My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 1200

Sierra took a deep breath. She hadn't expected for Eddison to expose her lies just to protect Rachel.

The girls beside her had been standing by her side all the while for their own benefit. If they were to replace out that she was lying, they would bombard her with criticisms and derision. Since she was stuck in such a situation, it was better for her to act fast.

"That's enough! Eddison, I'm sorry that Rachel has been misunderstood by my friends. I apologize on behalf of them. I'm truly sorry!"

She said those words pitifully, and she managed to turn the tide of the commotion.

Women were emotional individuals. Upon hearing her words, those girls stood up for her.

Sierra's intention was to shirk responsibility and get over the matter as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, it had gotten bigger and ultimately out of her control.

Cecil rolled up her sleeves.

"Sierra, don't be sad. I won't let them get away. I'll disclose their affairs to the entire university."

As she said so, she took out her phone.

Eddison smirked and said, "Whatever, have it your way!"

After that, he carried Rachel in his arms and left.

As he walked past Sierra, he paused.

He muttered to her, "Sierra, I am not a fool. You would better think twice because you'll reap what you sow eventually."

It seemed that he was warning her.

Sierra was disheartened by his cold attitude. To her, he was currently a heartless man. Looking at his back, she experienced a sharp pang of jealousy. He hadn't even looked at her when he had mumbled to her just then.

She had been vanquished by Rachel in their romance rivalry.

"Sierra, there's no need to look so woebegone. I'll post this scandal of theirs to the university forum."

At that point, Sierra didn't bother to ponder her next move. She walked out of that place in a daze.

Originally, they had come for a camping trip.

However, Rachel had gotten injured.

Eddison insisted on taking her back home.

Rachel was also not in the mood to continue camping, therefore she went along with him.

At first, Rachel still wanted to ride her own bicycle, but Eddison took it away. He simply gave it to one of the boys, who seemed to be trustworthy. Then, he placed Rachel on the back seat of his bicycle and rode back before the sun set completely.

The wind howled around them, causing his shirt to bulge on his back.

Rachel touched it gently and said, "Did you do that on purpose just now?"

Truth be told, he had a lot of other ways to solve the problem that had occurred just then without revealing their relationship. Nevertheless, he had chosen to do exactly just that.

He answered joyfully, "You've become smarter."

"I'm always smart, okay?"

He asked gravely, "Are you angry with what I've done?"

Rachel looked at the setting sun in the distance as she said, "Do your words still stand?"

"What?"

Rachel lowered her head, "Forget it!"

He suddenly came to his senses. He stopped the bicycle and gazed at Rachel earnestly, asking, "Wait, are you willing to trust me?"

Rachel flushed with shyness, "Yes!"

"That's great!"

He couldn't help but hug her. Under the sunset, their hearts finally beat as one.

However, Eddison's ringing phone interrupted their happiness.

It was his former roommate. "Eddison, what's going on? Someone is circulating rumors about Rachel and you through the university forum. They're saying you're a playboy. The lecturers and staff have gotten the news too."

It was a prestigious university. Of course, the administrators and staff valued its reputation very much.

In fact, Eddison had a plan.

"It's okay!"

After saying that, he beamed at Rachel.

"It seems that I have to ride faster."

Rachel knew the seriousness of the matter, hence she got onto the bicycle immediately.

"How are you going to deal with it?"

"What else can we do other than announce that we're married?"

It was not until he had ridden for quite a while that she realized something.

"You're setting up a trap for them, aren't you?" They were not in a hurry to go back to the university. Instead, Eddison brought Rachel to a doctor to get her injuries checked.

While rubbing ointment on her bruises, Rachel decided to ask about Eddison's next move.

"Don't you need to go to the university and make things clear?"

"Don't move!" instructed Eddison as he was applying the ointment.

Rachel had no choice but to shut up and sit still. After he had finished, only then did he ask her, "It seems that you can't wait to announce to the whole university that I'm your husband." Rachel rolled his eyes at him, "Quit feeling smug! Get out fast, I'm going to sleep!"

He did not bother her any longer and went straight out.

After he closed the door, he smiled confidently.

He thought, "Well, I shall let them enjoy the calm before the storm."

On Monday, when Rachel woke up in the morning, she realized that it was the day they would make the announcement of their marriage. She was a bundle of nerves and she still felt restless as they were having their breakfast.

Eddison handed a glass of milk to her.

"What's the hurry? There's still time. Let's eat another slice of toast!"

Somehow, she felt that he was behaving more and more like Amos. She became at ease by just looking at him.

"Alright!"

She calmed down and quietly had her breakfast.

They went to the university by the same car. He held her hand when they got out of the car.

Meanwhile, rumors were circulating around the university about Rachel and Eddison.

Before they entered the campus, people's comments could be heard from far away.

"I think we better forget it. Clearly, Eddison is feeling guilty. That's why he hasn't dared to come out and explain himself during these past few days."

"It's a pity. That girl looked nice, and I thought it would be hard to woo her, so I didn't dare to try anything. If I had found out that she loves money that much, I would have succeeded in pursuing her." "That's right! It's easy to get girls like her!"

Sierra was standing in a corner with some of her female classmates.

"Sierra, we'll make them pay for it this time!"

Sierra curled her lip as she insisted, "Eddison had done nothing wrong. He must've been tricked. Don't hate him so much."

In fact, Sierra was planning to help him as Rachel was being chastised by others later on. That would be the last chance for her to win his heart.

Someone shouted, "They're here!"

Everyone began to fall silent.

A modest but luxurious limited- edition car stopped at the gate. It turned out that Eddison was no longer keeping a low profile. He was showing his car off in front of everyone.

Those who had no idea about his identity were dumbfounded.

"Is that Eddison?"

"My God, I can't believe my eyes! His car looks really expensive."

"It's genuinely expensive. It's a global limited edition car. I asked my father to buy it for me last time, but he couldn't get it. The company claimed that it was reserved for an honorable guest. I didn't expect it to be him."
