My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 825

Children had always been fearless. At first, Juju had thought she could intimidate Sawyer, but she did not expect to get herself into trouble! Although she acted like an adult most of the time, at that moment, she was terrified!

Just as she had no idea what to do, Sawyer, who was far behind, suddenly sped up in an instant and rushed towards her.

Before she could fall onto the ground, he had already scooped her up and held her in his arms.

Then, with a muffled thud, the two of them slid down the mountain together.

Eudora who had witnessed the whole incident was scared out of her wits!

She quickly caught up with them and asked someone to hold them up.

"Juju? Are you alright?"

Juju was truly frightened. She threw herself into Eudora's arms and cried. Then, she turned around to look at Sawyer.

"Are you hurt?" Eudora asked Juju.

Juju shook her head. She was just frightened.

After calming her down, Eudora turned to look at Sawyer.

She asked, "A-Are you alright?"

Fortunately, the two had only slipped down along the slope. Except for a small injury on his arm when he had been hugging Juju, his injuries were not serious. Sawyer shook his head, "I'm fine!"

Eudora was worried, so she said to Sawyer.

So, she said to Sawyer, "Forget it. Let's go to the hospital!"

He was already scarred all over his body. If anything happened to him, she would not be at ease!

Sawyer shook his head again, "I'm really fine. There's no need for that!"

Eudora still wanted to persuade him, but he had already turned around and walked away.

After such an incident, Juju and Sugar Bun were not in the mood to play around anymore. The family then walked out of the amusement park.

On the way back, Sawyer drove the car as usual, but Juju kept on staring at his back.

Sawyer could obviously feel a burning gaze from behind him. He was worried that Juju had noticed something.

The children were really smart and sensitive, especially Sugar Bun. The first time he had seen Sawyer, he had actually called him 'Dad'!

At that time, he could only straighten his back and try to appear as calm as possible.

When they reached home, Eudora brought Sugar Bun out of the car first. Then, Sawyer opened the door for Juju. After that, he did not dare to stay any longer and quickly walked away. Returning to his room in the backyard, he opened his first aid kit and was about to do some simple bandaging, only to find that there was only some ointment for burns in it.

There was nothing else.

Just as he was hesitating if he should go out to buy some, Juju came over and knocked on his door.

"Uncle Sawyer, Mom said that in order to thank you for saving me today, you'll eat with us tonight!"

Sawyer instinctively refused, "No need! I can eat alone!"

After a moment of silence, Juju said again sadly, "Uncle Sawyer, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you! If you hadn't saved me today, I really don't know what would have happened...Even if you don't forgive me, I won't blame you!"

She was just a child, but the maturity in the way she spoke and acted made his heart ache.

Sawyer really could not bear to see her being like this, so he tidied up his clothes and opened the door.

"If it's not too much trouble for you all, then I'll join!"

Juju's eyes lit up upon hearing him.

"Of course you won't be troubling us! Thank you, Uncle Sawyer."

Sawyer shook his head and said, "You're welcome! It's what I should do anyway!"

Upon arriving at the living room, Sawyer heard Eudora's shout from the kitchen.

She yelled, "Juju, entertain the guest. The food will be ready in a minute!"

Sawyer felt a little embarrassed as he replied, "I'm not a guest!"

"You're our guest! If it weren't for you today, Juju would have been injured! We should thank you properly!"

Juju nodded, "Yes. In the past, my father told me to not judge a person by his cover. I've made a mistake today. Please don't be angry.

I will take note of my behavior in the future!"

Inwardly, Sawyer went into deep thought. He could not recall when he had said such a thing.

However, when he saw how Juju remembered his advice, he felt relieved!

He reached his hand out and subconsciously wanted to rub Juju's head. However, after reaching out, he quickly pulled his hand back yet again.

At that moment, Sugar Bun quickly ran over with some toys in his hands.

He shouted at Sawyer, "Dad, toy, toy!"

Sawyer was embarrassed. How could he have forgotten about this little boy? Just as he was clueless as to how to explain himself, Juju pulled Sugar Bun to the side. She scolded, "Idiot, he isn't Dad!" Sugar Bun, on the other hand, was extremely excited. He kept running towards Sawyer.

He kept calling out, "Dad!"

Sawyer reached his hand out and took the toy.

"You want to play with blocks, don't you?"

Juju nodded and said, "Sugar Bun liked to play building blocks with Dad. He must miss Dad very much. That's why he's calling you that."

Then, as his elder sister, Juju picked Sugar Bun up.

She told him, "I'll play with you, alright?"

Sugar Bun looked at Sawyer then at Juju. He looked like he was trying to choose whom he wanted to play with.

However, it had been a while since Juju had returned home.

As for Sawyer, he had been staying at home recently.

In the end, Sugar Bun decided to play with Juju.

"Juju, want play."

"That's more like it!" After Juju finished speaking, she brought Sugar Bun to the side to play.

Sawyer looked at the children playing and having fun, listening to the sound of Eudora cooking coming from the kitchen. Suddenly, some indulgent thoughts flashed through his mind. Just as he was thinking about that, Eudora's voice interrupted his train of thought.

She yelled, "Dinner's ready!"

Juju immediately pulled Sugar Bun up, "I'll take you to wash your hands."

Sawyer was standing still when Eudora called out to him.

She said, "You're our guest today. Come and have a seat!"

Sawyer walked over to take a look at the dishes on the table. They were the same as before. Half of them were his favorites, and the other half was the children and Eudora's favorites. Sawyer stood at that familiar spot. Eudora had also placed a set of cutleries there.

The children avoided that seat and sat down one by one at their own.

Eudora looked at the seat where Sawyer had been staring at, and then she awkwardly explained.

She then awkwardly explained, "Amos used to sit there. Although he is gone, he has always been in our hearts. The children aren't willing to remove his position. I'm sorry. You don't mind, do you?" Sawyer's heart ached. He wanted to say that he indeed did mind, but at the same time, he felt that he did not have the right to say so.

In the end, he could only shake his head as he replied, "No!"

"Have a seat! I don't know what you like to eat, so I've simply cooked some food. If you don't like the food, you can just tell me!" Sawyer shook his head again, "No, that won't happen. All of these dishes are my favorites!"
