My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 581

In order to give Eudora and Fabian a chance to get along with each other, Tyler rode in another car.

Fabian was driving, while Eudora sat in the back seat with her two children.

Sugar Bun fell asleep after getting into the car, but Juju, on the other hand, was still full of energy.

She kept chatting with Fabian, saying that she wanted to go fishing.

Juju and Fabian had already become close when they finally arrived. Eudora was confused and she muttered under her breath, "Who did this child take after?"

Amos did not seem like a person who liked to interact with people. She was the same too!

At this moment, Malcom and the others also came.

Malcom felt a little uneasy when he heard that Eudora was going to bring her two children along. However, Juju kept addressing him as Uncle Malcom while Sugar Bun was smiling so innocently and cutely at him.

Malcom's old heart, which had been lonely for decades, finally couldn't bear it and it almost melted.

He wished that the two children were from the Nolan family so that he could feel the joy of family harmony. However, Tyler held Sugar Bun in his arms and showed it off in front of him. "Look at this child. He's going to be the Holt family's future heir!"

Malcom was filled with envy, dissatisfaction, and hatred. He couldn't help but tug on Fabian and said, "You brat, hurry up and get Eudora to marry you and have kids. I can't wait to have grandchildren!" Fabian smacked his forehead. "I'll try my best!"

After settling down, Fabian kept his promise and took Eudora and the children to go fishing.

The two elders came along as well. However, they had been fighting with each other for a long time. When they arrived, they each took a bet to compete on who could catch bigger and more fish. New rounds of matches kept starting.

Eudora went to prepare a smaller fishing rod as Juju wanted to fish. Juju stood next to her obediently, carrying Sugar Bun in her arms.

Putting away his fishing rod, Fabian walked over and clapped his hands at Sugar Bun.

"Sugar Bun, can I hold you?"

Sugar Bun seemed to smile at everyone except Fabian. He became somehow restless when it came to Fabian. If Fabian were to say a few more words, Sugar Bun would start pursing his lips and he would look like he was about to cry.

Eudora carried Sugar Bun hurriedly. "I'm sorry, he's afraid of strangers."

Fabian withdrew his hand awkwardly. He was fine when he was in the Holt Manor, so how did it end up like this all of a sudden?

Juju gave her younger brother a thumbs-up from a place that no one would notice.

Well done, Sugar Bun!

Fabian didn't leave immediately after being rejected by Sugar Bun. He ordered a waiter to bring some snacks over.

"Are you hungry? Have some snacks. I've already instructed the waiters here to prepare them according to the flavors you like!"

Juju was speechless. She thought, "Daddy! This uncle here is such an expert in flattery while you're still busy arguing with Mommy! If you were to continue being stubborn, Mommy will surely be taken away sooner or later!"

No, this won't do!

Juju rolled her eyes and walked over with a smile.

"Uncle, shall we compete? If you win, I will take Sugar Bun away and let you and Mommy spend time together! If you lose, Mommy is allowed to accompany only me and Sugar Bun. You can't take Mommy away from me."

Fabian raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to compete with me?"

Juju nodded. "Why can't I? Are we not equal?"

A six-year-old kid was actually talking about equality with an adult like him. Fabian was a little curious, and he thought the situation was a little funny.

"Are you sure?"

Juju nodded firmly. "Uncle, if you think that it's unfair, then you could always go easy on me!"

Eudora smacked her forehead with her hand. "Juju!"

Juju was still very quick-witted. Her eyes were gleaming. "Uncle, don't tell me you are not going to give in? Or... are you worried that you won't be able to snatch Mommy away from me?"

Juju's words seemed harmless, but after listening carefully, one would clearly sense that she was hinting that Fabian was worried that he wouldn't be able to win Eudora's heart.

How could a man like Fabian admit defeat? He nodded at once.

"Sure. Just tell me how much you want me to give in."

Juju immediately smirked. "Uncle, you're the best. Then, let me have these big fish!"

She then took away all the fish that Fabian caught quickly.

Fabian was speechless.

However, he was still not afraid of competing with a child, so he quickly set up his fishing rod again and began fishing.

When he turned to look at Juju, he noticed that she was not in a hurry at all. She was taking her own sweet time and she did not seem at all anxious.

On the contrary, Eudora became worried. While Fabian was not paying attention, she scolded in a low voice, "Who allowed you to take the bet?"

Juju stretched her chubby little hand out and patted Eudora on the shoulder.

"Mommy, don't worry. I won't lose!"

Eudora didn't know what else to say.

She didn't think that Juju was going to win, but somehow, she quieted down.

The competition lasted for an entire hour, and Fabian's bucket already had more than half a bucket of big fish. On the other hand, there was only less than half in Juju's bucket. Fabian joked,

"Little girl, you're losing!"

However, Juju shook her head. "Uncle, we haven't said how we're going to decide the winner!"

Fabian looked at the fish he caught and knew that he would definitely win regardless if victory was to be decided according to the amount or weight.

He was very generous, "You are a child, so you get to decide."

This was what Juju had been waiting for. She immediately looked at Fabian with a smile.

"Uncle, you're indeed a gentleman. I like you very much, so I'll listen to you respectfully! Our teacher said that children should protect the environment. These little fish grew up in nature, and it's very bad for us to catch them. Therefore, I think that anyone who catches more should be punished!"

Fabian was dumbstruck.

Eudora covered her face. Juju was obviously cheating! As her mother, she felt a little embarrassed.

Fabian didn't care about winning or losing, but Fabian's assistant, who was following him, became a little unhappy and uttered,

"Miss Juju, aren't you being unfair?"

Juju's face immediately displayed a righteous look. "Uncle, are you saying that my teacher was wrong to tell us to protect the environment?" With the little girl looking at him with such a pure yet penetrating gaze, who could bear to say no?

Furthermore, as a man, he still needed to maintain his decorum.

Fabian had no choice but to smile. "Juju is right. I'm willing to take the bet and admit defeat, so I'll leave first. You guys please have fun." Juju broke into a smile at once. "Uncle, you're awesome!"

Fabian was speechless.

He didn't know why, but it didn't feel good at all when he received that compliment from that little girl...
