My Second Husband novel Chapter 267

Juju had a cold war with Eudora George because of this matter. She refused to speak to Eudora for the entire night. She even moved all of her things to the nursery next door.

Although Eudora was silent, she was still saddened by Juju's behavior.

Amos Granger finally found Eudora in the kitchen. Her figure was illuminated under the warm yellow lights, her back trembling ever-so-slightly.

His heart ached. Making large strides into the kitchen, he pulled her into a tight embrace.

"You don't have to worry about this. I'll make sure to teach her a lesson!"

Eudora grabbed him hurriedly. "What are you going to do?"

"Nobody is allowed to make you cry, not even my own daughter."

His words seemed to have comforted Eudora a little, "What are you going to do then? Beat her?"

Amos frowned, "It's my fault that she has become like this. So I have to teach her a lesson."

Amos spun out of the kitchen and immediately headed towards the stairs. Eudora followed after him hurriedly. Before she could call out to him, Amos turned to look at her as though he had sensed her thoughts, "Don't worry. Everything will be fine." Eudora calmed down after hearing his reassurance.

Juju was sitting on the floor and leaning against the bed in the nursery, pouting her mouth.

Amos turned the lights on, "Juju, we need to talk!"

Juju ignored him, moving her head to face the other way.

Amos seemed a little angry, "If you're not willing to speak to me, you'll never lay your eyes on this gun ever again!"

This made Juju nervous, "What do I have to do to get it then?"

"First, tell me why you want the gun."

The pair stared at each other stubbornly. In the end, Juju caved. She pursed her lips and said, "I want it so that I could protect Mommy!"

Amos was stunned by her words. He had thought of numerous reasons in his head, and he would always come to the same conclusion. He thought that Juju only wanted the gun as a means for entertainment. He had never thought that Juju's insistence on carrying a gun was to protect Eudora.

In that instant, he felt like a failure.

Amos thought that Juju had recovered completely. He did not expect that she was still traumatized by the things that had happened that day.

He lifted Juju off her feet with his large hands, a frown etched on his face, "I'm sorry, it's Daddy's fault. Protecting your Mommy should have been my job."

Juju shook her head, "Daddy is busy with a lot of things, so I'm willing to share the burden with you."

His daughter really was the light of his life. His heart warmed at the thought.

"Shall we strike a deal then?"

Juju looked up at him curiously, "What deal?"

"Your Mommy is right. A gun is too dangerous for a child. I'll have this modified for you so it wouldn't be as dangerous. Once you've grown up, I'll remodel it back to its original state. What do you think? Do we have a deal?

"Okay, deal!" Juju exclaimed with bright eyes.

Everything was fine now, and he had successfully solved the crisis at hand. Amos then said with a smile, "Great. Let's have dinner then! Remember that you must apologize to your mother when you see her later!"

Juju nodded.

Eudora had prepared dinner downstairs and she was already sitting at the dining table. At this moment, she was looking out of the window leisurely.

Upon seeing Amos and Juju by the door, she stood up in a hurry, "Dinner's ready!"

Juju left Amos' embrace and went up to Eudora, her big eyes were filled with guilt, "Mommy, I'm sorry."

Eudora was shocked. She looked up, only to meet with Amos' gaze. She realized that Amos had successfully convinced their daughter.

To be honest, she had acted a little rash at the time. Even though Juju was unwilling to comply, she could have just explained the situation to her nicely. However, she had chosen the most irrational solution to resolve the matter, which was to snatch the gun away from Juju.
