My Second Husband novel Chapter 58

"To give birth to a child?" Astonished, Eudora's eyes widened.

"Why? Do you not want to?" The Old Master asked, "In my opinion, if you have feelings for Amos and you are staying with him for a year, you two should have a child!"

"That's different!" Eudora exclaimed, "A child should grow up in an environment filled with love. I can't do that!"

"Miss George, I hope you can reconsider," he added, "Tell me if you have any other conditions..."

She interrupted, "No, I am not going to do this! I won't agree!"

The old master's face darkened upon hearing her words.

"Miss George, do you think I would ask you to do such a thing if you're not with Amos? I thought you would be more sensible and understanding," he sneered and continued, "Amos has done so much for you. I thought you would at least do this for him. I guess I'm wrong. Go back now!"

Eudora didn't reply at all and left instantly.

Harry Granger saw her when she was about to leave the room.

It seemed that he was very pleased with his new role as the temporary president. He even greeted Eudora when he saw her, "Oh! Miss George, nice to see you. How's Amos?"

"Very well, thank you for your concern," she replied and walked away.

Harry asked the servant next to him after Eudora disappeared from his sight.

"What is she doing here?"

The servant shook his head and answered, "Sorry but I don't know. It was the old master who invited her here."

Harry frowned. He thought that the old master must have reprimanded her since Amos was punished by him too.

Eudora sat in her car for a while after leaving the house.

Her mind was occupied by her childhood memories. After her mother passed away, Felicia was married to her father. There was once when she was chosen to play the role of a mermaid in her school performance.

She put so much effort into it as she was the main actress. She told her father ahead of time that he must definitely come and see her perform.

She was so happy when he said he was going to go although he was busy with his work. She took his promise to her very seriously.

Thus, she had spent more time practicing compared to others as she wanted to show her father her best. On the day of the performance, she smiled brightly while she was on the stage. Her eyes were skimming through the audience, row by row, trying to identify the man she wanted to see the most.

But she couldn't find him.

Even after the competition, he did not show up.

Heartbroken and disappointed, she told herself that he must be busy.

She went home right away after. Her jaws dropped when she saw her father chatting with Felicia and Kesha in his arms in the living room. He praised Kesha, "You little dwarf is really good today. Well done."

"Thank you, daddy! You're the best," Kesha replied.

Eudora was only ten that year. She couldn't hold their disappointment and shouted, "Why didn't you go? You promised me that you would be there for my performance. Why weren't you there?"

Gordon realized that he had missed her performance after Eudora reminded him. He looked at her and said, "Is your show today?"

She would never forget the cold and unconcerned look in his eyes.

She swore to herself that she would rather not have any children in the future if the little one couldn't grow up in a love-filled family.

Amos arrived home and he couldn't find Eudora. He thought of what happened previously and went straight to the Granger Mansion.

The butler had been waiting for him at the door. He said, "Young Master, the Old Master has been waiting for you in his study."

Amos frowned and looked around the house. The butler added, "Miss George has left."

"Alright!" Amos answered and walked to the study.

The Old Master was still looking at the album. He didn't even raise his head when Amos came in.
