My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 694

Kesha's funeral was not held extravagantly and Gordon preferred it that way. Kesha was already in a very miserable state when she passed and he didn't want to restrain her any longer.

It only took less than half a day for her to be buried.

Eudora was very concerned about Gordon's state, therefore, she followed him. She accompanied him, who stood in front of Kesha's tomb for a long time.

Soon, darkness fell, Gordon sighed and said, "Let's head back!"

Eudora looked at Gordon worriedly. Gordon was first to speak.

"Don't worry about me. I will go back to the sanatorium since Kesha is no longer here. I don't wish to trouble you anymore. My only wish is that both you and Amos will get along just fine. At least, I'd be in peace when my time is up here."

Eudora chased after him, "Let me accompany you back!" "There's no need forthat!" Gordon waved his hand, "I'll go by myself. I'm haven't lost my memory yet."

Even so, Eudora drove behind Gordon and made sure he reached the sanatorium safely before heading home with Amos.

Cindy took Juju and Sugar Bun to have a rest after a long and tiring day.

Eudora peeked through the door and watched them secretly. Juju had her arms wrapped around her younger brother and both of them were soundly asleep.

Closing the door gently, Eudora returned to the room and threw herself onto the sofa. She was too tired to move.

It had been a long and exhausting day.

She had already fallen asleep when Amos came into the room. Although asleep, sadness could be seen on her face. Amos was worried that she might catch a cold, sleeping with such thin clothes, so he carried her into the bathroom and helped her wash up. Hethen changed her into pajamas.

Eudora seemed to be having a nightmare. Kesha's words kept repeating themselves in her mind.

Was the true leader of the organization hiding among them?

Eudora kept asking, "Who is it? Didn't you say that the organization has already been destroyed?"

However, she could not seem to get an answer to her question.

All of a sudden, a black shadow loomed over her body, and she was plunged into darkness. Eudora was so frightened that she woke up from the dream immediately.

Amos, who was next to her, sensed her fear and wrapped his arms around her.

"What's wrong? Are you having a nightmare?"

Eudora shook her head, "I'm okay."

Even so, she was still nervous. She couldn't help but squeeze Amos' arm a little.

She hadn't been able to spend quality time with Amos recently because of the children.

As both of them were in bed now, she snuggled to get closer to Amos.

Amos' embrace tightened.

"Are you tired?"

His voice was hoarse.

Eudora shook her head, "Not anymore..."

Amos climbed up onto her and lowered his head to kiss her.

That night, the warmth from Amos's body calmed the fear in her heart temporarily. Eudora tried to convince herself that perhaps she really had thought too much. Kesha did say that she didn't know much about Fabian.

Just because she knew the details didn't mean that they were the truth.

The police in Greene City had told them that the perpetrator had been caught, hence there shouldn't be any more problems.

Eudora was notified by Leslie the next day that the landlady in Greene City had finally returned.

She was finally back after a month.

Leslie tried to look for other suitable venues, but there were none.

It was difficult to fulfill the expectations and demands they had. Many a time, it was fate, and they eventually settled for the building that caught their eye the first time. Eudora tidied herself quickly and planned to finish her tasks before the children were up. That way, she would have more time to play with them after.

She arrived at the meeting place shortly after. The building still looked the same as the time she first laid her eyes on it.

Leslie was already there.

"Miss Eudora, I've already made an appointment with the landlady. She'll be here soon!"

Eudora nodded, "Okay!"

She took a walk around the building. She hoped that she would be able to sign the lease contract on that day and move the necessary equipment in as soon as possible. However, the landlady did not show up even after waiting for a long time.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Eudora became anxious.

The children were all going to wake up soon. It wasn't easy for her to foster a healthy relationship with them for the past weeks and she wanted to cherish every single moment with them! Leslie, too, became uneasy, "I'll call landlady again."

After a while, she arrived.

The landlady was a woman in her 40s. She was donned in jewelry from head to toe. Eudora was clad in casual attire with light makeup on. Standing next to the landlord, she looked rather plain.

The landlady gave Eudora a once-over look and said disdainfully, "Are the one who is going to rent my place?"

Eudora nodded with a smile, took her business card, and handed it over.

"This is my business card..."

The landlady ignored her gesture, and she smirked instead.

"Forget it! How are you going to rent a three-story office building? You probably couldn't even afford the rent, could you?"

Eudora was surprised. She had no idea why this woman was rude to her. This was clearly the first time they'd met each other.

However, she really liked the building, so she calmed down and tried to negotiate with the landlady.

"Don't worry, we'll pay one month deposit and three months advance payment. There won't be any problem!"

The landlady scoffed, "Three months? Look, I'll be heading to Antarctica next month, and I don't know when I'll be back. What if you fail to pay the rent then? I won't come back just to ask for the rent. It will be a waste of my time." Taking a deep breath, Eudora said, "Alright then, well pay a one-year deposit and three years advance payment, is that okay?"

The landlord froze and then sneered.

"What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"

Eudora was speechless.

Was this woman looking for trouble?

"Have I ever offended you?" Otherwise, why would she treat a potential tenant so rudely?

The woman snorted, "Please, I couldn't care less about you. I've told you previously that I am not interested to rent this building to you. Why are you pestering me then? Because of you, I got scolded by my husband's mother-in-law."

Ah... so that was what had happened.

Eudora pursed her lips, "In that case, allow me to extend my apologies. But you didn't tell me either that you didn't want to rent it to me."

The landlady lashed out in anger, "If it's not all your fault, then is it mine? I've already said that you wouldn't be able to afford the rent! What else do you have to say?"

Eudora's lips twitched. It really was frustrating to deal with people with such a terrible attitude.

"Forget it then!" She no longer wanted to rent the place. Even if she did, it was obvious that she wouldn't be able to get along well with the landlady.

However, the landlady thought that Eudora was afraid, hence she continued to mock her, "Don't you dare leave just like this. You have yet to apologize to me!"

Eudora ignored her and walked off. The landlady chased after her and pulled her hair.

Eudora was caught off guard and she almost fell to the ground. Luckily, someone reached out in time to hold her up.

Amos looked at the woman coldly and asked, "What do you think you're doing?"
