My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 564

"Since you've said so, let's just settle this matter right here, right now. There will be a lucky day next week, so let's just set it on that day. I will go back and let Fabian know about it. We shall contact you later!" Malcom then stood up from his seat.

After taking two steps, Tyler quickly pointed at Malcom's milkshake and said, "Didn't you say that you are still young? Why aren't you drinking your milkshake? Or were you lying about you being a young man?' Malcom licked his tongue subconsciously. The sweet taste of the milkshake was really not to his liking.

However, he did not want to show any sort of weakness in front of Tyler. So, he looked back with a smile. "Why would I lie to you? Of course I like it. I just forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me about it, Tyler!" Meanwhile, Tyler slowly took a sip of his milkshake. He smiled and remained quiet.

Once Malcom left, Tyler stuck his tongue out and swallowed the milkshake in his mouth with difficulty. He muttered in a low voice, "God, what is this? It's too sweet!"

He shook his head in disappointment when he saw the youngsters next to him enjoying their drinks happily. As expected, he was getting old!

Tyler did not tell Eudora about the marriage he had planned for her. Instead, he went out of the shop and asked Leslie to get Eudora to come out.

Only then he told Eudora about the matter.

"That man from earlier was Uncle Nolan, Fabian's father. He likes you very much, you should be able to tell that."

Eudora pursed her lips and did not say anything, but Tyler continued rambling.

"We have already discussed and scheduled the day of your engagement with Fabian. No matter what, the two of you should settle your marriage first..." "I absolutely refuse!" Eudora uttered in a low voice.

Her voice was not loud, and her objection was not emphasized. However, the firmness in her tone indicated that nothing could change her mind.

Tyler knew that she would not agree to it, hence he only nodded calmly.

"Uncle Nolan and I have already set the date next week. So, you still have a week to get along with Fabian. I believe that you will change your mind by then."

After that, Tyler told Winson to get the car and added, "I'm heading home first. You should come home earlier."

As soon as Eudora entered the house later that night, she realized that Tina was home. At this moment, Tina was discussing matters with Tyler on the sofa. From the looks of it, they were not getting along harmoniously.

When Tina spotted Eudora, she called for her as though she had seen her savior.

"Eudora!"

Eudora was startled and she questioned, "Tina? Why are you here?"

Tina glanced back at Tyler inadvertently, and Eudora understood right away. Only Tyler could force others to do things against their will.

At this moment, Tyler had already spoken.

"You two seem close. I am glad to see that. You must have not seen each other for a long time, so go ahead and catch up with each other. But remember to come down and have dinner with me later." Tina had always been afraid of Tyler ever since she was a child. It might not have been that serious in the past, but she had become even more terrified of him ever since Tyler forced her to part with Christopher.

Tina had no idea how she had managed to face Tyler alone all this time before Eudora's return. There were many times where she felt as though she was suffocating to death.

So, now that she could leave, she followed Eudora upstairs hurriedly without another word.

Tina spoke in surprise once they arrived at Eudora's bedroom.

"Eudora, Dad is really nice to you!" When she noticed that Eudora was staring at her, Tina smiled again and explained, "Did you know that I thought about staying in this room when I was young and immature? Back then, Dad treats me very well, because he would think of me as you, his biological daughter. He would always give me everything that I wanted, so I became a little conspicuous. I really thought that I could do anything I wanted. At first, Dad didn't care about what I do, but he got really furious when I started throwing tantrums.

I remember very clearly that it was the first time he spoke so harshly to me. He said that I was not qualified to stay in this room..."

Tina's words gave Eudora mixed feelings.

She did not know what to say because it may seem to others that Tyler was doting on her. However, to her, he was simply caging her up.

"If you like it, I could tell Dad to let you stay in this room," Eudora said.

"No, no!" Tina waved her hands in a hurry and said, "I don't want to move back in anymore. I just hope that Dad could let Christopher and I leave." See? She was right!

Eudora knew that he would always have something up his sleeve. No one else would ever be willing to step into this cage.

Eudora's mouth twitched and she smiled bitterly. "I don't think that you have to worry about anything. He will definitely allow you to leave sooner or later." Tina's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"What's wrong? I thought that you have been with him for such a long time. You should understand him better than I do. You should think about it yourself..."

Tina finally heaved out a sigh of relief. "Since you have already said so, I will believe you then. Actually, I thought the same in the first place, but Dad can be quite unpredictable at times. I really don't know what's on his mind."

Tina felt a little more relaxed after letting go of the troubles in her mind.

She sat down on Eudora's couch to rest. She seemed like a person without worries at all.

Eudora gave an indifferent laugh and said, "What's there to be unsure about? Since he wants you home, he must have given you some tasks. Once you've accomplished your tasks, you can leave. Am I right?" Tina suddenly felt awkward for a moment. "So... you knew?"

Eudora was unsure before, but she became certain when she saw how Tyler had ordered Tina to come upstairs with her so casually.

"Tell me, why did he call you here?"

Was it because he wanted Tina to try to persuade her to agree to the engagement? She would never do that...

Tina shrugged and answered, "Actually, Dad didn't say anything. He just told me that you are not in a good mood, so he asked me to cheer you up and talk to you."

"That's it?" Eudora was somewhat confused.

"That's it!" Tina replied. "Honestly, Eudora, I still think that the reason behind you and President Granger's separation is different from what you told us. I could tell from the look in your eyes that you are still in love with President Granger..."

There were only two of them in the room, so Eudora was not in a rush to answer.

She did not say yes, nor did she deny it.

Tina did not ask any more questions upon Eudora's silence. Instead, she said, "Since Dad had asked me here to cheer you up, why don't we head downstairs? I will show you the things that I played with when I was younger!"

Eudora was not in the mood. "I still have some matters to take care of..."

Tina nodded. "Okay, then. Go and do what you must."

Eudora never knew that Tina was so persuasive. No wonder Christopher, who was so stubborn back then, could still be subdued by Tina.

Perhaps it was because she was excellent at convincing others! It was only after a while that Eudora could not stand it anymore, so she went downstairs with Tina.

Tina had stayed in the Holt Family's backyard area back then. The backyard also had a garden, but it was not the one with roses. There were some other flowers planted in the garden, and this was the perfect season for the flowers to bloom.

Tina brought Eudora to see the swing that she used to play when she was a child, as well as all sorts of other fun things.

In the end, Eudora saw an isolated small house. Her interest was piqued and she asked, "What is that place?"
