My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 681

She looked at Amos in a daze and smiled.

"Why should I cry? I won't cry!"

Amos remained silent. He raised his hand and stroked the top of her hair. Eudora, who had been acting tough and pretending that she would never cry, could feel a lump forming in her throat. Tears began to fall from the corner of her eyes.

Eudora reached out and hit Amos in the chest as she started crying.

"You're a bad guy, who told you to touch my hair like that? Did you have to make me cry so that you'd feel at ease?"

His soft and gentle movement touched her heart deeply.

Amos was not annoyed by her unreasonable words. Instead, he agreed, "It's all my fault. You're right. I'm the one who made you cry!"

When adults cry, they would always find an excuse for behaving in such a way. Otherwise, they would have no other reason to convince themselves that they were strong.

Eudora could no longer keep up the pretense as tears fell from her eyes.

She poured out all the things that she had been holding back for a while.

As Amos had expected, it was all because of the Holt Family's matters. Her heart was filled with frustration.

When she was done, she held Amos' hand and said, "I'm sorry, Amos."

Amos was confused. "Why are you

apologizing to me all of a sudden?"

"I'm really sorry. You're the one that I've hurt most in this world, and I've made you suffer so much. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

Amos looked at Eudora, who had tearstains all over her face. He wiped away the teardrops at the corner of her eyes.

"You don't have to apologize to me, because everything you have done for me, be it good or bad, be it joy or pain, all of those were for my sake, weren't they?"

In this world, there were not many people like him who could have such a woman whom he devoted his heart and soul to. Therefore, he was so blessed! Eudora was already drunk. She fell asleep on the table not long after.

Only then did Amos slowly pour himself a glass of wine and propose a fake toast to the woman lying on the table.

"My Eudora, I love you."

Eudora had a terrible hangover when she woke up the next day. She had drunk too much and she felt as though her head was about to burst open.

Eudora lay on the bed and pressed her fingers against her temples, still feeling very queasy. She couldn't remember much from the night before, and she only remembered Amos saying something about 'for his sake'.

She tried to remember everything, but she couldn't.

At this moment, she received a call from Leslie. "Miss Eudora, the procedures for the company's acquisition have been completed. Now, we really have nothing left!" Eudora felt slightly dejected, but she also knew that it was not the time for her to dwell on things.

"It's okay. Out with the old, in with the new. Didn't we agree to start all over again?"

Leslie nodded. "Yes!"

"Let's get ready then. We'll head back to Rosaville City in a few days. I don't know if you'll get used to living in that place. Amos has asked Clint to look for a new house for you over there. He has also decorated the house according to your preferences. By then, you and Uncle Chilton could both move there with your families!"

Leslie fell silent for a few seconds when he heard Amos' name.

"Miss Eudora, about President Granger, I..."

Leslie was guilt-ridden. He was been deceived by Fabian back then and he despised Amos very much. He almost pointed Eudora in the wrong way as well.

This matter had always been a thorn in his heart. Leslie had always thought that he should look for an opportunity to apologize to Amos.

However, he didn't expect that Amos wouldn't even give him a chance to meet him.

Eudora understood his concerns as she replied, "It's all in the past, and Amos is not angry with you. If you are truly apologetic, then you'd better prove it with your actions! Things will get better, I'm sure of it!" "Yes!" Leslie nodded. However, he was still a little unhappy and felt that Amos would hold a grudge against him.

However, there was no other way. He had made a mistake, and he had to accept the consequences.

Eudora took a deep breath after hanging up the phone. No matter what, she promised herself that she would live a good life!

Eudora had planned to make a final trip back to the Holt Manor to pack up some of the things that Tyler had left behind before returning to Rosaville City.

At this moment, Amos came out of the bathroom with a bath towel tied around his waist.

Eudora paused. She had been so engrossed in her own thoughts that she didn't even know that Amos was in the bathroom.

She had not witnessed a handsome man emerging from a shower for a long time. After all, Amos' body had become much weaker ever since he had that accident.

He even claimed that he would exercise well at that time so that he would become as fit as he was before.

Now that Eudora had seen it, she realized that he wasn't lying. Looking at his figure, it really was better than before.

His deep magnetic chuckle could be heard, "What are you looking at, you little minx?"

Eudora came back to her senses and realized that she had been staring at him for a long time.

She was slightly embarrassed, but on second thought, she raised her head again. "It would be a waste if I don't feast my eyes on my own man!"

Amos' heart tightened. He subconsciously took a few steps forward and held Eudora's shoulders with both hands.

"What did you say?"

Eudora didn't realize the implicit meaning in her words at first, but now, she seemed to sense its underlying message. Her cheeks reddened from embarrassment. She was about to feign ignorance when she recalled the decision she had made earlier.

Amos had done so much for her, and she had always benefitted from his actions. Therefore, she had decided to return these favors with her own true love. Eudora stood up and tiptoed to kiss Amos on the lips.

He probably did not expect her to behave like that, and his whole body quivered.

Before he knew it, Eudora had already put her arms around his slender waist.

Although she had been taught for so many years, her kissing skills did not improve. Instead, her skills seemed to have regressed since she had not practiced for months. However, it was her awkward move that made Amos's heart beat faster.

Amos lowered his head and pressed his nose against hers. He asked in a deep voice, "Could we?"

He was very worried that Fabian's death would cast a shadow on Eudora's heart, so he didn't dare to get too close to her.

Unexpectedly, Eudora kissed him eagerly in return. Amos carried her back onto the bed and drew the curtains.

The room was soon filled with passion and ardor.

After that, Eudora started to talk about booking the ticket.

"If everything goes well, we should be able to head back to Rosaville City over the next few days. I'll book the tickets in the afternoon."

Amos shook his head hurriedly. "I suddenly remembered that I still have some matters to deal with here. Why don't you wait for me for three days?"

Eudora missed the two children a little, but it didn't matter if they were leaving later since the children were still on vacation.

"Sure! You've been waiting for me for a long time anyway!"

Amos lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand. "Then... will you reward me with another round?"

Eudora looked at him in disbelief.
