My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 179

As soon as he heard the word "granddaughter", Old Master Granger shot up from his wheelchair with a

loud thud. He looked at Amos with a fresh, excited look in his eyes as if he had suddenly regained all

his spirit.

"Are you planning to get married?"

Of course, Amos was planning to get married. The moment he laid his eyes on Eudora, he wanted to

marry her there and then.

However, that woman was still very cautious around him and it would be unwise of him if he acted too

aggressively.

"I am planning to!" Amos said.

"To Wendy?" the Old Master asked.

Amos looked at the Old Master suspiciously. "Didn't you use to hate her before? What made you

change your mind so drastically?"

The Old Master choked and said exasperatedly, "Are you the only one who would change over the

years? Wendy has been visiting me quite often recently, and I realized that I may have been wrong

about her before. Is this reason good enough for you?"

Amos snorted, "I'm afraid you are still wrong."

"What?" The Old Master didn't understand his words, so he asked again in confusion.

"Nothing!" Amos answered dismissively. There were a lot of things that he still had his doubts on, and

moreover, he did not have any definite evidence just yet. It would be better for him not to say anything

for the time being.

"Then what are you thinking? Don't make me wait for another five years. This father of yours is getting

old and I can't wait any longer!"

When the Old Master finished his last sentence, there was a trace of exhaustion in his aged voice.

Amos' heart skipped a beat. He blurted out, "One year, give me another year. Within a year, I'll either

get you a granddaughter, or I'll promise you that I will marry someone."

One year...

Old Master Granger pondered about it for a while and finally nodded. "Fine, I'll give you one year."

After the meal, the Old Master and his caretaker left together, leaving Wendy behind so that Amos

could send her home.

Old Master Granger had planned this beforehand in his mind. No matter what, it would not hurt for both

of them to cultivate their feelings first.

However, the moment when they went out the door, Amos immediately asked the driver to send Wendy

home. Wendy hurriedly stopped him, "Let's get into the car together. We'll go back together."

"It's alright. I still have some matters to attend to. You can go ahead!"

After Wendy left, he made a phone call to Eudora.

At this moment, Eudora had just returned from Clearwater Bay. She felt much more relaxed knowing

that Amos was not at home. However, Juju seemed to be a little unhappy.

When she got home, she kept badgering her, "Mommy, where did uncle go?"

Eudora had no choice but to say, "He went to work!"

"Then he must be tired after working so late. Why don't we send him something?"

"No, I don't think so. There are a lot of people taking care of him!" Eudora said.

"That's not the same. There might be a lot of people around him, but they are not me!"

This cheeky girl made Eudora speechless. In the end, she had to change the topic, "You have school

tomorrow, it's best if you go to bed now! Otherwise, your teacher will not give you five stars as a

reward!"

This phrase succeeded in convincing Juju, and Eudora could finally catch a breath.

When she was about to take a shower, her cell phone suddenly rang. Thinking that it was Christopher,

Eudora called Juju to pick up the phone. "It should be Uncle Gellert, please answer it for me."

Juju's sweet voice chirped as she answered the call. The next second, she suddenly got out of bed and

handed the phone to Eudora. "Mommy, Uncle said that he can't move. He needs our help."

Eudora was stunned and quickly took over the phone. "Christopher, what's wrong with you? Where are

you? We'll be there right away." After a while, the man on the other end said slowly. "It's Amos. I'm just

around the corner near your hotel."

Eudora was speechless.

Amos? Why did he call her? Why was he asking for her help? What was going on?

While she was in her thoughts, Juju was already shouting anxiously, "Mommy, what did uncle say?

How is he doing now?"

However, Eudora declined.

"Mr. Granger, don't you having a lot of assistants in Rosaville City? If they are not available, you still

have your family and friends. Juju and I are about to go to bed..."

Amos suddenly sneered. "Doesn't Christopher have family and friends as well? Why were you so Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

anxious then?"

Eudora was speechless.

"It's... it's not the same. His family wants him to stay abroad forever and to never come back."

"And my family doesn't want that for me?"

This time, Eudora had no words to refute him. She knew better than anyone how his family had always

treated him.

"Then... where is your assistant? I'll call Clint for you, or Harley..."

Amos didn't answer her. He hung up the phone. Subconsciously, Eudora wanted to call him back, but

her hand froze, hovering over his contact number. Forget it, he'll be fine.

However, Juju refused to sleep no matter what. She used the hotel landline and tried to call Amos'

number, but the call just couldn't get through.

The unanswered calls were enough to make Juju break down and sob uncontrollably, "Mommy is a bad

person. Uncle saved me, but Mommy refused to save him."

Eudora was speechless. "Someone will save him."

"He doesn't have anyone. He's alone. I know that he must be very lonely. Mommy, let's go and see

uncle, okay? I promise I will listen to you in the future." Juju pleaded through her tears.

Eudora was conflicted. Her mind was buzzing and her heart was all over the place. She didn't know

whether it was because of Juju or it was because she herself was anxious as well.

In the end, she had no choice but to compromise. "Juju, remember what you had promised me. From

now on, you must listen to me. We'll observe from a distance. If uncle is fine, we won't show our faces."

"Alright!" As soon as she finished speaking, Juju ran to put on her shoes, then the both of them walked

out.

The two of them quickly rushed over to the location Amos had mentioned. At first glance, they saw

Amos sitting in his wheelchair, completely still. At the bustling entrance of the hotel, he looked exactly

like a statue.

People who were coming in and out of the hotel stared at him as if they were watching a circus act, and

some people even took out their mobile phones and started to snap photos of him.

Juju frowned and said, "Uncle is not happy. How could those people treat him like that?"

Eudora frowned as well. "It's alright. Uncle is an adult, he can protect himself."

She thought that as long as Amos gave up waiting for her, he would surely call Clint to take him home.

The situation would then be settled, wouldn't it?

When she was still thinking about it, a seductive woman strutted out from the side. Her voice was a

little shrill, and her eyes wandered all over on Amos.

"Hey handsome, are you alone? Care to take a picture?"

Amos' brows furrowed tightly, and his whole body already exuded an aura of coldness due to Eudora's

absence.

However, the woman was attracted by his handsome features and did not mind his coldness. Boldly,

she took two more steps forward, inching closer to him.

"What's with the fierce look, babe? No worries, I like men who are intimidating. Why not you come to

my place? I have a huge house...."

As she crooned, she started to stretch her fingers towards Amos.

Eudora's heart sank immediately. She remembered that Amos would get red rashes all over his body

whenever a woman touched him. Without any further thought, she hurriedly ran over.

At the same time, Charlie Feld, who had been watching from a distance away, was also heading

towards Amos. Even if Amos didn't do anything, Charlie wouldn't never allow anyone to hurt him.

But Eudora completely forgot about this. She only knew that Amos was in danger.

"Stop, don't touch him!" Eudora yelled.

Just when the woman's finger was one millimeter away from Amos, Eudora appeared out of nowhere

and jammed herself in between the woman and Amos.

The woman threw a murderous glare at her, "Who do you think you are? Are you here to spoil my fun?"

Eudora bit her lip, struggling to come up with an appropriate answer. Noticing Juju who was behind

Eudora, the woman laughed amusingly.

"Did you bring your daughter along to seduce men? How interesting,"

Before Eudora could react, Juju immediately rushed out and snarled at the woman, declaring, "This is

my daddy and mommy!"
