My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 813

Elaine replied, "Oh? I'm not very sure either. When I came out just now, I heard her assistant calling her. I think it's about her daughter!"

"Her daughter? What's wrong?"

Elaine was surprised, "What's up with you? Don't you think that you're paying too much attention to Miss George? Don't tell me that you've taken a fancy to her!"

Sawyer did not reply, looking as gloomy as before.

Elaine rolled her eyes and said, "Every time I criticize you, you show me this reaction. I don't know what to do with you. I don't think a big deal happened. It seems that her daughter had some misunderstandings with her!"

Sawyer's finger paused. To others, that might not be a big deal.

However, Eudora loved her two children very much. She had suffered a lot when she had been pregnant with Juju and Sugar Bun.

If Juju really had misunderstood her, how could she stand it?

No wonder her eyes had been swollen when he had seen her!

At the thought of that, Sawyer stopped the car by the side of the road.

"I have something to do. You can drive there yourself!"

Elaine was dumbfounded, "Hey, Sawyer, are you kidding me? You said you were going to be my driver today. Now, you're running away?"

However, Sawyer had already gone far away!

Elaine was speechless. She kicked the wheel of the car and drove away.

After leaving the car, Sawyer took a taxi straight to the outskirts of the city.

Juju was training here every day. On the current day, she was undergoing shooting practice. However, it was different from the day before. This time, she had a moving target.

Leslie had arranged for people to set up obstacles and targets in the woods. Juju would have to follow the route without missing a target in order to be considered her attempt a success.

She had passed all of the tests before this. The last checkpoint was located a little further away.

Raymond was supposed to follow her, but Leslie stopped him.

"It's extremely safe here. It's time for her to toughen up on her own!"

Raymond stopped following her.

Juju looked at the dark woods and was afraid. However, she was stubborn. Once she had decided on something, it would be difficult to change her mind.

She still went ahead towards the next checkpoint.

However, it was not as easy as expected.

When Juju turned around and aimed at the target, a black shadow destroyed it right in front of her.

Juju was stunned and looked at the figure.

"Do you work for Master Clarke?" she asked.

Sawyer had initially merely wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Juju, but he did not expect her to mistake him for Leslie's subordinate.

He thought that that would work too, so he nodded.

"Yes!" he replied.

Looking at the target that had been destroyed, she lowered her head in disappointment, "I've failed!"

Before Sawyer could say a word, she added, "You won't get another chance next time!"

The stubborn look on Juju's face overlapped the image of Eudora's face in his mind.

They were indeed mother and daughter, both equally stubborn.

He paused for a second and said, "Fine! However, since you've lost, you should be punished, don't you think?"

Juju was indeed smart. She noticed that something was amiss.

"You're not Master Clarke's subordinate, are you? He didn't mention anything about punishment. Who the hell are you?"

As she spoke, she pointed the arrowhead at him.

She could not go back.

However, Sawyer was different. She wasn't that familiar with him. Naturally, he would not care much about her family's situation. Additionally, since he was with Clint, he was trustworthy.

She could not hold it in any longer.

So, she slowly confessed, "Of course, I want to be with my family, but I've promised my father that I'll take good care of Mom and Sugar Bun! Now, Mom is working hard every day and has to take care of many other things. Sugar Bun is still young, so I want to take off some of Mommy's burdens."

Sawyer had never imagined that that would be her reason. He felt a dull pain in his heart, as if he had been struck by something.

He subconsciously raised his head and thought of rubbing her head. However, he stayed still and did nothing more.

He calmed himself down for a while.

Then, he said, "Actually, your mother isn't an irrational person, is she? She'll listen to whatever you tell her, am I right?"

Juju shook her head, "What if she doesn't listen though?"

"There's no 'what if'. Don't you trust your mother? Do you know how sad she was after you said that to her yesterday? Her eyes were swollen today! Think about it carefully. Has your mother not listened to your advice before so far?"

Juju looked at him suspiciously and asked, "How would you know about that?"

Sawyer kept quiet.

"I heard it from Uncle Clint! I think you should trust your mother. That's the only way to solve the problem from its roots."

Juju pinched her fingers, "Is Mom really that sad?"

"Of course! Unless you want her to be sad forever, then..."

"No!" Juju stood up immediately. "Dad told me to take care of Mom. I can't make her sad."

After that, she picked up her things and turned back the way she had come.

"I want to make myself clear to Mom!"

After a few steps, she recalled that she had not bid Sawyer farewell yet. When she turned around, she realized that no one was there anymore.
