My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 449

Amos' eyes dimmed.

He pulled her into his arms in a flash.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why wouldn't I be able to accept you?" Amos questioned. Even if the entire world could not accept her, he would be the only one who would treasure her.

Furthermore, she was such an amazing woman. Why wouldn't he accept her then?

Eudora looked up at him, the sparkle in her eyes fading.

"I understand."

"You don't understand!" Amos said, "I'm afraid that I' 11 h u rt you.

She had been pregnant more than four months and the baby bump was slowly becoming visible. He would feel anxious whenever he looked at her belly. He was afraid that she would trip and fall if she was not careful enough.

He would avoid her belly subconsciously out of fear of hurting her whenever he held her in his arms at night too.

It was not as though he had never seen pregnant women before. However, he could care less about other women, so he didn't put much thought into it then. Now that his wife was pregnant with his child, he realized just how great of a sacrifice it was for women to get pregnant. Eudora knitted her brows, "You're lying."

Amos had been actively seeking advice from Helen all this time, so he must have known that the pregnancy would stabilize after its first trimester. That meant that they would be able to sleep together now that the pregnancy was four months along.

Eudora thought that Amos was just making excuses and lying to her.

Hence, she avoided him again and retreated to the far side of the bed.

Eudora had never thought that she was such a weak-hearted person. She also knew that she wasn't such a cry baby in the past. However, whenever she thought that Amos, who treated her like a treasure, actually despised her in his heart, she felt as though her heart had been pricked by a needle.

Tears suddenly welled in her eyes, and Amos was frightened out of his wits.

"Eudora, you ...

He still more to say, but he knew that his explanation was pointless. Anxious, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

At this moment, no words could express how he felt, so he could only prove it with his actions.

She cried even more as his lips touched hers. The warm tears streamed down her cheeks and into his lips.

The tears tasted bitter!

Amos frowned and placed her back on the bed. Then, he got up and walked out of the room.

Eudora could feel her heart sinking as she watched Amos leave the room frantically. She knew that she couldn't be apart from him, but she felt that it would be torture if things were to go on like this. She then slowly got out of bed.

Amos had gone over to the study room. He had always kept his phone in the study room ever since Eudora became pregnant to minimize the radiation from the devices. He took his phone out of the drawer and quickly dialed Doctor Leon's number.

Most often than not, he would ask Helen any kind of questions relating to pregnancies. After all, she was a gynecologist. However, he gave up when he thought of calling another woman in the middle of the night.

At this moment, Doctor Leon had already fallen asleep on his bed. When he saw it was Amos, he jolted up.

"Did something happen?"

Amos responded, "No, I just have some questions to ask you."

Doctor Leon breathed a sigh of relief, "What is it? It's rare for you to call me in the middle of the night."

Amos finally asked after some hesitation, "May know how far along the pregnancy could one typically become intimate again?"

Doctor Leon was a little thirsty after waking up in the middle of the night. He poured some water into the glass and took a sip. As soon as he heard his question, he spat out all the water.

After a few coughs, Doctor Leon burst out laughing.

Amos' face darkened upon hearing Doctor Leon's hysterical laughter.

"Are you done laughing?"

Doctor Leon was older than Amos, so he was not intimidated by his sudden change of tone. He refuted immediately, "No! Hahaha! I had always thought that you were pretty impressive. It turns out that you are just an ordinary hot-blooded young man!"

Amos laughed wryly. He used to think that he was invincible too. He had gone through so much and he thought that he feared nothing in this world.

However, he realized that he was just like everyone else ever since he met Eudora.

Fear and worry would still haunt him. He no longer dared to do the bold things that he used to do in the past.

He knew that he needed to take good care of himself because of the beloved who was waiting for him at home. Only by doing that would his beloved be free of such worry.

Doctor Leon finally stopped laughing and offered some advice,

"It's been more than four months, isn't it? It will be fine! Just be careful."

Amos was about to hang up the phone when Doctor Leon added all of a sudden, "Actually, you could've just checked this online!" He never would have thought that Amos would have such an adorable side to him. He did not expect that he would call him in the middle of the night to ask such a question.

Amos responded coolly, "The information on the Internet might not be credible."

Tsk!

Doctor Leon was convinced. It seemed that his theory was right after all. The men of the Granger family were all hopeless romantics.

Amos immediately threw his phone aside and went back to his room.

He saw Eudora coming out from the room, barefooted. Her face was stained with her tears, and she looked distressed.

Amos walked up to her and embraced her without a word.

Eudora froze. "Let me go."

Amos ignored her and carried her back to the room and slammed the door shut.

Eudora's heart was in turmoil after Amos left. She wondered if she should change rooms for his sake.

However, Amos had already brought her on the large bed before she could even think about anything else. Eudora tried to push him away, but he held her hands down firmly.

"I want it."

Eudora was stunned. "Weren't you ... "With a serious look on his face, he answered, "I had already asked Doctor Leon about it. Since it's been more than four months, it's fine as long as we are careful! Please?"

Eudora was stupefied. She thought that he had run away because he despised her. She was feeling a little depressed just moments ago. To her surprise, he had gone to call Doctor Leon to ask such an embarrassing question.

Eudora covered her face and asked, "Oh my God, how could you ask Doctor Leon such a thing?"

Amos stared at her face, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly. His voice was hoarse

"I wasn't sure, so..."

He was the President of a listed company and he had been through a lot of hardships in his life. However, at this moment, he chose to be vulnerable because of her.

The Amos in front of her at this moment seemed like a young boy. Eudora was embarrassed, but she was moved.

The knot in her heart seemed to have untangled itself at this moment. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips against his.

The abrupt invitation made Amos tense up. He held her in his arms, deliberately avoiding her belly.

Passion soon filled the room. From time to time, she could hear his raspy voice, saying, "Mind your belly. Don't move. Let me do it ..."

Amos' soft voice warmed the air. The night felt peaceful and sweet.
