My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 167
The dished were soon served on the table. The table next to Amos was full of joy. However, Amos was alone. He chewed on the food silently, but they all tasted bland.
While he was eating, Harley came in with a group of people. At the first glance, he saw Amos sitting there alone. He hurriedly brushed those people away and walked over to his table happily. "Amos, what are you doing here alone? You look like you're in a good mood!"
Eudora could obviously recognize Harley's voice.
Upon hearing this, she immediately knew that Amos was next to her. She furrowed her brows and heard Harley say, "Oh my God, why did you order so much? It's such a waste, isn't it?" Amos frowned. "Just mind your own business, will you?"
Harley was confused. "What's going on? Did I offend you or something?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person at the opposite table had already stood up. The familiar silhouette made Harley lift his head subconsciously. At that instant, he was extremely surprised. "Oh my God. Is that Eudora?"
Amos wanted to stop him, but it was already too late. Harley was the top of his class when he graduated from the police academy. Almost no one could stop him. If it were in the past when Amos was still well, perhaps he could have done it. But he was in a wheelchair now.
Just as Eudora was about to take Juju away, a figure had already stood before her.
Harley was very enthusiastic. "Eudora, it's really you. I have missed you so much! I have never had anything as good as your cooking ever since you left."
Eudora was speechless.
After a long pause, she could not help but ask, "You just want me to cook for you, don't you?"
The corner of his mouth twitched a little. "It doesn't really matter now, does it? I have always believed that you are alright. Amos' effort in replaceing you throughout these years will finally not go in vain." After that, his eyes fell on the little girl who was in Eudora's arms.
"Is this your daughter? You can call me Uncle."
Juju looked at him with her big and round eyes. Obviously, she was a little curious and confused about this man who had appeared from out of nowhere. Juju frowned.
Harley looked into Juju's beautiful eyes and at that instant, he was shocked.
"Her eyes looks exactly like Amos"!"
Eudora's heart sank and she instinctively covered Juju's eyes.
Christopher, who was standing behind her, stepped forward and pushed Harley away. "Mr. Louis, I know you are Amos' good friend, but please don't talk nonsense."
Harley scowled at Christopher. "Yo, it turns out that the boy from the Gellert family has returned. Did you accomplish anything after leaving so many years? I thought that you would make an impressive return this time!"
Christopher's face darkened. "It's none of your business."
Christopher wanted to leave. But Harley was as stubborn as a mule. He had seen Amos suffer so much over the years. He felt sorry for his friend.
It was not easy for Eudora to come back. He felt that there was still a chance between Amos and Eudora. It wasn't necessary to make things awkward because of Christopher.
Thinking of this, Harley stopped Christopher and said, "You can't leave without my permission."
Amos, who was nearby, finally approached them. He frowned and said, "Move aside, Harley." Juju, who was frowning in Eudora's arms, suddenly shouted with a sweet voice.
"Uncle!"
Upon hearing her voice, Amos felt that his heart melt.
He curved his lips slightly and said, "Juju." He had heard Eudora referring to her by this name.
Harley was stunned. How could this girl frown when she saw a lovable and handsome man like him? However, she was so sweet towards Amos when she saw him.
What was even more shocking was that ever since Eudora left five years ago, Amos had never squeezed out a smile. However, when he saw this girl, he actually smiled at her!
However, what Harley did not know was that after Amos' smile disappeared, there was only bitterness left in his heart.
He wished that this child was his daughter.
Harley was not convinced, so he threw a coquettish glance at Juju. "You're Juju, right? I am Uncle Louis, am I handsome?" Juju turned her head and said, "Mommy, I want to go home."
Harley didn't know what to say.
Eudora didn't want Juju to have too much contact with Amos, so she said, "Harley, please excuse us, we are leaving now!"
Harley saw that Amos did not intend to stop her, so he had no choice but to give way. However, he still didn't give up and shouted again, "Eudora, where do you live now? I'll go to your house for dinner next time."
Eudora was speechless.
After they left, Harley looked at Amos' thin face and sighed.
"What the hell are you thinking? Don't you know that she is single now? You should have asked Christopher to get out of the way, shouldn't you?" Amos shook his head. "I don't want to scare her away." Harley was speechless. Well, his friend had become Romeo now, huh?
"It's okay. Anyway, both of you are not young anymore. You two should take your time. Well, what are you going to do with Wendy? I think she hasn't given up after all these years! I also sympathize with you for having such a savior."
Amos frowned and said, "Don't tell her anything about Eudora. I will tell her the truth when the timing is right."
"It's up to you!" Harley said. "However, let me remind you that your savior is not easy to deal with. Don't make things difficult for yourself like you did in the past."
"I know what I'm doing," Amos said.
Just as this topic ended, Amos asked again, "Did you replace out anything about the explosion? What actually happened?"
Harley's face fell slightly. "It didn't happen in our country so there are a lot of hindrances in the investigation. In addition to that, the relevant departments on the other side weren't paying a lot attention to this matter. They are used to it happening every other day."
Amos knew about it so he didn't say anything.
"I'll inform you once I get any information!" Harley said.
After heading back, Eudora was very nervous and refused to let go of Juju.
Juju then said in a soft voice, "Mommy, I'm in pain!"
It was not until then that Eudora realized what was going on and quickly let go of Juju.
Christopher frowned. He felt a little annoyed that he had failed to protect them.
Thinking of this, he suddenly said, "Eudora, will you marry me please?"
Eudora was startled as she looked at him in shock. After a long while, she smiled and said, "Are you trying to cheer me up? I'm fine."
Christopher shook his head. "No, I'm serious. I hope that you will marry me so that I will have the opportunity to take care of the both of you."
For a moment, Eudora didn't know what to say, but Juju spoke first.
"Uncle Gellert, do you want to be my father?"
