Eudora asked Cindy to accompany her in paying a visit to Eddison.
Cindy had not lied to her. Eddison had indeed eaten the food, but he was still morose and rebelling against Amos.
Eudora stood outside the room and turned to look at Cindy.
"I want to speak to him privately."
Cindy made an excuse and went out. After that, Eudora sat down and leaned against the wall.
"Eddison, if you really want to leave, I'll let you go!"
It was still silent inside, but after three seconds, footsteps slowly approached the door.
Eudora knew that he had come near the door.
She pursed her lips together and continued to speak.
"I never lie. It's just that you have to tell me the reason you refuse to marry Miss Gellert. Is it really because you can't accept a forced marriage? Is there another reason?"
In fact, Clint's words were right.
Rachel and Eddison would make a good match.
He had been impatient since he was a child whereas Rachel was a rather level-headed person. The two of them would complement each other very well.
Eudora absolutely believed in Amos's judgment on that.
She hoped that Eddison could fall in love with Rachel and get together with her.
However, she was not willing to force him into living a life that he disliked because of her.
The footsteps inside gradually stopped at the door, and Eudora heard Eddison's words.
"Will you tell Dad?"
Eudora was taken aback. Then, she replied, "Of course not, this is a secret between us."
Only then did he say, "Mom, I have someone in my heart already."
It came as no surprise.
Eudora should've thought of that a long time ago. If it wasn't because of another girl, he would not be so resistant to Amos' arrangement.
"Who is she?"
Eudora was quite collected. After all, she knew that her children would eventually grow up.
"I'm not too sure about her background. She's a senior of mine in school. She's quite gentle, and she has also been very nice to me!"
Eudora nodded as she replied, "Okay, I get it."
After that, she stood up.
Eddison heard the sound of her getting up, so he asked again.
"Mom, can you persuade Dad?"
Eudora laughed. "Of course I can! Have you forgotten that he never goes against my will as long as I insist?" she said confidently.
Eddison agreed to that.
Soon, he felt at ease.
When Amos returned home at night, there was silence in the house.
The lamp outside the door emitted a warm light. Eudora was sitting in front of the dining table, waiting quietly for him.
Amos knew that she would definitely continue to talk about Eddison's matter. He simply loosened his tie and entered the house.
He seemed to make small talk by saying, "Why is it so quiet in the house?"
Eudora said, 'Tve asked them to rest early today. Come over and have your dinner. These are your favorite dishes."
Amos looked over to the dining table. Undeniably, they were all his favourite food.
"Did you cook them yourself?"
He thought that she would be exasperated about what happened in the daytime.
Eudora nodded before replying, "Have a try! I haven't cooked for a long time. I don't know if they'll taste the same."
Amos took a bite of one of the dishes.
"It's even tastier than before!"
Eudora smiled and said, "You don't say! Sugar Bun also likes this dish the most. You two really have the same taste."
Amos pursed his lips and said, "I talked to Mr. Gellert in the afternoon. There are still a lot of preparations for the wedding. I will be a little busy recently."
Eudora took a deep breath.
