My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 799
Eudora was lost in thought.
Suddenly, Juju asked, "Mom, what are you thinking about? Did something happen at work today?"
Eudora snapped back to reality and shook her head.
"No! I'm just a little tired."
"Mom, why don't you lie down and rest? I'll give you a massage, okay?"
Eudora wanted to refuse, but Juju's own small hand was already grabbing her own.
"Mom, come sit down!"
Eudora sat down in front of Juju, and she started massaging Eudora's shoulders with her small hands. Truth be told, Juju did not have much strength, so she could not really feel much from the massage.
However, Eudora was touched by her daughter's thoughtfulness. Juju was just too obedient.
While she was young, she had already witnessed the joys and sorrows between
Eudora and Amos' relationship. Therefore, she had a developed mindset and was independent and strong.
Eudora's heart ached. She reached out her hand to grab Juju's fingers.
"I feel much better already. That's enough already, Juju."
Juju shook her head, "No, I've just started the massage! I read a book which said that a massage takes at least ten minutes for you to feel more comfortable. Mom, don't worry. I will take good care of you!" Eudora's nose twitched as she hugged Juju in her arms.
"Thank you, Juju. I really feel much better already. You can rest now!"
Only then did Juju nod, "Okay! Then, have a good rest, Mom. I'm going to play with Auntie Tina!"
"Okay! Go have fun!" Eudora's gaze followed Juju's back as it disappeared outside the door.
After that, she took out her phone to call Leslie.
"I won't agree to let you mentor Juju. I'll take care of my own child. As for what I've promised you before, give me a little more time, and I'll fulfill it!"
Leslie did not refute her and just said lightly, "Don't make me wait too long. I don't like waiting."
After she hung up on the call, Gordon came in.
"Why are you lying down as soon as you've come back? That isn't good for your health. My daughter has said that exercise is the key to a good life. You should exercise more so that you can be as strong as me!"
As he said that, he grabbed Eudora's hand and brought her out to exercise.
In the evening, when Eudora was done bathing, she saw that Juju and Sugar Bun had already fallen asleep.
The two children were snuggled up to each other, which made the scene warm and loving.
Eudora was lacking as a mother because she had too many things to handle. Hence, Juju had learned how to take care of everything, especially her younger brother.
It was the same with Sugar Bun. He would always cling onto his sister for everything.
Under Eudora's gaze, Sugar Bun opened his mouth and mumbled, "Juju..."
Eudora felt gratified and laid down beside the two children.
She had been exhausted during the day, so she slept soundly at night. When she woke up the next morning, the sky was already bright. Fortunately, there was nothing to take care of anymore. Eudora slowly got up, washed up, and then went out.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Gordon coming in from outside. Usually, Gordon would be happy to see her, but the old man had an impassive face and looked angry at the moment. He walked past her without saying a word.
Eudora was bewildered. What was going on?
In the yard, Tina was playing with Sugar Bun on the swings. Eudora walked over and clapped her hands at Sugar Bun, "Good morning, Sugar Bun!"
Eudora was even more confused when she saw how low-spirited Sugar Bun was.
When she looked around, she noticed that someone was missing in the yard.
Juju and Sugar Bun were inseparable! Why was Juju missing today?
Eudora's heart sank and she hurriedly asked, "Where's Juju?"
Upon hearing Eudora mention Juju, Sugar Bun, who was already feeling down, burst into
tears.
Eudora was immediately thrown into a panic and became even more anxious.
"What's the matter? Where's Juju? Did something happen?"
She was scared! She could not withstand anymore hardships at the moment. If anything happened to Juju, she would break down completely.
Tina shook her head, flustered when she saw how nervous Eudora was.
"It's not what you think. Don't be too nervous. Juju has just gone out with Charlie!"
Eudora shook her head, "You're lying. Why would she go out with Charlie for no reason?"
"It's true!" Tina said, "You were in a bad mood when you came back yesterday. Juju, that sensible child, noticed that. When she woke up this morning, she had gone looking for Charlie. Then, she told Sugar Bun that she was leaving for a while. She even reminded us to not wake you up. As for what's going on, I'm not sure about the details. However, Juju reminded me to not worry, and that everything would be alright. Eudora, what's Juju trying to do?"
Eudora's heart sank, "Giant Star Group."
She really did not expect this outcome. Juju
was obviously still a child, so how could she be so smart and considerate?
She had completely figured out what was going on in Eudora's mind.
She must have asked Charlie about Eudora's deal with Leslie. She did not want Eudora to worry, so Juju had gone there by herself.
Thinking of that, Eudora hurriedly ran out with the car keys.
"I'll go bring her back."
As soon as Eudora arrived at the Giant Star Group, she saw Charlie standing there like a statue.
When he saw Eudora, he opened his mouth and said, "Mrs. Granger, I'm sorry..."
Eudora did not have the time to talk about that right now. She quickly asked, "Where's Juju?"
"She's inside. Mr. Clarke has already asked her to stay. However, I'm still worried, so I stayed back. I'm hoping that she'll go back with me on her own will."
On her own will?
Juju was a stubborn child. It was unlikely for her to go back with them willingly.
Thinking of that, Eudora immediately went
forward and said, "I want to see Leslie Clarke!"
The person at the door stopped her, "Mr. Clarke has said that he has something important to do today. He will not meet with anyone without an appointment."
"I'm Juju's mother. My daughter is inside. I have to go in."
"Miss, please don't make things difficult for us."
Eudora's tone became solemn, "Have you all forgotten? Mr. Clarke had already handed the organization over to me before this. I'm your future leader. If you don't listen to me now, I won't be easy on you later onwards."
The man said righteously, "We will only listen to our current leader!"
Eudora was speechless.
While they were arguing, Leslie's assistant, Raymond came out from inside, "Let Miss George in."
Only then did the two of them let Eudora in.
"Where's my daughter?" Eudora asked anxiously.
Raymond said, "Mr. Clarke knows why you're here. Since she's already here, he won't send her back so easily. He's allowing you to just take a look at your daughter. She will be fine here. He'll take good care of her. For Mr. Holt's sake, he won't make things difficult for the child either."
He continued, "What he wants is for the organization to be passed down forever. He really doesn't care what the organization does in the future."
Eudora's face remained impassive as she said, "Take me to my daughter."
