My Second Husband novel Chapter 413

Auntie Valerie looked at Tom and Nancy with a troubled look, "You two..."

"Mom!" Tom burst into tears, "If the Madam you've mentioned is really like what the man had just said, Mr. Granger must have known about it already. Yet, he still treats her so well. Their situation couldn't be any worse than ours at this moment!"

"Yes, Mr. Granger is so wealthy. He wouldn't have much problem living a wonderful life with his wife. On the other hand, we only have Weldon. If something bad were to happen to Weldon, it will be the end of our world!"

In the end, Auntie Valerie eventually helped Tom and Nancy to their feet, "Fine, get up off your knees! I'll listen to both of you!"

They hugged each other and cried bitterly as they stayed up all night.

The next day, Auntie Valerie went to Clearwater Bay as usual. As soon as she got out of the house, it started pouring.

When she was waiting for the bus, a black SUV pulled up beside her. She was surprised when she saw Harley greeting her with a smiling face from inside the SUV.

"You must be Auntie Valerie, right? I happen to be going to Clearwater Bay. Let me give you a ride!"

Auntie Valerie quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Louis."

"You are welcome!" Harley smiled and said, "Amos and Eudora regard you as their family, so don't worry about it, okay? If Amos knew that I didn't give you a ride when I saw you, he would be angry with me, wouldn't he?"

Auntie Valerie felt a little embarrassed all of a sudden. In fact, what Harley said was right. Amos and Eudora really treated her as part of their family, but Weldon was also her dearest darling. What was she supposed to do?

She remained quiet. Harley looked at her suspiciously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uneasy with how fast I'm driving? Why don't I wind down the windows..."

With that, he quickly reduced the car speed.

Auntie Valerie shook her head hurriedly, "No, I just didn't sleep well last night. It's okay. It's not because of your driving."

Harley had always been a person who was easy to get along with, and because of his profession, he dealt with a lot of ordinary people on a regular basis. He would always carry a smile.

"I'll tell you a joke to cheer you up then! How many steps does it take to put an elephant in the refrigerator?"

He was already laughing even before he could speak. Eudora had told this joke to Amos many years ago. Later, after he had learned of it, he would often tell this joke as well. However, he still found that Eudora could tell the joke better.

Auntie Valerie looked at Harley's cheery face and thought about Eudora from five years ago. At that time, she was there when Eudora and Amos were talking about this joke.

Five years had passed. It seemed to her that time has really flown by so quickly...

Miss George's temper had obviously changed a lot over the past few months. She always felt that Miss George must have gone through much in life, but she had never imagined that she had suffered through something so terrible.

How terrible would it be for a young lady!

"It's been a long time since Mrs. Granger told that joke!" Auntie Valerie was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion.

When Harley heard this, he became quiet for a second. His face became stiffer gradually, "Auntie Valerie, you are a sensible person. As for some matters, ignorance is bliss. Don't you think?"

Harley's look somehow made Auntie Valerie even more certain that what that man had said was true!

With her mind in disarray, she nodded in panic, "Yes, I agree."

They arrived at Clearwater Bay at 7.30 a.m.

Amos had already gotten up and brushing her teeth with Juju. When he saw Auntie Valerie, he ordered as usual, "Auntie Valerie, please take Juju to the kindergarten."
