My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 208

However, Amos refused to leave even though Eudora had pushed him with all her strength.

They were in an impasse when suddenly, a burst of laughter rang behind them.

Both of them were taken aback. At that moment, it was as though Eudora had completely forgotten

about chasing Amos away. "Juju, are you laughing?"

Juju smiled even more happily. She kept her eyes on both Eudora and Amos as if she could not get

enough of seeing them.

Ever since she had been involved in that traumatic incident, Juju had not smiled for the longest time.

Therefore, Amos was also very happy.

He took the opportunity to ask Juju.

"Juju? Do you want me to be your father?"

Eudora was speechless. She said reproachfully in a low voice, "Amos..."

Amos ignored her and asked Juju again, "Juju, if I were to become your father, I will be able to sleep

with you and your mother on the same bed every day!"

It was as if he was a wolf wagging its tail to coax a little sheep.

Surprisingly, Juju nodded. She then turned to look at Eudora pleadingly.

Eudora was prepared to reject the idea, but before she could, Juju had flashed the sweetest smile at

her.

Eudora was at a loss for words.

How could Eudora refuse a angelic smile like that?

After a long pause, she nodded. Juju immediately got up excitedly and kissed Eudora and Amos both

on their cheeks.

A lovely and sweet kiss!

Eudora felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. At the very least, her daughter was finally getting better.

Eudora did not chase Amos out of the room after that. She only spoke after Juju went back to sleep.

"I only agreed to this because Juju has been longing for a father, but this doesn't mean that I will marry

you."

Amos knew that she would say something along those lines. "It's okay. I have faith in myself. I will

make sure that you would be like Juju one day, unable to be apart from me even for a single second!"

Eudora was speechless. This man was getting even more narcissistic than before.

She turned to the other side of the bed, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

Amos gave Clint a quick call after Eudora had fallen asleep. "Get someone to dissolve Wendy's design

company tomorrow and... Find someone to follow Wendy..."

Clint's heart was filled with joy. "Alright!"

Wendy had finally worn off the last of Amos' patience and kindness after so many years. This was

certainly something to look forward to!

At the same time, Wendy was on the verge of collapse, having been overwhelmed by reporters at the

dinner party.

It was nearly midnight when everything finally ended. She bumped into a warm embrace as soon as

she exited the building.

Joy filled her heart and she said hurriedly, "Amos..."

The next second, Caleb's cold voice came above her head, "Amos? That man has abandoned you and

yet you're still looking for him?"

Wendy bit her lips and she immediately threw herself into Caleb's arms.

"Caleb, I was wrong. I've lost everything. Please, you can't abandon me too!"

Caleb froze, and he recalled what had happened many years ago. Long ago, Caleb met Wendy when

she was still a little girl. At that time, he was trying to steal some food out of hunger and desperation.

When he saw her, he thought that she looked like his deceased sister, so he gave her some food that

he had stolen.

Since then, Wendy followed him everywhere and there was nothing he could do to get rid of her.

Back then, she also told him the same thing. "Please, I don't have anything else. Please don't abandon

me!"

That was why he took her in then. In a flash, more than a decade had passed.

She had grown up and become his woman. However, she slowly became greedy and unsatisfied. She

began to yearn for the outside world. What could he do then?

Caleb admitted that he had a terrible temper. He would whip Wendy and starve her whenever he lost

his temper.

However, in the end, Wendy still ran away from him! She left Caleb just like that and went with another

man. She even dreamed of being with another man.

How could Caleb let her get what she wanted?

Didn't she end up coming back to him?

Caleb stretched his fingers out to pinch her chin. "Good girl, you should have listened to me from the

beginning. I will take care of you!"

After that, he pinned her on the couch and tore her clothes off.

Wendy pretended to be reluctant and shy but hatred was burning in her eyes. It was Amos and Eudora

who had pushed her over the edge.

Now, she had no choice but to return to the dark and horrible life she once had. She was going to live

in misery for the rest of her life...

"Don't blame me for being cruel!" Wendy thought furiously to herself.

While she was still immersed in her thoughts, she could hear erratic footsteps coming from outside the

door. "We're the police, open up!"

Caleb was stunned. He pulled the sheets hurriedly and threw it on Wendy. "Did you call the police?"

"I didn't!" Wendy was also dumbfounded, "You're the only one I have now in this world. Why would I do

that?"

Caleb squinted his eyes and looked at Wendy suspiciously. Wendy's heart sank. She knew that Caleb

was starting to suspect her. Immediately, she came up with a solution and said, "Go, I'll cover you."

There was hesitation in his eyes. The next second, he quickly grabbed Wendy and said, "Let's leave

together."

However, the police were starting to break the door down. Wendy pushed Caleb away and said, "I'll

wait for you to save me."

The next morning, Eudora woke up to Aunt Valerie's smiling face.

"Miss..."

Eudora looked at her in confusion, "Is your daughter-in-law pregnant again?" Otherwise, why would

she be so happy?

"If only that was true!" Auntie Valerie smiled and continued, "But the young people these days don't like

to have children and I couldn't care less about them. I'm happy because of you."

"Me?" Eudora asked, slightly taken aback.

"Yes! Didn't you know? Wendy was arrested last night."

"What?" Eudora was surprised, "Why was she arrested?"

"I'm not sure about the details but all I know is that she got arrested when the police were tracking

down an escaped convict. I have long said that Miss Liam is not a good person, so I was not surprised

by this outcome." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Eudora frowned. She turned to look at Amos, who was striding down the stairs, and she asked

hurriedly,

"Was it you?"

Amos nodded and said, "Yes! I've told you that I am your most competent assistant. Besides, I don't

want my woman to get too tired. Let me settle these unimportant matters for you."

Eudora was speechless.

After a while, she asked again, "Do you have any evidence?"

All these efforts would be useless if he did not have any evidence.

Amos suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her toward him. "Do you doubt your man's ability that

much? It seems like we have been apart for too long."

Eudora rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't think we're that close now anyway, so Mr. Granger,

please don't think so highly of yourself."

As soon as she finished speaking, Amos suddenly raised her voice to someone behind her, "Juju,

you're up?"

Eudora immediately became docile and cast a smile on her lips. Juju stared at both of them

suspiciously, as if to say, "Are you two arguing?"

Eudora shook her head quickly and said, "No! We're good."

However, Juju refused to believe it. She turned to Amos and looked at him with doubt.

Eudora quickly pinched his hand and said, "Amos, tell her. We weren't arguing just now, were we?"

Amos did not move but he pointed meaningfully to his cheek. Eudora was angry but she lowered her

head and kissed him on the cheek for Juju's sake.

Her soft lips brushed across his cheeks swiftly but it still made his heart throb.
