Eudora was really worried about Juju. When she was kidnapped by Wendy previously, it traumatized her, and it took her some time to recover.
It would be bad if her children's mental health was affected by her and Amos' divorce.
Therefore, Eudora had been thinking about ways to talk to Juju about it when she went to look for her.
To put it in a way that wouldn't hurt her so much.
At the same time, Juju was sitting alone by the river, looking at the surface of the lake. On one hand, she was blaming Sugar Bun for being too silly, while on the other hand, she was praising herself for doing a good job.
She even made a phone call to report to Wesley about her situation.
"Uncle Wesley, I followed your suggestions, and I even used your trick at the critical moment. It seems that it really worked!"
Wesley smiled and said, "That's good. What are you going to do next?"
"Of course, I'm gonna mess up the marriage between Mommy and Mr. Nolan! Otherwise, I'll have another father. I don't want two Daddys!"
Wesley pursed his lips helplessly. "Don't go too far!"
"Yes, sir!" Juju smiled.
In fact, she had changed her opinion of her mother because of Uncle Wesley's analysis and after receiving a silent phone call the other day.
When she told Uncle Wesley about the phone call, he helped her analyze the situation thoroughly. He felt that there was a reason why Eudora was acting like this.
That was why she was prepared to take the risk this time.
At this moment, footsteps could be heard coming from behind her. Juju quickly hung up the phone, adjusted her expression, and sat there sighing again.
Eudora walked over and sat down beside Juju. "I'm sorry, Mommy shouldn't have chased you away."
In fact, Juju's heart ached the most when it came to her Mommy. When Eudora chased after her, she wasn't angry at all. However, she still didn't say a word. She had to keep the pretense up until the very end.
Eudora sighed, "You may not know this, Juju, but adults have a lot of things that are not as simple as a child's thinking. But I hope you will remember that no matter what happens, I love you the most."
Juju's heart stirred. "Mommy, do you have your reasons for doing this?"
Eudora didn't expect Juju to ask such a sensitive question, and her heart skipped a beat. She immediately shook her head. "No!"
Juju frowned. From the looks of it, Mommy really did have her reasons.
Eudora had been protecting her for so long. This time, it was her turn to protect her Mommy.
"Mommy, I'm not mad anymore. Don't worry!"
Juju said with a smile.
When she saw her daughter's innocent smile again, Eudora was relieved, but her nose was twitching. She sniffed hurriedly, not wanting to show weakness in front of Juju.
"Then... Mommy agreed to let you and Sugar Bun stay here for a few days. After that, you must go back to your Daddy's, okay?"
Juju nodded and agreed, "Okay!"
Because of the arrival of the two children, the household became pretty lively at night. Tyler ordered the servants to take all the toys that had been stashed away in the attic for more than a decade.
There were toys for both boys and girls.
Juju and Sugar Bun were playing with them while Tyler watched from the side with all smiles on his face.
At this moment, he looked like a grandfather.
When Eudora came out of the kitchen and saw this scene, she couldn't help but be a little curious.
However, Eudora was worried that the children would end up making a fuss, so she decided to take care of them herself.
Eudora usually didn't have to worry about Juju as she had always been a sensible child. Although Sugar Bun was still young, he was a very well-behaved child and he would sleep whenever he was full. There was basically no problem.
As the two children fell asleep next to her, Eudora looked at the two little figures basked in the moonlight.
Because of them, the originally empty room became crowded all of a sudden.
Even the air was filled with the sweet smell of the two children. Eudora took a deep breath, and for the first time since coming back here, she had a good night's sleep.
Eudora woke up naturally the next day. As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard the squeaking sound made by Sugar Bun beside her.
Then came Juju's warning in a low voice.
"Hush, don't wake Mommy up..."
Eudora felt a surge of warmth in her chest, and her heart instantly softened.
She opened her eyes and smiled at the two children. "Good morning."
When Juju saw that she had woken up, she threw herself at Eudora with a smile. "Mommy, you're awake. Good morning."
Eudora stretched her hand out to touch Sugar Bun's belly. "Sugar Bun must be hungry. I'll go down and prepare something delicious for you two!"
The two children wanted to follow her, so Eudora also took them with her.
As soon as she arrived at the stairway, she saw an uninvited guest in the house.
Fabian was chatting with Tyler in the living room, who then extended an invitation, "It's my father's birthday party. He likes Eudora very much, so he wants to invite Eudora to stay over at our place for a few days."
Eudora frowned. Fabian obviously didn't invite her to stay for just a few days, did he?
