My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 716
Initially, they thought that it would be fine after they ate it, but their encouraging attitude made the women more energetic. Soon, the second round of grilled food came.
The men couldn't take it anymore and asked them simultaneously.
"Let us handle it. All of you have worked too hard. Go over there and take a rest with the children!"
However, Eudora was still very interested in the barbeque and said, "I'll roast for a bit more?"
When Thea and Tina heard that Eudora would continue, they nodded and said, "Let's go for another round."
Harley almost knelt down to beg Eudora.
"Eudora, I beg you, please let us go!"
Eudora shrugged her shoulders, "Forget it then. Let's go over there and have some tea!"
That night, the moon hung high in the sky in the clearing in front of the wooden cabins in the forest. Three men were enthusiastically roasting, while three women were drinking tea with their children on one side.
Tina touched Juju's round cheeks and said, "If only I could have a daughter as cute as Juju!"
Thea's interest was immediately piqued, "Are you still not going to have a child?"
Thinking of it, Tina and Christopher had been married for one or two years.
"Yes, we're going to!" Tina said, "At first, he really didn't want to have children since his father had made that will. However, his attitude changed after he saw both of your children when he went to the hospital last time. We are preparing for pregnancy now!"
"Really?" Thea smiled widely, "Then, I'll be the one to congratulate you first!"
Eudora also nodded, "The child will be yours, and this has nothing to do with the will. If you don't want to use the child to fight for the will, that will be your choice."
However, Tina was not so optimistic, "Eudora, you don't understand. Christopher's eldest brother is keeping an eye on us too closely. I'm worried that they'll attack me once I have a child. When that happens, we'll be in trouble..."
The three of them fell silent, "If worst comes to worst, then move to our place. The Granger family has a lot of people, they'll definitely be able to protect you,"
Said Eudora.
She had never experienced a sisterly relationship since she was young and she had ended up in an unpleasant state with Kesha. Only Tina, a sister she had never met before, had given her a lot of comfort. It really made Eudora feel like she had a real sister, so she naturally hoped that Tina would be fine.
"It's not that dramatic." Tina smiled and said, "Christopher can protect me. If something goes wrong, I'll definitely ask you for help!"
Since Tina had already said so, Eudora had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Thea sighed, "I also want a child, but Harley disagreed. He may still have some unsolved concerns in his heart."
As for the matter between the two of them, Eudora and Tina were very clear about it. They turned around, looked at Harley, who was fooling around, and they spoke in unison. "You must be overthinking!"
Thea smiled bitterly, "You haven't known him like how I have, so you don't understand."
Although Thea had said so, Eudora and Tina held the same thought. Then the topic ended as the three men came.
The men put what they had roasted on the table and asked, "Give it a taste."
It had to be mentioned that they didn't expect that the three of them could barbeque so well, considering they were business elites or CEOs of their own companies.
Eudora picked it up and took a bite, "Not bad."
She took another one and handed it to Juju, "Come, taste your father's cooking."
Juju had always been the most supportive one, hence she immediately took a piece and put it into her mouth.
"It's delicious!"
Glancing sideways, she immediately pushed it to Eudora's mouth again, "Mommy, you eat too. See if it's good or not?"
Eudora took a bite, "Delicious! Daddy's awesome."
Juju and Eudora then looked at each other and laughed.
Tina sighed, "This place is so nice. When we came just now, I saw roads being repaired over there. If the roads had finished being repaired, there wouldn't have been such a peaceful environment anymore. What a pity."
Harley was stunned, "There has been a road here since a long time ago! It's the one you said that's undergoing maintenance! The road in front is connected to the high-speed train!" "Really? But why can't I hear anything?"
"Perhaps, it's because there were too many trees and they have blocked it." Harley said.
This statement made Eudora's brain turn. According to Harley, the place was indeed quiet though there was a highway outside!
If trees could block the noise, she thought of giving it a try.
Thinking of this, Eudora couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart. Coincidentally, Sugar Bun was asleep too thus she immediately got up, "I'll take the child in and have a rest. Have fun." When Juju saw this, she was about to follow her mother, but she was held by Amos.
"Your mommy needs to have some peace and quiet time for a while. I'll keep you company instead."
"Okay!" Juju said with a smile.
After entering the room, Eudora closed the door and realized that the voices outside had been cut off. This was obviously an ordinary log cabin, yet it had such an effect.
In fact, as a designer, she should have known that the trees could produce soundproofing effects. However, she just seemed to have overlooked that important fact.
Many people had rejected the proposal, thus she subconsciously thought that this project would be a challenging one.
On the contrary, she had actually complicated it.
After putting Sugar Bun on the bed, Eudora switched on the computer that she had brought with her to the trip.
After examining the design drawings for a while, a new problem popped up. She finally understood why the previous designers had given up on the case.
It was because, according to their plans, there was no place for large-scale growth for the trees at all.
The city was essentially noisier than the mountain village. To plant a forest, it definitely needed a big piece of land.
Just then, there wasn't even a single spot left for them to plant those trees.
Eudora covered her forehead in her hand. Her rising hope soon fell again.
She was so anxious that she did not know Amos had entered the room. Amos laid Juju, who was also asleep, down on the bed and he poured a glass of water for Eudora.
"Drink some water!"
Eudora sighed, "Am I too dumb? You've had such a hard time guiding me, and I should've worked hard to pull off this deal, but I seem to have failed you!" Amos chuckled, "Silly, I didn't bring you here to listen to this! What I'm doing is to make you happy. As long as you're happy, what I'm doing won't be in vain."
Eudora raised her head and looked at Amos, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. It's fine, it's just a difficult challenge, right? I'm not afraid! I'll definitely think of a better solution!" Eudora picked up the glass and gulped it down, "You should rest first. I'll look at this for a little more."
Amos shook his head, picked up a book and leaned against the chair.
"I'm not sleepy. I want to stay with you."
