My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 181



Chapter 181

At this very critical moment, Amos suddenly pulled her up and turned around with a swift motion. He fell

on the couch, while Eudora fell on top of him.

Their awkward position made Eudora's heart skipped a beat. Embarrassed, she scrambled to stand up

again.

But the next second, her legs gave way and she slipped again. This time, her lips brushed onto Amos'

cheek, flaring up the situation even more.

"I'm... I'm sorry."

Eudora hurriedly got up and was baffled at the series of events that just happened. Just minutes ago,

she had said in a righteous tone that she didn't want to have anything to do with him, but the next

second, this happened.

Amos felt his heart become hollow once again the moment she got up from him.

Thus, when Eudora apologized to him, he suddenly replied, "You've harassed me, and now you have

to take responsibility for your actions."

Eudora was speechless.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Amos said again, "I am serious! I don't allow anyone to do this to me."

Eudora frowned at him, "Amos, are you sure you want to do this?"

"I'm sure!" Amos answered, "You're married with a child. Why should I allow myself to be treated by

The more he talked, the more righteous he sounded. Eudora felt that if he were to continue talking, he

would end up making her sound like an evil and indecent woman who would harass men.

She interrupted him helplessly, "What do you want me to do? Do you want to touch me back? Fine

then!"

After that, she walked over to him, but Amos added absentmindedly, "You bullied a disabled person. If

you want to repay me, you have you repay me tenfold!"

Eudora was speechless again.

"When did you become so shameless?"

"After you left."

Eudora almost choked at his answer. "What if I don't agree?"

"If you don't agree, I'll come over every day and stay at your place, as a way for you to pay off your

'debt'."

Eudora couldn't be bothered to argue with him any further, so she shrugged at him and answered with

a simple 'whatever'. It was not a big deal. If Amos really came to her place, she just would not open the

door for him. How would he be able to come in then?

After thinking about it, she went back to her room to rest.

After she left, Amos touched the spot on his cheek where Eudora's lips had briefly brushed upon a

moment ago. Her aura had managed to calm his Lying on the couch, he closed his eyes.

After five years, Amos could finally have a peaceful sleep.

The next day, when Eudora got out of bed, she found that Amos had already woken up.

His belongings were no longer where they were last night. Eudora was stunned. She thought that he

had left.

But the next second, she heard Juju exclaim. "Mommy, what a sumptous breakfast!"

Following Juju's excited squeal, Eudora glanced towards the direction and saw breakfast laid out

perfectly on the table. There was a child's breakfast too, with a bear- shaped pancakes and a heart-

shaped egg.

There was also milk.

Along with that were two more dishes, which were meant for adults. They were just ordinary breakfast.

Juju couldn't wait and wanted to rush over. However, Eudora stopped her in time, "You haven't brushed

your teeth yet. Hurry."

After Juju ran to do so, Eudora went into the kitchen.

Amos had prepared everything and was about to go out to the dining area. "You don't have to thank

me. I just want to repay you for letting me stay the night."

Eudora was not planning on thanking him anyway, so she said, "I hope that you won't do this again."

Before she could finish her words, Juju, who had already finished brushing her teeth, skipped towards

them. Her toothy smile was so big that her eyes scrunched up into a fine line. "I like it!"

Eudora was speechless.

She felt that it was time to have a serious talk with Juju.

On the way to school, Eudora explained to Juju, "Juju, Uncle Granger has his own family, so from today

on, we can't go to Clearwater Bay anymore."

Juju wanted to pout, but Eudora immediately snapped at her, "Don't sulk! Did you forget what Mommy

had said to you? Girls should be strong and independent."

"But I like Uncle Granger."

A chill went down Eudora's spine, and a thought popped in her mind. Was there really something such

as a father-daughter connection?

Eudora dismissed the thought quickly. She took a deep breath and said, "No, you can't like Uncle

Granger. Uncle Granger has his own child, and you have your own father!"

Unexpectedly, the next second, Juju looked at Eudora suspiciously. "I like my Daddy, but I also like

Uncle Granger. Mommy, what are you afraid of?"

"Naomi George!"

Eudora raised her voice. She would not address Juju with her full name unless she was particularly

angry at her.

"Please listen to me!" Juju didn't say a word. She got off the car and went straight into the kindergarten.

This was the first time that the mother and daughter had quarreled, and it was because of Amos.

Eudora looked at Juju as she walked away. She felt helpless.

When she saw her teacher coming out, she quickly told the teacher, "Naomi is in a bad mood today,

please take care of her." Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Okay, Miss George, don't worry."

Eudora stood outside the gates for a while before turning away.

Eudora's mind was all over the place. Her mood affected her measurements at work and the accuracy

was off, so she decided to take a break.

When she was deep in her thoughts, a man behind her patted her on the shoulder. "What are you

thinking about?"

Eudora was stunned. When she turned around to see clearly, she saw that it was Christopher.

"What are you doing here?"

"I haven't seen you for the past few days, so I decided to come and visit you. What's wrong? You don't

look like you're in a good mood."

Eudora shook her head. "I'm fine. What about you? How are matters at home?"

Christopher curled his lips and said, "There will be a dinner party tonight. Why don't you come with

me?"

"Oh?" Eudora was taken aback. "Is the party to "You're smart!" Christopher laughed. "There's an

ongoing project that is not doing great. They tried everything without success, and now they need my

help. I have declined their offer several times. This must be their way of winning me over."

Eudora cracked up. "Young man, please keep your ego in check."

Christopher's ego right now was totally sky-high.

Weirdly, he felt relieved knowing that his family needed his help. His brother and father, who were so

cruel and mean towards him, finally saw his potential and acknowledged his existence.

"Fine then, I'll go with you!"

"Thank you, I appreciate it!" Christopher said with a grin.

In order to look the part and not to humiliate Christopher as his dinner partner, Eudora dolled herself up

and changed into an elegant evening dress. After they were ready, they went to the kindergarten to

pick Juju up.

Juju was still angry and refused to talk to Eudora.

Christopher's eyes flitted between the mother and daughter. "What's wrong? My little princess is angry."

"Mommy is a bad person," Juju pouted.

"You can't say that about your mother!" Christopher said, "But, you are only allowed to be mad for one

night. You have to be back to your old self tomorrow!" In the car, Eudora helped Juju change into her

princess dress while en route to the dinner party.

It was obvious that the Gellert family had put in tremendous effort into the banquet. They invited a lot of

high- ranking officials in Rosaville City, the reason being that they were going to give Christopher an

official introduction this time.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw that some of the Gellert family had been waiting outside

for him. The guy at the front looked a little like Christopher. As soon as he came up, he clasped

Christopher's hand, shaking it enthusiastically. It was Christopher's oldest brother, Anthony Gellert.

"Ah, Christopher, you're finally back. Dad has been waiting for your arrival."

Christopher gave a bland response, and when no one was looking, he smoothly let go of his brother's

hand.
