My Second Husband novel Chapter 176

Amos calmly went over to his seat, so Eudora had no choice but to sit down as well.

They were the guests visiting someone else's home, so it would be rude of her if she was picky.

There were only three of them, but they prepared eight dishes. The food was obviously a little too much.

Eudora ate silently. Suddenly, Juju asked, "Uncle, why are you only eating that?"

Eudora looked up and saw that the plate of brussels sprouts in front of Amos. Half of the plate was gone because Amos kept eating that dish.

While thinking about it, Juju said again, "Uncle, since you like it so much, it must be very delicious."

After that, she picked up one piece and put it in her mouth.

The next second, the little girl scrunched up her face. "It's so bitter!"

Eudora hurriedly handed her a glass of juice, "Here, drink this."

After taking a few sips, Juju finally swallowed the piece of brussels sprouts and looked at Amos with some confusion.

"Uncle, don't you think that it's a little too bitter?" Amos shook his head. "No, I think it's very sweet!" Eudora frowned and wondered if she had mistaken the sugar for salt when she prepared the dish.

She hurriedly reached out and tried a piece herself. "Well... it's bitter."

How could he say that it was sweet?

She suddenly remembered what Auntie Valerie had said just now. Eudora pursed her lips and stayed silent.

The meal was soon finished. When Eudora was about to excuse herself, Auntie Valerie suddenly came over and said, "It's raining outside. It seems that there is a hailstorm too! Why would there be hailstorm during the summer?"

Eudora hurriedly went out to have a look, and it turned out to be true.

It was raining cats and dogs with occasional pellets falling from the sky. The rain showed no signs of stopping, and the weather was terrible.

Auntie Valerie looked at Eudora and suggested, "Why don't I prepare the guest rooms upstairs? You and Juju can stay here for the night. You can go back when the weather gets better tomorrow."

Eudora was a little reluctant and looked at Juju. She still couldn't bear herself to refuse and leave in this heavy weather.

If they got into an accident on the way home, she might blame herself forever.

She had no choice but to accept the kind offer. "Thank you, Auntie Valerie," said Eudora gratefully.

It was obvious that Auntie Valerie was very pleased with her answer, and she immediately went to tidy up the guest room. Juju was also ecstatic. "Yay! I can play with Cola for a little longer now."

Eudora couldn't do anything about her. When on earth did she start to like dogs this much?

After a while, Auntie Valerie returned downstairs. "Miss George, everything is ready. Are you going up to rest now?"

When Eudora checked the time, it was almost ten o'clock. She remembered that Juju still had school tomorrow, so she nodded and went upstairs with Juju.

Juju reluctantly said goodbye to Cola and turned to look at Amos. He had been sitting there the whole time, not moving an inch.

The next second, she waved to Amos enthusiastically. "Good night, uncle."

Amos was stunned. The sight of the little girl's angelic smile warmed his heart. "Good night." he smiled.

After Eudora and Juju went upstairs, Auntie Valerie also retired for the day. Since there was a hailstorm, she couldn't leave as well, so she stayed in the servant room downstairs.

On the other hand, Amos retreated into the study. It was already late at night when he returned to his room. When he looked at the door next to his and remembered that Eudora was in it, a faint smile came across his face.

Quietly, he rested his fingers on the door handle and pushed the door open. Then, Amos slowly went in. On the large bed, both mother and daughter were sleeping soundly.

The soft light from the streetlamps outside penetrated through the window, shining softly on the woman's cheek and added a little warmth.

After watching them for a long time, Amos murmured tenderly, "My Eudora, you are finally home. I've been waiting for this moment all this while."

The oblivious woman turned in her sleep, slipping off once again into her dreamland.

Eudora had a dream. In her dream, the weather was beautiful, with the sun shining brightly in the vast, blue sky. She held Juju's hand as they strolled among the wildflowers, walking forward leisurely.
