My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 454

Felicia gawked at Kesha in astonishment.

She had no clue that her own daughter would harbor such thoughts. "Kesha, don't be silly! Since Amos doesn't fancy you, it's impossible even if you try. It's better for you to just get along with Steven instead. Steven isn't so bad, is he?"

"What do you know, Mom? Steven may seem fine at first glance, when in fact, he's just an ignorant fool. Moreover, he's selfish. I'm the one who has to resolve his mistakes whenever he messes up, and he'll just blame me if I didn't handle it well. I've had enough of him! Mom, I'm your flesh and blood. Are you really willing to see Eudora enjoy all the best in life while your own daughter continues living a miserable life?"

"But..." For a moment, Felicia didn't know what to do. "But Amos doesn't fancy you!"

Kesha smirked and sat down at her dressing table.

"Mom, do you think that I'm attractive?"

"Of course you are!" Felicia replied.

Both his daughters had inherited his genes. Gordon was very handsome when he was young. Otherwise, why would she have fallen for him? Even after he had declared bankruptcy, she still loved him wholeheartedly.

"Do you think that Eudora and I look alike?"

Felicia was stunned by the question, "Well, yes, but...

"Good. What else is she good at apart from her pretty face? She was just lucky to have met Amos earlier than I did. I'm sure that as long as I work hard enough, he will eventually fall for me too! When that happens, no one could blame me for that, right?"

Felicia remembered the little details that Amos had done out of love for Eudora. She then looked over at her poor daughter. No one knew how much Kesha had suffered over the past few years better than she did.

Her daughter had been with various men, but none of them loved her sincerely. All of them just took fancy to her beauty. If it was possible, of course, she would want her own daughter to replace a good man who would treat her right.

As for a child who was not her own....

Felicia made a resolution in her heart to treat Eudora a little better in the future. Worse comes to worst, she would even let her inherit all of Gordon's assets. Eudora was such a likable person, and she even had someone to accompany her when she went abroad back then. In the future, she could surely replace a man who was far better than Amos.

Felicia did not say more, and there seemed to be a tacit agreement between them both.

The pair then went back down. Felicia brought a plate of fruits over from the kitchen.

"Your father is so happy to see you at home. You two should come back more often in the future."

Eudora and Amos were silent, as though they hadn't heard her. Felicia suppressed her anger and handed a piece of sliced fruit to Gordon.

"Gordon, haven't you been mentioning Eudora again and again lately? Why don't you ask her to stay over for a few days? Our house isn't big but we still have room for them."

Gordon was pleased with Felicia's suggestion. He looked at Eudora expectantly, asking, "It's been a while since you left home five years ago. We left your room as it was before. Eudora, why don't you stay over for two days?"

Eudora furrowed her brows as she thought of Kesha's intent. "I'll visit more often, but I wont be staying over."

It was obvious that Gordon was disappointed.

Eudora felt bad. Logically speaking, she should stay over to spend more time with Gordon, especially since he was suffering from Alzheimer's. After all, it seemed that his condition was worsening over time. Amos knew how Eudora felt, "Your father is right. Why don't we stay over for just two days?"

Eudora was surprised. Amos held her hand and gave her a gentle smile.

Eudora's hesitation dissipated at the sight of his warm smile. She knew that everything would be fine with him around.

She knew that he would protect Juju and her at all costs.

"Alright then," Eudora nodded.

Gordon was over the moon. He then instructed Felicia, "Hurry up and prepare Eudora's room."

Felicia smiled and replied, "There's no need for that. The room is cleaned every day. About Amos' change of clothes ... "

"I'll get Clint to take care of it," Amos replied calmly.

"That's settled then. It's still quite early. Why don't you guys take a stroll outside? Kesha, you liked flying kites with Eudora when you were young. Why don't you two fly a kite outside together?" "Sure!" Kesha responded with a smile.

Juju was thrilled, "I want to fly a kite too!"

After all, she had never flown a kite before.

"I'll go too," Gordon said with a smile.

He took out the kites from the storage room. Eudora thought that they were just joking, so she was amazed when she saw the kite that she used to play with when she was still a child.

Felicia said with a smile, "Your father treasured it very much. He said that it was your favorite."

Gordon seemed a little embarrassed, "Are you talking about? I just wanted to keep it as a memory."

They all moved to the backyard in the George's family residence.

The weather was good today. The evening sun wasn't too bright and there was a gentle breeze, perfect for flying a kite.

They had split into groups of two; Gordon with Juju, Eudora with Amos, and Felicia with Kesha. There were three groups altogether.

Kesha made use of the situation and started to yell, "Why don't we have a match? The winning team gets to ask the losing team to do something for everyone."

Eudora was not interested at all. It would feel too competitive if they had to make everything a race.

However, Juju seemed enthusiastic, "Mommy, I'll definitely win!"

Eudora could only laugh and responded, "Let's give it a try then."

Since they were going to compete with each other, Eudora wanted to make sure that she did not lose to Kesha. She did not recall Amos as someone who knew how to fly a kite. After all, their childhood was probably very different, especially since Amos grew up overseas.

Hence, she would need to rely on herself this time.

Amos held her hand.

"Don't move. Let me do it."

Eudora paused for a moment and replied, "It's okay. It's fine for me to move around a little."

"No way!" Amos protested decisively. As long as there was the slightest risk of injury, he would never let her do it.

Amos gently pushed her back as he held her arm, "Sit here."

Eudora pursed her lips and asked, "What if we lose? I'll get mad!" Amos smirked with a confident look on his face, "Do you not trust me?"

Eudora felt at ease in an instant. She replied, "Well then, I'll sit here and see just how well you're going to perform."

She settled in her seat. Kesha, who was standing at the side, snorted, "Eudora, are you going to just sit back and watch him win this for you? Are you really fine with that?"
