Eudora George didn't immediately ask him for a reason. She bent down and picked the Legos off the floor, then proceeded to build a plane.
She noticed Amos frequently enticing Juju with this, so she knew what she needed to do.
Sure enough, Vincent's attention was drawn to the small plane in her hand.
Eudora smiled at him, "Do you like this?"
She always believed that every child is innocent. No matter what fights the adults had, she refused to get a child involved in it.
Vincent seemed to have seen through her. He spoke.
"You're a bad person. You're trying to bribe me."
Eudora couldn't help raising her eyebrows. She fiddled around and made a figurine, saying, "Wow, you noticed that? Yes, I admit, I am a bad person. But I want to become a good person. Could you help me with that?"
Even though Vincent was a timid child with a short fuse, in every child burned the desire to become a superhero. It looked like Eudora had picked the correct strategy.
After she said that, Vincent contemplated her words.
Eudora didn't rush him. She did her own work while waiting for him to reply. After a while, Vincent said, "Granduncle Harry and Grandaunty Kaylene said that you are a bad person. They said that you put my mom in jail."
It seemed that Harry and Kaylene were behind this after all!
Eudora reached out and patted Vincent's head, "You're a good child. Here, this is for you."
Eudora tipped the figurine toward him. As Vincent took the figurine from her, a child- like smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you!"
Eudora shook her head, "You're welcome."
Looking at her smile, Vincent frowned, "Why did Granduncle Harry and Grandaunty Kaylene say that you're a bad person? In this house, apart from Grandma, you're the only one who plays with me."
She was right. All children were innocent.
Sighing, Eudora said sincerely, "You are still young, so there are still a lot of things that are difficult for you to understand now. There are all sorts of people in this world, and we wouldn't be able to tell that someone is bad or good easily. You'll learn this when you grow up."
Vincent nodded even though he didn't really understand.
Eudora retreated and turned to leave. After a few steps, Vincent suddenly caught up, "Wait, I-1 pushed you earlier. I'm sorry."
Eudora was stunned. She smiled at him earnestly, "It's fine!" "Then... will you play with me again in the future?" Eudora nodded, "Yes."
"Great!"
As Eudora and Amos walked out of the hall, they saw Harry and Kaylene rushing in.
Harry immediately spoke.
"Kaylene said that you've caught the culprit? Why hasn't a trial date been set yet?"
Amos was stunned, "Uncle Harry, I think that you're asking the wrong person. I've already reported this to the police so I'll leave it to them."
"You're part of the victim's family, so I'm sure that the police will listen to you. If you're too busy to handle this, I'm happy to take charge of it." said Harry.
Wasn't he being a little too obvious?
Amos smiled slightly and said, "Okay!"
Eudora looked at Amos in confusion, "Are you sure?"
Amos shook his head, "It's fine. Uncle Harry is the only senior in this house who could deal with this. I'll leave this matter to him then."
