Eudora finally came to her senses when the three of them ran out of the dining room.
It turned out that Amos hadn't allowed her and Juju to eat the dishes a while ago not because the dishes were delicious, but because it was clear that the dishes were too unpalatable. He was just afraid that something would go wrong if they ate the food.
On the other hand, Charlie and Wesley were strong warriors. They were trained professionally to be bodyguards and they had encountered all kinds of adversities. However, it must have tasted really awful that they couldn't bear the taste of it.
Shockingly, Amos ate it, and he even ate three spoonfuls in a row.
Eudora's brows grew tighter as she thought about this.
"Amos... are you okay?"
Amos shook his head calmly, "I'm fine!" He then picked up his spoon, looking as though he was about to eat again.
Eudora instantly grabbed hold of his arm, "Stop eating it! Why are you eating it when it obviously tastes so awful?"
She continued, "You don't have to eat it. You could hate me, kick me out, or blame me for being unreasonable! You should, but why didn't you?"
Amos stared into her eyes for a long time before he finally smiled.
"Because you are Eudora George."
It was because she was Eudora. Whether she was unreasonable, or she was taking him for granted or deliberately being a troublemaker, he would never get tired and disgusted with her, nor would he ever drive her away from his life.
It was ecause in his heart, she was his world and the diamond in his eyes.
He would never let go of her.
He was always so concise and domineering, yet so gentle at the same time.
Eudora, fearing that she would be overwhelmed by his tenderness, turned around in a panic, "I'm going upstairs!"
"Okay," Amos replied, but when he came back to his senses, he realized that Juju had already put a piece of ribs in her mouth.
The next second, the little girl frowned and said, "Mommy has lost her gustation today. It's awful!"
Amos quickly took a plate and handed it to her, "Spit it out."
Juju shook her head and swallowed the ribs under Amos' shocked gaze.
"It's okay. I can take it."
In fact, Juju was very similar to Amos, especially when she spoke with that casual expression. She didn't look like a young child at all.
She was like a mature adult, independent and understanding. "I said that I was going to protect Mommy. If I couldn't even eat something this awful, how am I going to protect her then?"
The three people who had just come in from outside felt ashamed of themselves at the sight of this.
It was not a big deal that they had lost to Amos, but at this moment, they even lost to a kiddo.
However, it was inedible! Couldn't Miss Juju taste just how bad it was?
Amos was still worried, hence, he called Doctor Leon to check-up on Juju. His mind was finally at ease after ensuring that she was indeed fine.
Eudora did not leave her room all afternoon and she did not make much noise either.
The items which Eudora had bought from the mall arrived later in the afternoon. From the curtains, cabinets, to rugs, and everything in the house, Eudora had handpicked all of them. It seemed as though they were all deliberately chosen to look the worst.
Cindy had initially thought that her own aesthetics was awful, but when she saw those things, she realized that her sense was surprisingly good after all.
Charlie looked at the pile of stuff and said in embarrassment, "Mr. Granger, why don't I ask someone to send these to the basement?"
Amos frowned, "Replace them."
Charlie was dumbfounded.
Could Mr. Granger be more rational and sensible? If this pile of awful things was to be displayed, wouldn't this luxurious mansion look like a run-down rural lot?
