My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 195

However, dreams were just dreams, and they could not be compared to reality.

Eudora came back to her senses and hurriedly took the ring away from Juju's hand.

"Juju, you can't simply touch Uncle's stuff. It's impolite."

Juju pouted and looked like she was about to cry when Amos said hurriedly, "It's fine. It belongs to you

anyway!"

It was only then that Eudora realized the ring was the one that Amos had given her. Se had taken it

with her when she left, but then she lost it.

She thought that she wouldn't be able to find it, but she didn't expect it would end up back in Amos'

possession.

Eudora could feel heat gushing into the hand that was holding the ring. The memories of the ring

suddenly made her flinch as if scalding her finger, and Eudora hurriedly loosened her grip.

"I left long ago. This isn't mine anymore!"

After that, she bent down and reached out to Juju. "Follow Mommy back to our room, alright?"

Obviously, Juju didn't want to leave, so Eudora had to add, "Uncle has work to do, he can't accompany

you all the time!"

Obviously, the words had zero effect on a kid who had just been harmed and traumatized. It was

basically useless. On the contrary, Juju was worried that Amos would leave and threw herself directly

into his arms.

She gave Eudora a headache. In the end, it was Amos who finally spoke.

"It's okay. I'll be pushing my schedule back for the next two days. I'll take it as my annual leave. We'll

wait and see if Juju's condition had stabilized by then."

Furthermore, Amos was actually very happy to accompany Juju.

If Eudora was his weakness, then Juju should be the softest spot in his heart. All Juju had to do was to

look at him with her huge round eyes, which always made Amos' heart melt.

He was willing to give Juju anything she wanted.

Since Eudora couldn't change his mind, she let Amos have his way. Perhaps, this was the only chance

Juju could get closer to her biological father.

When Juju got better, she would definitely take her away.

Thinking of this, Eudora went downstairs.

Juju didn't eat anything during lunch in the hospital, so Eudora wanted to cook something delicious for

dinner to lift her spirits.

When Auntie Valerie saw Eudora entering the kitchen, she was very happy and she voluntarily helped

to prepare for dinner. When dinner was ready, Eudora went to the garden to look for Amos.

When she went over, she saw Amos drawing with Juju. Amos was acting as a model for Juju to draw.

None of them spoke, but the sight looked warm and cozy.

A gust of wind blew, causing Amos' hair to fly in the wind. He looked just like Prince Charming from the

fairytales.

However, what was different from the past was that this prince was no longer as cold. He was much

warmer and gentler. Eudora used to imagine what Amos would be like with a child one day, and now

was the best example.

After taking a deep breath, Eudora walked over to them. "Time for dinner!"

Amos hummed in reply and looked at Juju. "Little princess, are you ready?"

Juju nodded. Eudora looked over and saw Juju's drawing at once. She was immediately stunned.

She thought that Juju had drawn was a picture of Amos, but she didn't expect that she would draw a

picture of a family of three.

A man and a woman were holding the hands of a little girl in a princess dress. On the side, Juju wrote

three words crookedly, which spelt "we are together".

Eudora felt her nose twinge. Suddenly, she felt that she had let Juju down.

She hurriedly bent down and picked her up. In an instant, she gave up the idea of looking for

Christopher, in hopes that he could gain Juju's favor.

She told herself silently, "Just wait for a while until Juju gets better, then we'll leave."

At dinner, everyone ate happily because of Eudora's excellent cooking. After dinner, Amos and Juju

played games in the living room, while Eudora washed the dishes.

By the time she came out, Juju had fallen asleep. She was nestled in Amos' arms and looked very

peaceful.

Amos sat there in an awkward position, looking a little out of place as he was afraid of waking Juju.

Eudora had never seen him like this and had the urge to chuckle. She pursed her lips and walked over,

"Pass her to me. I'll take her upstairs."

Just as Amos was about to raise his head, Eudora had lowered her head. The next second, Eudora's

soft lips gently brushed Amos' chin, igniting a tingly sensation.

The long- lost feeling shocked the both of them. Suddenly, there was an added air of electricity.

It was not until they were interrupted by a shrill mobile ringtone that they both came back to their

senses.

Eudora quickly carried Juju and went upstairs.

Amos watched her walk away and answered the phone grumpily. "This better be important."

It was from Harley. When he heard this, he was stunned. "What's the matter? I thought Eudora is

staying with you for the time being, why are you so grumpy? Are you still not satisfied?"

"Shut up!" Amos gnashed his teeth. "Alright, alright!" Harley said, "The test results are out."

Amos frowned. "Who was it?"

Harley was silent for a moment before he said, "You should be able to guess!"

Indeed, Amos had guessed it a long time ago. Now that Harley had already confirmed his suspicions,

Amos immediately spat out a name. "Was it Caleb Chuck?"

"Yes!" Harley confirmed, "I'm really curious. It's understandable if you said that Caleb wants to hurt you,

but why did he have to kidnap Juju? What good will this do to him?"

This sentence gave him a clue. It made Amos realize something.

After a while, he said, "I've got it!"

After hanging up the phone, Amos called Clint. "Use whatever resources we have and hunt down

Caleb!"

Clint was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. It seemed that Caleb had crossed Amos' line

once again.

"Got it!" Clint said. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

After everything was arranged, Amos got himself into the wheelchair and went upstairs. In this quiet

night, the sound of the wheelchair squeaking in the hallway could be heard.

According to his usual routine, he would go to the study and look at some documents, but the thought

of the two people he cared about in the next room suddenly came to his mind. Even though they were

separated by a wall, their presence was enough to make him at ease. Amos gave up going to the study

halfway there and went straight back to his room to sleep.

In the middle of the night, he was stirred awake by a burst of noise. Years of habit made him very alert

and vigilant. In a second, he got up from the bed, opened the door, and went out.

In the next room, Juju was wailing loudly all of a sudden.

Amos had no time to think of anything and rushed inside their room. The first thing he saw was the little

girl sobbing profusely, her face turning all red.

Eudora was holding her, and the two sat helplessly in the middle of the bed. Amos' heart tightened,

prompting him to embrace both of them into his arms.

"Alright, stop crying!"

Hearing his voice, Juju's cries became louder. Amos hurriedly asked Eudora, "What happened?"

When he didn't hear Eudora answering him, Amos looked up and saw that tears were falling from

Eudora's cheeks as well. Even though she seemed strong during the day, but after all, Juju was her

daughter.

Deep down, she was extremely worried about Juju.

Especially when she saw Juju crying all of a sudden, Eudora felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a

needle. She would rather be the one who suffered all the pain, instead of her precious child.
