My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 585

The child's sweet body scent permeated her nose...

For the first time, Eudora slept soundly. By the time she woke up, the sky outside was already bright. Sugar Bun had already woken up and was lying next to her, giggling.

Juju sat there playing toys with him. Both children were very sensible and didn't wake Eudora up.

Eudora went to wash up but didn't expect her legs to go numb the moment she stood up. During the night, she had been worried about crushing Sugar Bun, so she didn't dare to stretch out her legs. She didn't expect her legs to be so numb after being curling them up for the whole night.

She mustered the strength to wash up, change clothes, and go downstairs. Then, she heard Tyler saying...

"I heard there will be a bonfire party in the afternoon. Do you know about it, Eudora?"

Eudora nodded. "Yeah!"

Juju rolled her eyes and said, "Mommy, I want to go too."

"Let's all go together!" Tyler replied with a smile. "It should be fine as that place is quite safe."

In fact, Tyler also said this for Eudora's peace of mind. She had been extra cautious towards others and certainly wouldn't participate if her children didn't go.

After a simple breakfast, Eudora went to the garden for a walk. When she arrived at the garden, she heard the conversation between Fabian and the resort staff. "There was a gentleman who came to look for her in the morning. We didn't let him in, so he left!"

Fabian was stunned and asked, "What is his name?"

"Seems to be a Mr. Granger, and he asked about Miss George's condition."

Eudora was stunned, and Sugar Bun who was next to her suddenly let out a cry. Fabian heard the child and turned around.

"Good morning, Eudora."

Eudora smiled awkwardly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to pass by and wanted to ask if you're feeling better."

After all, Fabian had been unwell because of Juju. As the mother, Eudora had to be responsible for it.

"I'm fine now. But I heard that Mr. Granger came looking for you. What's going on?"

Eudora smiled weakly. "Since he didn't mention anything, perhaps he was here to see Juju and Sugar Bun!"

Fabian also nodded, and then said to the staff, "It's all right, get back to your work. If Mr. Granger comes later, you can take him to see the children."

Eudora frowned, feeling that Fabian's words seemed to carry a double meaning.

After the staff left, Eudora also came up with an excuse to leave with Juju.

Juju followed Eudora disappointedly, and couldn't help but mutter, "Silly Daddy!"

"Huh?" Eudora looked at Juju suspiciously. "What did you say?"

Juju shook her head frantically. "Nothing. I'm just starting to miss Daddy a little. Mommy, do you miss him?"

Eudora was mildly startled and didn't answer.

At that point, she felt that 'missing' him was way out of her league.

The bonfire party was usually held close to the resort for safety reasons. Therefore, everyone headed there after finishing lunch.

It was tricky to drive along the hilly road, so Eudora carried Sugar Bun while Juju walked alone as she was old enough.

It was already dark by the time they arrived at the bonfire party. Some staff had already lit up all the bonfires, and the scene was quite amazing.

Eudora found a safe location for the children to watch the bonfire. There were recliners and baby strollers prepared for guests to use.

The two children, Sugar Bun and Juju, quickly warmed up with the staff members working on the bonfires.

The participants at the bonfire party were not limited to resort patrons, but also other outside guests. Indeed, the more the merrier!

As the sky gradually darkened, the bonfire dance began, and the scene became very lively.

Fabian walked over and held his hand out to Eudora with a smile. "Miss Eudora, may I have this dance?"

Eudora paused as she was rather startled by his sudden ask, "I don't know how to dance..."

"It doesn't matter. You can just go with the flow!"

The people next to him also followed and chanted, "Yes! Go and dance!"

Eudora was at a loss of what to do, so she had no choice but to stand up and follow Fabian. Juju held Sugar Bun and looked at Eudora's figure walking away. "Sugar Bun, what should we do? Daddy hasn't come yet, and Mommy is about to be snatched away by someone else!"

Sugar Bun did not pay any attention to Juju. Instead, he pointed at a certain place and giggled.

Following his gaze, Juju's eyes lit up. "Daddy!" That's right. In the shadows not far away, Amos was standing there, looking at Juju. Doctor Leon's reasoning may be right, but Amos was still worried, so he stayed behind.

When Amos saw Eudora go to the dance floor with Fabian, he suddenly felt that his presence was rather ridiculous.

Just as he was thinking about it, Juju walked over while carrying Sugar Bun.

"Daddy, I'm sorry," Juju apologized for tricking Amos the night before.

Amos shook his head at the little girl, "It's alright, but don't do it again next time!"

Juju nodded and grabbed Amos' hand.

"Daddy, you still care about Mommy, don't you? Can you make up with each other? Sugar Bun and I don't want you to get divorced!"

This was the first time that Juju expressed her thoughts to him after Eudora left. He always thought that he could play the role of both father and mother if he put in enough effort.

But it seemed that he was wrong.

"You went to be with Mommy on purpose, didn't you?" Amos asked.

Juju nodded. "I'm just hoping that you and Mommy can be together again."

Amos fell silent, and suddenly a loud cheer burst out from the crowd. They looked at the source of the cheering and saw that Fabian suddenly knelt down in front of Eudora, holding a ring box in his hand. "Will you marry me?"

Amos was taken aback and swallowed back all the words he had almost uttered.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid it won't work! Juju and Sugar Bun, are you coming back with me?"

Juju lowered her head in disappointment. "Daddy, why didn't you persuade Mommy to stay?"

Amos smiled bitterly and said, "I did!"

It wasn't just once, but many times. He even sacrificed his dignity, but in the end, he could not hold on to her.

"Then you should try your best to keep her..." He had already tried his best!

Amos didn't know what to reply. For a moment, he felt like he was choking...

"Do you want to go back with me?" Amos asked again.

Juju nodded, but soon shook her head. "No, I don't want to go back."

Amos did not speak again. He took one last look at the direction of the fireworks. The woman he loved the most was like a brilliant firework at this moment, standing so brightly in the crowd. But he was not the man standing beside her, he could only look at her from a distance.

It was the first time that Amos felt so insignificant.

He had never felt like this. Yet, when it came to Eudora, he would always be insignificant.
