As they watched, Eudora suddenly turned around and looked at them both in the eye!
âIâm not playing anymore. They are laughing at me.â
She knew that they would laugh at her.
Charlie and Wesley instantly tightened their lips, âMadam, there must be a mistake. We are professionally trained and we would never laugh unless we couldnât contain it anymore!â
Eudora was flustered.
Didnât that mean that they couldnât hold their laughter in just now? Didnât that mean that they were laughing at her then?
Eudora was very upset. Before she could speak, Amos was already one step ahead of her, âYou two, run ten laps around the front yard!â
Both Charlie and Wesley were shocked.
Mr. Granger had gotten crazily protective of his wife! However, they wouldnât dare to disobey his order.
They just nodded compliantly, turned around, and went for a run.
After the two of them left, Amos took Eudora back into his arms and said, âListen to me, okay?â
Eudora pursed her lips in frustration and finally acquiesced to avoid having her freedom taken away further.
Amos was right. Although it was a toy gun, it was built to mimic an actual one. Hence, when she used it, the grip still felt very decent and it still was addictive to shoot with.
Eudora gradually accepted the toy gun and became a little addicted to it after practicing a few times with it.
Finally, as she was about to shoot for the tenth time, Amos held her hand.
âLetâs call it a day. Youâve been playing for quite some time. Weâd better leave now.â
âI still want to play. Can I?â Eudora was reluctant to part with it.
âNo!â Amos quirked an eyebrow, and the next thing he saw was Eudoraâs pouted lips. Ever since she lost her memory, she had become a little childish, especially now that she was pregnant. He didnât know if it was the estrogen effect or that she had gotten really good at being coquettish.
Amos could do nothing in the face of her coquetry.
âThree more times then!â
âFive!â
âThree times! Donât try to bargain further!â
Eudora knew that Amos would rarely give in. Hence, she could only nod her head reluctantly, âThen, I donât want you to help me with these three shots. Iâll do it myself.â
Amos noticed that she was fine after practicing so many times. He nodded his head and said, âOkay.â
He released his grip and stood one meter away from Eudora, ready to protect her if needed. He looked just like a lion that was ready to protect its cubs.
Juju observed them silently from the shooting range. Then, she took another look at her tightly-protected Mom. For the first time in her life, she doubted that she was their own biological childâ¦
With a frown, Juju put aside the gun and walked over.
âDaddy, could I tell you something?â
Amos nodded, his eyes never leaving Eudora, âGo ahead.â
Juju rolled her eyes before saying wryly, âDaddy, could I extend my practice time? I would like to practice longer.â
Amos didnât pay much attention to her and merely nodded subconsciously.
âThank you, Daddy!â Juju cried out happily. The next second, Amos suddenly pulled her back, âWhat did you just say?â
Juju immediately looked at Amos with vigilance, âDaddy, youâve promised. You canât go back on your own words!â
âI didnât hear it clearly, so it doesnât count.â
Juju was speechless.
She grabbed Amosâ arm frantically and shook it hard. It turned out that Juju and Eudora were indeed mother and daughter. Even their flirting tactics were exactly the same!
However, Amos still shook his head firmly, âNo! Youâve already spent too much time practicing every day. Your arms will be sore if you practice for too long!â
Juju pleaded for a long time, but Amos wouldnât concede. Glaring at her Mommy, who was having a good time, she eventually let go of Amosâ hand.
âHmph, Daddy, you are biased. Why did you allow Mommy to do it then? Why does her pettish behavior work on you?â
Amos raised his eyebrows, âThatâs because she is your Mommy.â
Juju was dumbfounded.
Amos was shocked by Jujuâs jealousy. She looked like a young bachelorette as she wrapped her arms around herself, feeling wronged.
He figured that it was about time. Hence, he went over to Eudora and took the gun away, âOkay, you must put the gun down now! If you feel bored, you could go for a walk around the garden. High-intensity activities are not ideal for you at this moment.â
Eudora sighed. She had no choice but to leave with Amos.
â¦
At the same time, in Keshaâs apartment.
Steven was sitting on the couch with tensed eyebrows on his face.
Kesha came out with a bottle of red wine in her hand. She shook it slowly and took a sip before bringing her lips over to Stevenâs.
Steven used to cherish these intimate moments with Kesha, but at this moment, he quickly turned his head.
âStop it. Iâm feeling upset.â
Kesha gulped down the red wine, set down the glass, and slowly massaged Stevenâs temples.
âHow did your visit to those old men?â
Steven became irritable the moment she brought the topic up.
âIâm really annoyed. Those d*mned old men used to flatter me nonstop. Now, when I need their help to vote in my favor, all they gave me were excuses. They were either busy or having some family issues to attend to. When I finally got an appointment, he told me that he only had ten minutes to spare and he even left before I could finish my words! D*mn, I should have sacked the entire board of directors when Amos left.â
Keshaâs finger paused. In fact, she was anxious too, but she also knew that Steven was already pretty frustrated. Therefore, he wouldnât listen much to what she had to say.
She could only lower her voice, âDonât worry, there will always be a way!â
Steven composed himself and slowly closed his eyes. All of a sudden, his phone rang. He immediately picked it up and answered it.
It was Stevenâs assistant on the other end, and he sounded anxious.
âPresident Granger, bad news! We just heard that Bethany has contacted a few senior executives. They are having a meal at the Rosaville City Hotel right now! We are definitely going to lose this time!â
Steven was shocked, âHow is that possible? Arenât those old men all snobbish and arrogant? How could they think so highly of that woman when they looked down upon me? Look into this matter and find out what is it all about.â
The assistant was a little afraid after getting scolded by Steven recently. Therefore, he made up some random excuse in order to dodge Stevenâs scolding.
âCould it be because of Amos? Didnât Bethany agree to a partnership with him the last time?â
Steven threw his phone before his assistant could finish his sentence.
With a bang, the phone was smashed to the ground. Kesha was shocked, âSteven, Whatâ¦â
âDidnât you say that youâve taken care of the matters on Amosâ side? Why is he still opposing me then? Why is that old b*tch so hard to deal with?â
Kesha frowned, âNo way! Iâve already confirmed that Amos has been making appointments with a lot of doctors at his house lately. He should be arguing with Eudora right now. Why did things turn out this way?â
âWhy are you asking me this? How am I supposed to know when even you didnât know about it?â
