Sawyer did not continue the topic, and Eudora did not bring it up again either.
However, from that day on, Eudora did not seem to be too concerned with the Racing King incident where Sawyer had broken Amos' record.
Sawyer knew that it was not that she had forgiven him. She was just kind and did not want to be prejudiced towards him.
After hearing Eudora's words last time, the employees in the company no longer openly bad mouth Sawyer anymore.
Sawyer had even thought that it would be decent for him to live like this for the rest of his life.
He could secretly watch Eudora and the children.
After the first snow, in the blink of an eye, Christmas was around the corner.
Juju called home early in the morning. She mentioned that Leslie had given her a day off. Therefore, she wanted to come home to spend the day with Eudora.
Eudora was overjoyed. Two days ago, she had already started making plans to bring the children out.
It was rare for Juju to come back. Eudora really wanted to take the children out to broaden their horizons.
She had asked Archer to do a lot of research. Eudora looked at the suggestions listed down but could not find anything suitable.
From the rearview mirror, Sawyer saw that on the way to work, she was still busy deciding where to take the children to. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel once more.
A long while passed.
Then, Sawyer opened his mouth, "Why don't you bring them to the amusement park?"
Eudora looked at him suspiciously and said, "The amusement park seems to be a little too ordinary."
In her mind, the amusement park was an ordinary place that they could go to any time. There was nothing special about it.
"Children love going to amusement parks though! I heard that there's a skiing amusement park open at that area. Maybe you could take your children there."
Eudora's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea."
Her two children liked snow. If they could go skiing, they would definitely enjoy it!
It was decided. Eudora put down the documents in her hands and looked at Sawyer in front of her.
"You know so much about children. Do you have children as well? Have you been separated from them?"
Sawyer was stunned and felt a little helpless.
Why was she suddenly interested in his identity?
"No!" Sawyer replied in a low voice. "It's just an observation of mine!"
Eudora uttered an 'oh' and said no more. Perhaps what Sawyer said was correct and he was indeed an attentive person.
In the blink of an eye, Christmas came. In the morning, Charlie and Cindy both asked Eudora for a day off, saying that they wanted to go home.
Eudora remembered that they had not had much rest all year round, so she let them go home.
Eudora felt that she was pretty safe now! She could even fetch the children on her own.
However, unexpectedly, as soon as she came out, she saw Sawyer standing next to the car.
When Sugar Bun saw Sawyer, he rushed towards him excitedly and shouted, "Dad!"
Eudora was startled.
She quickly pulled Sugar Bun back to her side.
She said with embarrassment, "Why didn't you rest today? You can actually take a day off since it's a holiday!"
Sawyer shook his head, "My family lives very far away. Even if I take the day off, I won't have much to do. I might as well drive you around."
Eudora saw that he was always alone in his daily life and thought he must have been feeling lonely, so she did not reject his request anymore.
They set off together, first going to Giant Star to pick Juju up.
It had been a while since they had last met. Juju looked a little thinner than before, but she was in high spirits, and her eyes were clear and bright.
Eudora felt relieved when she saw that Juju was so full of energy.
As for Juju, after greeting Sugar Bun, she kept staring at Sawyer's back.
Eudora thought Juju was looking at how Sawyer was tightly wrapped in bandages, so she immediately grabbed her hand and changed the subject.
She asked Juju about her training, and she happily shared her experience.
In particular, when she talked about shooting, which was her favorite activity, she became even more talkative.
