A week later, Naomi was discharged from the hospital.
While she changed her clothes, Eudora helped Naomi to pack her things.
"Your dad won't be coming to pick you up today. My guess is that someone must be coming to pick you up!"
Naomi pursed her lips, "Mom..."
"All right, don't be shy! I won't bother you anymore. I plan to go shopping with your dad later! We'll be back in the evening."
After that, she placed Naomi's belongings on the table and announced.
"I'm leaving!"
Naomi looked at Eudora suspiciously, but she did not react until Eudora was at the door.
"Mom... What do you mean?"
Eudora turned around and blinked at her. Naomi's face lit up with joy.
"Have you and dad both agree to me officially being with Nelson?"
Eudora's expression was mysterious as she shrugged, "Hey, I didn't say anything!" "You've said it, you did! Thank you, Mom!"
"Why thank me? I did not do anything!"
"I need to thank Dad too! I love both of you!"
Eudora sighed and teased, "Are you suggesting that if we didn't agree to the two of you being together, you wouldn't love me?"
"Of course not! Even if you didn't agree, I will still love you. But now, I love you even more!"
Eudora raised an eyebrow at Naomi before saying, "Okay, enough with your sweet talk. You're even better at it than me!"
While they talked, someone came in from the door.
Nelson had overheard the conversation between the two and was pleasantly surprised.
"Mrs. Granger, this..."
Eudora smiled as she glanced at him before asking, "You're still calling me Mrs. Granger?"
"Oh, Auntie."
"I'll accept that! Naomi has just been discharged from the hospital, so I'll leave her in your care. I'm leaving!"
With that, Eudora left.
Only Naomi and Nelson were left in the room. The
two of them smiled happily like fools.
It was not until Nelson held her in his arms that she put her fingers into her mouth and bit down on them.
"Ow! Well, this is not a dream!"
Nelson held her fingers and said tenderly, "You silly girl! There's bite marks on your finger now!"
"It's fine, seriously. Nelson, it's true! We really can be together!"
"Yeah, it's true!" Nelson smiled. He gazed right into her eyes that were full of hope and anticipation. They gleamed brightly, and were his ray of sunshine.
"We'll definitely be happy together!"
"Okay!" Naomi beamed.
Downstairs, Amos had been waiting for Eudora for quite some time.
When he saw her come out, he looked pretty annoyed.
"Did that brat come to take care of Naomi?"
Eudora smirked suggestively and asked, "Didn't you see everything from here? Why are you still asking me then?"
Amos scoffed and rolled his eyes, "What did I see?
I did not see anything!"
It was rare for him to act so childishly, so Eudora could not help but snicker.
"Now that I'm looking at you, do you want to know what vibe you're giving off?"
"What?" Amos was curious to know.
"On the internet, it is said that all fathers-in-law look at their son-in-laws as if they're good-for-nothings!"
"What do you mean?" The serious Amos once again had no idea what Eudora was saying!
"In other words... they're just angry at how their precious daughters have been snatched away so easily!"
Amos was speechless.
When he saw Eudora's happy smile, he could not help but reach out and pull her into his arms.
"Why do I feel like you're secretly insulting me? Did your father think of me like that before?"
Eudora was momentarily shocked before suggesting, "That's hard to say! It might be true! No matter how good the good son-in-law is,the father- in- law will always try to find fault with them."
