My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 616

Eudora was dumbfounded and glanced around subconsciously.

"Juju, tell me, who made this dish?"

Juju blinked and said, "Mommy, this dish is made by... me, of course! Did you think it was Daddy? Do you miss him?"

After Juju finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at the half-closed door at the back.

She was sure that Amos hadn't left yet and was standing behind the door. If Daddy knew that Mommy cared and missed him as much as he missed her, wouldn't the misunderstanding between them be resolved?

Eudora didn't know what to say. Did she miss Amos?

She should miss him, right? However, under these circumstances, she had to take over the Holt family's affairs. Notably, all the Holt family's subordinates thought that it was Amos who killed Tyler.

At a time like this, she could not make any contact with Amos.

"No!" Eudora shook her head and continued to eat.

Amos laughed bitterly as he stood by the door. He knew that she was heartless.

Juju was a little disappointed and pretended to sigh heavily, looking like an old woman trapped in the body of a young girl, "Alas! It's tough to understand adults!"

Eudora was obviously in love with him, but she still said things that she didn't mean.

Juju was feeling a bit tired. Hence, she leaned on the sofa and yawned.

Eudora was just about to finish her meal, so she walked over and stroked Juju's back. She laughed, "Are you sleepy? I'll bring you home to sleep first!"

Juju's eyes were half open as she said drowsily, "Mommy, are you going to sleep as well?"

Eudora shook her head, "I'm sorry, Mommy can't rest now. There are still many documents waiting for me to read."

Juju shook her head firmly.

"Then I shall stay here to keep Mommy company."

Eudora had no choice and replied, "Then, just close your eyes for a while. Mommy will cover you with the blanket."

Juju wanted to shake her head and refuse, but her heavy eyelids were almost glued together. Before Eudora could finish speaking, Juju had already fallen asleep.

Eudora chuckled and draped a blanket over Juju, allowing her to sleep more soundly.

Then, she yawned and rubbed her eyes to keep her awake. She sat back at the table and resumed looking through the documents.

However, she was feeling exhausted. She hadn't slept a wink since whatever happened to Tyler the day before. Today, she hosted a funeral and hadn't rested ever since she came back. She was already feeling very drained.

However, she continued to persevere.

Amos stood outside the door and looked at her haggard face.

He secretly grumbled, "Little fool, I care about you so much and hate to see you get hurt. But you insist on taking on the Holt family's mess and ended up tiring yourself..."

Eudora yawned again. She closed her eyes and picked up the phone to set an alarm for five minutes.

She was so worn out that she needed a five-minute rest so she could concentrate on her work again.

After setting the alarm, she rested her head on the table. She was so tired that she fell asleep the moment she closed her eyes.

Amos waited for her breathing to become heavier before slowly pushing the door open and tiptoeing in.

The closer he approached her, the clearer he could see the dark circles under her eyes. Amos frowned and reached out to rub her cheek.

The sleeping Eudora seemed to have sensed something and twitched. Amos got a fright and immediately stood up straight. The next second, he felt relieved as she fell back to sleep.

As soon as his attention fell on the documents under Eudora's arms, Amos took a double-take. It was a document about one of the Holt family entertainment centers.

It was written very well, but Amos could tell at a glance that it wasn't a feasible project. He could only deduce that whoever who wrote the document was smart and knew that Eudora wouldn't understand. Although Eudora was sharp-witted, she wasn't experienced. She hadn't been in contact with the filthy dealings of the business world, so it was easy for her to be tricked.

Surely enough, Amos continued to read more and saw that Eudora had already signed it.

Amos frowned. If she signed the agreement, then there would be endless trouble waiting in the future. She might head on the same path as the Nolan family. Now, the Nolan family was already under investigation by higher-ups. Who would ever dare to make one wrong step now?

He carried Eudora and placed her gently on the sofa. Amos allowed her to lie down with Juju and covered her with the blanket too.

After that, he walked over and carefully reviewed all the documents that Eudora had previously read. Most of them had no problems, and for those that had issues, he would just add the word "redo" under her signature.

In the past, he often worked together with Eudora. It was not difficult for him to imitate her handwriting.

It took Amos the whole night to finish reviewing all her documents. By the time he stood up, the light of dawn was already piercing through the night sky.

Both Eudora and Juju were sleeping soundly on the sofa. Amos walked over to his two princesses and kissed them on their foreheads before he reluctantly left through the back door.

In truth, Eudora didn't sleep very well because she had something on her mind. She kept dreaming the whole night long.

She dreamt that she had started leading the Holt family's business but was not supported by others. In her dreams, she had made a mistake and caused a lot of trouble for everyone around her.

Many people who believed in her got into trouble, and everyone was chasing after her to seek justice.

Eudora woke up, startled. She realized the sky was already bright. She had actually slept for the whole night.

She was even more alert upon noticing the stack of documents on the table. She hurriedly got up and continued to work.

However, as soon as she flipped through the documents, she saw her signature on them.

Eudora frowned and picked up another one. She had also signed this document. She even added little comments for those that had problems.

Did she do so many things last night? Why couldn't she recall any of it?

While she was pondering, Hodge entered the room and said, "Miss, those people who brought the documents last night are waiting outside again. Have you approved their documents?"

Eudora still felt that something wasn't right and asked, "Hodge, did someone enter the courtyard last night?"

Hodge was taken aback and said, "That's impossible! Miss, the Holt family's security is the best. Forget people, not even a fly would be able to enter our premises!"

Eudora felt that she was probably overthinking things. Moreover, the handwriting on the documents did look like hers.

She pinched her temples wearily. She was probably too tired and had brief memory loss.

With that said, Eudora took all the documents and handed them to Hodge, saying, "They are all ready. You can take them out and give it to them!"

Hodge gazed at Eudora, relieved to see her up and running again. He thought that Miss George would be in a panic if she suddenly took over the business, but now it seemed that he was worried over nothing. She certainly lived up to the name of Mr. Holt's daughter. She had the demeanor of her father.

"It's still early. Miss, you were so tired yesterday, so please go back to your room and rest for a while. Mr. Clarke will bring people over when it's past ten o'clock. I'll make the necessary arrangements and get the servant to wake you up later at nine!"

Eudora nodded, "Okay!"

She picked Juju up and went back to her room to take a bath. Then, she changed her clothes and took a nap.

At the same time, Clint was staring at Amos' dark circles with suspicion. He asked, "President Granger? Did you not sleep well last night? Why are your dark circles so heavy?"
