My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 680

The blinds outside had not been drawn. Eudora saw the jealous looks outside when Amos retreated from her lips.

She glanced at him in silence.

Amos whispered in her ear, "There are some things that one should not hope for, so we have to kill off any sliver of hope from the beginning!"

Eudora couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. He even came up with a philosophy to reject the fangirls.

However, she suddenly felt that the cake wasn't as sweet anymore.

Eudora then finished the cake quickly.

She thought Amos must be very busy, so she urged him after she was done eating, "I'm fine now. Don't you have work to do too? You should head back soon!" However, Amos shook his head. "I'm not busy! What's the matter? Did you run into trouble?"

"Kind of!" Eudora nodded and told him about her plans. After that, she sighed, "Even though it was my idea, it's still a little hard to carry it out in detail..." Amos had reached out and pulled her into his arms before she could even finish her words.

Eudora was startled. "What's wrong? What happened?"

"I am a little happy!" Amos's voice was low and hoarse. "You've decided to tell me such an important thing!"

Eudora's chest tightened. She felt guilty for not trusting in him before.

She did not expect that he would be so overjoyed knowing that she trusted him a little,

"Silly!" Eudora remarked in a low voice.

Amos still had a small smile on his face. He held her finger and kissed her on the lips.

"Allow let this fool to discuss the details of your plan with you!"

An hour later, Eudora looked at Amos, dumbfounded. She had such a difficult task in her hand, but everything seemed clear as day under Amos' guidance.

She knew that Amos was smart, but his meticulousness and wit were too superior. It seemed that she was the silly one among them two.

Eudora sighed, "Forget it, I'd be better off as the silly one, right?"

Amos shook his head. "No, I want to be your silly one! Yours and yours alone!"

There was trouble in the Holt Family the next day.

First, it was the real estate department. They had to pull out from the project with TEM Company before they even had a chance to succeed.

Eudora took the initiative to address the issue in front of the media, saying that the Holt Family would withdraw from the real estate industry temporarily.

The next were the milkshake shops opened jointly by the Holt Family and the Nolan family. As they were known as allies of the Nolan family, the shops were closed down after the Nolan family crumbled. Eudora tried to use some of her power to turn the tide. However, she wasn't able to hold on for long. They still had to shut down after continuing business for almost half a month.

After the two most powerful industries of the Holt Family closed down, the rest of the small businesses soon shut down as well.

A month later, the Holt Family's glory in Greene City, which had lasted for several decades, had finally fallen to its lowest point.

Eudora arranged a press conference and announced that the Holt Family would have to pay all of the workers' wages and expenditures, and that they would shut down all of the Holt Family's businesses. Many had already predicted the imminent announcement after the declining progress of the Holt Family's businesses for the past month.

Even so, the news still occupied all of the media's pages. Nevertheless, the public attention gradually faded away after being viral for about a week.

When all of this was over, Eudora ran her fingers over all the floors of the Holt building from top to bottom.

She couldn't imagine what kind of dream Tyler had in his mind when he built this place.

However, he would definitely be sad if he was still here, wouldn't he?

Eudora felt sad at the thought of the place being sold away soon.

"I'm sorry, Dad. Although this isn't the result that I wanted to see, it still had to come to this in the end. However, since we've already reached this point. If we don't sell this place, it would be hard to avoid the attention of others. I only hope that if there's still a chance in the future, the Holt Family will no longer need to worry about anything. When that time comes, I'll be able to buy this building back. When that time comes, I'll come back and apologize to you!"

After that, Eudora took a deep breath and turned around resolutely to make her way downstairs.

The sky outside was already dark. The building was already vacant that day, so there was no light coming out of the offices, only the light from the guardhouse shone brightly.

Eudora was walking past the door quickly when she heard someone shouting from the guardhouse.

"Miss George, someone is waiting for you outside!"

Eudora looked in the direction of the voice and saw the only light in the room. Amos stood there, tall and slender. The lights fell from his head, like an angel with a halo.

He strode over when he saw her and put on the cotton jacket in his hand over her shoulders.

"It's a little chilly, isn't it? You're wearing way too little!"

Eudora smiled, "It's fine." As long as she saw him, no matter how cold it was, her heart would always feel warm.

Amos smiled and said, "Let's go. I'll treat you to something delicious!"

"What are we having?"

"You'll know when we get there!" he replied with a mysterious smile.

Eudora realized that it was a soup restaurant when they arrived.

"You used to like their soups a lot, didn't you? That time, you didn't get to have the beef stew that you liked! So, I brought you here today. The weather's getting cold, so it's perfect to have something warm." It must have been a long time ago, right?

Eudora always felt that Amos's memory was getting better and better. She couldn't remember many things, but he still remembered them clearly.

As expected, Amos kept his promise and ordered a bowl of beef stew for her. Eudora's lips were slightly red and swollen at the end as the stew was piping hot.

Amos had quite a lot of stew too, but it seemed to not affect him at all.

He still maintained a certain elegance while he was eating comfort food like stews. Life was truly unfair.

When she was half-full, Amos waved to the waiter and said, "Bring me a bottle of wine!" Eudora paused. "You never liked it whenever I had alcohol, no?" She knew perfectly well that her alcohol tolerance wasn't very good.

Amos shook his head and replied, "It's fine! I'm here. No matter what you do, I'll be here to clean up after you."

Eudora smiled. "I'm not going to hold back then!"

She began to feel a little tipsy after drinking three glasses of wine. She started pestering Amos, addressing him with all kinds of nicknames. She was smiling very happily.

However, Amos' smile slowly disappeared.

Others may think that she had recovered very well. Even after experiencing so many things, she recovered in an instant and began to take charge of the company's affairs. Only he knew that, in fact, she was very scared.

However, she was afraid that he would find out about it, so she kept it in her heart.

Amos looked at the woman's smiling face and reached out his hand to push her long hair behind her ear. "Eudora, if you feel like crying, then just cry!"

Eudora's entire body shook, and she looked up at Amos.
