My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Christopher took a few steps backward and made his way downstairs. He then took his mobile phone out to call Eudora. "I'm sorry, I still have a lot of matters to attend to here, so I can't go to the hospital. I hope Juju is alright!"

"She's fine!" Eudora shook her head. She paused for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, have I troubled you? I..."

"Eudora..." Christopher interrupted her quickly and continued, "Eudora, I should be the one to apologize. I accidentally met a girl on my way to your house this morning and I think that I'm starting to like her."

Eudora frowned. She said, "You..."

"Let's call off the wedding, okay? Didn't you say that you would give me your blessings if I happened to meet someone I like? Could you give me your blessings now?"

Eudora's instinct told her that this was not as simple as he claimed.

"What kind of girl is she?"

"A drunk girl. She bumped into me in a daze. She's very cute, just like a little rabbit. I think she had already stolen my heart and this was the first time I felt this way about a girl." His words were reasonable and Eudora was a little convinced. "Then... I wish you the best of luck."

"Thank you!" Christopher clenched his mobile phone tightly but there was still a smile on his face. "I'll introduce you to her if I have the chance."

"Okay!" Eudora nodded in reply.

Christopher finally broke down after hanging up the call. He smiled bitterly and took out the diamond ring that he had prepared from his pocket. Eudora had agreed to his proposal the other night, but she did not accept the ring.

He thought that he could finally give it to her today, but in the end, it still stayed with him.

The diamond ring dazzled brightly and it stung his eyes. Christopher threw it casually into a trash can next to him and slowly left.

He had only taken a few steps forward before a girl in a hospital gown suddenly stopped him.

"Hey, you've thrown the wrong thing away!"

Christopher was surprised. He turned around to see a girl smiling at him. "Your diamond ring."

"I don't want it anymore! You can have it!"

The girl was taken aback. She said, "You're not proposing to me. Why would I want your diamond ring?"

Christopher could not help but laugh. He was feeling a little helpless and this little girl was reprimanding him out of nowhere.

He wanted to end the conversation quickly, so he just said randomly, "Then I will propose to you now. We will get married immediately if you agree to it."

The girl was surprised and her fair face suddenly turned red. Christopher knew that no sane person would not agree to it. She would probably just think that he was flirting with her, so he was ready to walk away.

To his surprise, the girl behind him suddenly ran to him and grabbed his arm.

"You're the one who said that, okay? Wait for me, I'll go upstairs and get changed. We'll get married right away. Whoever that doesn't go is a bad puppy."

This time, Christopher was speechless.

After Eudora hung up the phone, she looked at the sky and decided to go out to buy some breakfast.

However, she was worried about leaving Juju alone in the hospital. The door was pushed open when she was about to call for food delivery.

Amos was still wearing the same clothes as the night before. He entered with a bag of breakfast.

"I bought them from a shop nearby. I don't know if it fits your appetite but you could have some first! I'll ask Auntie Valerie to bring some soup in the afternoon."

Eudora pursed her lips. She said, "Thank you for last night but you don't have to bring anything for us."

At the moment, however, Juju struggled to sit up from the bed and said, "Mommy, I'm hungry. I want to eat." Eudora was speechless.

"Forget it, thank you. I'll pay you!"

"Eudora..." Amos frowned and said, "Do we really have to be like this?"

Eudora did not reply. She merely took the breakfast from Amos. When she saw the stubble on his chin, she could not help but say, "Didn't you just recover? You should go home and have some rest! Otherwise you'll get sick again after Juju recovers!"

Amos' eyes lit up. He immediately nodded when he realized that Eudora was concerned about him. "I'll go home right away."

He had only taken a few steps but he suddenly turned back to grab Eudora's hand.

"Don't marry Christopher, okay?"

Eudora was at a loss and she heard him say, "I can't lose you."

Eudora's heart ached slightly and she remembered what Harley told her that day. Harley said that Amos was a man who was not afraid of anything, yet he could not seem to bring himself before her. The Amos who was standing before her now looked so beaten up, and he looked just like a poor beggar.

"That depends on your performance!" Eudora finally replied.

Amos was stunned. After a second, he suddenly laughed, "Well. I will perform great!"

Juju's cheers came from behind Eudora. "Good luck!"

Eudora could not help but scolded Juju, "Well, you're so full of mischief..."

Juju suddenly softened her voice and said, "Mommy......"

Juju was still burning with fever and Eudora dared not lecture her anymore. She took out the breakfast that Amos had brought and ate them with Juju. She put Juju to bed after they were done eating. After Juju fell asleep, Eudora started browsing the Internet on her mobile phone.

There was no news of Christopher's marriage on the Internet. They kept a low profile, so it was natural for outsiders to not know of it.

Perhaps this was for the best. If everyone knew about it, then she would have made the Gellert Family a laughing stock.

At noon, Auntie Valerie came over with some food.

Auntie Valerie was distressed when she saw Juju's pale face.

"It's only been a few days since I saw Juju, but she has already gotten so thin. She must eat more to make up for what she has lost."

Juju liked Auntie Valerie very much so she would always be obedient around her. Auntie Valerie took over the bowl in Eudora's hand and said, "Let me feed her. You should go out and have some lunch. I think you and President Granger have both lost weight too."

Amos entered the ward while they were chatting.

He had gone back to have a change of clothes. He also shaved his stubble away. He looked so much better and finally look like a cool president. His cold eyes immediately softened when his gaze fell on Eudora. There was no trace of coldness in them.

Eudora felt chills all over her body when she noticed that he was staring at her. She then said hurriedly, "Have you eaten?"

Amos shook his head and he looked like an obedient puppy who was waiting for its owner to speak. Noticing his behavior, Eudora was speechless.

Auntie Valerie said hurriedly, "There are still some silverware in lunch boxes. I have prepared them for you and Miss. You could eat together!" Eudora could not refuse because Auntie Valerie had already prepared everything, so she sat down on the couch.

Upon seeing this, Amos also sat down opposite her.

The two of them ate quietly. Eudora only ate from the dishes in front of her and she did not touch anything on Amos' side.

Amos noticed this and he put a piece of chicken into her bowl.

"You should eat more."

Eudora stared at the piece of chicken. She then raised her head and she met Amos' expectant gaze. After a long pause, she finally ate it.

The corner of Amos' lips curled when he saw her eating it. After that, Amos kept shoving more food into Eudora's bowl and she was almost stuffed to death.
