Eudora had been having nightmares ever since her memories returned and even more so after Juju fell ill. She had not been able to sleep well for a long time.
However, she found herself lying in Amos' arms when she woke up. She sat up immediately and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up? Did you do it on purpose?"
Amos Granger stared at her blankly before standing up to explain bitterly.
"Weren't you the one who kept pulling me and not letting me go?"
Eudora was stunned and she asked, "What?"
"I came to wake you up around three o'clock but you dragged me all the way to the sofa..."
Eudora was speechless.
"Are you lying to me?"
"Why would I lie to you? You can ask Clint if you don't believe me."
"Was Clint here? Does he know too?"
Amos nodded, "You made a lot of noise just now...."
Eudora covered her face in embarrassment and she said, "Forget it, I'd better not ask. I haven't been sleeping well recently. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble and I'll be more careful in the future!"
"It's okay!" Amos said very generously. "But it's a little late now and I don't think we could practice anymore. I'll send you back!"
Eudora just realized that it was already dark outside.
"Oh no, Juju," she gasped. She got up in a hurry but she accidentally grazed her bruise again. Amos held her quickly and said, "Don't worry, I had already sent Clint over to pick Juju up when I noticed that you were sleeping."
However, Eudora was still worried. She did not even think of refusing Amos when he offered to send her home.
As expected, she saw that Juju was safe and sound when she arrived home. "I'll head back first then!" Clint said immediately when he saw them.
Amos nodded. Unexpectedly, Eudora turned to him and said, "You should go back too. Thank you for today..."
Amos's heart sank. Such an ungrateful little woman.
However, he still plastered a smile over his face and said, "No problem. I will pay attention, so that I won't let you pull me again..."
"Amos!" Eudora immediately interrupted him. She knew that he was about to blurt out the fact that she had pulled him to sleep together. She had to interrupt him, especially when they were in front of Juju.
"What's wrong?" Amos chuckled happily.
"I'm going to cook. Why don't you stay for dinner? Clint should stay too..."
Clint wanted to nod instinctively. He had heard from Harley that Eudora's cooking was very delicious. According to Harley, everyone would want to have a taste of it.
It was a pity that he had never had a chance to try it.
However, why did he suddenly feel a chill behind him? Clint instantly saw his boss giving him a cold look when he turned around.
He held back hurriedly and refused her offer.
"Oh, right. I just remembered that my mother had asked me to go home for dinner today! I'll be going first! Goodbye!"
He had already left before Eudora could even speak.
Amos could not help but praise Clint, "He's such a filial man."
Eudora was speechless. Wasn't Amos the one who scared Clint away?
Meanwhile, Juju ran over and hugged Amos' thigh. "Uncle, shall we play some toys?"
Amos was taken aback and he asked, "What did you call me?"
Juju pursed her lips but did not speak. There was a trace of fear in her big eyes.
Amos remembered that night where he pushed her away when she called him 'Daddy'. Juju must have been frightened back then.
