After Amos got home in the evening, he went to find Eudora as usual.
He happened to bump into Charlie, who was in the house that day. Charlie said, "Mr. Granger, Madam is in the yard!"
Although he was already used to looking for Eudora as soon as he returned home, he still felt a little embarrassed to show his attachment to his wife in front of his subordinates.
After all, he still had some dignity to preserve.
"I-I'm not looking for her!"
Charlie nodded straightforwardly and asked, "Oh, okay! Mr. Granger, what are you looking for then? I'll help you."
"No, thanks. I'm going upstairs to read."
After that, he pretended to go upstairs.
He had only taken a few steps up the stairs before he stopped to look back. Charlie was still standing there.
Seeing that he stopped walking, Charlie asked, "Mr. Granger, what can I do for you?"
Amos furrowed his brow tightly and replied, "It's nothing."
After Amos left, Cindy couldn't help but come over and pinch Charlie in the finger.
"You're an idiot."
Puzzled, Charlie asked, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Granger was going to look for Madam just now, but he became embarrassed and changed his mind after you pointed it out."
Charlie was mystified.
"Well, if he comes down later, don't mess things up again. Just let him save face, okay?"
Charlie nodded and said, "Got it!"
It didn't take more than three minutes for Amos to come down.
This time, Cindy pretended not to see him.
When Amos came down, he saw Charlie, who was about to speak but stopped on second thought.
So, he decided to make an excuse, "I'm going to get something from the car."
"I'll get it for you!"
Charlie approached him quickly while Amos blinked his eyes and said, "I can do it myself!"
"Mr. Granger, let me..."
Cindy cast a sidelong glance at Charlie and said, "Ahem! Charlie, please help me move this. Mr. Granger, I'm sorry, but you might have to get those things by yourself!"
Amos shook his head and said, "It's okay, I can do it myself!"
He didn't dare to stay any longer. He went out right away after saying that.
Charlie stood there with a confused look on his face and asked Cindy, "What do you want to move? I'll help you!"
Exasperated, Cindy replied, "Oh Lord! You really can't read the room, can you?"
Eudora was in the garden with her new puppy, Cola. It was barking constantly, perhaps due to its insecurity from coming to a new environment.
Eudora took it out to the garden, and found many toys for it to play with.
It was just that Cola had no idea how to play with those toys at all. Therefore, Eudora tried to guide it.
However, Cola completely ignored her.
Amos saw Eudora bending over and playing with the little puppy when he came. Cola stood there, drooping its tail, seemingly unable to understand what Eudora was saying.
Eudora wore a ponytail and was doing her best to teach it patiently.
It was dusk. The sun shone in through the fence in the yard, accentuating the heart-warming scene of the touching moment between Eudora and Cola.
It reminded Amos of the days when Eudora had been taking care of Sugar Bun and Juju during their childhood.
Feeling moved, Amos hurriedly stepped forward.
Eudora sighed out of discouragement as Cola was still not cooperative.
"Fine, you have defeated me. I won't force you to learn it anymore."
After that, she was about to get up. Perhaps she had been lying on the ground for too long, she couldn't stand firm and she almost fell down.
