My Second Husband novel Chapter 388

Gordon was stunned by the news, "Is Kesha coming back? What about Eudora?"

Felicia knew that he would definitely mention Eudora. She had gone abroad about five years ago and she had taken a large sum of money with her at that time.

She thought that she must have disappeared without a trace. She did not expect her to return.

Fortunately, the old man didn't know what was going on exactly.

Felicia smiled and teased, "You forgetful oaf! Did you forget that Eudora had gone abroad already? We haven't heard from her yet."

Gordon nodded a little as his face shone slight disappointment.

"Why hasn't Eudora come back?" Fie sighed.

"Don't worry about her. She's living a good life now. With me by your side, you don't have to worry about anything," Felicia said hurriedly.

Eventually, they left the house to head towards the market for groceries. As they shopped, their conversation kept flowing.

"Kesha loves beef. Would you like to have steak for dinner?"

Gordon nodded lightly. Not a moment later, Gordon suddenly dumped two stalks of asparagus into their shopping cart. "Eudora loves asparagus!"

As if he was a man on a mission, he started to hunt down other ingredients. He eventually came back with some pork ribs and tomatoes.

"Eudora likes these too!"

Felicia, on the other hand, was removing everything he had put in the cart, "Gordon, have you forgotten? Eudora's not here. She is currently abroad!"

After a long pause, Gordon exclaimed, "Oh! Did I forget again?"

Felicia sighed as she took the ingredients out from the cart and placed them all back on the shelves. However, once she had her back turned, she saw that Gordon had put the ingredients that she had previously removed back into the cart again.

She gave up not long after and let him have his way.

As they continued to shop, Gordon kept adding a lot of Eudora's favorites food into the cart.

Eventually, they made it home in one piece. Felicia sat Gordon in the living room and instructed him to sit still.

"I'm going to cook now, so behave yourself. If you need anything, just yell for me."

Gordon nodded. After Felicia left, he started to organize the groceries into their respective places and dialed a number after.

The number that he had dialed was Eudora's old phone number, which was was already inactive. He frowned at his phone when it couldn't get through, "Did I key in the wrong number?" As a result, he dialed again. However, the call did not go through once again.

Unrelenting, he put down the phone and started to search through his contacts.

In the end, he saw the name Amos Granger' on the last page of his contact list. Attached to it was a string of phone numbers.

He hesitated for a while before dialling the number. It went through.

Auntie Valerie was about to pick up the ringing phone, but Eudora happened to be downstairs and so, she went to pick it up.

"It might be a prank call. There's been a lot of them recently," Auntie Valerie said.

Eudora smiled gratefully at the warning as she held the phone over her ear.

"Hello?"

After a moment of silence, she said to Auntie Valerie with a smile, "It really is just a prank call!"

Just as she was about to hang up, a slightly surprised voice came from the other end, "Eudora?"

Eudora was stunned. The voice sounded so much older, but already, she could tell that it was Gordon.

"Dad?" She asked subconsciously.

Her only memory of him was when he tried to sell her off to Felix Meyer. She didn't really know enough about him to feel any certain way.

"It's really you! Oh, I've missed you so much. It's time to come home for a meal!" Eudora pursed her lips when she remembered that Amos had informed her that she had cut off contact with the George family.
