Eudora stayed a little unhappy for the whole day. After talking to Elaine, she went back to the company to deal with some work and only went home after that.
Usually, Sugar Bun would welcome her at the door. However, there was no one at the door this time.
Eudora quickened her pace and entered the house. Just as she stepped inside the house, she heard laughter coming from the living room.
When she looked closer, she got stunned on the spot.
On the carpet in the living room, Juju and Sugar Bun were playing with some building blocks.
The two children were playing together just like before. The house was filled with joy.
Eudora pinched herself and winced in pain. Only then did she realize that she was not dreaming.
Juju had really come back.
She wanted to go closer, but when she thought of how much Juju hated her, she stopped in her tracks.
Perhaps, she should stay outside for a little longer and let the two children have a good time?
Just as she was thinking about that, Cindy spotted her.
She greeted Eudora, "Madam, you're back?"
Eudora made a shushing sound, telling Cindy to keep quiet. She turned around and was about to leave.
The next second, Juju called out for her from behind, "Mom, you're back?"
Eudora was taken aback and turned around to look at Juju.
"I've finished my work today, so I've come back earlier. I remember that I have something else to do. I have to go now..."
"Mom, I'm sorry," Juju said.
This time, Eudora was frozen on the spot, not even moving a muscle.
She looked back at Juju joyfully, "What did you just say?"
"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it. I thought that you wanted to take me away, so I said those harsh words. Mom, I'm so sorry."
The relationship between Juju and Eudora was incredibly unusual! Back then, when Eudora had been pregnant, she had still gone abroad to give birth to Juju through immense efforts.
The two of them had been together for so many years. Nothing could change the love they had for each other.
Hearing Juju suddenly apologizing to her like this, Eudora was heartbroken.
How could she let Juju feel so uncomfortable? So, she immediately hugged Juju.
"No, it's not like that. I should be the one apologizing. I didn't protect you two well. That's why you two have to suffer with me."
Juju shook her head, "No, that's not true, Mom!"
Cindy's eyes turned red when she saw this scene.
"Since the two of you have reconciled, let's eat together. Miss Juju has cooked today. I only acted as her sous chef!"
Eudora was surprised, "Is that so?"
Juju nodded, "Yes, Mom. Why don't you try them out? Let me know how they taste."
Eudora walked in excitedly. Sure enough, several dishes were on the table, and they were all her favorite foods.
Eudora quickly rolled up her sleeves, "I'll cook some more dishes. I don't see any of your favorite food."
"It's fine, Mom. I like whatever you like!"
Eudora looked at Juju's smile, feeling like she was in a dream.
"Mom, hurry up and eat!" Juju smiled again and pulled Eudora out of her daze.
After dinner, the three of them laid on the sofa together. Eudora stroked her round belly and suddenly realized that she was not dreaming.
