My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 643

Fabian was planning to plant a goodbye kiss on Eudora's forehead, but he didn't expect that she would dodge at the very last second. His arms stiffened slightly before he chuckled. "You don't have to thank me from now onwards. Take the flowers. See you tomorrow!" Eudora reached out for the bouquet and said, "See you tomorrow!"

She breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the roses in her hand after the car drove away.

Weren't the flowers supposed to be endearing and lovely? Why did she feel that they were offensive instead?

At this moment, Juju's voice rang out from behind her.

"Mommy, you're back!"

Eudora turned around and pulled the little girl into her embrace, "Have you had your dinner?"

"Yes!" Juju nodded. "Uncle Hodge got the kitchen to cook lasagna today! But it's still not as delicious as yours, Mommy."

Eudora used to cook often, but she didn't have time for that ever since she took over the Holt family's business.

"I'm sorry. Since it's the weekend tomorrow, I'll rest at home and make you your favorite dishes, alright?"

"Really? I want lasagna and nuggets. Oh, right, and Daddy's favorite brussels sprouts too. It would be great if Daddy and Sugar Bun could have a meal together with us too!" Eudora's heart skipped a beat, and she replied lightly,

"Sugar Bun can't consume rice yet, and your Daddy is quite busy!"

"Oh," Juju responded, disappointment evident in her voice. Her attention was soon diverted to the flowers in Eudora's hand.

"Are those roses from Uncle Nolan, Mommy? Are you dating him now?"

Eudora choked, "Juju..."

Juju didn't complain about it. Instead, she said, "You're an adult now, Mommy, so it's up to you to decide, but Daddy and I will always protect you!" Eudora didn't expect Juju to say such wise words.

She felt a lump forming in her throat in an instant. "Actually, I'm not in a relationship with Uncle Nolan. I'm-"

She just didn't want to hold on to that person all the time. She would only be hurting herself if she did not move on. It was just too distressing.

She thought that things would take a good turn if she took a step forward, but it seemed that she was wrong.

Juju patted Eudora's back. "Mommy, let's go home!"

"Sure!"

They then went back hand-in-hand. Eudora glanced at the roses in her hands and eventually threw them into the trash can outside. Eudora slept in the next day after a sleepless night.

The sun was already shining through the curtains when she got up. Eudora woke up and lowered her head to kiss Juju's forehead, who was still sleeping. She recalled her daughter's words from the night before and ignored the complicated feelings brewing in her heart. She got up to prepare a meal.

As she was preparing the ingredients, she saw Hodge scurrying in hastily.

"Miss Eudora, Mr. Clarke is looking for you. He's waiting in the living room outside."

Eudora continued with her motion and chuckled, "Why is an old man like him still busy on the weekend? Pour him some tea and ask him to wait outside for a while. I'm cooking today, so I'm going to treat him to a meal."

Hodge was flustered. "Miss Eudora, I'm afraid that this matter is urgent!"

Eudora paused. She quickly cleaned up and followed Hodge out of the kitchen.

Mr. Clarke was pacing back and forth angrily in the living room. Seeing that Eudora was finally there, he stepped forward quickly.

"Miss Eudora, Amos has crossed the line! He has gone too far!"

Eudora's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong?"

"Do you not know? The involvement of the Granger family in Mr. Holt's death caused a huge commotion. I thought that the police would provide us with an explanation. But, we didn't stir up trouble just like wha you'd requested from us. It's been so long, so I went to inquire just now, and the police said that the evidence given before wasn't solid enough. Even Charlie was bailed out! D*mn, I will bring my men over myself. I'll definitely avenge Mr. Holt!"

"Uncle Clarke!" Eudora him hurriedly. "Don't be rash."

stopped

Leslie snorted. "I was trodden on by others solely because I was too calm. Miss Eudora, if you still have any compassion for Amos this time, don't blame me for not being able to forgive you!"

Eudora pursed her lips. "How could that be? But, Uncle Clarke, our Holt family's reputation has just gotten better. You shouldn't risk this just because of your anger."

"Of course, I wouldn't want the Holt family's reputation to be ruined either, but wouldn't that mean Mr. Holt has died for nothing if we continue to do nothing? He is your father! Miss Eudora, you have to give me an explanation. What exactly do you want? Since you refused to let me deal with them directly, then I'll just file a lawsuit against them!"

Lawsuit?

Eudora frowned, "No! I need to consider Juju and Sugar Bun's feelings too."

Her children were already grown up. How could she let them witness their parents fighting each other in the public courtroom?

Leslie was an impatient person. He scratched his head irritably.

"Nothing seems to work, huh! Miss Eudora, tell me the truth, are you still putting your hopes on Amos?"

"No!" Eudora shook her head. "It's impossible for anything to happen between him and me anymore. Give me one day to handle this matter. If I can't settle this by today, I'll let you do whatever you want to do, okay?"

Leslie finally nodded. "Alright! Miss Eudora, apart from Mr. Holt, the one person I respect most in my life is you. Since you have promised me, I believe that you will keep your word."

He then turned around and left.

Eudora stood rooted to the spot for a moment before returning to the kitchen to continue cooking.

A few moments later, she heard footsteps coming from behind her. Juju came down the stairs and exclaimed, "Mommy, you're really cooking for me. I'm so happy."

Eudora smiled as she wrenched the cabbage in her hand unknowingly.

Juju said, "Mommy, you've ruined the cabbage..."

Only then did Eudora suddenly came back to her senses and put down the cabbage.

"Juju, didn't you say last night that you wanted to have a meal with Sugar Bun and Daddu? Why don't we invite Daddu and Sugar Bun over?"

Juju's eyes widened in shock and joy.

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"Then I'll go and call Daddy now!"

In the bedroom of the Granger residence.

It was only after Clint's constant lecturing that Amos postponed all his official duties and finally took a rest at home for a day.

Doctor Leon stood beside Amos with a fierce expression as he murmured.

"You brat. Just tell me if you don't want to live anymore, I'll give you a clean death. It's still better than torturing yourself like this! Your wound is starting to get infected, but you still won't let me apply medicine to it. Does it not hurt?"

Amos replied nonchalantly, "It's fine"

Doctor Leon rolled his eyes and snapped, "I think you've forgotten about the pain because your scars have recovered! Are you going to let me treat you or not?"

"There's no need..."

Doctor Leon was so angry that he held back the urge to punch him.

At this moment, Wesley took out his phone and said, "Mr. Granger, Miss Juju is asking for you. She said that Miss George wants to invite you and Sugar Bun over for dinner!" Amos was stunned. He bolted up immediately.

Wesley took the opportunity to say, "Mr. Granger, if you're going to go over in this condition, Miss George would be worried if she replaces out about it, won't she?"

Amos, who had been refusing treatment, immediately sat still in front of Doctor Leon and said, "Medicine, now."

Doctor Leon was speechless.
