My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 420

Juju then removed herself from Amos' embrace.

"Daddy, I want to make some chicken wings. Mommy loves chicken wings the most, and she'll definitely feel much better after having them!"

Amos nodded and said, "Great idea!"

After that, Amos told Charlie to accompany her to the kitchen.

Amos stood there in a daze for a long time. It was difficult for him to calm his mind.

After a seemingly long time, he was snapped out of his trance by the sound of his cell phone ringing. Harley's voice came from the other end, saying, "Amos, our rescue operation went smoothly. Auntie Valerie's grandson has been rescued!"

Amos remained silent and indifferent as he listened to the sound of Auntie Valerie and Weldon crying over the phone.

Harley frowned, "Amos? What's wrong?"

Amos didn't answer the question. Instead, he said, "Pass the phone to Auntie Valerie."

Harley immediately passed the cell phone to Auntie Valerie. She immediately conveyed her gratitude the moment the phone reached her ear, "Mr. Granger, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, my grandson might have been killed. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life. I will never forget it...". "You don't have to come to Clearwater Bay ever again!" Amos suddenly interrupted her. Auntie Valerie opened her mouth in shock, "Mr. Granger..."

"Ask your son to resign from the company too! I don't want to see him there ever again."

Deep down, he knew that Auntie Valerie and her family had been used as pawns in this incident. However, if it had been before, Amos would not even care whether they had been victims of the situation. He would still nonetheless make them pay for what they had done.

However, he knew that Eudora would definitely be upset if he were to do that.

Therefore, in the end, he decided to give up this harsh approach and said that sentence instead.

Auntie Valerie was in tears on the other end, "Mr. Granger, I know that I've made an unforgivable mistake. But, the Madam has grown accustomed to my cooking. Please, at the very least, let me continue to take care of her..."

"Your service is no longer needed!" If Auntie Valerie hadn't brought up Eudora, he probably wouldn't have been that angry. However, the moment she mentioned Eudora, he became even more displeased. Amos hung up the call and slammed the phone into one of the corners of the study.

He told himself that he needed to be composed and calm. Because at that moment, Eudora needed him. If he couldn't even calm himself, then what about her? Amos stood there alone for a long while gradually regaining his composure. He then picked up the phone, pushed the door open, and walked out.

Charlie and Juju were in the kitchen. There was no one in the living room. Wesley glanced in the direction of Eudora's room upstairs as soon his eyes met Amos'.

The bedroom door was still closed and had not yet been opened.

Amos took a deep breath and made his way upstairs. When he reached the door, he stood there for a while before pushing it open to enter.

Eudora was huddled up in the corner of the big bed, like a helpless child.

When she heard the sound of the door opening, her back stiffened, and she subconsciously turned around. She locked eyes with Amos at this moment.

Amos could see the deep sadness in her eyes. His heart missed a beat. Just as he was about to speak, those sad eyes curved again.

She squeezed out a smile, "I'm sorry, have I overslept today? It seems that I've disobeyed you again..."

Amos' heart ached as he shook his head hastily.

"No, you've been a good girl. The weather outside isn't very ideal today. It's best for us to stay here."

After he said that, it was obvious that Eudora seemed to be much relieved. She then smiled at him.

"Well! I also think that it's a good idea to lie down here!" Amos stepped forward and said, "Could I lie down here with you for a minute? I'm feeling a little tired after running some errands outside." Eudora's body stiffened again on reflex, but soon after, she eventually nodded, "Okay!"

Amos took off his jacket slowly and lay down next to her after changing into his pajamas. They looked at one another, and in the next second, Eudora turned her head away.

"I still feel a little tired. I'll sleep a little longer."

"Hmm," Amos said, "I'm feeling sleepy too. Why don't we play a game? Let's see who falls asleep first. If you fall asleep first, I will reward you tomorrow."

"Sure!" Eudora said in a muffled voice, and both of them closed their eyes at the same time.

Eudora opened her eyes after a while and whispered, "Amos? Are you asleep?"

Amos wasn't asleep. How could he? Seeing her helpless self, he was afraid that he might not be able to sleep well again for the rest of his life.

However, thinking that perhaps, she would cheer up a little if she won, he deliberately steadied his breathing.

Eudora whispered once again, and when she was not met with any kind of response, she turned around slowly and looked at the side of his face.

Her mind had been filled with Amos from the moment she saw that picture to the time she came into the bedroom.

She was traumatized and sad. She felt that it was the most dreadful thing that could happen to a woman. However, she didn't expect that she would still be pampered by Amos so much despite everything that had happened.

As an extremely possessive man, how much effort must he have put in to suppress all those horrible things in his heart?

Also, he had taken care of her meticulously ever since she had gotten pregnant.

The more Eudora thought about it, the more upset she felt. She felt sorry for both her and Amos.

At the thought of this, she stretched her hand out subconsciously and wanted to touch his face. However, her outstretched finger paused midair.

Was she still allowed to touch him?

Eudora looked at her own hand with her face full of hesitation. The next second, Amos suddenly rolled over and took her into his embrace.

Eudora was startled by the sudden movement and she thought that he had woken up. However, after struggling a few times, she realized that he was still asleep.

He was just used to hugging her in his arms.

This feeling drifted quickly through her mind. She knew that this must be a memory from her past.

Her mind was initially filled with unnecessary random thoughts. However, she gradually stopped worrying excessively because of the familiar scent. A few moments later, Eudora yawned and slowly closed her eyes. When the little lady in his arms finally closed her eyes again, Amos gradually opened his eyes.

At this moment, Eudora was in his arms.

She slept tight like a well-behaved kitten. Her shallow breath hit his cheeks, along with her unique scent.

Although his eyes were closed a moment ago, he could still sense the struggle in her heart. She wanted to touch him, but she stopped midway.

Amos sighed and looked at the little lady in his arms with a broken heart.

After a long pause, he said mutely, "You are mine and I am yours. No matter what, you could always touch me, alright?"

Eudora did not respond as she was already asleep.

Amos took it as she had heard his words and kissed her on the cheek before drifting into his dreams with her in his arms.

This nap lasted an afternoon, and neither of them woke up. In the end, it was Juju who knocked on the door outside that awakened Amos.
