Just then, Eudora was at home, and she was desperately stuffing things into the luggage with Sugar Bun.
Sugar Bun was a little depressed and asked, "Mommy, how long do we have to be on the run this time?"
Eudora frowned and replied, "For at least half a month! Did you forget? The last time you broke some windows at school, we had to hide for ten days!"
Upon hearing that, Sugar Bun frowned.
"Mommy, but it was you who broke the glass that time!"
Eudora was speechless.
She hurriedly covered Sugar Bun's mouth and laughed dryly, "Mommy did that to help you! Why are you so disloyal?"
Sugar Bun was speechless.
"Okay, let's stop talking. Hurry up and pack your things. Your father will be back soon!"
However, the moment she finished speaking, Sugar Bun tugged on the hem of her shirt.
Eudora shook her head at him and scowled, "We really don't have time to talk anymore! Come on, hurry up!"
Sugar Bun said, "It's not that, daddy is back!"
Eudora gasped!
This little brat! How could he keep quiet about how Amos returned? How could he do this?
Eudora turned around in a hurry, kicked the halfpacked luggage under the bed, and looked at Amos with a sheepish smile.
"Hubby, you're back? The weather is good today. Sugar Bun and I were going to dry out the luggage bags under the sun!"
Amos frowned at that, "Why are you still lying to me? The teacher called my office today! Tell me, who started it first?"
Sugar Bun immediately lowered his head and admitted, "Daddy, this has nothing to do with mommy. I'm the one who got into trouble. If you want to blame someone, blame me!"
Eudora looked at her son with gratification and hurriedly added, "Don't even try to beat my son!"
Amos ignored her and looked straight at Sugar Bun.
"Are you really planning to help your mommy take the blame?" "Yes!" Sugar Bun nodded. Hence, Amos sighed, "Fine then! Go down, and you're grounded for an hour! Reflect on what you've done!"
Sugar Bun turned around sulkily and left. Meanwhile, Eudora tried to stop him and offer, "Mommy will go with you!"
However, Amos grabbed her and stopped her from advancing, "I am not done with you yet! Stay here, I'll settle the score with you slowly!"
Sugar Bun threw a sympathetic look at Eudora before heading downstairs, not even sparing her another look.
It was only then that Amos turned towards Eudora, smiling, "Honey, you've worked hard!"
Eudora stretched, her back seemingly stiff as she sighed, "Nice to know that you're aware! Hurry up and give me a massage. I'm so tired!"
Amos did not hesitate and immediately gave her a gentle massage.
"How is it? Do you feel better now?"
Eudora nodded in approval, "Yes, it's so much better! Do you think that Sugar Bun's condition has improved?"
Both of them fell silent for a short while before nodding together.
"I think he's getting much better!"
There was a joyful look on Eudora's face as she exclaimed, "The fact that he automatically stood up for me means that he's improved!"
To explain Eudora's actions, one had to look back at two months ago when she first resigned.
After she left, she was supposed to take care of Sugar Bun.
During Sugar Bun's annual physical examination, the doctor informed Eudora that his results weren't optimistic. Apparently, Sugar Bun had some defects in personality.
According to the doctor, Sugar Bun wasn't as cheerful as other children, and there were fears that he was autistic.
Eudora was appalled. Eventually, after consulting the doctor, she began causing trouble along with Sugar Bun!
The doctor's suggestion was to allow the child to discover different joys in life.
