My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 1126
Eddison was stunned for a moment. Under the warm yellow light, her small hand seemed particularly thin.
Her hands did not look like an ordinary noble lady's fingers whose nails were usually covered in shiny rhinestones and elaborate nail art. She did not have a fancy manicure and only had just a light layer of transparent nail polish.
Her pink nails were quite adorable.
He guessed that she had scratched something when she was struggling just then. Her nails were chipped in several places, ruining her beautiful hands.
Eddison frowned and stayed still.
"I won't leave! I'll wait for your driver to pick you up!"
"Thank you!" she said as she trembled, still trying to look and act decently.
Eddison curled his lips and took half a step forward. Rachel, who was behind him, also followed him in reflex.
Eddison found that it was a little amusing.
Therefore, he muttered in a low voice, "You're so timid. If so, why did you complain about me?"
His tone was quite strange, as if he was doubtful, but it also sounded like he was teasing her. All in all, it did not sound threatening.
Rachel heard him, and her fingers paused. She suddenly understood that Eddison had thought that she had complained about the previous incident.
So, she hurriedly explained, "I did not complain about you! After I left that day, I took a taxi home. I did not expect that the taxi driver was a bad person...Believe me, I really didn't complain about you!" She had always spoken calmly, and rarely spoke in such a hurry.
After Eddison listened for a while, he was relieved.
"Okay, got it!"
Then, a car stopped in front of them. The Gellert family's driver had arrived.
Eddison pulled Rachel's hand away and said, "Your driver is here to pick you up!"
Rachel felt disappointment at the sudden loss of his touch. However, she still waved at Eddison with a smile and said, "Thank you!"
Eddison shook his head, turned around, and strode away.
It was not until he heard the sound of the car door being closed behind him that he turned around and looked at the lights of the car, disappearing into the night. At the Granger family.
Eudora looked anxiously at Amos, while he held a cup of water in his hand as he gently caressed Eudora's back.
"Don't worry, he's fine. He's just holding a grudge so he found a job outside!"
"Really?" Eudora's heart, which had been in her throat, finally calmed down a little.
"Of course it's true! Why would I lie to you? Hurry up and take your medicine. Then, I'll tell you what I know!"
Not even sparing the medicine a glance, Eudora continued to ask questions.
"What kind of job did he replace? He has never had a serious job except for some volunteering work he did as a child!" Amos said helplessly, "He's no longer a child! You have to believe in him! Eddison will not let himself suffer!"
Eudora sighed as she indeed did not want to worry at all.
However, as his mother, it was an instinct.
No matter how indifferent she acted in front of him, she still worried about him!
Amos finally compromised.
"Okay, you win! Sit down and I'll tell you everything! He's handing out leaflets now and he's working really hard!"
Then, he showed Eudora a photo.
When Eudora saw that Eddison was safe, she finally felt relieved.
"I didn't expect Sugar Bun to be able to make a living for himself!"
Her words were filled with joy.
When Amos saw how satisfied she was, he could not help but tease her, "You're happy just with that? You're so easily satisfied! He's only handing out leaflets!" "What's wrong with handing out leaflets? As long as he's making money for himself, any job will do!"
"Alright! My dear wife, will you take your medicine now?"
Eudora glared at him, ate the medicine, and gave Amos a sideways look.
"Therefore, Mr. Granger, you should be glad that I'm easily satisfied! Otherwise, I might have abandoned you at the start!"
Amos's whole body trembled, and he looked at Eudora with burning eyes.
A moment later, he grabbed Eudora's hand and princess-carried her.
"What are you doing?" Eudora was startled by his actions and quickly hugged his neck.
Amos raised his lips and smiled, saying, "Didn't you just say that I didn't satisfy you?"
Eudora was rendered speechless.
Had she dug a hole for herself?
"Put me down!"
"No way!" Amos replied, still a little angry. He was still young, but she was already looking down on him!
When they were about to go upstairs, Eudora hurriedly cried out, "My chest suddenly feels a little uncomfortable!" Amos was so frightened that his face turned pale in an instant. "Cindy, call the doctor immediately!" he ordered. "There's no need for a doctor! I'll be fine after taking a break!"
After that, Amos took Eudora back to the bedroom and gently put her down, "No, that won't do! Hurry and call the doctor!"
He held her hand the entire time, and his eyes seemed to be fixed on her body. He was not willing to move away from her at all.
When Eudora saw that Amos seemed to be extremely terrified, she felt uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, I was just joking with you! I'm really fine!"
After Eudora finished her words, she watched clearly as Amos's expression became serious. She thought he was angry, so she was about to explain herself when Amos reached out and held her in his arms tightly.
"Do you know that you scared me?!"
Eudora was stunned, "You're hugging me too tightly!"
His arms were like iron tongs, and it was hard for her to breathe.
Hearing that, Amos did not relax, instead hugging her even tighter as he said, "I really hope that I can meld you into my body. That way, we will be together forever!"
"Silly!" Eudora was slightly exasperated, "We are husband and wife! Aren't we already one?"
"Is that so?" Amos sighed. He also wished for it to be that way.
However, in reality, they were two independent individuals! One day, they would be separated.
However, when he saw her happily explaining things to him, he did not want to disappoint her, therefore he nodded his head.
"You're right! It's late now. I'll accompany you to rest!"
The next day, at the Gellert family's breakfast table.
The atmosphere became a little serious after Rachel spoke.
"Why are you asking me that?" Jarred was the first to speak.
Rachel pursed her lips and said, "It's nothing. I just have a friend who is looking for a job..."
"Is it Eddison?" Jarred asked curiously. After all, it was the first time that Rachel had asked him for a favor! He was really curious who it was for. Rachel did not intend to hide matters from her father. After all, if Eddison really worked in the company, her father would definitely replace out!
She nodded and said, "Yes, it's him! He studied law. Is there a vacancy in the law department of the company? Dad, please help me arrange one!" "We're not hiring anymore!" Jarred was still angry about the fact that Eddison had not sent his daughter home. "How dare that annoying brat take away my daughter's heart just like that!" "Dad, you're lying!" Rachel put down her cutlery and looked at Bianca, "Mom, please help me persuade Dad!"
Bianca shook her head, saying, "I can't persuade him!"
Bianca had always been a model housewife who strictly adhered to the rules and etiquette. She had never asked about Jarred's work and only took care of her own matters.
Her only job was to assist Jarred in daily matters and to take care of their child. She was taught to maintain marital bliss.
Rachel's spirit withered as she tried to convince Jarred again, "Dad, please, I beg you!"
Jarred said angrily, "Why are you begging me when you know nothing about why he's doing this? Do you really think that Eddison is working to support himself? I don't think things are that simple!"
