Kesha just couldnât stand to see Eudora being doted on by Amos. There was a hint of jealousy in her tone.
Eudora had long seen through her. Although she didnât understand why she had started to change her target again especially since she was already in a relationship with Steven, she knew in her heart that she shouldnât underestimate Kesha.
Eudora sighed faintly before answering her, âYouâre right, Kesha. I donât think that itâs good to let him work for me like this too, but since my hubby insists on doing this for me, what could I do then?â
She was blatantly showing off.
Kesha almost choked in fury.
Felicia tried to smooth things over between them, âThatâs enough, Kesha. Letâs start the match.â
Kesha then picked up the kite and started to fly it. Even though she looked fine on the outside, she was chastising Eudora in her heart over and over again. She swore that she would prove to Eudora that she was a hundred times better than her sooner or later.
At this moment, Amos had flown the kite up successfully.
Eudoraâs kite wasnât one that was easy to fly. Eudora didnât expect that he would be able to actually fly it up by himself.
She got up hurriedly from her seat. Amos was already running towards her and pulling the kite behind him. He passed the line to her and asked with a smile, âWhat do you think?â
Eudora asked, clearly surprised, âWhen did you learn to fly a kite?â
She vaguely remembered that he was not that good at it before.
âI learned it after you left, hoping that I could fly it with you once youâre back here.â
His words seemed nothing out of the ordinary, but Eudora was deeply moved.
She could imagine how he looked like when he was flying the kite alone.
Tears welled up in her eyes. Amos reached out hurriedly to pat her head and sighed.
âIt seems that the little princess in your belly is going to be a crybaby.â
âAmos!â Eudora gritted her teeth.
âAlright!â
âMom, ours is flying up in the sky too!â Juju yelled from the side.
Gordon, together with Juju, had flown the kite high up to the sky.
Kesha looked at Eudora, then at Juju, and finally at her kite that she had failed to fly. She stomped her feet in frustration.
Felicia said quickly, âWeâve lost. What would you guys like to eat? Iâll go and fetch it.â
Eudora looked at Kesha and said, âWerenât you the one who had suggested the match? You should be the one to fetch it then. Donât transfer your punishment to someone else.â
Amosâs gaze was fixed on Eudora. He agreed casually, âEudoraâs right.â
Juju covered her face helplessly. Must her Daddy support her Mommy all the time? What happened to her cool and awesome Daddy?
However, it was obvious that Amos didnât care about that at all.
Kesha rolled her eyes and replied, âFine. Iâll go get you guys some drinks then.â
After that, she turned around and left.
Kesha came back a few moments later with a few bottles of mineral water. She saw that Amos was sitting alone as he watched Eudora fly the kite with a warm smile on his face.
Kesha immediately took a bottle and walked over to him, âA⦠President Granger, have some water!â
Amos ignored her. He walked past her to take another bottle of water on his own. âEudora, are you thirsty? Come and have a drink.â
Kesha was flabbergasted.
Amos was blatantly ignoring her.
Felicia turned around, only to see Kesha was standing there, her face fuming. She walked over promptly and took the water bottle from her hands, âIâm getting thirsty too.â
After that, she handed the kite line to Kesha and said, âFly it for a while. Iâm taking a break.â
Kesha was reluctant to take over, but when she noticed Amos taking the kite line from Eudoraâs hands, her determination was rekindled in an instant.
â¦
On the other side, Eudora, who had been playing for a while now was under Amosâ scrutiny. He felt that she must have been exhausted from running around.
Therefore, he took the kite line from her hand while she was drinking the water that he handed over to her.
Eudora reminded him, âDonât you dare drop my kite! Look at how high itâs flying!â
Amos looked at her helplessly, âOkay.â
Kesha approached them when they were still having a conversation, Suddenly, she cried out, âOh no!â
âMy kite!â
Amos looked over and he noticed that Keshaâs kite was already out of control. It was currently flying towards his kite.
Eudoraâs words echoed in his mind, âDonât you dare drop my kite!â
Amos took a few quick steps forward rapidly and began to shorten the line.
There was a huge slope in front of him. It would be very dangerous for him to run in that direction. Eudora shouted hurriedly, âAmos, leave the kiteâ¦â
However, he had already run off.
Eudora turned to look at Kesha. She had been enduring her antics for too long, especially everything she had done throughout the evening.
This time, Kesha had done something that could actually bring harm to Amos just to get her kite entangled with his.
It was the final straw. Eudora finally snapped as she slapped Kesha on the face.
Slap!
Eudora gritted her teeth and warned, âKesha, if something happens to Amos, youâre done!â
After that, she ran down the slope. The sky was already getting dark.
Eudora was anxious. She shouted as she walked down the slope, âAmosâ¦â
However, she was met with silence even after shouting a few times. She became increasingly worried.
Eudora quickened her pace. She sniffled. Just as she was about to move forward, she was pulled into a broad embrace.
âLook, your kite is still high up in the sky.â
Eudora froze and her heart ached, âYou id*ot, do you really think that a kite is more important than your safety? Itâs just a kite. It doesnât matter if it falls to the ground. Why did you care so much about it?â
Amos chuckled. âAs long as it belongs to you, Iâll make sure to take good care of it.â
Eudora couldnât help but punch him on his chest. He winced.
Although it was a very faint sound, Eudora could still hear it clearly. Her heart jolted. âDid you get hurt?â
âIâm fine. Itâs just a little scratch.â
âWhat do you mean âfineâ? Come with me.â
Gordon and Juju, who were on the top of the slope, ran over as soon as they heard their voices. Needless to say, they didnât have the mood to fly the kites anymore. All of them went home in a hurry.
They noticed that Amosâ arm was bleeding under the light. He had lost his balance and tripped when he was trying to keep the kite in the sky. He did not notice how steep the slope was.
Gordon called out to Felicia, âQuick, fetch the first aid kit.â
Fortunately, the wound wasnât deep. Eudora helped to disinfect and bandage his wound.
The sky soon turned dark, and Clint arrived with Amosâ clothes. Eudora then left to give Juju a bath.
Kesha watched as Amos entered Eudoraâs bedroom alone. She straightened her clothes swiftly and caught up with him.
She sneaked into the room just before Amos closed the door.
