My Second Husband novel Chapter 1139

In fact, Amos had already made up his mind. He would go to the Gellert family together with Eddison after he released him from being grounded to elucidate the matter of their marriage.

Unexpectedly, Jarred had come first.

He was rather courteous in the face of Jarred's attitude. After all, the Granger family was in the wrong for reneging on the agreement.

"Mr. Gellert, it's indeed our fault that we failed to keep our end of the agreement, but we will bear the full responsibility for this matter."

Jarred's voice trembled with outrage as he said, "Take responsibility?"

"I really didn't expect your son to swindle my daughter!"

Amos was perplexed, so he asked, "Mr. Gellert, we won't shirk any responsibility in this matter. Nevertheless, it doesn't mean that you can simply slander us!"

"Eddison has duped Jillian into giving him hundreds of thousands of dollars. Well, such an amount of money is actually not a big deal for families like ours. However, now that Eddison has gotten the money, he dares to refuse this marriage?!"

Eudora was also bemused by his accusation.

"Is there a misunderstanding?"

To her, Eddison was not the kind of person who would defraud other people of money.

"I have the transaction records. If you really think this is a misunderstanding, to call you naive would be a big understatement!"

As he was speaking, he showed the evidence. Eudora took it over and looked at it. It was as clear as day that Rachel had transferred the money to Eddison.

"I'll ask Eddison about this!"

At the same time, Eddison was having a wonderful time, talking to Sierra on the phone in the balcony.

Sierra's 'I like you the most!' had supported him mentally for the past few days, making him have the bravery to hold out against Amos' orders.

What was more, he had received a call from her on the first day he was released. He thought it was an auspicious start for their relationship.

He couldn't wait to share his excitement with her, "Sierra, I-''

However, she had something to tell him too.

"Eddison, have you come back to school? I have good news for you!"

"I also have good news for you. You go first!”

She dropped a bombshell by saying, "I'm dating someone! He confessed his love to me in front of all the girls in the school yesterday, and I have agreed to be with him!"

Upon hearing that, Eddison grasped his phone tightly in despondency.

In choked desolation, he stood still on the balcony. At that moment, his heart was laden with nothing but sadness.

Sierra, who was at the other end of the line, kept shouting, "Eddison, did you hear me?"

He finally came to his senses, and he pursed his lips before replying to her.

"Didn't you say that you like me the most?"

Sierra was stunned for a moment. Then, she replied, "Yes, of course I like you! I don't have any brothers of my own. So, I've always doted on you like a little brother!"

A little brother?

It turned out that she only regarded him as her brother.

He suddenly understood Benedict's feelings back then.

He wanted to ask if she really liked her boyfriend or if there was another reason for her to agree to be with him.

However, she had already told him the reason before he could ask so.

She said that she had never met someone who treated her so well, and she felt overjoyed upon meeting him.

Eddison realized that Sierra was resolved in her decision. Therefore, he spoke no more.

To argue or to push on further would only humiliate him more.

"Sierra, be happy!"

"Thank you. He's the most mature and dependable man I have ever seen. I will be happy with him. By the way, what about you? When do you plan on getting a girlfriend yourself?"

Eddison replied dejectedly, "I don't know either. Maybe I won't do so throughout my life."

"Cheer up! You are so charming and urbane, I bet you'll meet your Mrs. Right one day. I believe in you!"
