My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 689

Eudora stood at the dining table downstairs and looked at the dishes in dismay.

She felt that she was the worst mother on earth.

She was too busy to attend to her children when they needed her in the past. Now, her children no longer needed her. It was probably karma.

Cindy noticed Eudora crying silently when she stepped into the kitchen.

The once beautiful and carefree Eudora had become so unhappy because of her children.

Cindy sighed, "Why don't I take the food and have Mr. Granger feed them to Sugar Bun? I'm sure he'll like them!"

"That way, you could cook for him in the future too!"

Eudora's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea. I'm sorry to trouble you then, Cindy."

Eudora was a bit flustered. She wanted to bring everything that she had prepared, but that was only so much space.

Cindy smiled and said, "Mrs. Granger, please calm down. It takes time for Sugar Bun to get close to anyone. You two will be fine in the future, I'm sure!"

Eudora nodded as she watched Cindy make her way up the stairs with the food in her hands.

A moment later, the crying in the room stopped. Eudora wanted to go upstairs and take a look, but she was afraid that Sugar Bun would cry again. She decided to suppress the urge instead. However, her heart was still filled with worry. She stood there in a daze for the entire morning.

Sugar Bun became less moody after having breakfast, so Amos took him to play on the swings in the garden.

Eudora composed herself and put on a gardener's outfit. She put on a big hat and peeked at them secretly from afar.

Fortunately, Sugar Bun seemed to have gotten used to her usual appearance, so he didn't notice her at all.

He eventually got accustomed to the gardener's presence as time passed.

It was just that....

The flowers seemed to be over-pruned, no? It was completely different from what he had seen in the past!

That really got him, and he started laughing happily.

Looking from far away, Eudora smiled as she thought that he was having a good time.

Juju turned around and saw the over-trimmed bushes, and she sighed in exasperation.

"Daddy, what should we do?"

Amos pursed his lips. "Get someone to replant them. I want those that haven't been trimmed before so that your Mommy could do it herself!" Juju was in disbelief.

They sat in the garden for the whole morning. They only went back inside when Sugar Bun started fussing for a nap.

Eudora took the opportunity to prepare toys for Sugar Bun to play with. She enjoyed doing it and she was not the least tired.

All of a sudden, she felt a pair of large hands reaching out to hold her from behind.

"Sweetheart, you've had a long day."

Eudora paused. She turned around and buried her head in Amos' chest. "You've worked hard as well! I was supposed to take care of all of you, yet I still needed you to help me to clean up the mess." Amos frowned. "What are you talking about? This is our home, and we are a family. It's natural for us to do this. Weren't you the one who told me that?"

Eudora was relieved. He was right.

A family should always be like this, to go through thick and thin together.

"Thank you, Amos."

Eudora suddenly had an idea. "I changed my clothes in the morning and Sugar Bun did not recognize me. Do you think that he would recognize me if I had worn a headgear?"

Amos was amused. It was amazing that she could manage to think of so many strange ideas.

"Do you want to give it a try?"

Eudora went to take out the wolf's mask that she had bought before and put on a red dress.

She also sprayed a different perfume on herself to avoid Sugar Bun recognizing her scent.

Eudora hid in one of the inconspicuous areas of the yard when the children were playing in the afternoon.

If everything went as planned, her son should not be able to recognize her. However, she was a little worried.

She was afraid to listen to the heartbreaking cry from the child.

She had sacrificed so much to bring this child to this world, yet, this child was so afraid of her...

Eudora took a deep breath. She was in a dilemma.

Amos had been looking at the person wearing the red dress outside the window, waiting for her to come in. However, she didn't move for a long time, and he could guess what was on her mind.

He knew her too well.

She was probably very sad now.

Amos pursed his lips and said all of a sudden, "Why don't we play a game?"

The two children looked at Amos, and Juju started giggling.

"Let's play a game with the red wolf, shall we?"

Juju was a smart kid. The moment she heard of the red wolf, she recalled the school activities that she had participated in with her mother.

She immediately clapped her hands to support him, "Okay! Sugar Bun, do you remember the little grey Mommy whom you are so fond of? Could I bring her to you?"

Sugar Bun still didn't know how to speak. He seemed to understand what they were talking but he still couldn't form words.

He could only mumble in response.

Juju stood up with a smile. She then pulled Eudora over, who had been hiding at the corner. "Mommy, it's time for you to go in!" Eudora held Juju's finger and took a deep breath.

She didn't dare to look directly into Sugar Bun's eyes. She was afraid that he would see through her disguise.

The little boy looked at the scene before him seriously. He probably didn't expect that there would be such a big red wolf in real life.

Anxiety filled Eudora's heart, and she was so scared that he would cry.

All of a sudden, the little fellow threw away the toys in his hands and chuckled.

Eudora almost couldn't hold back her tears when she heard his laughter.

She never knew that she would experience all kinds of emotions when she spent time with her children. At this moment, all she could feel was joy.

It was the first time that Eudora felt that time had passed so fast after spending the whole afternoon playing with her children.

She hoped that time would stop at that moment and that her child would not be afraid of her anymore.

However, time would stop for no one.

Sugar Bun gradually felt tired.

Eudora took off her mask and sighed as the cheers and laughter in the living room faded away.

After tucking the children to bed, Amos came downstairs and noticed Eudora kneeling on the carpet in the play zone, staring at the mask in a daze.

Her forehead was covered in sweat, but she did not seem to notice it at all.

Her face was also stripped from color. Amos frowned in distress. He walked over and took her hand.

"Eudora, you..."

She turned to him happily. "Amos, did you see that? He is not afraid of me anymore. I can play with him now!"

Amos's heart clenched. He nodded so as to not disappoint her.

"Yes, my Eudora, you are amazing."

"No, I'm not amazing at all, but I'll work harder. I believe that Sugar Bun will come to like me one day!"

Amos pulled her into his arms.

It seemed that this woman was going to make him worry all the time.

However, he was also very proud of her.
