My Second Husband novel Chapter 179

As soon as he heard the word "granddaughter", Old Master Granger shot up from his wheelchair with a loud thud. He looked at Amos with a fresh, excited look in his eyes as if he had suddenly regained all his spirit.

"Are you planning to get married?"

Of course, Amos was planning to get married. The moment he laid his eyes on Eudora, he wanted to marry her there and then.

However, that woman was still very cautious around him and it would be unwise of him if he acted too aggressively.

"I am planning to!" Amos said.

"To Wendy?" the Old Master asked.

Amos looked at the Old Master suspiciously. "Didn't you use to hate her before? What made you change your mind so drastically?"

The Old Master choked and said exasperatedly, "Are you the only one who would change over the years? Wendy has been visiting me quite often recently, and I realized that I may have been wrong about her before. Is this reason good enough for you?"

Amos snorted, "I'm afraid you are still wrong."

"What?" The Old Master didn't understand his words, so he asked again in confusion.

"Nothing!" Amos answered dismissively. There were a lot of things that he still had his doubts on, and moreover, he did not have any definite evidence just yet. It would be better for him not to say anything for the time being.

"Then what are you thinking? Don't make me wait for another five years. This father of yours is getting old and I can't wait any longer!"

When the Old Master finished his last sentence, there was a trace of exhaustion in his aged voice.

Amos' heart skipped a beat. He blurted out, "One year, give me another year. Within a year, I'll either get you a granddaughter, or I'll promise you that I will marry someone."

One year...

Old Master Granger pondered about it for a while and finally nodded. "Fine, I'll give you one year."

After the meal, the Old Master and his caretaker left together, leaving Wendy behind so that Amos could send her home.

Old Master Granger had planned this beforehand in his mind. No matter what, it would not hurt for both of them to cultivate their feelings first.

However, the moment when they went out the door, Amos immediately asked the driver to send Wendy home. Wendy hurriedly stopped him, "Let's get into the car together. We'll go back together."

"It's alright. I still have some matters to attend to. You can go ahead!"

After Wendy left, he made a phone call to Eudora.

At this moment, Eudora had just returned from Clearwater Bay. She felt much more relaxed knowing that Amos was not at home. However, Juju seemed to be a little unhappy.

When she got home, she kept badgering her, "Mommy, where did uncle go?"

Eudora had no choice but to say, "He went to work!"

"Then he must be tired after working so late. Why don't we send him something?"

"No, I don't think so. There are a lot of people taking care of him!" Eudora said.

"That's not the same. There might be a lot of people around him, but they are not me!"

This cheeky girl made Eudora speechless. In the end, she had to change the topic, "You have school tomorrow, it's best if you go to bed now! Otherwise, your teacher will not give you five stars as a reward!"

This phrase succeeded in convincing Juju, and Eudora could finally catch a breath.

When she was about to take a shower, her cell phone suddenly rang. Thinking that it was Christopher, Eudora called Juju to pick up the phone. "It should be Uncle Gellert, please answer it for me."

Juju's sweet voice chirped as she answered the call. The next second, she suddenly got out of bed and handed the phone to Eudora. "Mommy, Uncle said that he can't move. He needs our help."

Eudora was stunned and quickly took over the phone. "Christopher, what's wrong with you? Where are you? We'll be there right away." After a while, the man on the other end said slowly. "It's Amos. I'm just around the corner near your hotel."

Eudora was speechless.

Amos? Why did he call her? Why was he asking for her help? What was going on?

While she was in her thoughts, Juju was already shouting anxiously, "Mommy, what did uncle say? How is he doing now?"
