My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 165
Just as Harley finished his words, they heard a message prompt tone coming from the computer. Amos, who was still smoking, immediately put down the cigarette and went towards the computer.
Harley was overwhelmed by curiosity as he peeked at the computer. The next second, he was extremely surprised by the content!
There was an e-mail from the United States on the computer screen. Every single detail of Eudora's life in the recent years were stipulated in the email!
The day before, Amos had used her flight boarding information to replace out where she had been living all these years. He then found the best private investigator in that country to gather all these information overnight.
It was only then did Harley realize that Amos had no intentions on giving up on Eudora. He was just waiting for the result.
This was Amos that he knew!
Thinking of this, he smiled playfully. "Amos, what are you going to do so that she will not disappear again this time?"
Amos looked back at him and said, "I'm going to pursue her."
Harley was speechless. Pursue her? He thought he was going to spend the night with her!
Harley retracted his surprised expression and said, "Amos, are you in your right mind? The two of you are already so familiar with each other. Do you still need to pursue her to get her back?" Amos didn't answer Harley, but looked ahead with a deep gaze instead.
They were indeed familiar with each other, but they were only familiar with each other's body and nothing else. In fact, he had thought about it for the entire night. He finally understood the reason why Eudora had run away at that time. It was because they had rushed into the relationship without a stable foundation between them. That was why their relationship collapsed instantly once they were met with obstacles He did not give her a sense of security. Therefore, he would start over again this time and pursue her without rushing into it. He vowed to give her the full sense of security she needed!
After getting out the office with Juju in her arms, Eudora had immediately checked out of the hotel that very night.
Her employer had booked this hotel for her, but she didn't expect that it would be Amos' new hotel.
After settling down, Eudora turned on the TV for Juju and started to organize their belongings at the side.
Juju wasn't watching the TV, her eyes were on her mother instead. "Mommy, your nose is getting longer now!"
Eudora was speechless. "What are you talking about?"
There was a serious look on Juju's face. "Didn't you say that if we lie, our nose will grow longer? You're lying. You are obviously not married. Why did you lie to that uncle and told him that I have a stepfather?" Did she hear everything?
Eudora frowned. "It was... a white lie. That uncle is hard to deal with. If I didn't say that, we wouldn't be able to leave at all!"
However, Juju shook her head and said, "I think that uncle is very good! He is very handsome!"
Eudora was at a loss for words. She had never expected that Juju would be so obsessed with looks.
"He is good-looking, but that doesn't mean that he is a good man! Okay, I'll finish tidying up here, and we'll go out for our meal."
It was only then Juju stopped talking and continued to watch the TV.
A few minutes later, she shouted, "It's that uncle again."
Eudora looked up and saw that there was a live broadcast of the opening ceremony of the hotel on the TV.
A reporter was interviewing Amos.
"No, it has something to do with my wife."
The reporter quickly changed his words. "I'm really envious of Miss Liam..."
Wendy Liam... After so many years, it seemed that she had finally won over Amos' heart!
Eudora shifted her eyes away from the TV and continued to fold her clothes, as if she hadn't heard it.
The next day, Eudora was awakened by the sound of doorbell. She got up and went to open the door. Christopher came in with breakfast in his hand. "Juju? Your favorite breakfast is here!" Juju hurriedly cheered and ran out. Eudora combed Juju's hair while she explained to Christopher.
"I'm going to the construction site today. Could you please help me look after Juju? Thank you."
Christopher smiled faintly and said, "Of course. Do we still need to be so polite to each other? There's no need to thank me, okay?"
"Okay, I won't thank you then. When I'm done with everything here, I'll definitely treat you to a delicious meal when we head back!"
"I'll look forward to it then!" Christopher said with a smile.
Eudora changed her clothes and then left for the construction site.
She was supposed to go to the United States when she left five years ago. However, because of the explosion that had happened at the airport, she decided not to go to the United States at the very last minute.
She didn't want to be a hassle to others, so she had decided to move to Italy with Christopher. She even adopted a new name. After that, the two of them started running a design studio and had finally gained a foothold in the Italian market. They had also gained a little fame within the industry.
This time, there was a Italian client who had hired her to design his new clubhouse. Originally, she could not take up the task but seeing that her client had helped her a lot, she just could not refuse the favor. Upon arriving at the construction site, Eudora started measuring the site. The roof of the building was still bare because the client wanted a dome on it. Since it was summer, she started to sweat under the intense heat.
Eudora wiped her sweat away and called for her assistant. "Could you please get some water for us?"
The assistant nodded. Just as she was about to go out, she halted her steps. Eudora thought that she didn't have cash on her and was going to give some to her. The assistant shook her head. "No, Eudora, someone is bringing us water."
Eudora was stunned. When she looked up, she saw a few people who were carrying several cartons of water over to them.
Eudora frowned and said, "I guess it must be Davy who had ordered them."
As soon as she finished speaking, a man who was sitting in a wheelchair slowly came in through the door. Although he was in a wheelchair, this person seemed to be glowing. He attracted everyone's attention as soon as he came in. As the figure gradually got closer, the assistant couldn't help but to exclaim in a low voice, "Oh my God, this guy is so handsome!"
Eudora burst into laughter. "Didn't you say that you liked Christopher the other day? Didn't you say that he's very handsome?"
"No, no. Mr. Gellert is a different kind of handsome but this man gives out a domineering vibe." Her assistant was an Italian so her accent was very cute. Eudora was used to her fan-girling over men, so she didn't bother about it.
She lowered her head and continued measuring the site, but the sweat all over her body had made her feel uncomfortable.
The next second, the assistant said, "I've never seen such a handsome man sitting in a wheelchair."
Eudora was stunned. Sitting in a wheelchair? She looked up and the man happened to look into her direction too. Their eyes met.
Eudora was speechless and thought to herself. "It's really him, but why is he here?"
While she was deep in her thoughts, Amos had already asked someone to unbox the boxes of water. "These are for everyone. Please, help yourself."
Eudora was still stunned. What on earth was he trying to do?
As she was still deep in her own thoughts, Amos picked up a bottle of water and ascended to the upper floor using the elevator. After a while, he appeared on the floor where Eudora was.
He then slowly approached Eudora and opened the cap of the bottle with one hand.
"Are you thirsty? Here, have some water!"
Eudora didn't reply.
The assistant next to him looked at Eudora enviously. "Sir, did... did you come all the way here to bring water for Eudora?"
Amos glanced at Eudora, who happened to have a drop of sweat falling from her forehead.
"It's my pleasure," he said.
