Eudora George went to take a bath once they reached the resort. When she came out, she noticed that Amos was still awake. He was leaning against the bed and reading a book.
Eudora craned her neck and took a look. She realized that he was looking at a cookbook!
Amos Granger turned his head away when he realized that he had been discovered.
"Were you the one who put it on the bedside table? I just took it casually..."
Such a stubborn person!
Eudora reached out to take the cookbook back.
"I did put it at the bedside. Mr. Granger, why don't you have a look at it?"
"Nah!" Amos was full of pride.
Eudora did not expose Amos to his lies, instead, she reached up and kissed his cheek.
"How about this?"
Amos's eyes darkened, "Hmm?"
"Still no? Alas, it's really annoying..." Eudora frowned mischievously, which was really adorable and annoying at the same time. In the end, Amos gave in and took back the cookbook.
Eudora, on the other hand, adjusted to a more comfortable position. She leaned on his shoulder and looked at the cookbook seriously. Although Eudora's cooking skills were good, there were actually a lot of dishes that she didn't know how to cook.
She felt as though she had learned a lot after reading a few pages of the cookbook.
She couldn't help pointing at the cookbook and said, "This is good. I want to learn this."
They were so close to each other that Amos could almost feel her exquisite curve. However, she did not notice it in the slightest and she ended up seducing Amos without herself realizing.
In the end, Amos put down the cookbook in his hand.
Eudora was stunned, "What's wrong? I haven't finished reading it yet..."
He kissed her before she could even finish her sentence. As he spoke, his vague voice ran through her teeth.
"Let's eat something else first..."
Eudora was speechless.
She didn't know when she finally fell asleep. It was already daybreak when she woke up the next day. The cookbook at the bedside was already turned to its last page. Eudora wanted to read it again, but she still took it away at the thought of what had happened to her last night.
The Old Master was already sitting there happily in the kitchen downstairs after freshening himself up. Amos was busy in the kitchen. Even though he'd been reading the cookbook all night, he was still a little nervous! In fact, Amos had cooked before. The nerves were probably caused by the stress he had put onto himself.
However, he was performing much better than yesterday. At least, he was not burning the whole kitchen anymore.
Amos made some poached eggs, bacon, and sauteed mushrooms for breakfast. The tomato soup was store-bought.
It was a scrumptious meal. After the family sat together for breakfast, the Old Master suddenly proposed to go to the amusement park.
Juju was over the moon. She liked the amusement park very much. It was a place full of all kinds of fantasies for kids.
However, Amos was very unhappy.
"Don't you know about your own health condition? You are not allowed to go."
"I don't care!" the Old Master then wheeled himself out of the room.
Amos snorted, "Do whatever you want then! I'm not going to say anything if you refuse to take care of your own health!"
The father and son, who were getting closer initially, had started to quarrel again. Eudora looked at Juju and said hurriedly, "I'm going after Grandpa."
Juju understood immediately and grabbed Amos' finger, "Daddy, don't be angry."
Whenever Amos got angry, as long as Juju and Eudora were around, things would be set right eventually. On the other side, when Eudora got out of the house, she saw the Old Master's wheelchair parked on the lawn outside the door.
Eudora caught up hurriedly and saw the Old Master staring at the amusement park roller coaster not far away in a daze. He even had a smile on his face.
She was taken aback by the Old Master's suggestion. Fie had asked her to do so, but it did not mean that she would be willing to bring his ashes around!
She had no choice but to use her trump card.
"But, Juju wants to go!"
The Old Master was stunned, "Does Juju want to go?" Juju immediately broke free from Amos' grasp and ran over without hesitation, "Grandpa, Mommy is right. I want to go to the amusement park."
Eudora, on the other hand, swapped with Juju and took the opportunity to run over and hold Amos' hand, "I want to go too."
Amos was still upset, but he seemed less unhappy than before.
Upon hearing that, he pursed his lips, "Stop it."
"Why? But I really want to go to the amusement park," Eudora reached out to hold Amos' hand and shake it desperately like a petulant child.
"I really want to go. Hubby, please take me there..."
Amos let out a breath and said, "Okay! Okay!"
"Thank you, Amos!"
The mother and daughter winked at each other and immediately went back inside to change their clothes. When they left, only then did Amos walk over to the Old Master's wheelchair.
"That's what children are like. There's really no need for you to take it to heart."
He was referring to his wish to go to the amusement park when he was younger. The Old Master's eyes darkened and he said immediately.
"I'm sorry."
Amos was stupefied when he heard the Old Master apologizing to him.
"I'm sorry. I'm not a good father."
