The next day was the day for Sugar Bun to go abroad.
The whole family went to see him off at the airport. On the way there, Amos kept comforting Eudora.
On the way there, Amos kept comforting Eudora, "When a child grows up, he has to leave home to learn more things. Sugar Bun has always been treated well when he's with us. I have also made arrangements for him over there, so don't worry."
Eudora promised to restrain her emotions till Sugar Bun passed the security checkpoint.
She just reminded him to pay attention to his health and reminded him to give her a call when he arrived there.
It was not until the figure of her son disappeared at the security checkpoint that tears started to well up Eudora's eyes.
Amos saw her brooding eyes, therefore he reached out to hold her and tried to change the subject.
"I just saw a bakery over there and they sell your favorite cake. I'll buy one for you!"
Eudora sniffed and said, "Sugar Bun also likes that cake."
Amos was rendered speechless.
"Then we won't eat the cake anymore. I'll go shopping with you."
"I'm not going! I'm not in the mood!"
Amos was incredibly anxious as he looked at Naomi and gave her a hint with his eyes.
"Hurry up and console your mother!"
Naomi let out a cry of pain and said, "Mom, my stomach hurts."
Eudora instantly reacted by saying, "What's going on? Why do you have a stomachache? Did you eat something bad? Let's go to the hospital!"
Amos secretly gave Naomi a thumbs-up behind Eudora's back.
Only Naomi knew how to deal with Eudora effectively.
As soon as they left the airport, Naomi received a call from Nelson.
"Miss George, are you free now? I've found a place that is related to our project. I want to invite you to have a look there!"
Naomi glanced at Eudora.
She answered Nelson hesitantly, "Can you hold on for a while?"
Eudora came to her senses and asked, "Who is it? Does it have to do with your job?"
Nelson was slightly stunned upon hearing Eudora's voice. He pursed his lips and stayed quiet.
Naomi replied, "It's a client. He said he wanted to talk about the project."
"Go ahead! I'm fine now."
Naomi hesitated and asked, "Are you really alright?"
"With your father here, what could happen to me?"
Naomi thought about it carefully and agreed with her. With her father's capabilities, wouldn't he handle Eudora even better?
"Then, I'll get going first. I'll come back later to keep you company!"
Looking at Naomi's retreating back, Amos took another look at Eudora again. He said, "I'll go home with you."
Eudora stretched her hand out to take out her phone and announced, "I want to watch some short clips of mine."
Amos was at a loss of words.
Naomi rushed to the destination where Nelson had mentioned. When she arrived, she found out that he was already waiting there.
Unlike their previous meeting, he wore a white shirt with trousers, looking like a young teenager.
As she got closer, she noticed that he was holding two cups of lattes in his hands.
He stretched his hand out and handed Naomi one of the cups. He said, "I noticed that they're having a promotion where you can get the second cup of latte at half- price, so I bought one more. Here, have it!"
Naomi took a sip after thanking him.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. It turned out to be a caramel latte, the drink he liked. How could there be such a wonderful coincidence in this world?
Just as she was thinking about that, another two male students walked past them.
