My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 267

Juju had a cold war with Eudora George because of this matter. She refused to speak to Eudora for the

entire night. She even moved all of her things to the nursery next door.

Although Eudora was silent, she was still saddened by Juju's behavior.

Amos Granger finally found Eudora in the kitchen. Her figure was illuminated under the warm yellow

lights, her back trembling ever-so-slightly.

His heart ached. Making large strides into the kitchen, he pulled her into a tight embrace.

"You don't have to worry about this. I'll make sure to teach her a lesson!"

Eudora grabbed him hurriedly. "What are you going to do?"

"Nobody is allowed to make you cry, not even my own daughter."

His words seemed to have comforted Eudora a little, "What are you going to do then? Beat her?"

Amos frowned, "It's my fault that she has become like this. So I have to teach her a lesson."

Amos spun out of the kitchen and immediately headed towards the stairs. Eudora followed after him

hurriedly. Before she could call out to him, Amos turned to look at her as though he had sensed her

thoughts, "Don't worry. Everything will be fine." Eudora calmed down after hearing his reassurance.

Juju was sitting on the floor and leaning against the bed in the nursery, pouting her mouth.

Amos turned the lights on, "Juju, we need to talk!"

Juju ignored him, moving her head to face the other way.

Amos seemed a little angry, "If you're not willing to speak to me, you'll never lay your eyes on this gun

ever again!"

This made Juju nervous, "What do I have to do to get it then?"

"First, tell me why you want the gun."

The pair stared at each other stubbornly. In the end, Juju caved. She pursed her lips and said, "I want it

so that I could protect Mommy!"

Amos was stunned by her words. He had thought of numerous reasons in his head, and he would

always come to the same conclusion. He thought that Juju only wanted the gun as a means for

entertainment. He had never thought that Juju's insistence on carrying a gun was to protect Eudora.

In that instant, he felt like a failure.

Amos thought that Juju had recovered completely. He did not expect that she was still traumatized by

the things that had happened that day.

He lifted Juju off her feet with his large hands, a frown etched on his face, "I'm sorry, it's Daddy's fault.

Protecting your Mommy should have been my job."

Juju shook her head, "Daddy is busy with a lot of things, so I'm willing to share the burden with you."

His daughter really was the light of his life. His heart warmed at the thought.

"Shall we strike a deal then?"

Juju looked up at him curiously, "What deal?"

"Your Mommy is right. A gun is too dangerous for a child. I'll have this modified for you so it wouldn't be

as dangerous. Once you've grown up, I'll remodel it back to its original state. What do you think? Do we

have a deal?

"Okay, deal!" Juju exclaimed with bright eyes.

Everything was fine now, and he had successfully solved the crisis at hand. Amos then said with a

smile, "Great. Let's have dinner then! Remember that you must apologize to your mother when you see

her later!"

Juju nodded.

Eudora had prepared dinner downstairs and she was already sitting at the dining table. At this moment,

she was looking out of the window leisurely.

Upon seeing Amos and Juju by the door, she stood up in a hurry, "Dinner's ready!"

Juju left Amos' embrace and went up to Eudora, her big eyes were filled with guilt, "Mommy, I'm sorry."

Eudora was shocked. She looked up, only to meet with Amos' gaze. She realized that Amos had Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

successfully convinced their daughter.

To be honest, she had acted a little rash at the time. Even though Juju was unwilling to comply, she

could have just explained the situation to her nicely. However, she had chosen the most irrational

solution to resolve the matter, which was to snatch the gun away from Juju.

"It's alright. Mommy wants to say sorry to you too."

"It's okay, Mommy!" Juju replied. The three smiled at each other and began to eat.

Eudora received word from the old house that Steven Granger was back when she got home the next

evening. To celebrate his return, everyone would be having dinner together later that night.

Eudora had only met Steven once. She had previously heard that he had gone abroad to study. Was

he back for good this time then?

She told Amos about the news once he got back, but Amos did not seem to be least surprised. Instead,

it looked as though he had known about it all along.

"It's the time for Steven to come back. Otherwise, Uncle Harry would be anxious."

Eudora thought it made sense. Although Amos made no comment on what Tiffany did, Eudora already

had her own guesses. After all, Tiffany did just get back. It would be unreasonable for her to instantly

start making trouble.

Unless there was someone else instructing her to do so.

Undoubtedly, within the whole Granger family, such instructions would only come from that Harry.

Now that Tiffany had disappeared, was Steven here to take her place?

Eudora looked at Amos endearingly, "Are you tired?"

Amos nodded. "Yeah, a little."

"Well, how about I set up a bath for you to relax after dinner?"

"It's okay. I'll be fine as long as you're here."

Eudora did not know what to say.

When the three arrived at the living room, the atmosphere in there was unexpectedly lively. As Steven

had been away a few years, he had a lot of stories to tell.

At this moment, the Old Master, Bethany Hamilton, Vincent Granger, Harry Granger, and Kaylene

Yoder were all gathered in the living room. Steven was standing in the midst of them, smiling while

talking merrily.

It had been a long while since the main house had been this lively.

Upon seeing the three of them walk in, Steven stood up with a smile. "Hello, Amos! Eudora!"

Eudora was taken aback by his address. The Old Master's face instantly turned cold since he was still

angry with Eudora.

Steven was confused by the reactions he received from Eudora and the Old Master. Harry interjected,

"Steven had just gotten back, so he probably didn't know what had happened in the family. Please don't

get angry."

Old Master Granger let out a short snort and turned his head towards Bethany. "Let's have dinner now."

Harry had roped Steven into drinking during the meal. Steven had really matured over the years, even

the way he spoke had become sophisticated.

After the meal, Harry spoke up.

"Brother, Steven seems to have some ideas this time."

The Old Master looked up at him, "Steven, let's hear it then."

Old Master Granger had always had a very short fuse. However, he would always treat his family best,

particularly Harry, his younger brother. They were both brothers from the same mother. The two were

inseparable, like two peas in a pod.

Therefore, as long as the idea wasn't anything outrageous, the Old Master would not say anything

offensive.

Steven hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Well Uncle, here's the thing. I hosted an event relating to amusement parks with a few of my mates

abroad. Now that the living standards in the country have risen significantly, a lot of people are focused

on getting better food, drinks, and entertainment. So, I was thinking of opening an amusement park

with my mates!"

The Old Master nodded, "Sounds like a good project. What do you think, Amos?"

Everyone in the room looked at Amos nervously. Steven was the only one who was smiling kindly at

him.

"Yeah Amos, you're more of an expert in this field. It would be great if you could help me review my

plans."

Amos raised his eyebrows, "Steven has indeed become more sensible. Second Uncle, you must feel

very assured. The project does sound like a good idea. This country really does lack places for

entertainment like amusement parks. However, without looking over the project outline, I can't quite

make any final conclusions yet."
