My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 415

Amos was very grateful that she still had such a kind and innocent heart. He did not refuse her wishes.

"That's a great idea!"

He would let her do anything she wanted as long as she was fine.

Anxious, Eudora immediately said, "Then, I'll ask Auntie Valerie to buy some stuff. We'll bring them over later."

"Let's ask Charlie to buy them instead! Auntie Valerie has a lot of work to do."

Eudora nodded, "I'll look for Charlie then."

After that, she left happily.

After Eudora left, Amos turned around and walked towards the kitchen. Auntie Valerie had been in the kitchen ever since she left the room.

Harley was standing by the door. He said hastily when he saw Amos approaching.

"I've asked her already. She said that she was just a little confused for a moment just now. She said that she did not reveal much either. Could it be just a coincidence?" However, Amos didn't seem to think so. He pushed the door open and walked into the kitchen.

Auntie Valerie was peeling some fruits, and she looked a little dejected and not as cheerful as she was always.

Amos came in and stood not far behind her. Then, his gaze fell on the potatoes next to him.

"People always say that potatoes are wonderful. They are filling and perfect for cooking. I happen to think the same way too. What do you think, Auntie Valerie?" Auntie Valerie didn't seem to get it at first. She simply hummed in agreement.

Amos took a washed potato out of the basket and said, "However, there's also a saying that potatoes are actually poisonous, and we shouldn't eat too many of them. However, I think that the potatoes are poisonous only when they are sprouted. I'm still willing to believe that not all potatoes are poisonous and that plenty of them are still perfectly fine to cook with. Auntie Valerie, I have seen what you have done for us over the years. I don't believe that you are the kind of person who would still cook sprouted potatoes for us to harm us. So, what was that all about?"

He was, after all, the great Amos Granger. He knew from the beginning that Auntie Valerie must have encountered some difficulties. Otherwise, she would not have done such a thing.

Auntie Valerie parted her lips, but Amos continued before she could speak.

"After all these years, do you still not believe that I'll be able to help you?"

Auntie Valerie had already lost the opportunity to do what she was told to do. Amos would no longer let her approach Eudora again. If she were to refuse to speak up at this moment, there wouldn't be even the slightest hope for her to save her grandson.

If that was the case, shouldn't she at least take a bet on it?

At the thought of this, Auntie Valerie placed the peeled apple in her hands down and said, "Mr. Granger, I beg you. Please help me. Those people kidnapped my grandson yesterday afternoon. It has been more than ten hours, and they have not given him a bite. My grandson is just a child. How could he bear it? They said that they would let my grandson go if I were to reveal some things to the Madam."

Amos' face was ashen. It was just as he had expected.

"Who are they?" he asked in a low voice.

Auntie Valerie shook her head, "I don't know either. The man called us with a hidden number. His voice has been altered and it was hard to recognize. They threatened to kill my grandson if I don't complete the task by today. Mr. Granger, I really didn't have the intention of harming the Madam!"

Harley's face darkened when he heard this from outside the door.

"Amos, haven't we dealt with everyone who was involved in that last incident? Has Felix come back from abroad? That's impossible, isn't it?"

Amos looked solemn. Harley soon came to realization and said, "Could it be that Felix wasn't the only one involved in the last incident? Could someone else be involved in it too?"

Amos had the same thought. The next second, he punched the countertop as he said, "Help me get to the bottom of this!"

"Alright!" Harley clenched his fists and said, "It has been a long time since I've played with these punks!"

Later, Harley took over Auntie Valerie's phone, "Come with me. Let's talk more about the details."

Auntie Valerie was a little nervous as she stared at Harley. He looked slightly unreliable, thus, she didn't know if she could trust him.

Unsurprisingly, Amos no longer spared her even a glance. He only gave her a cold shoulder.

Auntie Valerie's heart sank. Judging from Mr. Granger's love for the Madam, Auntie Valerie was deeply afraid that she had really offended him this time. She was worried that he would never forgive her. Eudora had been sitting in the living room for quite a while when Amos came out from the kitchen.

When she saw him coming out of the kitchen, she couldn't resist the urge to ask, "Were you cooking again?"

Amos shook his head, "Didn't you say that you wanted to pay a visit to the cemetery? I'll make you something delicious when we get back."

Eudora nodded, "I've told Charlie to prepare a lot of things, including flowers. I've prepared white lilies instead of chrysanthemum flowers."

Amos frowned, "Why did you prepare white lilies? Did you recall anything?" Old Master Granger was indeed fond of white Lilies when he was still alive. However, Eudora had lost her memories, hadn't she? How did she know about it then?

"I didn't recall anything. I just have a gut feeling that the Old Master would like it. I don't know why either."

Amos felt a little relieved, "Let's go then!"

In fact, Amos hadn't gone to visit Old Master Granger since his departure. He had promised him that he would manage Valiant East properly, but because of various reasons, Valiant East was still in the hands of Bethany and Steven.

Amos stood silently in front of the tombstone with mixed emotions.

Eudora placed the items on the ground, crouched down, and cleaned the leaves on Old Master Granger's tombstone silently.

"I'm sorry, Old Master. We were so reckless..." she said cautiously, like a frightened bunny.

Amos ruffled her hair, refuting every word that Eudora was saying in his mind.

"It's all my fault. I'm sure that you know what had actually happened to her by now, Dad. I hope that you would not only have high hopes for her as a daughter-in-law but also cherish her as though she is your own. I'll bear all the punishments. If you must make things difficult for her, then this will be my last visit."

Amos muttered all these words to himself. He then helped Eudora to her feet and said, "Let's go." Eudora was taken aback, "Are we done already? Isn't that too quick?"

"This is enough. We've already come to an agreement!"

"Don't tell me that you've agreed to bear all the responsibilities on your own," Eudora had a serious suspicion that Amos must have said that. "I'll never agree to it! I hope that we'll face it together."

Amos nodded, "Of course, I told him according to what you've said. I told him that it was dreadful that we had done such a thing. Hence, we have to bear the responsibility together. But, Dad said that your responsibility now is to add more Grangers into the family. Therefore, you will be pardoned this time!"

It sounded absurd, but Amos said it in such a serious way, as though it was true.

Eudora was dumbfounded for a moment before realizing that she had been fooled.

"Amos, you're really shameless!"

Amos smiled broadly, "Did you know that already?"

Eudora covered her face in embarrassment. She felt that she could no longer talk to Amos properly. She quickened her pace and walked forward. Behind her was Amos, who was watching her quick footsteps. The smile on his face gradually wavered.

Finally, he looked back at the Old Master's gravestone and pleaded.

"Dad, please watch over her."
