My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 58

"To give birth to a child?" Astonished, Eudora's eyes widened.

"Why? Do you not want to?" The Old Master asked, "In my opinion, if you have feelings for Amos and

you are staying with him for a year, you two should have a child!"

"That's different!" Eudora exclaimed, "A child should grow up in an environment filled with love. I can't

do that!"

"Miss George, I hope you can reconsider," he added, "Tell me if you have any other conditions..."

She interrupted, "No, I am not going to do this! I won't agree!"

The old master's face darkened upon hearing her words.

"Miss George, do you think I would ask you to do such a thing if you're not with Amos? I thought you

would be more sensible and understanding," he sneered and continued, "Amos has done so much for

you. I thought you would at least do this for him. I guess I'm wrong. Go back now!"

Eudora didn't reply at all and left instantly.

Harry Granger saw her when she was about to leave the room.

It seemed that he was very pleased with his new role as the temporary president. He even greeted

Eudora when he saw her, "Oh! Miss George, nice to see you. How's Amos?"

"Very well, thank you for your concern," she replied and walked away.

Harry asked the servant next to him after Eudora disappeared from his sight.

"What is she doing here?"

The servant shook his head and answered, "Sorry but I don't know. It was the old master who invited

her here."

Harry frowned. He thought that the old master must have reprimanded her since Amos was punished

by him too.

Eudora sat in her car for a while after leaving the house.

Her mind was occupied by her childhood memories. After her mother passed away, Felicia was married

to her father. There was once when she was chosen to play the role of a mermaid in her school

performance.

She put so much effort into it as she was the main actress. She told her father ahead of time that he

must definitely come and see her perform.

She was so happy when he said he was going to go although he was busy with his work. She took his

promise to her very seriously.

Thus, she had spent more time practicing compared to others as she wanted to show her father her

best. On the day of the performance, she smiled brightly while she was on the stage. Her eyes were

skimming through the audience, row by row, trying to identify the man she wanted to see the most.

But she couldn't find him.

Even after the competition, he did not show up.

Heartbroken and disappointed, she told herself that he must be busy.

She went home right away after. Her jaws dropped when she saw her father chatting with Felicia and

Kesha in his arms in the living room. He praised Kesha, "You little dwarf is really good today. Well

done."

"Thank you, daddy! You're the best," Kesha replied.

Eudora was only ten that year. She couldn't hold their disappointment and shouted, "Why didn't you

go? You promised me that you would be there for my performance. Why weren't you there?"

Gordon realized that he had missed her performance after Eudora reminded him. He looked at her and

said, "Is your show today?"

She would never forget the cold and unconcerned look in his eyes.

She swore to herself that she would rather not have any children in the future if the little one couldn't

grow up in a love-filled family.

Amos arrived home and he couldn't find Eudora. He thought of what happened previously and went

straight to the Granger Mansion.

The butler had been waiting for him at the door. He said, "Young Master, the Old Master has been

waiting for you in his study."

Amos frowned and looked around the house. The butler added, "Miss George has left."

"Alright!" Amos answered and walked to the study.

The Old Master was still looking at the album. He didn't even raise his head when Amos came in.

"Sit down!" He instructed.

Amos ignored him and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Obviously, the Old Master was displeased with his attitude. He roared, "Can't I look for you? You're my

son! We are not just business partners."

Amos couldn't refute this fact.

"Why did you see her?" Amos asked.

Anger shot through the Old Master. He fumed, "Yes, I did. I already know your condition from your

doctor. So, I asked her to bear a child for you since you can only be with her. What's so wrong with me

doing that?"

Amos frowned and uttered, "You shouldn't have meddled in my personal matter."

"Is that a personal matter? You are now the only heir of the Granger family, and your most important

obligation is to have a child of your own. Do you think that I don't know what you've done for that

woman?" The Old Master roared.

He turned on the recorder pen he put on the table.

Amos heard Eudora's voice. In the recorder, she said, "A child should grow up in the environment filled

with love. I can't just give birth to a child just for the sake of having a child!"

"Did you hear that? You have gone through so much for her. But she never appreciated it! Never!" He

bellowed.

Amos sat there quietly for a while before he got up, "Are you done?"

Anger flooded the Old Master's veins. He thundered, "When are you going to stop protecting her?"

"It's none of your business!" Amos slammed the door and stomped out of the room.

Master.

He clenched his fist while his eyes turned fierce. Anger was fuming inside him. "That Old Master wants

Amos and that woman to have a child? I can't lose my position in this family!"

Eudora was cooking with Aunt Valerie when Amos arrived home.

She ran to him with a smile and circled her arms around his waist.

"Where did you go in the afternoon? Why are you so late?" Eudora asked.

Amos didn't say a word. He turned around and gently caressed her cheek.

"Does it hurt?" He asked, looking at the wound on her cheek.

Surprised, she asked. "Am I hurt? I don't know. No wonder my cheek has been itchy all day." Amos

joked, "Be careful, stupid. You might become an ugly monster."

"That sounds great!" Eudora chuckled, "When that happens, I can start over again in another city."

Amos frowned. "Do you want to leave here?"

Eudora was dazed at his reaction. "What's wrong with you? I'm just kidding!"

Amos took the ointment and applied it on her face carefully before they had their dinner together.

After dinner, Eudora and Amos went and watched TV in the living room. It was a rare occasion to see

Amos watching TV.

Eudora's eyes were fixed on a cute little boy on the screen. Valerie blurted out, "Miss, your child will be

more beautiful than this boy."

Eudora was startled and subconsciously glanced at Amos.

Amos said unexpectedly, "We're not in a rush."

Aunt Valerie quickly turned around and left.

A heavy silence fell upon the room. A thousand thoughts were running in Eudora's mind. In fact, she

actually hoped that Amos could be more assertive like his father, the Old Master.

Perhaps if he did, she would feel less guilty to him.

Without a second thought, she mouthed, "Amos, do you want a child?"
