My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 197

Wendy went straight back to her apartment after leaving Caleb's place.

When Auntie Agnes saw that she was back, she quickly ran up to her. "Miss, you're finally back. Where

did you go last night?"

"Oh, something came up at the office. I have been busy all night long!"

Auntie Agnes nodded. "Then I'll go and get something for you to eat!"

"No need!" After saying that, Wendy added, "Did Amos look for me?"

"No!" Auntie Agnes shook her head. "Mr. Granger would have called you if he wanted to see you!"

"Oh, right!" Wendy nodded and headed to take a shower.

After coming out, she thought through it again and decided to buy something to bring over to the

Granger family.

Old Master Granger was sitting in the garden after taking his medicine. A servant came over and

reported, "Miss Liam is here to see you!"

The Old Master was stunned, and then he remembered the agreement he had with Amos Granger. He

shook his head and said, "Tell her that I'm still sleeping."

Upon hearing this, the servant turned around and left. After hearing this, Wendy's grasp tightened at

the things she brought with her. What an ungrateful old man. All her previous efforts had gone to waste!

As she was thinking about it, Wendy heard Kaylene's voice behind her, "Is that you, Miss Liam? What

are you doing here?"

Wendy was stunned and looked up at Kaylene, who was dressed up fancifully. Five years ago, when

she came to the Granger family for the first time, Kaylene seemed to have taken a liking towards her.

However, after she got engaged to Amos, they no longer contacted each other.

But now...

Perhaps, she had a lifeline in the Granger family after all - Amos' second aunt.

Thinking of this, Wendy immediately faked a smile, "Auntie, it's been a long time since we last met!"

"You don't say! That's because you rarely come to the old house over the past few years. I've been

wondering when we would be able to meet to catch up. Are you free today?"

Wendy nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, I am!"

"That's good. I was about to go shopping. Let's go together!"

Wendy nodded and got into the car with Kaylene. When the drive started, Kaylene said, "You seem to

have lost a lot of weight recently. What's going on? Is Amos not treating you well?"

"No!" Wendy replied.

"That's good. You two should have been married by now. It's been five years. Don't you feel anxious

about it?"

Wendy said lightly, "Amos is not ready yet."

"What? Aren't all men the same? Listen, I'm only telling you this because I like you; if you want to

capture a man's heart, you have to first capture his body. Look at you, you must not have done it with

Amos yet, haven't you?"

Wendy's heart skipped a beat. "No, not yet."

"I have something good here," Kaylene said, blinking her eyes.

In the evening, back in the old house of the Granger family.

A family of three was sitting in the living room. Sitting at the main seat was Old Master Granger and

Bethany, his first wife. She had kept a very low-profile these few years, and didn't seem to hold any

presence at home as well.

At this moment, Bethany lowered her head as she served the Old Master some food.

Harry couldn't help but ask, "Amos hasn't been home for dinner in a while, hasn't he?" NôvelDrama.Org content.

The Old Master didn't say anything, but he was still hopeful in his heart. His hands immediately froze at

the question.

Bethany said in a hurry, "What are you talking about? Amos is a very busy man. When he is free, he

will definitely come back!"

"Busy with what? I saw an old colleague yesterday. I heard from him that Amos hasn't been to the

office for a few days. I don't know what he's busy with!"

Hearing this, Bethany was stunned. "Is Amos sick? It's my fault. I should go and see him."

The Old Master snorted, "That's enough, let's have dinner!"

But the Old Master had lost his appetite. After eating two mouthfuls, he went upstairs.

At the same time, Amos' cell phone rang. He took a look at the number and saw that it was the landline

from the Old Master's study. He answered the call.

The old man's unhappy voice soon came from the other side of the line. "What are you busy with? You

haven't been to the office for days, and you won't come home. Are you trying to piss me off?"

Amos was confused, "I have my own plans for the company."

"What plans do you have exactly? You just want to butt heads with me don't you? When I'm finally

dead, no one will force you to do anything then."

Amos frowned. "I have no such thoughts."

"If that's not what you're thinking, then you ought to get married and have kids for me. You ought to go

back to work!"

Amos scoffed in return, "I won't marry Wendy, and you promised me that you'll give me a year."

"I did promise you, but what about you? I promised to give you a year, but it's not for you to abandon

the company! You either go back to work or cancel our agreement! Weigh your options and make your

decision!" After that, he hung up the phone in a huff.

Amos stood there, stunned for a while. He felt that his father's temper of late was very strange. Wendy

must have had something to do with it.

Wendy...

Amos pursed his lips. It seemed that he had to deal with this matter as quickly as possible.

While he was still lost in his thought, a small hand suddenly reached out and grabbed him. As soon as

Amos lowered his head, he saw Juju looking at him with her big round eyes.

Amos' heart softened immediately and he said hurriedly, "Are you here to ask me to have dinner?" After

thinking about it, he bent over to pick her up and started the automatic wheelchair. "Let's go!"

In the evening, the three of them slept on the same bed as usual. Juju seemed to have gotten used to

this. Only when she was surrounded by two people, she could have a complete sense of security.

The next day, at breakfast, Amos' cell phone kept on ringing. However, he just declined and ignored all

the calls.

Later, he decided to turn his phone off.

Seeing this, Eudora asked, "Is there anything wrong at the office? You should go ahead! I'll look after

Juju."

When Juju heard that he was going to leave, she quickly came down from the chair and pulled at

Amos' sleeves. She looked at him with her pleading eyes, which was enough to melt anyone's heart!

"It's alright." After saying that, Amos held Juju in his arms, "Juju, what do you want to eat? Why don't

you have an egg?"

Eudora pursed her lips. After the meal, she said, "We've already troubled you so much, why don't we

go to the office with you?"

Amos was taken aback to hear this and he looked at Eudora in disbelief.

"Either ways, I have to go to work too. I want to finish that project as soon as possible. This way, you

will be at ease, which will make me at ease as well."

She hadn't gone to work for the past three days ever since her first day at Valiant East.

She was afraid that Amos would not agree, so she hurriedly asked Juju, "What do you think, Juju?"

Juju must have understood their conversation. She nodded immediately, and Eudora breathed a sigh of

relief.

However, Amos felt a little annoyed after hearing Eudora's explanation. Was this woman really dying to

leave him so badly?

Would completing the project early make herself at ease or make him at ease? However, he also knew

clearly he would never be able to compete against her in terms of stubbornness.

Amos pursed his lips and said after a long time, "Since you insist, we can go to work together.

However, there is a rule in the company that employees can't bring their children to work."
