My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 221

The woman on the phone was very curious but she did not insist when Eudora was adamant that she

did not want the payment.

Juju had already woken up. However, she was not in a good state because of what had happened the

night before.

She sat there in a daze and she did not even react when Eudora talked to her.

Eudora George was frightened. She was afraid that Juju had reverted to how she was previously.

Eudora was anxious as she comforted Juju gently.

However, Juju was still indifferent and Eudora, who was getting more impatient and worried, spoke

sternly.

"Don't you know that Mommy would feel sad when you act like this? He's not your Daddy, so you

should not be sad because of him. Mommy is willing to let you pick another Daddy if you really want

one. But, no matter what, you're the most important person to Mommy, so you must be alright, okay?"

Juju slowly raised her head to stare at Eudora. Her big round eyes were filled with sadness.

"I don't want anyone else to be my Daddy. Why doesn't Daddy want me anymore?"

Eudora felt a sharp pain in her heart and she held Juju in her arms hurriedly.

"Mommy wants you! Mommy loves you. I believe that there are a lot of people who like you too..."

At that moment, the doorbell rang.

Eudora went to answer the door. She saw a toy sunflower appearing immediately after opening the

door.

"Little princess, do you like it?"

Christopher was surprised when he did not receive any response. "What's wrong with my little

princess?"

Eudora smiled in embarrassment and said, "Come in! How are you and your family?"

"They're alright! What about you, why did you suddenly move back here? I would've thought that you

were still at Clearwater Bay if I hadn't noticed the commotion when I came back here to get some

things!"

Eudora was reluctant to continue on the topic and she quickly changed the subject.

"Did you come back for your things? Are you officially moving home?

Christopher said with a bitter smile, "Yes, my father's final wish was for me to accompany him."

Final wish?

Eudora was surprised and she asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm just a little angry at myself. Back then, he did not care about me or my mother. Now, he's

on his death bed but he is still trying to guilt-trip me! The worse part is that I couldn't bear to say no.

Don't you think that I am such a loser? No wonder you have never liked me."

Eudora frowned and she said, "Don't say that. It's difficult for one to give up on their family. You're a

nice guy. I think you're too nice and that's why you couldn't bear to reject him."

Christopher finally smiled and said, "You're the only one in the world who could make me so happy.

Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Where's my little princess? Why isn't she talking?"

He handed Juju the toy sunflower and said, "A princess should be as beautiful as the sun!"

Juju stared at it unhappily for a while and said, "Thank you, uncle." C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"Good girl!"

After that, Juju played on her own and Christopher turned his attention to Eudora. "You and Amos..."

"I have nothing to do with him!" Eudora answered too quickly and there was a trace of panic in her

voice.

Christopher chuckled.

Eudora was embarrassed. "I'm just telling the truth! I was staying with him previously because Juju had

some complications and she relied on him. Now that everything's fine and back to normal, it was time

for me to leave!"

"What happened to Juju?" Christopher asked hurriedly. The incident with Juju was kept a secret so not

many people knew.

Since it was all already in the past, Eudora explained the events briefly to Christopher so that he would

not be worried. Unexpectedly, Christopher was still anxious about it.

"That's too much. Fortunately, Wendy was caught. Otherwise, I would definitely go after her. Eudora,

why didn't you tell me about this?"

Eudora smiled and said, "Isn't it all okay now?"

"Luckily everything is fine now!" Christopher replied. After that, he picked Juju up and stared at her

worriedly. He was only at ease once he was sure that Juju was completely fine.

Christopher had always treated Juju well. After all, he watched Juju grow up.

He was the only one who knew Juju's real identity. Despite that, he still chose to stand by Eudora's side

all these years.

Meanwhile, in prison.

Wendy woke up in the morning. She was not as restless as she used to be before.

She got ready very quietly and had her breakfast as per normal. After that, she obeyed the prison's

rules and went out for a walk in the compound.

After she came back to her cell, she lay on the bed and recalled the time she had spent with Caleb in

Country M.

Back then, she always thought that Caleb was a devil who had tricked her and ruined her. However,

after thinking about it carefully, she recalled the many beautiful moments that they had shared together.

The temperature would drop below zero Celsius in the basement during winter, and it would be

extremely cold occasionally. On those days, he would hold her in his arms and place her hands and

feet on him to keep her warm.

When it was summer, it would be too hot and mosquitoes would be flying everywhere. And she could

feel that he was fanning her with his hand whenever she slept at night.

She also recalled the one time when they did not have any food left in the basement because they had

not gone out for too long. He went out to steal some carrots to cook a bowl of carrot soup for her.

However, there was nothing to eat the soup with, so they would sit across each other and pretended

that there were plenty of dishes in front of them.

In the end, she was so sick of having carrot soup and she told him that she wanted to eat some roast

lamb and steak...

She had been abandoned in a foreign country since she was a child. Therefore, she had little memory

of the dishes in her original country but at that time, she would still recall those dishes when she was

hungry.

He held her lovingly and told her over and over again that he would get them for her.

She thought that he was just comforting her but unexpectedly, he went out the next day and came back

with some pork ribs, burgers, beer, and some other beverages.

She was so excited that she hugged him tightly and kissed him. He caressed her head and watched

her eat. However, he refused to even touch his cutlery.

She only noticed that his arm was bleeding after she finished her meal. She asked him about it but he

said that it was nothing.

Later, she learned that he had joined a criminal organization and he became extremely busy after that.

He turned into a wanted criminal not long after. And that was the only time he was no longer busy.

Wendy smiled when she recalled those fond memories. Tears started rolling down the corners of her

eyes.

She wiped the tears away with her hands and suddenly felt that he was not the one who ruined her. If it

was not for him, she would have been dead a long time ago.

Moreover, he would just be a thief but not a wanted criminal if it wasn't for her.

The two of them were destined to rely on each other in this lifetime.

They were all sad souls living in the dark.

Wendy got up and took out the silverware that she had secretly hidden when she had breakfast this

morning.

They were never going to have a future in this life. If they meet again in the next life, she wanted meet

Caleb under the sun and be a normal couple and live happily ever after.

They would not have to be chased and beaten just because they wanted some food. They could finally

bask in the sun, not hiding in the dark anymore because of their identities.

If that could happen, how great would that be?
