Eudora quickly picked up Sugar Bun and apologized, "I'm sorry. He's still a child. He's just randomly spouting nonsense!"
A thought flashed through Sawyer's mind as he stared at the child for a few seconds. Sugar Bun seemed to be much bigger than before!
His cheeks were puffy and rosy.
Also, when he saw Juju that day, she was in much better spirits.
Among the family members, only Eudora was thinner than before.
Perhaps she had given all her love to everyone else and had exhausted herself in the process!
Sawyer calmly turned his head around.
He nodded, "Okay. I'll be leaving!"
Cindy caught up with him and said, "Madam, I'll arrange a room for him!"
Sawyer was not hired as the company's driver, but as Eudora's private driver. According to the Granger family's traditions, they would arrange a room for him in the house..
Furthermore, there was an extra room in Clearwater Bay which was relatively big. Eudora did not say anything and let Cindy arrange it.
As soon as Eudora came back, she could not help but feel a little restless.
She played with Sugar Bun for a while in the afternoon. When he had fallen asleep, she thought of entering the kitchen to make something delicious for him.
Cindy kicked her out in a hurry.
"Madam, please spare me! You've just been discharged. Why are you coming to the kitchen? What do you still need me for if you keep this up? If Charlie sees this, he will surely scold me!"
As the leader of the secret guards, Charlie would surely scold her.
"Then, what should I do?" Eudora muttered, "I've been lying in the hospital bed for several days. I'm just thinking of moving myself around by cooking, but you're not letting me cook!"
In reality, she had another thought. Back in the hospital, she had been mesmerized by Sawyer's cooking.
Truth be told, she was a little dissatisfied with herself!
She thought that she was a decent cook herself. Instead of being captivated by other people's cooking, it was better to know how to cook by herself!
"You can take a walk in the garden! The Garden Cosmos flowers that you've planted have blossomed. You haven't seen them yet, have you?"
Just as they were talking, Sugar Bun, who had been taking his nap, woke up.
Eudora really had no excuse this time. She picked Sugar Bun up, grabbed a storybook, and walked to the garden.
Cindy was right. The flowers in the garden were all in full bloom. They were colorful and gorgeous!
Eudora sat down on the swing with Sugar Bun in her arms. She opened the storybook on her lap and read it to Sugar Bun.
Sugar Bun listened attentively as Eudora read to him in an equally serious manner.
When Sawyer was done unpacking, he came out to the garden. The first thing he heard was a gentle voice narrating a story book.
Following the voice, he looked over and saw Eudora sitting on the swing with Sugar Bun in her arms while softly reading.
Sawyer stood there for a while. As he was hesitating to walk over, Sugar Bun turned around and shouted, "Dad!"
Sawyer's heart skipped a beat. This child...
The sweet voice stopped abruptly. Sawyer quickly turned around to leave. Eudora could only see a shadow flashing past as she turned her head.
She felt flustered, reaching out to hug Sugar Bun.
"Sugar Bun, you shouldn't shout 'Dad' randomly, okay?"
Sugar Bun blinked his eyes and looked puzzled.
"Dad?"
Eudora covered her face. She felt that she must have been too busy recently. She had not had the chance to show Amos' picture to Sugar Bun.
