Eudora and Amos reached Clearwater Bay half an hour later.
Just like the Grangers' old mansion, their house in Clearwater Bay was also decorated with new furniture. They were all cleaned and polished carefully, especially the ones Eudora had chosen before.
The whole room seemed to be filled with warmth. This was the bridal chamber that she wanted!
Eudora looked around with joy, and the two little children followed behind, laughing happily.
Amos knew that they would like it here, thus he said.
"If you don't want to go back to the old mansion, we could all just live here. I'll arrange for people to take care of the house there!"
"Okay!" Eudora kissed Amos' cheek without hesitation, and her eyes were narrowed into crescents from smiling.
Wesley, who had been standing aside, decided to walk away to grant them some privacy.
Juju immediately covered her brother's eyes and said, "Daddy, Mommy, you're doing the shy thing!"
That caught Eudora off guard.
Amos squatted down and explained to Juju carefully.
"This is not being shy. This is the expression of Mommy's love for Daddy."
Eudora covered her face. How could they say such a shameful thing?
However, Amos didn't intend to stop at all. "Juju, if you love Sugar Bun, you could kiss his cheek too! Daddy loves Juju, so I could also kiss you on the cheek."
Juju nodded, but she didn't fully understand. She tiptoed and kissed Amos' cheek.
"Is that so? Daddy?"
Amos nodded. "Juju, you're so smart!"
He then got up and planted a kiss on Eudora's cheek. "Daddy also loves Mommy."
Eudora felt embarrassed.
She then held Amos' hand and said in a low voice, "You don't have to talk about this topic all the time, do you?"
Amos replied bluntly, "It's not something we should shy away! It is very important. It will have a great impact on our family and our parent-child relationship in the future!"
Eudora immediately felt a little guilty. She had not been a good mother. On the other hand, Amos had been playing the role of a father much better than she had.
She needed to put more effort into becoming a better mother.
Amos held her hand and smiled sheepishly. "That way, you wouldn't have to avoid kissing me when we are at home once they understand it!"
Eudora was baffled.
What a great excuse, huh, Mr. Granger? Did he forget that Wesley was still there? Was he going to ignore his presence?
To alleviate the awkwardness, Eudora quickly found an excuse.
"It's been a long day. Let me make you guys supper!"
"Sure!" Juju smiled and clapped her hands. "I like eating Mommy's supper the most!"
Sugar Bun grinned as well. Although he couldn't speak, he had to join in the fun.
In the kitchen, Eudora listened to the laughter of the father and children coming from the living room from time to time, and her heart was at peace.
Wesley then came in and reached out to take the food from Eudora's hand.
"Mrs. Granger, let me help you!"
"It's alright!" Eudora shook her head. "Thank you for taking care of Juju and Sugar Bun for me all this time. No words could express my gratitude."
Wesley paused, and a sense of warmth flashed across his eyes.
"It's my duty, Mrs. Granger."
Eudora shook her head. "You were supposed to protect Amos. It's really hard for a man to take care of children. Now that I'm back, you can relax a little in the future. You should go to the living room and wait for me. I've prepared your supper too."
Wesley beamed and replied, "Okay."
As he was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to have thought of something and turned back to look at Eudora.
