My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 333

Kesha nodded her head vigorously. She thanked the heavens that she could finally breathe again.

She didn't dare to get close to Steven anymore. He was not in the mood to play around with her. Kesha left soon after.

Steven went straight back to the old mansion. At this moment, Bethany was planting flowers at home.

Ever since Amos left the company, Bethany had returned to her previous calm and casual self. She would do some gardening and take care of the children every day. She didn't look anxious at all. When she saw Steven, she smiled and instructed the new housekeeper, who was standing behind her.

"I have prepared some soup earlier this morning. Get a bowl for Steven. It's nourishing."

Steven shook his head subconsciously and refused, "I'll pass!"

Bethany looked at him suspiciously. He explained hurriedly, "I... ate with Kesha outside just now, and I'm still feeling a little full."

Knowing that his parents might have been poisoned to death, he'd be a fool to consume anything that was offered by someone else now.

Bethany pursed her lips and said nothing else. "Well, you could have it later then. How's the company doing recently? Are you busy?"

Steven shook his head, "It's okay. Everything is going well."

"That's good. Amos is a very capable person. Since you have taken over the company, you would have to do better so that you could shut those directors' mouths up." "Got it," Steven responded.

When she noticed him spacing out, Bethany said again, "Oh, by the way, I have nothing to do at home these days. I sorted out some of your parents' relics and put them in the living room of your parents' villa. If you are not busy today, do have a look at them. Just let the housekeeper know if there is anything that you wish to keep. Then, I'll have the rest cleaned up as soon as possible. Leaving these things scattered around the house would only remind you of their owner. It would be difficult to move on when you always look at the things from the past."

Bethany's considerate look brought a trace of warmth to Steven's heart.

"Okay! Thank you, Aunt Bethany."

Then, the housekeeper led Steven to his parents' villa.

There was indeed a pile of things in the living room. All of them were sorted out neatly. Some of the important things were all packed in the boxes carefully.

The housekeeper sighed emotionally, "The Madam had really put in a lot of effort to sort them out. She didn't allow us to interfere when she was sorting them out. She said that the Old Master was the closest to Master Harry when he was still alive. Now that the Old Master and Master Harry have passed away, she has to protect this family well. You mustn't be wronged as well."

Steven pursed his lips, "Aunt Bethany is truly considerate."

He went over and rummaged through his parents' relics in detail.

Although he had been abroad for many years, he could still remember every memory he had in this place.

He was born into the family and he grew up in this yard since he was a child. Everything here contained his precious memories.

At this moment, Steven saw a notebook in between the pile of items. He was startled, "Is this my father's diary?"

Harry had a habit of writing diaries, which he insisted on every day when he was very young. However, he started to slowly grow out of this habit as he grew up.

The housekeeper shook his head, "We don't know about this either. The Madam said that we are only allowed to sort out the items here. We are prohibited from flipping through them. It is a kind of respect for the dead. However, there are really many books like this one here."

He then picked up a few more identical books and placed them before Steven.

"Look..." Steven picked it up and flipped through it a few times. It was indeed his father's diary.

He turned to the last page, which recorded the night before his father's death.

Steven glanced at it, and he was shocked.

The housekeeper asked immediately when he saw Steven's ghastly expression, "Young Master Steven, are you alright?"

Steven exhaled hurriedly, "Yes. I'm fine. I just remembered some past events. You should go on with your work. I'll tidy it up here myself."

The housekeeper nodded and left.

Steven opened the diary and continued to read. The content in the diary was similar to what Kesha had said. His father wrote that he had gotten the latest news and Amos had found someone to deal with him. However, he swore that he would not let Amos succeed. He had been a coward for most of his life, and he could not let his son be a coward as well. He would try to replace a way to meet Amos the next day... Steven couldn't see the rest of the diary. His gaze stopped at where Harry had mentioned that Amos was going to deal with him. And also, the part where he wrote that he couldn't let his son be a coward anymore.

Earlier, when Steven came back from the United States, he was bent on telling his father about his intention to build an amusement park. In fact, he also had the idea of asking his father to reconcile with the Old Master's family at that time. He had figured out many things when he was abroad for the past few years. He thought it was futile to continue fighting with Amos. However, to comfort his father, he still pretended to help him.

He even deliberately approached Kesha so that his father would not suspect him.

Steven thought that he had executed his plans flawlessly, but he didn't expect that his father could still see through him.

Didn't he already tell Amos earlier that he didn't want to fight with him? Why did Amos still try to force them to the edge then? Steven's heart ached when he realized that his father's death was due to his own foolishness and naivety.

Amos Granger...

Steven gritted his teeth, "From now on, I will be your rival."

At the outdoor garden.

The housekeeper had returned to the main hall. He approached Bethany, who was still snipping off the branches from her flower.

"Madam..."

"Has he seen the necessary items?"

The housekeeper nodded, "He has seen it all! Young Master Steven is smart. He will definitely understand it!"

"Good!" Bethany pursed her lips, "It's time for him to do something!" She put down the scissors in her hand and looked at the flowers in front of her with satisfaction.

"He is just like a flower. He must be trimmed from time to time before he could grow up according to your plan."

"Wise words, Madam," the housekeeper smiled, "Your work is splendid."

Bethany nodded and put down the scissors again, "Where is Vincent? How is he recently?"

"The Little Master is doing fine. He goes to class on time every day. When he comes back home, he would stay in the room and study hard. All is well!"

"That's good, but you have to remember my words. Don't let the child be lazy. We should let him read more. I've asked you to hire a teacher. Have you done it yet?" "Yes, it has all been arranged."

At this moment, a servant came in and whispered something into the housekeeper's ear.

The housekeeper then went over immediately and whispered to Bethany, "Madam, didn't you tell us to keep track of the situation of Miss George's ex-husband? I just got the news that he behaved well in prison and has been released in advance."

"Oh?" Bethany smirked, "Find a chance to disclose this news to Steven. That child had a lot in his mind now. He must be dejected."

"Understood!"
