My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 266

At the Granger family's mansion in the evening.

The assistant was pushing the Old Master Granger to the entrance. The Old Master was holding a treasure in his hand and there was a hint of smile on his face.

The two of them found a place near the door and halted their steps. The assistant reached out and said, "Old Master, let me help you take it!"

Old Master Granger immediately turned his head away like a child, "I won't give it to you."

The assistant was at a loss for words.

Well, since the Old Master refused to give it to him, then so be it.

The assistant stood up again and waited with Old Master Granger.

The sun was about to set but no one seemed to have come back.

Old Master Granger frowned, "Are they really busy today? Why isn't anyone back yet?"

The assistant said hurriedly, "No one's back yet. Old Master, why don't you go back to the living room? I'll wait here instead."

"There's no need for that!" Old Master Granger turned his head away again.

The assistant took a few steps back silently and he decided not to speak or suggest anything anymore. A moment later, they could hear the sound of a car engine roaring from the entrance. It seemed that someone had just come home. The old man looked at the thing in his hand and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He immediately turned around to glance at his assistant and indicated for him to take the box.

The assistant thought that the Old Master was testing him, hence he stood there motionlessly, determined not to do anything.

The Old Master Granger signaled to the assistant several times but to no avail. He finally gnashed his teeth in anger, "Aren't you going to take this?"

The assistant was speechless. He did not understand why everything seemed to be his fault.

At this moment, Eudora George and Amos Granger had just come home with Juju.

The old man immediately turned around to pinch the flowers next to him and study them carefully.

The assistant thought that the Old Master was so dishonest with his true feelings.

As the three of them got closer, Amos let out a light call, "Dad!"

Old Master Granger nodded to him as usual but he kept looking at Juju from the corner of his eyes. Would Juju throw herself into his arms and call him Grandpa once she sees the gift? He had never enjoyed such joy before.

However, as he was still immersed in his imagination, the three of them were about to walk away. The old man did not say a word.

He could not care less about his pride anymore and he called out to Juju hurriedly.

"Little girl, do you still remember when Grandpa said about giving you a present?"

Juju was taken aback and she immediately stopped.

The old man waved his hand at the assistant, "Show Juju the present. Let's see if she likes it."

The assistant quickly stretched his hand out and presented the gift that had been caressed by the Old Master for the whole day. "Juju, this is prepared for you by the Old Master..."

Juju immediately came over and looked at the simple black box with her big shining eyes.

Eudora remembered that the Old Master seemed to have promised to buy a gun for Juju... This could not be a real gun, could it? She immediately cast a worried glance at Amos, who was watching the scene calmly.

"Open it and have a look?" the Old Master said.

Juju immediately opened the lid with a smile. A very small black gun lay in the box. It looked stylish and cool.

Sure enough...

Just as Eudora was about to say that children should not play with such dangerous things, Juju had already reached out to pick up the gun.

The body of the gun was custom-made and it was made from a relatively light material. Even a child like Juju was able to pick it up with ease.

Juju held the gun in her hands and made a few very accurate movements with it. The Old Master was very excited, "I knew that I was right. This girl really is a child of the Granger family." Eudora was utterly speechless. "Old Master, is it not too dangerous for children to play with this?"

The Old Master waved his hand, "No, how could it be dangerous? Furthermore, it seems that Juju likes it very much!"

"That's still not right!" Eudora was getting a little angry, "I don't care what you think, but she is just a kid. You may not care if she would hurt herself, but what if she hurts someone else?" The old man was anxious, "Do you think that the Granger family couldn't solve these problems?"

Eudora was speechless. "I know that you could solve the problem but have you ever thought about anyone else? What should we do in case of an accident?"

No one dared to talk to the old man like that in the house apart from Amos. The assistant next to the Old Master shivered as he heard the conversation.

The old man was a little angry, "What? Do you have a problem with me giving my granddaughter a present? Can't you see how much she likes it?"

"So what? Juju is my child," Eudora insisted. She could not possibly let her five-year-old daughter to play with this kind of toy.

She was about to take it away from Juju. Juju was playing with it happily. How could she bear to part with it already? She pleaded pitifully, "Mommy, I'll only play with it for a while..."

"No!" Eudora was very determined. She did not want anything dangerous to be around Juju for even a mere minute.

Noticing that Juju was reluctant to give it to her, Eudora snatched the gun away from Juju. The Old Master was furious and he exclaimed, "Stop! Amos, didn't you do the same when you were a child? What's wrong with it? You can train the child from young. Besides, Juju is not an ignorant child. I believe that she also understands what is right and what is wrong."

After that, he turned to Amos and said, "Tell her! You're a man. You should understand."

Amos pursed his lips. Even Juju was giving him an expectant look.

She really wanted to listen to her Mommy but she also liked the gun a lot. She wanted to keep it.

Amos' gaze lingered on Juju for a second and finally returned to Eudora. She was so worried that her eyes were slightly red.

In a split second, Amos held her hand and said, "It's true that children shouldn't play with such a dangerous thing. Give me the gun!"

Before Juju could react, Amos had already taken the gun away.

Juju could not accept that her gift was taken away so she immediately ran off. Eudora chased after her hurriedly. After the two of them ran away, the old man glared at Amos exasperatedly.

"You've done a lot of absurd things in the past but now you're telling me that children shouldn't play with this!"

Amos pursed his lips, "How I used to be is my own business but I would not allow my woman to be unhappy."

The old man was so angry that he leaned back, "I told you that the woman is..."

Before the Old Master could finish his sentence, Amos had eyed him with displeasure and interrupted him, "If you say it, you will violate our original agreement..."

The Old Master's words were stuck in his throat.

He then changed his tone and said, "Okay, I won't say anything. Give me the gun."

"No!" Amos declined. "This belongs to my daughter. As her guardian, I have the right to keep it for her. When she reaches a suitable age, I will hand it over to her!" After that, he glanced at the assistant, "Take the Old Master back to rest."

The old man was rendered speechless.

After everyone in the yard left, Bethany Hamilton led Vincent Granger into the house. She stared at the direction that they left and she sighed faintly.
