My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 345

Amos held Eudora in his arms and asked carefully. "What's wrong?"

Eudora's gaze was filled with confusion, as though she had recalled some unpleasant memories. Her whole body trembled.

Juju, who was next to her, turned around and looked at Eudora with worry.

"Mommy, what's wrong with you?"

The little girl's pure eyes were full of concern. Eudora felt warmth in her heart and swallowed the fear forcibly.

She was a mother, thus she couldn't let her child worry about her.

"I'm fine! I just... realized that I'm not as good as you are, Juju. I can't learn marksmanship."

Juju breathed a sigh of relief and said in a hurry, "Mommy, don't worry. I will keep you company all the time and protect you in the future."

Eudora's eyes were slightly watery and she nodded, "Okay."

Juju really liked marksmanship. She went to replace the coach again after that.

They were busy for the whole day. When they got back, Juju was still very enthusiastic. Along the way, she recalled what the coach had taught her.

At night, she fell asleep holding the modified gun that the Old Master had given her.

Eudora sat by the bed and gawked at Juju's adorable face.

She had never thought about leaving Juju, but she was too ashamed to face herself at this moment.

Juju smiled suddenly in her sleep. "Mommy, I could finally protect you now!"

Eudora's nose twitched and tears trickled down her cheeks.

After adjusting to a more comfortable position, Eudora took Juju into her arms. She still remembered the time when Juju was still in her womb.

At that time, she was completely disheartened after learning that she was pregnant, and she even considered terminating the pregnancy. But later, she wanted a relative, thus she decided to carry on. Later, Juju was born and raised in Italy.

She had been very well-behaved since she was a child. She knew that it was not easy for her mother to raise her alone, thus she never got herself into trouble.

She would go to bed after dinner, and she would smile the moment she woke up.

Whenever Eudora hugged Juju, who used to be like a tiny ball in her arms, her heart was always filled with happiness.

For countless nights, she imagined watching Juju grow up, day by day. She also imagined that Juju would bring home an excellent son-in-law, one who was just like her father. She would see her put on a white veil and walk down the aisle.

However, everything seems to have turned into bubbles. She tightened her embrace and whispered in Juju's ear, "I'm sorry."

Eudora got up early the next day.

She had already made breakfast before Auntie Valerie came over.

She had always wanted to make an animal-shaped breakfast for Juju. She knew how much Juju liked animals. However, she was always too busy with work.

Now, she finally got the time to do it.

Not only did she make an animal-shaped breakfast, but she also made some pancakes, sandwiches, and soup.

A moment later, she saw Juju running down the stairs. "Mommy, it smells so good!"

"Let's eat then?" Eudora said.

Juju turned around and asked, "Hey, where's Daddy?"

"Isn't your Daddy upstairs?" Eudora asked.

"No..." Juju answered.

The next second, Amos came out of the study room downstairs.

In fact, he had been following Eudora since she woke up in the morning. He saw her washing up and changing her clothes. He was afraid that she would run away while he was still asleep. After all, she did the exact same thing years ago.

However, thanks to Juju's existence back then, she learned to cherish her life and waited for them to reunite five years later. This time, she had nothing to worry about. He was afraid that if she left, he would no longer be able to see her in the future.

After that, Eudora went to the kitchen again, and only then did Amos breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm here," Amos said. "What a delicious breakfast."

"Daddy, look at me. My breakfast is so beautiful!"

Juju held her plate and showed it off to Amos. Amos licked his lips and said,

"Of course, didn't you see who was the one who had prepared it? My wife cooked it. How could it not look good?"

Juju immediately wiped her nose and said, "Daddy, you show off again."

Eudora went upstairs after breakfast. It was rare that she suddenly wasn't accompanying Juju anymore.

Amos was worried, but he didn't dare to disturb her, hence he took Juju downstairs. It was the only exit out of the villa. If she did leave, she would definitely have to pass through there.

In the afternoon, a car arrived at the entrance of the house. Then, a few people started moving things off the car.

Amos and Juju looked at those things, then at each other. Auntie Valerie asked hurriedly, "This is..." "Miss George ordered them online!"

It turned out that it was Eudora who had ordered it.

Eudora made her way downstairs after those people left.

She opened the box. There were a lot of clothes inside, all of which belonged to Juju. Not only were there clothes, but there were also shoes and a lot of study supplies.

Eudora moved those things into Juju's room and then drove Amos and Juju out. Alone in the room, she spent the whole afternoon sorting them out.

When both Eudora and Juju fell asleep in the night, Amos went into the room and opened the cabinet.

There were all of Juju's clothes, followed by those she would wear at her six, seven, and sixteen years old.

She had selected all of Juju's clothes and shoes.

Amos felt a stabbing pain in his heart. She had decided to leave.

Eudora waited for Juju to fall asleep, then she got up, pushed the door open, and went out.

Outside the door, under the dim light of the corridor, Amos stood there alone. Behind him was a long corridor, like a road into the distance.

He trembled when she came out.

He took the lead in saying as if he was afraid that she would say something he couldn't accept, "What a heartless woman! You bought so many clothes for Juju, but you didn't buy any for me. I'm jealous..." Eudora opened her mouth and said, "I wanted to buy some for you, but when I thought about it, perhaps someone else would do it for you in the future. Amos, I should leave now."

Eudora was really going to leave. She had spent the whole day with Juju, fulfilling her final wish.

She walked over slowly and squeezed a smile.

She hoped that whenever he thought of her, it would be of her at her best.

"Amos, I'm sorry..." Eudora apologized.

Amos' heart skipped a beat, and he nodded at once. "Okay!"

They didn't need to say much as they already knew each other's thoughts.

Eudora suddenly remembered the day when she and Amos stood outside the door of the Granger family with their hands joined. At that time, she had made up her mind to be his wife and stay with him forever. Now, everything had changed in less than half a year.

Her nose twitched as she recalled their efforts in the past. Now that she thought about it, she felt as if her heart had been branded forever.

She murmured in her heart, "Goodbye, my... Amos."

Amos watched as Eudora walked forward, step by step. He watched as her figure disappear.

She had left him five years ago. However, she was escaping from him at that time.

Later, when he found her, he swore that he would not let her leave him again. Furthermore, her departure meant that she would leave forever. Thinking of this, he took two quick steps.

"Let me hold you for a while, okay?" Amos requested.
