Tears were a magical thing. They could be held back, but there will be no control over them once they begin to fall.

Eudora held Juju in her arms, tears streaming down her cheeks.

At this moment, the sadness, grievance and tiredness she had been experiencing turned into tears that flowed down her cheeks. Juju pursed their lips tightly into a straight line and looked eerily similar to Amos. Her behavior was the same as her father's. She was motionless as Eudora held her in her arms and continued to cry.

The people who had been urging Eudora for favours exchanged glances with each other when they witnessed this.

"No, Miss. You have to sign my agreement first..."

"Get out!"

Juju roared suddenly. She covered Eudora's ears while glaring at those people sharply.

All of them initially assumed that Juju was no more but a six year old child. There was nothing for them to be afraid of.

However, her words and glares were a reflection of Tyler's elegant demeanor back in those days!

As expected of the Holt family's child!

Several people were so scared that they fell silent immediately and trotted out to wait instead. When Eudora was done venting her feelings, she wiped away her tears and looked at Juju.

"Sorry, I am an incompetent mom."

Juju shook her head. There was a hint of a smile on her tender face.

"Daddy said that everyone can be weak sometimes. Mommy, you are also a human, so why can't you be weak? You have me. When you're weak, I will definitely stand behind you and support you." Eudora felt emotional again. She managed to hold back her tears with great difficulty, but they were threatening to fall again.

Fortunately, she managed to control herself.

After calming down, Eudora realized, "Why are you here, Juju?"

"Who brought you here? Where's Sugar Bun?"

Juju's lips curved into a smile as she said, "Don't worry, Mommy. Sugar Bun is doing well because Uncle Wesley is taking care of him.

As for who brought me here, I'm sure you can guess!"

Eudora recalled Amos' familiar face and immediately fell silent.

Juju looked at Eudora curiously and asked, "Mommy, didn't you and Daddy make up already? Did you quarrel again?"

"Children like you won't understand the world of adults, so don't ask."

Juju pouted in dissatisfaction. She wanted to say something, but she remembered Amos' order asking her to take good care of Eudora. Hence, she decided to keep her word and stopped asking. With the Holt family's current situation, Eudora knew that this wasn't the time for her to act willfully. She calmed herself down, quickly called the people in, and continued to look through the documents. Juju had nothing to do, so she took a look around and quickly slipped out of the room.

The sky was already dark, and the whole yard was quiet with no signs of human activity. A small figure ran through the garden and out the gate.

When she gently pushed the door open, Juju poked her neck out and glanced around outside. Finally, her attention fell behind a bush and she called out softly. "Daddy!"

Upon hearing this, Amos walked out from behind the bushes.

He thought that Juju had encountered something bad, so he looked anxious and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Mommy?"

Juju shook her head and explained, "It's not that. Mommy is just very busy and there are a lot of people looking for her to sign documents. She's been so tired that she cried!" Amos frowned and snorted, "Who are they?"

"Daddy!" Juju interrupted him immediately, "Those are Mommy's subordinates, they're not bad guys..."

Amos was speechless.

Why did he feel that his daughter could see through his intentions at one glance?

He coughed softly, masking his awkwardness as he said, "Then why did you come out to look for me?"

Juju immediately giggled, "Mommy must have had nothing to eat since she's so busy. I wanted to cook for her, but I'm still too young. Daddy, can you come inside and help me cook?" Amos was naturally willing to do so, but...

"The Holt manor isn't a place I can go in as I wish! What's more, I'm afraid that your Mommy..."

She probably wouldn't want to see him now...

Juju's face was full of mischief as she smirked, "Daddy, this is a secret between you and me. Mommy won't replace out."

A moment later, a small figure walked in with a slightly taller figure. Juju made an excuse that she needed to cook by herself to drive all the people in the kitchen out. Then, Amos went in and began to make some porridge.

Eudora certainly hadn't eaten well for these past few days. Therefore, it wasn't suitable for her to eat any greasy food. Amos decided to make her an ordinary bowl of millet congee, which was good for both her stomach and her body.

After that, he took out some radishes and cucumbers, then mixed them in a bowl to make some salad. It would taste great with some bread and make a scrumptious dinner.

After everything was made, Amos took Juju to the living room and hid behind her as he looked into the room. As expected, all the people in the room were looking at Eudora eagerly.

Eudora had been scanning through the documents with her head down. Although he couldn't see her expression, he could feel her exhaustion at the moment.

Amos frowned. Juju, who was standing next to him, sighed again.

"Sigh! Mommy, you're working too hard!"

After that, she chuckled heartily, "Daddy, am I right?"

Amos reached out his hand and touched her nose, laughing, "You are so naughty! Don't think that Daddy doesn't know what you are thinking. You children will never understand adult affairs." Juju was quiet.

She pouted. It wasn't that she didn't understand, it was that her parents didn't want her to understand.

"Go ahead and bring the food in!" Amos sighed and said, "Tell your Mommy to eat more."

"Okay!" Juju responded, looking a little disappointed.

She originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to give her parents some time together. After all, Amos seemed really distressed after noticing Eudora working so hard.

But now, it seemed that she didn't succeed.

They kept saying that children didn't know about the world of adults! It seemed that they were really complicated!

After she waved to Amos, Juju walked in with a tray in her hands.

Eudora had finished reviewing the more urgent documents in her hands, and most of them had gone home gratefully. Hodge soon entered and suggested to everyone, "It's late, so everyone should go home now! If there's anything else, you can talk about it tomorrow!"

Eudora looked at their eager gazes and couldn't bear to let them wait for an entire night.

"Why don't you leave the documents here first? I'll finish reading them overnight. You can come and take them tomorrow morning!"

Everyone happily placed their documents down after hearing that and turned around to leave.

After everyone left, Juju placed the tray of food in front of Eudora. She announced, "Mommy, it's time to eat!"

Eudora paused for a moment and asked, "Did you get someone to make this?"

"No, Miss Juju did it herself!" Hodge chuckled, "Miss Juju said that no one was allowed to help!"

Eudora looked at Juju lovingly. Juju was still so young and she already knew how to cook.

Juju picked up the bowl of porridge and handed it to her, chiming, "Mommy, have a bite!" Eudora took a sip and a bite of the salad. Both dishes tasted very familiar. While she was still dazed, Juju asked with a grin, "Mommy, does it taste familiar?"
