My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 210

Harley sighed and said, "It's a little scary. Let's not talk about it anymore, okay?"

"Is it because of Amos?"

"Do you know about it too?"

"Mm, I know a little." Eudora did not tell him everything, "It wasn't anyone's fault and I won't think any

less of him because of this."

Harley breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Eudora meaningfully, his heart moved.

"You're indeed a fine woman. Amos is lucky to have you."

Eudora was embarrassed, and she immediately told him off, "Stop spouting nonsense."

"I'm just telling the truth!" Harley continued, "In fact, this incident was a traumatic experience for Amos

and he had suffered all these years because of it. That is also where he got his disorder from. Back

then, he had the worst injuries among those who were rescued. He was covered in wounds and that

old hag even..."

Eudora's heart skipped a beat and Harley's face darkened as well.

He could not bring himself to say those words in front of Eudora. Amos had been indecently assaulted

by that old woman.

He cursed under his breath softly, hoping that Eudora did not hear it. Harley then recollected his

emotions before continuing.

"In fact, I hope that you wouldn't blame Amos for whatever that had happened with Wendy. No one

would know how bleak life could be if they had never seen h*ll before. I guess Wendy was like the light

that shone brightly in his darkest time. He had to repay her. Fortunately, Wendy dug her own grave.

Everything is finally over now."

Eudora initially just wanted to have a clearer picture of her own situation, but she did not expect to hear

this.

Suddenly, a terrible scene flashed through her mind. In a dark room, an old woman had a mask on and

she was slowly approaching a young boy who was covered in blood. A grim smile was plastered across

that woman's face.

Eudora gasped, suddenly holding the side of her head with her arms.

"What's wrong?" Harley asked worriedly.

Eudora took a deep breath and said, "Nothing!"

"Are you sure? Do you want to go to the hospital? Amos would kill me if anything happens to you!"

"I'm really fine. Let's go home!"

Unexpectedly, she just wanted to see Amos at this moment!

Meanwhile, Amos and Juju were still playing in the living room. Harley immediately spotted Amos

sitting on the floor with his two long legs together. He really looked like a child. How great would it have

been if all those cruel things had never happened to him?

Juju was sitting across Amos, and she looked exactly like him. Harley would have thought that Juju

was Amos' daughter if he did not know better.

Harley was deep in his thoughts when Amos spoke, his head still lowered.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not interested in you."

Harley was utterly speechless.

"I'm not interested in you either! There's a huge world out there and you're the last person I will go for!"

"Is that so?" Amos asked.

"Of course! To me, you're just a man with a bad temper. But to Eudora, you're probably the most

perfect man in her eyes."

Eudora was taken aback. Why did they have to drag her into the conversation?

Eudora knew that Harley probably came all the way here because he had things to discuss with Amos,

so she picked Juju up and said, "Uncle Louis is here to eat with us. Would you like to help Mommy in

the kitchen?"

Juju turned to look at Harley, who had started winking at her. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Upon seeing that, Amos immediately punched him on the head!

Harley immediately let out a wail while Juju burst into laughter.

Amos then nodded at Eudora, who then quickly left with Juju.

Amos only spoke after the pair went into the kitchen, "What can I help you with?"

"Let's talk in your study!"

Amos observed the photo closely in the study and the nightmare came flooding back.

It was h*ll in that dark room.

Amos' fingers were clenched into fists and he closed his eyes.

Harley went up to check on him hurriedly. "Are you okay? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have shown you the

photo!"

Amos chuckled and said, "I would have been able to find out for myself even if you didn't show me the

picture. Do you think it's that easy to brush my past under the carpet?"

Harley frowned. Of course, he knew that it was impossible to conceal the truth from Amos. That was

why he would rather be honest with him.

It would be better to let Amos know now rather than letting him suffer a blow in the future.

"Any progress on the case?"

Amos suddenly asked.

"Everything should be going smoothly hereon. The old woman had committed a lot of crimes. She will

be sentenced to life imprisonment even if no one is willing to testify against her. You don't have to worry

about it. The Interpol is just looking for more victims to get some solid evidence just in case." "Alright!"

Amos nodded. Harley then added, "The photo....Shall I burn it away?"

"That's not necessary! You may leave now. I want to be alone for a while!"

Harley parted his lips to speak, but in the end, nothing came out.

It was useless for him to say anything under such circumstances.

The priority now was to give the person involved in the incident some time to process everything.

"Well, I can't wait to try Eudora's cooking. We'll wait for you to come down!"

Sure enough, his expression softened slightly when he heard Eudora's name. Harley then closed the

door and left silently.

Amos shifted himself onto his desk chair and closed his eyes, falling deeper into his thoughts. He held

the photo tightly in his hand.

Meanwhile, Harley had made his way downstairs and immediately called for Juju.

"Juju, do you like swallows? Shall I fold one for you?"

Juju shook her head with a disgusted look.

"Then... what about a ribbon?" Harley said with a frown. He did not know how to make it but he thought

that the little girl would like it.

Unexpectedly, Juju continued to shake her head.

Harley suddenly felt embarrassed and he yelled at Eudora, "Eudora, what does your daughter like?"

"Don't yell! Otherwise, no dinner for you!" Eudora threatened.

"Well!" Harley quickly kept his mouth shut.

He then saw Juju walking to the corner to take a toy gun out.

Harley was at a loss of words.

A little girl in a princess dress was surprisingly holding a toy gun. It was such a strange sight.

At that moment, he seemed to have realized something. He then said, "I see, it turns out that Juju likes

guns! I like guns too. Let me fold one for you."

This time, Juju agreed happily.

When Eudora came out of the kitchen, she saw Juju holding the toy gun that Harley had made for her.

She was trying out different poses with it.

Eudora was stunned, "Harley, you're being a bad influence on my daughter!"

"No, I'm not. It's what she likes! Look at her poses. Does it look like she had just learned them?"

Eudora's head was throbbing. She thought that it would be better not to invite Harley over to the house

after this.

She then looked around and said, "Where's Amos? Ask him to come down for dinner!"

"It would be better for you to ask him. He might not be in a good mood."

Eudora remembered what Harley had told her just now. After a moment of thought, she eventually

picked Juju up.

"Let's look for Uncle Amos!"

Juju was displeased with Eudora's choice of word and she shook her head violently. Eudora then

quickly rephrased her words and said, "Daddy! Shall we call Daddy to come down for dinner?"

Juju nodded and followed after Eudora happily.

Harley, who was standing behind them, was speechless.

Daddy? What Daddy? Was Amos able to win over the pair so quickly?
