My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 403

When Eudora heard his words, she rolled her eyes at Harley.

"What's the matter with you? Aren't you wooing Thea? Why are you still thinking of other women?" Harley chuckled a little in embarrassment.

Amos, who was next to Eudora, glanced at Harley coldly, "What are you laughing about?"

Harley was stunned by his fierce tone.

"Hey, don't overreact, okay? I just chuckled to your wife, do you have to be this scary?"

Eudora smiled at Amos. She could tell that he was being protective of her.

"Forget about the ladies! I'll treat you guys to a meal, how about that?"

"Not coming!" Harley yelled in defiance.

"Well, it's up to you then! When the time comes, I'll invite Thea as well..."

After that, she instantly let out a yawn. She felt really sleepy.

Amos took notice and told Clint to drive more carefully.

Harley looked at Eudora, who was leaning into Amos's arms, begrudgingly and said, "Amos, aren't you being a bit overbearing right now?"

"Do you have a problem with that?" Amos said dismissively.

"Do you think you should be showing your affection in front of two bachelors?" Harley was speechless.

Amos glanced at Clint, "Is it bad?"

Clint nodded, "It does seem to be a little..."

Finally, Harley had found a good friend. He was almost in tears as he hugged Clint. Amos, on the other hand, told him to pack it in.

He then proceeded to take off his coat and covered Eudora with it.

Harley and Clint were rendered silent.

Only after Eudora and Juju were sent back home did Amos walk out and meet up with Clint and the others.

Clint had come over not only to help them register their marriage but also to make a progress report as well.

The three of them headed straight to the study. Clint spoke first.

"President Granger, as we have predicted, Bethany had gone over to speak to Steven as soon as we disclosed the evidence. Although it seemed pretty calm recently, however, I've got some news from private sources. Apparently, Bethany has secretly contacted some senior directors. Steven hasn't been idle as well. He's been planning behind our backs. What are we going to do next?"

"What should we do? Aren't they competing with each other? That must surely be beneficial to us. Let them fight it out first," Harley said bluntly. Clint's thoughts on this matter, however, were different, "The votes that were cast by the board of directors would determine who the next head of the Valiant East will be. Based on President Granger's past experiences in Valiant East, he could consider paying several of these directors a visit. He'll definitely stand out."

There was no doubt about this.

It had only been a few months since Steven had started to lead the company. The group's overall profit had not increased in the slightest as Steven had caused an incident that ruined the company's reputation It took them a lot of effort to get it back on the right track. However, since the first half of the year was almost over, it was pretty difficult for them to start generating profits to mitigate the losses. Although the people in the company did not say anything outright, they were undoubtedly filled with complaints and grudges.

Meanwhile, Bethany had the Old Master's will in her hands. However, she was still a woman after all and had no prior experience. Amos would be more preferable than her to take charge of Valiant East. That was what Clint thought. He turned his gaze back to Amos and asked.

"What do you think?"

Whatever Clint said was right, but Amos still shook his head.

"Let's talk about this another time. We'll have to look into their situation first. I'll be quite busy these few days, so if there are any decisions that needed to be made, go ahead of yourself. Unless it's something big, don't look for me."

After that, Amos stood up, pushed the door open, and left.

Harley and Clint looked at each other, speechless. They didn't know what Amos was up to.

However, Harley was not the kind of person who could hold himself back from questioning. If he didn't understand something, he would try his hardest to figure it out.

He got up hastily and followed Amos out. He saw him walking towards Eudora's bedroom as he spoke to Auntie Valerie.

"Have you prepared the desserts for this afternoon? She likes cakes."

Harley looked on in confusion.

He rubbed at his chest slowly, stepping back in sorrow.

"Clint, my heart aches! I can't believe that Amos has really become uxorious!"

Clint merely looked at him blankly.

Amos quickly made his way down the stairs. Meanwhile, Harley was leaning against the door, watching him fuss around with a disdainful look on his face.

"Amos, you are no longer my domineering brother! Let's break off this brotherhood," he proclaimed dramatically.

Amos huffed a breath, "Whatever..." Harley choked back a gasp of outrage.

As they were speaking, footsteps could be heard from the stairs. Eudora had just woken up. She looked at Harley, confused, "What's the matter with you guys?"

Harley rushed to Eudora in grief. "Eudora... Amos wants to break off his friendship with me..."

Before Harley could even finish his words, Amos had rushed up to them from behind and pushed him aside.

"Don't get too close to Eudora!"

Harley felt like discarded trash at this point.

What was going on? These two were being so weird!

While Amos held Eudora's hand and walked her to have dessert, Harley whispered to Clint as he watched the couple, "Have you noticed that Amos has been acting strange recently? Don't you think that he's being too nice to Eudora?"

Clint thought that Harley was lucky enough to have not seen them be more intimate with each other than he had.

Clint shook his head, looking unsurprised, "Not really..."

"Really? Why does it feel like she's being guarded like a precious gem or something?"

While they were talking, Amos had come back to them. "If you two have nothing else to do, you may leave now. It's getting too noisy here, affecting our rest." "Alright, President Granger, I'm going back now," Clint went out of the room as soon as he said so.

As he left, he pulled Harley along with him. Harley kept on looking back at the eating Eudora and became even more curious.

"Eudora, I thought that you disliked durians."

Eudora rolled her eyes at him, "So what? I like them now. Any problem?"

Harley muttered, "My mother told me that only pregnant women would start having a strange taste for food!"

As soon as he said that, a pin-drop silence filled the room. He raised his head hurriedly and looked at Amos. Noticing Amos's calm and composed facade, Harley finally got his answer before Amos uttering a single word.

"Eudora... Are you really pregnant?"

Eudora merely ignored him. Harley wanted to say something else, but he was silenced by Amos' hostile glare.

"Do you guys need anything else?"

"Alright, alright! We all know that you're a loving couple! Now with a second pregnancy... I can't believe that you value sex more than friendship!" Harley said bitterly.

After that, Harley turned around and took Clint's hand in his.

"Let's go then, Clint. From now on, you shall be my new brother!

Clint looked at him confused. They were two grown men after all. Holding hands was a bit weird, wasn't it?
