Mark wasn't able to stand up. Turning his head, Wesley hurriedly grabbed Eudora and said, "Madam, let's get out of here fast." However, the two kidnappers were not giving up. They quickly chased Eudora, Sugar Bun and Wesley from the back. Eudora ran with all her might, only hearing the
After allowing Eudora and Sugar Bun to have a quiet moment together, Amos stepped forward and held onto Eudora's shoulder. "You haven't recovered yet, so you'd better go back to have a rest." Eudora refused to let go of Sugar Bun, "No, I want to hug my son a little longer!" Amos frowned and looked at Sugar Bun again. Sugar Bun kissed Eudora's cheek. Then, he turned to Amos and gave him a smug smile. It was as though he was declaring that Eudora was his! Amos was surprised. Although he felt it was ridiculous, Sugar Bun seemed to actually be provoking him. Amos suddenly felt that he was as if being treated as a rival by Sugar Bun. "Come, let daddy hug you!" Amos said. Sugar Bun turned his head away and ignored Amos. Amos was speechless. Eudora, who was next to him, staggered a little. When she was sent to the hospital, the doctor said that she was sick and had a high fever of 39 degrees. Amos held her up and suddenly
Not only was Amos worried, his two children, who had been playing on the sofa, were concerned as well. Hearing that Eudora was injured, Juju was about to run over, so did Sugar Bun. However, he couldn't walk so he was anxious to be hugged. He even attempted to climb down from the sofa so that he could reach Eudora's bed. In the end, it was Tina who gave him a favor and carried him over. The two little kids snuggled up beside Eudora. One of them blew at Eudora's arm, "Mommy, I'm blowing the pain away for you. In this way, it won't hurt anymore!" The other one didn't know how to speak, so he used his chubby little hand to caress the wounds on Eudora's arm, in an attempt to make the pain go away. The scene was so heartwarming that it almost brought tears into everyone's eyes. As Christopher was looking at this scene, he felt a sudden trace of envy. He had always thought that it would be troublesome to have a child, but his thoughts began to change afte
Naomi immediately changed the topic by saying, "I'm going to the meeting." As they spoke, her phone rang again. The secretary took a look and said, "It's from Mr. Olsen." Naomi said, "I'm late to the meeting! I'll talk to him after the meeting!" The meeting lasted for a few hours. After a few hours, Naomi stood tiredly in front of the sink. She looked more mature than she did before. She was indeed no longer the innocent girl she used to be. She remembered that before she went to the meeting, the secretary had mentioned that there was a message from Culver. She took out her phone and clicked on the message. The next second, her hand trembled, and her phone fell to the ground. ...... When Naomi arrived at the funeral home, Culver was already waiting for her at the entrance. "When did it happen?" Naomi tried hard to hold back her emotions along the way, but the moment she opened her mouth, her emotions flowed out. "Last ni
Although Naomi and Eddison were reluctant, they submitted under Amos' domineering aura. The next day, they packed up their things and went back to Rosaville City. As soon as the car was about to turn, it was stopped by Amos. "Go straight to the Granger Mansion." Eddison asked curiously, "Why are we going there?" "You're going to take over the Granger family's business, that's why!" Naomi teased. Before Naomi could finish gloating, Amos teased her, "You too." The two siblings' faces instantly stiffened, as though they were forced to resign to fate. Indeed, the first thing they did after they returned to the mansion was to ask Alfred to clean up the two master bedrooms for Naomi and Eddison. Although the two rooms were master bedrooms, they weren't totally identical. Alfred gave the better room to Eddison. Before they entered the house, Alfred noticed that Naomi seemed to be rebelling. After thinking about it, Alfred explained t
After coaxing Eudora for a while, Naomi managed to persuade her to eat a few mouthfuls of food. She was finally much calmer. However, it could be seen with the naked eye that she had lost some weight. Naomi was incredibly worried. While Eudora was on a walk with Eddison, she sat in front of Amos's bed. She said, "Dad, hurry up and wake up! Mom misses you so much that she's about to fall sick! Are you really willing to let her go on like that?" Naomi sniffed, "Mom was so beautiful when she was young. She looks really pretty now, too. If you don't wake up soon, I'll find someone else for her! When that time comes, don't regret it!" There was still no movement from the person on the bed. Naomi sighed in disappointment. When she turned around, a hand suddenly grabbed her sleeve. Naomi's heart skipped a beat of joy. When she turned around, she saw Amos staring at her. He yelled, "Don't you dare!" "Dad, you're awake!" Naomi was incredibly
"Mom, don't worry, Dad will be fine!" Naomi comforted her. Eudora hurriedly shook her head again, "What are you talking about? Of course, Amos will be fine. He's just angry with me! Where's my medicine? If you don't help me take it, I'll take it myself!" As she said, she got up from her seat. Naomi stopped her again and said, "I'll get it for you! Just wait here!" Eudora sat down obediently and reached out to hold Amos' hand. Naomi took a few steps outside and heard Eudora murmuring to Amos behind her. "Did you hear that? I'm being a good girl. Hurry up and wake up!" Naomi's nose twitched for no reason. She hurriedly restrained herself and quickly walked out. Her parents had been in love with each other for their whole lives. She had witnessed their journey since she was young. Eddison might not know about their history too well as he was really young back then. She remembered the time when there had been a great misunderstanding be
Amos hung up on the call and picked up the medicine that Eudora had not taken just then. He poured a glass of water and walked over to Eudora. "You haven't finished the medicine yet!" Eudora looked at the medicine in distress, pleading, "I think my body is much better now. I don't need to take it!" "That won't do," Amos remained strong-willed as always. "This medicine is good for your health!" "Medicines are drugs too!" Eudora was still putting on a fight. "You want to poison me to death, don't you?" Amos said helplessly, "Are you afraid of drugs, or do you want to suffer instead?" Eudora was rendered speechless. "Either way, I won't take it! It's too big of a pill to swallow. I know you're trying to poison me to death, so that you can find yourself a younger wife!" Amos was dumbfounded. "There are no younger girls who are more beautiful than you." "That's true!" Eudora nodded, and immediately looked into Amos's smiling
The Granger Mansion had been well taken care of, so there was nothing for Naomi to worry about. Hence, she decided to go straight back to Clearwater Bay. Amos and Eudora were not around. Although Clearwater Bay was in Cindy's care, it still felt desolate. In the evening, Cindy prepared a lot of delicious food for Naomi! "Your parents don't know that you're back in Rosaville City, right?" "No, they don't!" Naomi said after taking a sip of the mushroom soup. "Mom is in poor health, therefore I haven't told her yet. I'll go see her once I'm done with the matters here." "That's great! She must miss you and Sugar Bun." "What about you?" Naomi looked at Cindy with a smile. "Is everything alright between you and Uncle Charlie?" "Everything is fine! With everyone supervising him, he doesn't dare treat me badly!" As the two of them talked, Charlie protested from the outside. "Are you talking behind my back again with Miss Naomi?" Charl
It was only then that Culver remembered that Naomi was also in the kitchen. He concealed the panic on his face and pretended to be calm as he picked up the salmon next to him and put it on the pan. The next second, hot oil splashed out of the pan. Naomi pulled him away, "Mr. Olsen, don't act like you know how to cook!" Culver was not willing to give up. When he heard her words, he remained calm. "I can do this." "Stop lying!" Naomi exposed him without mercy. Then, she picked up the spatula next to her and flipped the salmon over. Culver stood behind her, watching her pour her heart and soul into cooking. It reminded him of the time she used to live in his house in Greene City. During that time, she had cooked all kinds of food for him every day. However, he had never actually seen her in action. It turned out she was still pretty as ever when she cooked. "Hand me the sauce!" It was not until Naomi called him
The doctor's face was solemn, "If it fails, he will only have two months to live!" Naomi fell silent. She finally understood why Nelson refused to undergo the surgery! "Miss George, you see..." "Are there not any other solutions, or at least something with a higher success rate?" Wasn't five percent too low of a success rate? It would be as if they were sending Nelson to death's door. The doctor shook his head, "It's not that we don't want to do something to help the patient. It's our wish for every patient to recover and live a healthy life, but Mr. Luther is in critical condition. We've really done our best! Moreover, his condition is deteriorating very quickly every day. It's possible that the success rate will lessen tomorrow! Therefore, we have to make a decision as soon as possible!" Naomi started to panic a bit. "Please let me think about it." She felt like an executioner at the moment. Her decision was the key to Nelson's su
"I don't like her anymore! If you want me to go back to the Olsen Group, please stop bugging me with your words!" After saying that, Culver made a call to Aaron. "Mobilize the tracking device that I asked you to create for Nelson, and find out where he has gone! " "Yes, Sir!" After getting a reply from Aaron, Culver made another phone call to the company. "Call the press and make an appointment for a press conference at three o'clock in the afternoon. I'll explain everything about this matter!" "For the stock market, just follow my orders." Marilyn looked at Culver, composed as ever, and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Although he was the same person he had always been, it had been sometime since she felt this way. He had returned to his former self. ...... Nelson sat on the railing along the river as he stared at the surface of the water in a daze. He did not even turn his head when he heard footsteps behind him
