"I have never been cute! Besides, I have a grudge against you!"
Harley didn't know what to say.
"I didn't offend you, did I?"
"Who said you didn't? I was just scolded by Old Master Granger and you're here, trying to speak for him. Who should I blame this on if it's not you?"
Harley trembled with fear.
After a moment of silence, Harley said, "I'm just telling the truth..."
"Stop! I haven't even asked you yet. Where was the girl you caught?"
"Don't mention that girl!" Harley was furious and he continued, "It's fine that she's not in the profession but she stepped on me before she left. I will have my revenge when I see her!"
"You two seem to be made for each other!" Eudora blurted out.
Harley was stunned and he immediately smiled. "Don't make fun of me. Would I even fall in love with a girl like that? I'll stream myself eating poop if I did!"
"Okay, I'll wait and see then!"
Harley was speechless. Why did it feel like Eudora was waiting to see him stream himself eating poop? After sending Eudora and Juju back, Harley called Amos with his mobile phone.
"I've sent them home and successfully completed the task."
"Okay. Thank you!" Amos replied.
"It's not easy to hear you thank me!" Harley teased.
However, Amos did not seem to be in the mood to chat with Harley. Harley sighed, "It's not easy for you to finally have Eudora again, yet your father seemed to be causing some troubles for you again. What are you going to do about this?"
Amos smiled faintly and said, "Do I look that obedient to you?"
Harley paused and asked, "Aren't you... Aren't you afraid that your father will die of anger?"
"Don't worry. He's much stronger than you think he is!"
Harley's eyes suddenly widened and curiosity was clear on his face. "So, what are you going to do? Are you going to just do whatever you want and tell him later? But, Eudora seemed to be a little hesitant?"
"I won't give her a chance to hesitate then."
Harley was excited. Goodness, it seemed like the usual Amos was finally coming back again!
"Are your moral standards decaying or are you losing your humanity? Why are you so sure now?"
Amos frowned and he said, "Harry and the others have already known about Eudora and Juju's presence, hence it's no longer safe for them. I'm the only one who could protect them." Amos was flexing about his love life again!
Over the next two days, Amos did not show up and Eudora did not take the initiative to look for him either.
However, Juju was very anxious and she would repeat over a hundred times a day. "Why hasn't Daddy come yet?"
Eudora had no choice but to say, "He will return when he's done with his business!"
"But when will Daddy finish his work?"
"I don't know!"
Eudora shook her head.
Finally, Amos showed up on the fourth day after Juju had repeated the same conversation for four consecutive days. He came with the prizes that they had won from the competition. The customized clothes were already done with Juju's drawings printed on it.
Juju was so happy that she immediately asked Eudora and Amos to put them on. After that, the family of three took several photos together.
Juju then asked, "Daddy, is Grandpa alright?"
