My Second Husband novel Chapter 25

Eudora George was disappointed. She clenched her teeth and covered her wound with her hands. She closed her eyes to calm herself down.

He was no longer her hero. After her mother died, her loving father had also slowly turned into this monster whom she couldn't even recognize anymore.

Eudora took a deep breath and opened her eyes.

"Tell Laura that I will do everything to make Felix sign that divorce agreement."

With that, she turned around and left the house.

Gordon George stepped forward to chase after Eudora but he was pulled back by his other daughter.

"Dad, Eudora is too much. Now that she's Amos Granger's lover, she no longer respects her own husband."

Gordon frowned. "She's nothing but bad luck!"

After leaving her family home, Eudora wandered around aimlessly.

She didn't know how long she had been walking on the streets. Her phone started ringing again, but Eudora didn't have the energy to pick up the call. 'Who else could it be if not her father who wanted her to go back so badly?' she thought. But the phone kept ringing. Eudora was so annoyed that she answered the phone without even looking at the caller ID.

"I won't go back. Don't even think about it!" Eudora yelled into the phone.

The caller was silent. Suddenly a deep masculine voice erupted from the other end, "Eudora? Did someone piss you off?"

"Mr... Mr. Granger?" Eudora was stunned and checked her screen. This was an unknown number as well, but it was a different number from before.

"Where are you?" Amos asked.

Only then Eudora realized that the sky had already turned dark. She quickly said, "I'll come back now."

"Where are you now?" Amos asked again. Eudora looked around her surroundings and told him her location. Amos replied quickly, "Find a safe place and wait for me there. I'll come and pick you up."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Eudora looked around and noticed that the lights in one of the markets were still on. She walked over and sat on a bench by the door.

Quite a distance away, Eudora saw a young man walking towards her direction, his hand holding on to a little girl. The girl was wearing a princess outfit with a smile on her face.

When they walked past Eudora, she heard the girl whispering to the man, "Daddy, I want a big doll!"

"Okay, Daddy will buy it for you."

"Then what about my princess bed?" "Of course I will buy for you too, my little princess!"

The girl giggled and turned to look at the sky. "Daddy, I want the stars in the sky too. Can you help me pick them?"

The man pretended to be in a dilemma. "Well, that is quite difficult for me. What should I do?"

The little girl thought that she had put her father in a difficult situation and immediately shook her head. "Then I don't want it."

"Now now. Close your eyes and let Daddy try!"

The little girl closed her eyes. The man looked around and noticed Eudora sitting on the bench. He walked towards Eudora, his hands holding a stack of neon-colored plastic origami.

"Miss, do you know how to fold a star?"

"Oh yes!" Eudora took the origami and quickly folded a star for him. The man thanked her repeatedly, carefully holding the star in his palm as if he was protecting a treasure.

"Little princess, open your eyes and have a look!"

"Wow!"

As the two of them slowly walked away, Eudora's eyes welled up with tears.

When Amos arrived at the location Eudora gave him, he saw a woman sitting by the bench alone. When he approached her, he saw that her shoulders were trembling slightly. He walked over and pulled her into his arms. "Are you crying?"

Eudora didn't expect Amos to reach so quickly. He wiped her tears away and shook her head. "No, there's just something in my eyes..."
