My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 391

Kesha seemed to finally understand what her mother was talking about. Felicia lowered her voice and said, "To be honest, I'm not very sure of the matter either. But, I found a box when I was cleaning up your father's stuff the other day. He had always kept that box safe. Even though he had been diagnosed with dementia, he still acted strangely when he knew that I had found out about the box."

Kesha said softly, "Mom, are you suspecting that the box might contain something important?"

"It's possible! That year, he claimed that he was broke, but he forked out the money for Eudora to go overseas."

When it came to this matter, Kesha was angry.

"Mom, am I really not my father's biological daughter? I was also miserable at that time. He never gave me any money. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have gotten entangled with those people!" Fortunately, she had finally managed to pull through!

Felicia frowned, "You couldn't possibly blame your father for your poor choice in men, and it was not as though your father had refused to help you."

Kesha's eyes widened, "Mom, are you being serious right now? Am I really your daughter? If you keep on with these charades, then I have nothing else to talk to you." She figured that Gordon would not have a lot of money left anyway. How could he even compare to the Valiant East of the Granger family? That was absurd!

Felicia quickly grabbed hold of Kesha, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have said that to you. Please think of a way for me!" Felicia said with a hint of complaint in her tone.

"Speaking of your father and me, I have been very kind and loyal to him all these years. I thought that if I was genuinely kind to him, we would already be on the same side. But when I saw the box, I realized that I had been foolish all this while. That woman is still in his heart..."

Kesha looked at Felicia incredulously, "Mom, don't tell me that you truly loved him!"

Felicia frowned, "How do you differentiate between true love and fake love? We have been together for so many years, whatever kind of love would have been unfurled into habits. Anyway, I just can't stand it. He is still protecting the box. No matter what is inside it, that woman is dead and Eudora has left home for so many years. You're totally eligible to inherit the things in the box."

Kesha nodded and said, "Mom, that's right. That's it. Tell me, where is the box? I'll steal it for you."

Felicia shook her head, "It's no longer in the house. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to come home!"

Kesha was stunned, "It's not at home? Where do you want me to replace it then?"

Felicia paused for a moment and said, "Just look for it at any place that could have a safe, like a bank, perhaps. In short, please investigate for me..."

Kesha was speechless. However, when she thought about just how much Gordon had treasured the box, it seemed that its contents might be really valuable! Who in this world wouldn't want to have more money?

Kesha nodded, "Okay, leave it to me. I'll help you get to the bottom of this!"

After Eudora got home, she had a heavy feeling in her heart.

Eudora served the dishes that Gordon had asked her to bring back on the table carefully. Juju looked at the dish in confusion, "Mommy, is this the takeout that you had ordered?" Eudora shook her head, "No, your grandfather gave it to me! Do you want to try it, Juju?"

When she heard that it was from her grandfather, Juju nodded and said, "Okay!"

Eudora had initially thought that Juju would be resistant since she had never heard of her grandfather before. Besides, Amos had also cut ties with them for a long time. Unexpectedly, she accepted it with open arms.

"Juju, do you like Grandpa?"

Juju thought for a moment and said, "You said that Grandpa is also part of our family, so yes."

At this moment, a scene suddenly flashed past in Eudora's mind. Gordon was lying on the bed, and she was standing by the bed with her hands holding her belly.

At that moment, she had a thought in her mind, "He is also my family..."

Eudora frowned. Was that a memory from the past?

Seeing her pale face, Amos took her hand hurriedly and asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing!" Eudora shook her head, "It's just that I had a little headache all of a sudden. It's probably because I have had too many things to do today! I'll be fine after taking a rest!"

Amos's expression changed, "Go and grab some food then. Rest after you eat."

Eudora felt a twinge of bitterness in her heart. She reached out and pressed her finger on his furrowed eyebrows.

"Amos, don't worry. Look at how pale your face is. I'm just tired..."

"Alright! Let's have dinner. I'll accompany you to rest after that."

Juju, who was next to her, immediately said, "I'll also stay beside Mommy..."

"Great!"

Eudora curved her lips and said, "We can rest together!"

She had initially thought that it was just their figure of speech. However, just after dinner, when she stood up and was about to help Auntie Valerie to clean up the tableware and cutlery, she was taken away by Amos before she could even lay her hands on them.

"Let's go upstairs and get some rest."

Eudora shook her head, "I feel much better now..."

"No can do!"

Eudora had no choice but to look at Juju again, "Juju, didn't you say that you wanted to practice shooting with me?"

Juju merely shook her head firmly. "Mommy, sugar-coated bullets don't work for me. You said that you wanted some rest, so you have to do it."

Even Auntie Valerie nodded and echoed their sentiments, "Miss George, you should rest. I can handle the rest."

Eudora had no choice but to compromise.

After that, Amos and Juju surrounded Eudora like a precious treasure as they made their way upstairs together.

Eudora habitually slept on the side again, but Juju rushed over, "Mommy, you're sick, so you should sleep in the middle. Daddy and I will protect you!"

Amos also nodded, "You're such a good girl, Juju!"

Eudora had to yield to them. As she lay in the middle, she watched them who enclosed her from left and right.

She had been feeling a little downcast because of Gordon, but due to the interaction between Amos and Juju, her mood seemed to lighten up a little, and she could even sense that she was healing rapidly. Eudora became excited and didn't feel like sleeping anymore.

Juju sighed and put her hands on her forehead, pretending to be an adult. "Dora, you're such a worrisome person! You should rest if you don't feel good. You know what, let me tell you a story!"

Eudora was speechless.

This girl was witty!

However, Amos still gave her a silent encouragement, as though he was trying to tell her just how smart she was. Soon, Juju took a picture book and began to tell the story to Eudora.
