My Second Husband novel Chapter 417

The driver was startled by Amos' sudden tense voice. He was a little hesitant to speak.

"He's... Miss Juju's classmate. The Little Master from the Granger family, Vincent."

Vincent?

Amos wrinkled his brows. Didn't Juju dislike Vincent in the past? Why was she hanging out with him then?

However, that child had always been a wimpy kid. Therefore, Amos did not put much thought into it.

He turned back to Harley, pursed his lips, and said, "Alright, you should head back now. We are probably just overthinking this!"

Harley was relieved. He thanked the Heavens that nothing unfortunate had happened.

In Clearwater Bay.

Eudora slept for a long time, and she could hear the sound of shots being fired in the yard below while she was still in a daze. She opened her eyes and slowly got up.

The room was empty, and Amos was not in the room.

Eudora walked to the window and took a look. Juju and a little boy were in the yard. Eudora looked at him for a moment but she couldn't seem to remember who he was.

She was not that curious either.

In fact, all she wanted to do then was to practice shooting as well! However, Amos wasn't there.

Eudora wondered for a moment and suddenly thought that she was being silly.

Wasn't it better that Amos wasn't there? That way, she could at least go downstairs and have some fun. Even if Amos were to come back later, he wouldn't be able to do much about it.

Perhaps she had already become accustomed to Amos' constant presence. It was astonishing how she was so used to being bossed around by Amos. She even felt a little uneasy without him around.

At that thought, Eudora opened the door promptly and made her way downstairs. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Charlie and Wesley following closely behind her. Eudora was confused for a moment, "What's wrong? Aren't you two normally in the garden at this hour? Why are you following me today?"

"Mr. Granger instructed us to keep you guarded at all times before he left the house."

Eudora chuckled, "Why do I need your protection when I'm at home? Let's head downstairs and practice shooting together."

Charlie felt helpless.

"Sorry, Madam. I'm afraid that Mr. Granger will not allow it!" Charlie said. Eudora frowned, "Wouldn't it be fine if you just conceal this matter from him? Besides, I go down there every afternoon to practice shooting. Why can't I do the same on my own just because Amos isn't here today?"

Charlie was still worried, "Madam, it's best if you wait for Mr. Granger to return!"

Eudora sighed. This person in front of her was even stricter than Amos was!

With a twinkle in her eye, Eudora quickly covered her stomach, "My stomach hurts!"

Charlie and Wesley were stunned, "Madam, are you alright? I'll call the doctor right away."

"There's no use. It's all because of the two of you! If you want me to get better, let's go down there and practice shooting then."

After that, she ran downstairs without even waiting for their approval. Charlie and Wesley had no choice but to follow her.

Juju was practicing shooting with Vincent in the garden. Vincent looked very timid, and when he saw Juju shooting, he whispered.

"Why are you so good at it?"

Juju snorted, "That's because you are too timid. You are a boy. How could you still be bullied by the girls in the class? I couldn't even bear to look at it. I wouldn't have helped you if you weren't my cousin!"

Vincent lowered his head, "Do you hate me?"

He was a reserved, timid, and pitiful child. It was probably because he had wandered homelessly with his mother since he was an infant. Juju had always had a bold temperament and she was the most compassionate to the weak. When she saw him like this, she also softened her voice.
