My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Eudora made her way downstairs without hesitation with Juju in her arms.

Juju was so nervous that she kept struggling but to no avail. Finally, she reached out towards Amos and cried loudly. Amos hurried to Juju when he heard her cries.

However, when he thought of his dark past, he stopped dead once again.

Perhaps, he could never escape from his past. In that case, perhaps it would be better to end things with Eudora.

Wendy was right. How could a person like him, who had been living in the dark, ever stand under the sun again? The rays of sunshine may be shining on him but darkness would always seep from his heart.

It would be unfair to Eudora and Juju. In that case, he should just let them go!

He made his mind up at that moment and he stood rooted to the ground.

Following that, Juju suddenly screamed, "Daddy!"

Amos' heart skipped a beat, and even Eudora was surprised. Juju was speaking again!

Juju was still sobbing in Eudora's arms. "Daddy, I want my Daddy!"

Instantly, Eudora's temper dissipated. She stopped and listened carefully to the footsteps behind her. In truth, she only said those remarks out of anger. She was livid when Amos acted like he was disgusted with them.

However, she also knew that Amos was in a bad mood lately. If he was willing to give her an explanation, then she might just forgive him.

After that, she turned back to look at Amos.

On the other hand, Amos almost rushed to Juju when she called him 'Daddy1.

Yet, when his gaze met Eudora's eyes, he suddenly stopped again.

Her eyes were clear and bright like how they used to be many years ago. Wendy was right. How could he possibly not recognize that pair of prominent eyes?

Perhaps, it was not because he couldn't tell. Perhaps it was because he had never dared to think about that possibility. Deep down, he hoped that Eudora was not that little girl.

However, the reality was that Eudora was indeed that little girl from the basement many years ago. And that fact made him feel even more disgusted by himself.

Wendy mentioned that she had seen his most embarrassing and disgusting side...

All of a sudden, a rusty sweet taste filled his throat. At that moment, Amos wanted to place his hand over his chest very badly. Yet, he was afraid that Eudora would find out, so he held back.

He was afraid that he would vomit blood in front of Eudora, so he gritted his teeth and said, I'm not your father!" These few words pierced Amos' and Eudora's hearts like a sharp sword. However, only Eudora knew that Amos was Juju's biological father.

Nevertheless, his intentions were clear as day now, weren't they? He despised her!

Eudora finally understood. He used her to cut all ties with Wendy and now he was starting to despise er and Juju.

Fine.

He was giving her a wake-up call, telling her to quit dreaming!

Eudora ignored Juju's tears and ran downstairs with Juju in her arms.

After the two of them left, Amos finally ran to the nearest trash can in the room and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Amos tidied himself after the episode and slowly calmed down. He then noticed a scribbled paper on the side table. "I want Daddy, I want Daddy!"

His heart sank and pain infiltrated his entire body. He did not know where the pain was coming from but it was so agonizing that he could barely breathe.

After struggling for a moment, he finally went out to check on them, his heart filled with worry.

The pair waited for a long time on the side of the road but they could not seem to hail a taxi. Amos picked up his mobile phone and called the new chauffeur whom he had just hired. The chauffeur answered the call in a daze. He was confused when the caller told hr him to pick someone up in front of Amos' house.

He asked hurriedly, "Who are you?"

"It's Amos Granger!"

The chauffeur instantly snapped out of his daze and got up to put on some clothes. "President Granger, I'll be there right away. Don't worry."

"It's not me that you're picking up, but a woman with a child. Drive your own car and pretend that you're a taxi driver, do you understand?" The chauffeur did not quite understand!

He had finally found a decent job with Valiant East and became the chauffeur for the company's president.

However, why did he feel like a thief at that moment?

He dared not tell Amos his real thoughts. He was afraid that he would be fired if he angered the boss.

The chauffeur nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I understand!"

"What if she wants to pay me for the fare?"

Amos did not answer him and merely hung up the call.

It was summer but it was a little chilly at night. Furthermore, it looked like it was going to rain.

Eudora was not worried about herself but she was worried about Juju getting drenched. Meanwhile, Juju was feeling a little tired after bawling for so long. However, she could not stop sobbing and kept on whispering, "I want Daddy!"

Eudora knew that Juju was heartbroken, but she did not know how to comfort her daughter.

Fortunately, a taxi finally stopped in front of them. Eudora got into the taxi quickly and said, "Take us to Rosaville City Hotel."

Along the way, the chauffeur could not help but glance at Eudora and Juju from the rearview mirror.

They were a good looking pair, especially the child. She looked exactly like President Granger!

The chauffeur was delighted. It turned out that to be President Granger's wife and child! However, it seemed like they had a fight. Nevertheless, President Granger must have cared about them a lot because he still asked him to pick them up even after they had an argument.

After sending the two of them to the hotel, Eudora paid him the fare.

The chauffeur took it but he felt uneasy about it.

Would President Granger be angry if he knew that he had received the money? Even if he was okay with it, the chauffeur was afraid that he would be in trouble if she brought this up in the future once they made up.

After thinking about it for a long time, the chauffeur decided to send the money back to Amos!

However, when he arrived at Clearwater Bay, the chauffeur noticed that the door was still ajar like how it was when he left.

m

He did not dare enter without notifying Amos, so he tried dialing Amos' phone number. To his surprise, no one answered. However, the driver could hear the mobile phone ringing inside the house. Did something happen?

The chauffeur found it strange and entered the house hurriedly. He saw Amos on the floor as soon as he went in. Amos was no longer breathing.

There was a shocking amount of blood on the floor in front of Amos.

The chauffeur was shocked. "Boss..."

It was already the next day when Eudora woke up.

She was woken up by a nightmare, but this time, it was not the dark basement that scared her. Strangely, she dreamed about Amos, and there was a cold expression on his face. Eudora frowned and got up to pour herself a glass of water.

The clock on the wall showed that it was already nine o'clock in the morning. She showered and changed her clothes before calling the construction site. She was told that the project that she was helping her friend with was finally completed.

Eudora was very embarrassed. "I did not help much!"

"Nonsense. You were involved in an accident, we understand that. You even asked your friend to come over and help us even though you couldn't make it. Your friend was great and we were happy to have cooperated with him."

Eudora was surprised. She asked, "What friend?"

"Your designer friend? Eugene Lance, the famous designer in Rosaville City? In short, I am very satisfied with his service and I'll pay you the remaining amount soon."

Eugene? Wasn't he the designer under Amos' company? Eudora frowned.

Eudora recalled Amos' cold face in her dream and she said hurriedly, "Forget about the rest of the payment. I don't want it anymore."
