Eudora asked curiously, âWhat is it?â
Amos sighed, âWesley always liked you.â
Upon hearing this, Eudora was stunned and did not know how to react.
âReally?â She asked.
Amos nodded. At the same time, he felt like he was at a loss.
âI think youâre probably the only one in the world who is not aware about it! Wesley had always been very meticulous about this, so he made sure that you wouldnât notice.â
Eudora really did not notice as Wesley had always been so gentle and kind towards everyone in the household. How would she have thought otherwise?
âDid he tell you?â
Amos shook his head and explained to her, âOf course not, he wouldâve never told me. I discovered it myself. Truth be told, Wesley was very anxious when you encountered several dangerous situations previously. He was a good person!â
Eudora was silent for a while just thinking about what Amos had just told her. Now that she recalled everything, it did seem like Wesley had a little extra something in his gaze upon seeing herâ¦
After a long while, Eudora chuckled.
âYou should have told me earlier! I wouldâve thanked him in front of his grave just now!â
Amos was taken aback, âFor what?â
âTo thank him for liking me! He was such a good and excellent person! It was my honor to be liked by him!â
Amos felt relaxed when he saw how optimistically accepting she was.
âOkay, weâll thank him next time.â
Eudora nodded at that suggestion and leaned her head on Amosâs shoulder.
âWhat about you? Were you jealous when you found out that someone had a crush on me?â
Amos was taken aback and muttered, âOf course! I was a bit jealous back then. Though, I have to admit, after the accident happened and he shielded me with his life, I realized that I was just being too selfish and childish. Wesleyâs love is great, and I am not able to compare to that.â
Eudora was also slightly shocked after hearing what he said, âAlright, letâs go visit him more often from now on!â
Amos nodded, silently agreeing with what she said.
After she paused for a while, she asked, âHow about we name our school after Wesley?â
Amos was also thinking about that as well. The two of them smiled at each other, realizing that they had once again shared the same thoughts.
â¦
Half a year later, the school was finally ready!
In order to have Sugar Bun start school earlier, Amos was in a hurry. Hence, he found many construction workers to start working, speeding up the process.
Renovation was also carried out using environmentally friendly materials suitable for children. After it was completed, the students could immediately start their classes.
Coincidently, enrollment was open just in time for the second half of the schooling year.
As the vision of the school was to allow students to enjoy a happy education, not many students enrolled.
Eudora was slightly worried and voiced out her concerns, âMr. Granger, youâre going to lose money!â
However, Amos did not think so and assured her, âThe school was initially built for Sugar Bun, so it doesnât really matter how many students have enrolled. As long as they are happy, then itâs fine!â
Eudora pursed her lips. Oh well, as long as Amos was happy, she was fine!
However, she suddenly thought of the opening ceremony the next day and requested, âLet me cut the ribbon tomorrow! I want to be the special guest!â
Amos nodded and agreed, âOkay!â
â¦
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held the next day.
Although there were not many students who had signed up, many people came to the opening ceremony. Many of them had come for the sake of Valiant East!
There were also a lot of reporters at the ceremony. Of course, Amos did not want any of them to be there, but he had to give in since it was a request by Eudora!
She just wanted to do one thing.
At nine oâclock in the morning, the opening ceremony officially began. Eudora and Amos joined hands to reveal the name of the kindergarten: âWesley Kindergartenâ.
Everyone initially thought that the school would be named after Valiant East. However, why was it âWesley Kindergartenâ?
âWho is Wesley?â
For a moment, everyone was puzzled about this.
Only the bodyguards who had been following Amos secretly and protecting him, slowly lowered their heads. Their eyes were red-rimmed.
They had known Wesley for many years. As Wesley died trying to protect their boss, everyone respected him.
No one expected Amos to be constantly thinking of Wesley as well. This was why he decided to name the newly opened school after Wesley.
Some reporters immediately rushed forward and surrounded Amos and Eudora.
They started asking the two of them the question that was weighing on everyoneâs minds.
âExcuse me, who is Wesley? Is he a relative of yours?â
Eudora nodded as she remembered the first time she saw Wesley. Back then, he looked down on women and was especially unhappy with her.
After getting to know him, Eudora discovered that Wesley was actually a very gentle and thoughtful person.
Moreover, amongst all the bodyguards, Wesley was the only one who could bring up children well. Most kids liked him, and that only went to prove the type of person he was.
âYes, he is part of our family!â
The reporters were curious and asked, âMay we request for Mr. Wesley to greet everyone?â
Eudora nodded and looked up at the sky.
âHe must be watching us from above!â
The reporter was stunned and immediately apologized.
âIâm sorry, I did not know that he is not around anymore!â
Eudora shook her head and smiled, âItâs fine. We all know that although he is gone, he will always be with us. He left because of us and we will never forget him. Therefore, this school was named after him. In fact, this isnât the last, all the schools built by Valiant Ease will be named after him! I hope that all these children will be able to grow up like Wesley and inherit his spirit and soul.â
Life was short and difficult.
However, it must have been Eudoraâs stroke of luck to meet someone as loving as Wesley.
She was sure that Wesley would understand their intentions from heaven. He would definitely continue to watch upon them.
â¦
One month after the school officially opened, Sugar Bunâs condition was getting better.
As a result, when summer came, Eudora and Amos finally found an opportunity to go on a private date when the children left for school.
Amos said that he wanted to take Eudora to go shopping. It was only after they arrived that he smirked and revealed his romantic dating plans to her.
âGuess where we are now?â
Eudora looked around. This was the same demolished community where she had met Amos for the first time.
The place was in ruins back then, but it was later redeveloped.
Now, it was a busy commercial street with a large flow of tourists.
If Amos had not asked her, Eudora would not have remembered it at all.
âUnknowingly, weâve already been together for so many years!â Amos said in a low and deep voice.
âThatâs right!â Eudora sighed, feeling slightly emotional, âBack then, I was young, naive and stubborn! I wasnât afraid of anything at all!â
âNo!â Amos shook his head and smiled, âItâs called having the courage to rise up to oppression!â
Eudora could not hold back her laughter, âYouâre really the only one who knows how to cheer me up!â
They took a few more steps forward when Amos suddenly pointed to somewhere in front of them. He asked, âLook at that, do you still remember that?â
Eudora looked over and saw a lamp.
There was a large street lamp hanging above where Amos had pointed to. It was decorated antiquely, which was probably why it was preserved as part of culture.
Eudora was a little embarrassed and squeaked, âI donât want to look at it anymore. Letâs go home!â
However, Amos dragged her back and laughed, âWhy not? I plan to dismantle this street lamp and install it in our backyard so I can look at it every day!â
âYou wouldnât dare to!â Eudora gritted her teeth, âIf you dare, I swear Iâll ignore you!â
âAlright, alright! I wonât. Youâd better not ignore me!â Amos said with a playful smile.
