Flirting was in his nature, wasn't it?
Eudora could feel that her little heart was moved once again.
As expected, she would never be able to tease him and win.
The next day was a weekend.
When Eudora got up early in the morning and went downstairs, she was greeted with the sight of Amos and Juju gearing up.
Juju, especially, was in an amusing outfit. This girl had a sassy personality ever since she was a toddler. She had not been wearing such an adorable outfit ever since she was given the toy gun.
Eudora didn't expect her to wear it again.
Juju spoke when she saw Eudora staring at her.
"Daddy said that Grandpa likes cute little girls."
Eudora looked at Amos gratefully, and Amos quickly turned his eyes to Juju, "Didn't you bring your favorite toy to play with Grandpa?"
Juju nodded and immediately opened her small backpack.
"Drawing block, building blocks, and my toy gun, they are all for Grandpa!"
Eudora was so moved that she said, "Honey, that's so sweet."
She rushed over quickly and planted a firm kiss on Juju's round cheeks. Amos was waiting for his reward at the side.
In the end, he was left empty- handed as Eudora carried Juju out in her arms.
Amos was at a loss for words.
After a few steps, Eudora turned around and saw that Amos was still standing at the same spot. She spoke up in confusion,
"Let's go!"
Amos was dumbfounded!
Juju rolled her eyes and immediately said, "Mommy, you forgot to thank Daddy too!"
Eudora was in disbelief.
"Your father is not that childish! Am I right, Amos?"
He nodded his head, "In this matter, maybe I am really childish."
Eudora was speechless.
She approached him and pecked him on the cheek. Then, she scurried away with a red face.
"Come on. Let's go!"
Amos reached out to touch his cheek and his lips tugged upwards.
After sending the two of them to the George family, Amos got out of the car and took Juju's things out, "Be good and stay with Mommy. I'll be waiting for you outside."
Eudora was stunned, "Aren't you coming in?" Amos shook his head and waved at them.
"I might just scare him if I were to go inside. It's okay."
Eudora frowned. However, she finally relented when she recalled Gordon's reaction that day.
It seemed that Gordon was better today, but he still had trouble recognizing people. When Eudora and others went in, he was sitting alone in the garden, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Felicia was cleaning up at home. When she saw Eudora and Juju coming, she was taken aback for a split second.
But soon, she broke into a smile.
"Eudora, you're here, and this is..."
"My daughter!" Eudora said, "Juju, this is your Granny."
When she said that, she meant it as a polite salutation for an old lady one would come across in the street.
Although Felicia had married into the family to take care of her, Eudora still couldn't respect her as a mother after all these years. She was clearer than anyone else about the 'care' that Felicia provided for her.
