The child's sweet body scent permeated her nose...
For the first time, Eudora slept soundly. By the time she woke up, the sky outside was already bright. Sugar Bun had already woken up and was lying next to her, giggling.
Juju sat there playing toys with him. Both children were very sensible and didn't wake Eudora up.
Eudora went to wash up but didn't expect her legs to go numb the moment she stood up. During the night, she had been worried about crushing Sugar Bun, so she didn't dare to stretch out her legs.
She didn't expect her legs to be so numb after being curling them up for the whole night.
She mustered the strength to wash up, change clothes, and go downstairs. Then, she heard Tyler saying...
"I heard there will be a bonfire party in the afternoon. Do you know about it, Eudora?"
Eudora nodded. "Yeah!"
Juju rolled her eyes and said, "Mommy, I want to go too."
"Let's all go together!" Tyler replied with a smile. "It should be fine as that place is quite safe."
In fact, Tyler also said this for Eudora's peace of mind. She had been extra cautious towards others and certainly wouldn't participate if her children didn't go.
After a simple breakfast, Eudora went to the garden for a walk. When she arrived at the garden, she heard the conversation between Fabian and the resort staff.
"There was a gentleman who came to look for her in the morning. We didn't let him in, so he left!"
Fabian was stunned and asked, "What is his name?"
"Seems to be a Mr. Granger, and he asked about Miss George's condition."
Eudora was stunned, and Sugar Bun who was next to her suddenly let out a cry. Fabian heard the child and turned around.
"Good morning, Eudora."
Eudora smiled awkwardly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to pass by and wanted to ask if you're feeling better."
After all, Fabian had been unwell because of Juju. As the mother, Eudora had to be responsible for it.
"I'm fine now. But I heard that Mr. Granger came looking for you. What's going on?"
Eudora smiled weakly. "Since he didn't mention anything, perhaps he was here to see Juju and Sugar Bun!"
Fabian also nodded, and then said to the staff, "It's all right, get back to your work. If Mr. Granger comes later, you can take him to see the children."
Eudora frowned, feeling that Fabian's words seemed to carry a double meaning.
After the staff left, Eudora also came up with an excuse to leave with Juju.
Juju followed Eudora disappointedly, and couldn't help but mutter, "Silly Daddy!"
"Huh?" Eudora looked at Juju suspiciously. "What did you say?"
Juju shook her head frantically. "Nothing. I'm just starting to miss Daddy a little. Mommy, do you miss him?"
Eudora was mildly startled and didn't answer.
At that point, she felt that 'missing' him was way out of her league.
The bonfire party was usually held close to the resort for safety reasons. Therefore, everyone headed there after finishing lunch.
It was tricky to drive along the hilly road, so Eudora carried Sugar Bun while Juju walked alone as she was old enough.
It was already dark by the time they arrived at the bonfire party. Some staff had already lit up all the bonfires, and the scene was quite amazing.
Eudora found a safe location for the children to watch the bonfire. There were recliners and baby strollers prepared for guests to use.
The two children, Sugar Bun and Juju, quickly warmed up with the staff members working on the bonfires.
