My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 244

Kaylene's words seemed to have evoked Bethany's sadness. She paused, "Hank was indeed a good

child. Whenever we celebrated his birthday, he would always give me the first piece of cake and he

would say that the birthday of a child is a day of suffering for the mother. Back then, he had always said

that he would make it up to me once he grows up but who knew that he..."

Bethany was visibly saddened when she spoke of this. Her fingers paused and she wiped the corner of

her eyes.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore."

Kaylene dared not say anything else when she realized that Bethany was upset. She said hurriedly,

"Shall I take you back for a rest?"

"No, you should head back first. I'll stay here for a little while more!"

Kaylene turned around and left. She immediately frowned after closing the door behind her. She

glanced in the direction where Eudora was staying at and then walked back to her own room.

There were several small buildings in the Granger family's mansion. The Old Master and Bethany were

living in the main building which was situated in the absolute center in the mansion. Meanwhile, Amos

and Eudora were staying in a small red building next to the main building.

Harry and Kaylene lived a little further away. They were staying in a villa behind the main building with

a garden in between.

At this moment, Harry was drinking some tea. When he saw Kaylene, he asked without looking at her,

"How was it?"

Kaylene's face was dark, "Bethany has gone senile. She's very close to Eudora now. She was chatting

with her in front of Hank's memorial tablet when I was there just now."

Harry frowned but he soon said, "Hasn't my sister-in-law always been like this? Otherwise, Hank

wouldn't have died when he was so young. She doesn't even take the duty of a mother seriously. Who

would care about her child?!"

"What should we do then? I heard from the servants that the Old Master had already promised Amos

that he will let Eudora and Juju stay here. If they continue to get along, it will only be a matter of time

before they get married. Then, what's the point of us living in humiliation for so many years?"

Harry's fingers paused slightly, "Did my brother really agree to let that woman live with us?"

"Yes! Amos has already gone to the company to deal with some affairs."

Harry was a little nervous, "I thought that my brother hated that woman."

"Who knows? I told you that she is not as simple as she looks. Now, both the father and the son are

fascinated by her."

"Nonsense. Why would my brother like her?"

"So what if he doesn't like her? His time is limited. Wouldn't everything belong to Amos once he dies?"

"Impossible!" Harry spoke through gritted teeth, "This brat humiliated me back then and I haven't

settled anything with him yet! I have been listening to my brother all these years and haven't done

anything. I even let my brother send Steven overseas. Now, it's obvious that my brother is going to

leave everything to that brat. My brother shouldn't blame me for being ungrateful then!"

He then suddenly asked, "Is Bethany still in Hank's place?"

"Yes!"

"She is heartbroken because she doesn't have any children left. Hank did not leave anyone behind

either. However, if she still had someone to rely on in this world, things might be different!"

Kaylene was taken aback, "You mean..."

Harry smiled and said, "You'd better find some time to talk to Bethany later. I'll talk to my brother. It's

Hank's death anniversary tomorrow. How could we do nothing?"

"Okay!"

Old Master Granger sat in his study after coming back from the garden. He had been holding the

corner of an album in a daze since he returned.

In the album, there was a little boy who looked very similar to Amos. There were photos of him in every

corner of the Granger mansion. However, the father was nowhere to be seen in the photos.

Old Master Granger sighed. In truth, he knew that he had failed as a father, be it for Amos or Hank.

Hank Granger was the product of his father's coercion. Old Master Granger had always been repulsed

by the mother and son, and he had never treated them well.

Fortunately, Hank was a good child. He had always been filial and gentle. Bethany was the same. She

had always been like this even though she was a noblewoman from a rich family.

After Hank left, their relationship gradually improved.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door and Harry's voice came from outside. "Brother, are you

there?"

Old Master Granger came back to his senses and sighed. "Yes, come in."

Harry opened the door and entered with a chess set. "Brother, Steven just sent this from abroad. He

said that he has to give this to his uncle, so I brought it over for you."

Old Master Granger's expression softened a little, "This child is really thoughtful. He has been abroad

for a few years now. How is he?"

"He's alright!" Harry continued, "He has learned a lot and he even got a scholarship last year! He

should be coming back soon!"

"Not bad. You should ask to come home soon then!"

Harry nodded, stealing a glance at Old Master Granger's album. "Are you missing Hank?"

Old Master Granger pursed his lips but did not reply. Harry added, "It has been eight years now. If Hank

was still alive, his child must have been grown up by now, right? Hank has been well-behaved ever

since he was a child and he has always respected his elders. What a pity."

Old Master Granger's face darkened. Harry noticed the change in his expression, and he immediately

pretended as if he had said something wrong. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I've made you sad

again!"

Old Master Granger was still quiet. He closed the album and stowed it away in his drawer.

Harry spoke again, "Brother, it's Hank's death anniversary tomorrow. Why don't we climb up the

mountain and pray for him? I heard from Kaylene that Bethany has been staying at Hank's altar for the

entire afternoon. Bethany cares about you, so she did not say anything but in her heart, she still hoped

that you could do something for Hank!"

The old man's face changed slightly, "Did Bethany really stay there for the whole day?"

"Of course! It's not easy for Bethany too."

The Old Master nodded, "You're right. Indeed, it's not easy for her." After that, he turned to call his

assistant, "Go to the shrine and make the necessary preparations." Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

The assistant then left with the orders. Old Master Granger said, "I'm going to see your sister-in-law."

"Okay! Brother, let me push you there."

On the other hand, the servants had arranged a room for Eudora not long after she returned to her

room. It was still in the same building, but the new arrangement was that Juju's room would be

between hers and Amos'.

Eudora did not mind. After all, she had decided to face all the hardships together with Amos. Therefore,

she could just follow his pace.

When Juju was taking a nap, Eudora took the opportunity to send her resume online. She wanted a job

that allowed her to design and work from home.

This way, she could always take care of Juju.

However, she did not expect that so many people would contact her from her resume. She filtered

through them for the whole afternoon.

It was not until she was in the arms of a familiar man that she realized that Amos had come home.
