My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 184

Amos felt that he couldn't wait any longer.

Not only because he had promised Old Master Granger, but also because he had just seen Christopher with her.

The relationship between them was so intimate, so natural. He admitted that he was very jealous. The jealousy was so overwhelming, and it was killing him.

If he could go back in time, he wished that the person who stayed by her side in Italy for the past five years was him, not Christopher.

Therefore, when he found out that today was Valentine's Day, he got this sudden thought in a flash. No matter what, he had to confess his love to her.

Even though he might scare her away, he would do everything to win her back. If there was one thing that he was sure of, he didn't want to see her with another man.

Seeing that she did not speak, Amos asked, "Can we be together?"

Mentally, Eudora was flung into a total mess. Not only was she shocked by his confession, but she was also stunned at the fact that her own heart still hammered madly when she heard his words. Everything seemed blurry and conflicting.

Over the past five years, she had told herself repeatedly that Amos was the last person she wanted to see in her life. She had always told herself that she wanted to live for herself and only herself, not for that

man.

But now...

It must be because Juju liked him a lot, hence she felt flustered. Yes, that must be it.

Eudora was stunned for a while before she opened her mouth.

"What makes you think that I'll accept you?"

When her words hit him, Amos was stunned to silence. Then, he heard her soft voice saying, "The President Granger whom I used to know had a perfectly able and good body, yet I still left. I don't suppose I need to say much about the President Granger right in front of me now. You have lost the ability to walk."

Originally, Eudora had thought that her harsh words would have no effect whatsoever on herself. However, after she finished her sentence, she felt a pang inside her, as if she was stabbed right in the middle of the heart with a sharp pair of scissors. Not only did she hurt Amos, but she had also hurt herself.

Amos' eyes darkened. After a long time, he asked in a deep voice, "Do you dislike me because I'm disabled now?"

As he spoke, his eyes showed a trace of weakness, an emotion that Amos rarely showed before. Eudora had never seen him so vulnerable before.

She hurriedly opened her mouth. "Yes!" She took a deep breath. Some things had already been said, and the subsequent words came to her much easier, pouring out by themselves.

"With my standards, there are so many people chasing after me. Why should I accept you? President Granger, please leave!"

After that, Eudora went straight past Amos and headed into her apartment.

When she walked past him, Amos suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

His palms were ice cold and it penetrated through her veins. Her body stiffened.

Amos' husky bass voice rang in her ears. "Do all the people who are chasing after you love you to death like I do?"

Eudora stunned on the spot. He said that he loved her to death.

She should have laughed at this. However, she suddenly remembered what Auntie Valerie had said to her. Amos got into a car accident when he learned that she was dead.

All of a sudden, she couldn't bring herself to laugh anymore.

After wrenching out of Amos' tight grip, Eudora opened the door and slammed it shut without looking back.

It was as if she was shutting her heart, not letting anyone in.

Startled by the noise, Juju ran out to hear the sound of water gushing in the bathroom. She knocked on the door and asked, "Mommy, are you in there?" "Yes!" Eudora sniffed and said softly. "Mommy, where is Uncle?"

"He's gone!"

"Oh!" Juju lowered her head. She thought that Amos would succeed, but it seemed that he had failed.

After Eudora finished showering, she coaxed Juju to sleep again. Just as she was about to go to bed herself, she heard footsteps coming from the corridor.

She opened the door out of curiosity and saw that the hotel staff was cleaning up the mess.

One of the staff sighed loudly. "The rich are truly different. In order to win over a woman, he not only decorated the corridor to look like Rainbow Bridge, but also rented the arch bridge right outside our community area for himself. That bridge was even more beautiful, but unfortunately, it seems that the woman hasn't appeared for a whole night."

"What do you know? The man may be good-looking, but he can't walk. Why would anyone like him?"

Eudora frowned and was about to speak when the staff handed a bunch of flowers to Eudora.

"Miss, it's a waste to throw these flowers away. It's better to give it to you!"

Eudora subconsciously reached out to accept it, but she eventually shook her head and refused it.

"No, thank you."

The next day, when Eudora got up again, the corridor had returned to normal. As usual, she took Juju to kindergarten and went to the construction The project was already half- finished. Eudora decided to speed up the progress. To her, it was better to finish up this project and leave as soon as possible.

However, things did not go as smoothly as usual. When Eudora made the wrong design for the third time that day, she was stopped by the workers.

"Eudora, you don't look very good. Why don't you go over there and rest for a moment?

Eudora shook her head, "Sorry, I have delayed everyone's work. Give me ten minutes, and I will fix this."

The workers couldn't believe what they had just heard. "It's okay. You'd better take a break!"

Eudora did not say anything else but went to the side with the design draft in her hands. She took out a bottle of iced water from the refrigerator and chugged it down. Then, she slapped her face lightly a couple of times and went back to work.

On the other side, the workers saw that she was resting and thought that they were done for the day. Who would have thought, after ten minutes, Eudora actually did return.

She handed the drawing to them and said, "It's done."

The leader of the group showed a look of disbelief. "Are you sure it'll work?"

"Yup!"

The man took it over and stared at it for a while, and then his eyes widened. Then he gazed at Eudora again, this time with shock and admiration. "No wonder our boss had invited Eudora as our professional designer. This place has been transformed brilliantly. Originally, the wall here had blocked the renovations, and now it's solved. Not only has the obstacle been eliminated, but there are also a lot of available space."

Hearing this, the rest of the workers also gathered around. When they saw this, they were also extremely impressed by her genius design, showering her with praise. "Eudora is really awesome." Eudora grinned. "If you need anything, you can come to me at any time. I'll be in the office."

"Okay!"

At the same time, in the president's office in Valiant East.

Several middle-aged men surrounded Clint. They were pleading him pitifully, almost to the brink of tears. "Assistant Zuckerberg, I still have a family to raise. I beg you. Please help me submit this document!" "Assistant Zuckerberg, please help submit mine too! I really can't stand it anymore."

The corners of Clint's mouth twitched. "Do you think you're the only ones who are scared? I'm scared too!"

"But you're his special assistant! You have the best relationship with him. There must be some way."

Clint shook his head and sighed, "I'd really love to These people begged Clint and nearly went down on their knees.

"It's not that we don't want to. It's true that we've changed our report several times since this morning. I really have no other ideas anymore. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I'll die!"

The other man was even more dramatic. He took out a blood pressure instrument and measured himself with it.

"See, my blood pressure is rising by the second! Assistant Zuckerberg, surely you wouldn't just sit by and watch and do nothing, yes?"

Clint was speechless.

"You guys sure are ruthless," he muttered in his heart.
