As they watched, Eudora suddenly turned around and looked at them both in the eye!
"I'm not playing anymore. They are laughing at me."
She knew that they would laugh at her.
Charlie and Wesley instantly tightened their lips, "Madam, there must be a mistake. We are professionally trained and we would never laugh unless we couldn't contain it anymore!"
Eudora was flustered.
Didn't that mean that they couldn't hold their laughter in just now? Didn't that mean that they were laughing at her then?
Eudora was very upset. Before she could speak, Amos was already one step ahead of her,
"You two, run ten laps around the front yard!"
Both Charlie and Wesley were shocked.
Mr. Granger had gotten crazily protective of his wife! However, they wouldn't dare to disobey his order.
They just nodded compliantly, turned around, and went for a run.
After the two of them left, Amos took Eudora back into his arms and said, "Listen to me, okay?"
Eudora pursed her lips in frustration and finally acquiesced to avoid having her freedom taken away further. Amos was right. Although it was a toy gun, it was built to mimic an actual one. Hence, when she used it, the grip still felt very decent and it still was addictive to shoot with.
Eudora gradually accepted the toy gun and became a little addicted to it after practicing a few times with it.
Finally, as she was about to shoot for the tenth time, Amos held her hand.
"Let's call it a day. You've been playing for quite some time. We'd better leave now."
"I still want to play. Can I?" Eudora was reluctant to part with it.
"No!" Amos quirked an eyebrow, and the next thing he saw was Eudora's pouted lips. Ever since she lost her memory, she had become a little childish, especially now that she was pregnant. He didn't know if it was the estrogen effect or that she had gotten really good at being coquettish.
Amos could do nothing in the face of her coquetry.
"Three more times then!"
"Five times!"
"Three times! Don't try to bargain further!"
Eudora knew that Amos would rarely give in. Hence, she could only nod her head
reluctantly, "Then, I don't want you to help me with these three shots. I'll do it myself."
Amos noticed that she was fine after practicing so many times. He nodded his head and said, "Okay."
He released his grip and stood one meter away from Eudora, ready to protect her if needed. He looked just like a lion that was ready to protect its cubs.
Juju observed them silently from the shooting range. Then, she took another look at her tightly-protected Mom. For the first time in her life, she doubted that she was their own biological child...
With a frown, Juju put aside the gun and walked over.
"Daddy, could I tell you something?"
Amos nodded, his eyes never leaving Eudora, "Go ahead."
Juju rolled her eyes before saying wryly, "Daddy, could I extend my practice time? I would like to practice longer."
Amos didn't pay much attention to her and merely nodded subconsciously.
"Thank you, Daddy!" Juju cried out happily. The next second, Amos suddenly pulled her back, "What did you just say?"
