My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 567

Then, Hodge paused for a moment.

Eudora held her breath and asked instinctively, "What happened after that?"

"After that..." Hodge sighed heavily. "After that, Mr. Holt took three bullets from the boss. His life was on the line. In the end, it was Mr. Nolan who saved Mr. Holt. He received treatment for half a year before he could be considered healed."

Unfortunately, not long after Mr. Holt's disappearance, Madam Emily found out that she was pregnant. So, she accepted her family's arrangement to be with another man..."

Eudora frowned. "Another man? Was that..."

Hodge nodded and said affirmatively, "That's right. It was precisely the man on your mind."

Eudora gawked at Hodge in utter shock. She felt as though her mind was overloaded and she couldn't process the information quickly enough.

"You're lying to me!" Eudora said in disbelief.

Hodge smiled calmly and responded, "Miss Eudora, you entered that small house the other day, didn't you? That must mean that you have seen everything that Mr. Holt prepared for Madam Emily. He actually had the opportunity to take her away after that, but his boss was still searching for him since he had escaped death. He did not want Madam Emily to be in danger, so he gave up in the end.

Mr. Holt still regretted it to this day, even after Madam Emily had passed away. In all his life, I could tell that the most regretful thing he ever did was not taking Madam Emily away at the right time.

In fact, he had asked me many times whether it would be better for Madam Emily to be with Gordon. Then, it turned out that he was wrong about everything. That was why, from then on, he became very aggressive and stubborn.

Underneath it all, it is only because he is afraid of losing his loved ones!"

Listening to Hodge, Eudora's heart was a little unsettled. She had hated Tyler all this time, but after learning the past that he had gone through, she felt that Tyler was a little pitiful.

He couldn't be with his beloved one, just like how she and Amos couldn't stay with each other. However, on second thought, she uttered, "Is he separating me from Amos because he could not be with my mother?"

Hodge suddenly choked at this statement. He said helplessly, "Miss Eudora, in fact..."

"I don't want to hear it!" After that, she turned around and went out.

Hodge wanted to catch up, but after just two steps, he staggered again. In the end, he dared not go up to her.

Eudora took a stroll in the front yard and arrived at the backyard unknowingly. The door of the small house was not locked, and it was slightly ajar.

Eudora stood outside. Through the crack of the door, she could see Tyler sitting on the couch in the living room. He was looking at a portrait in front of him.

Eudora did not see the portrait when she entered the room that day. Now, it seemed that the portrait was probably a projection.

The portrait was of a young Emily.

Tyler's eyes were fixed on her as though he was looking at a rare treasure.

"Emily, did I make the wrong decision?" He asked from time to time.

The woman in the portrait had a gentle smile on her face. However, she would never be able to answer any questions he asked.

A moment later, Eudora heard Tyler sobbing alone in the room.

Such a high and mighty man was crying like a child.

Eudora was stunned for a moment. She then turned around and returned to the front yard.

It was not until lunchtime that Tyler finally came out of the backyard. As he walked past the living room and was just about to head upstairs, he saw Eudora carrying the dishes out of the kitchen. There was a smile on Hodge's face as he said, "Mr. Holt, Miss Eudora has personally cooked this today. Why don't you give them a taste?"

Tyler glanced at Eudora subconsciously, and he realized that she was just as indifferent as she was before. However, he also felt that there was something different about her.

Eudora took the initiative to speak while Tyler was still in a daze.

"Since we are destined to be a family, I think that we should respect each other. What do you think?"

Tyler did not say a word, but he was very vigilant.

"What are you trying to say? I won't allow you to be with Amos anyway!" He would never compromise!

Eudora smiled wryly. "We're talking about our family affairs now. You are straying from the topic again." Tyler smiled slightly. "Family affairs?"

"Eudora, you..."

Eudora cut him off, "There is no need for mushy words. I won't interfere with the things of the past between you and my mother. However, for the time being, I can't accept the fact that you are my father."

"It does not matter, I can wait!"

As long as she was willing to consider their relationship, he would wait for her to come around.

"That's all I have to say," Eudora nodded and continued, "I will respect your privacy, and I hope you would respect mine. Tina is your adopted daughter, and she will be my sister in the future. In this family, it is bad enough for me to be separated from my friends. I hope that you won't do that to her."

After that, Eudora pointed to the food in front of her. "You should give them a try."

This was the first time for Tyler and Eudora to officially have a meal together. Moreover, they were in a good mood, and they were not arguing nor glaring at each other.

Tyler still wanted to say something, but he was afraid of ruining such a beautiful moment. Therefore, he could only grunt.

He thought perhaps he should put this matter aside for the time being. After all, they still had a long way ahead of them. There was no rush to speak about it immediately.

Since Eudora had taken the initiative to seek peace, the Holt residence, which had been in a state of hell for the past several days, finally saw normalcy again. The servants who could only show bitter faces also smiled once more.

Their respect for Eudora grew even more because of this matter. Whenever Eudora was home, the servants would address her as Miss Eudora as a show of respect.

It had been three days since Tina returned from the Holt residence. Anxious about Eudora's wellbeing, she phoned Eudora secretly while Christopher was out that night. "Are you doing alright at home? Have you and Dad reconciled?"

"We did," Eudora answered indifferently.

"Really?" Tina was very curious to know what had happened, but upon second thought, she felt relieved. "Eudora, you always have the perfect solution! I could rest assured then."

Eudora smiled and said, "I also told Dad to not trouble you in the future. If Christopher ever bullies you, we will protect you. You could come back at any time. There is no need to hide anymore."

Tina was very touched. She now understood why she had felt an inexplicable closeness to Eudora when they first met. It seemed that the two of them were fated to meet each other.

She was an orphan, and she came into the Holt Family because of Tyler's favor. God was even kind enough to bless her with such a good sister.

Tina was truly elated.

"Thank you, Eudora!"

"Alright. It's getting late, you should get some rest. Otherwise, Christopher might blame me..."

Tina nodded. She then hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you miss Juju?"

Eudora's fingers tightened slightly around the phone. "Why did you mention Juju all of a sudden? Did something happen to her?"

"No, no!" Tina explained hurriedly, "Nothing bad happened to her, just the good ones. Amos is recovering well, so Juju and Sugar Bun might probably be sent over here for a while..." Juju? Sugar Bun? These two names were like magic curses as they instantly stirred in Eudora's heart.
