My Second Husband novel Chapter 76

Amos’ phone was switched off. "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable."

"What’s wrong?" Eudora muttered.

Aunt Valerie quickly added, "Sir’s phone must have run out of battery. He should be back soon. Don't worry, let's wait for a while."

"Okay!" Eudora nodded. She took the cake out from the fridge and put it on the table.

The two of them sat down and chatted aimlessly.

Cola ran over and jumped on Eudora's legs. It carefully adjusted its head to get the most comfortable spot.

As time went by, Eudora became more and more anxious.

She even forgot to answer Aunt Valerie when she asked her a question.

She stood up out of a sudden and screamed, "Do you think something could’ve happened to him?"

Startled, Aunt Valerie answered, "I don't think so. He has so many bodyguards to protect him. That’s not possible."

"That's true," Eudora whispered.

However, she could not erase this possibility out of her mind. She was becoming more and more restless in this endless wait.

Eudora tried to call Clint again. Unsurprisingly, his phone was also turned off.

She was about to go crazy. She quickly dialed the company's number.

Fortunately, there were still a few people left in Valiant East. They told,

"President Granger went to the States this afternoon."

"Why did he go there? Is he on a business trip?" Eudora asked.

"Sorry, we are not sure about this. However, it doesn’ t look like a business trip," the man on the phone explained.

Eudora’s heart sank. Her worries slowly became a disappointment.

Aunt Valerie saw her face and quickly comforted, "Miss, it must be something really urgent, that's why he didn't have the chance to tell you first. The food is getting cold. Why don’t we have some food first?"

Eudora shook her head. "I'm not hungry!"

Aunt Valerie went to the kitchen and cleaned up the table. She knew that Eudora wanted to be alone.

Cola licked Eudora's fingers and looked at her.

Eudora smiled bitterly. "Cola, I thought that finally, someone is going to be with me on my birthday. I guess I expected too much."

Cola whimpered and hid its face between her thighs.

It was raining cats and dogs outside.

Pa! Pa! The raindrops hit on the windows. She was reminded of the kite she left in the yard and quickly got up.

She rushed out of the door while Aunt Valerie quickly stopped her.

"Please, don’t. It's just a kite! You will get sick if you go out."

"No!" Eudora shook her head. Perhaps for others, it was just a kite, but for her, it was not. It was Amos' promise to her. He promised her that he would fly the kite with her.

She pushed Aunt Valerie away and darted through the cold rain.

The kite was completely destroyed. The sticks that held the kite were soaked in a puddle.

Without further hesitation, Eudora brought it back to the house. Aunt Valerie quickly rushed over with an umbrella. "Miss, I don’t think it can be used again."

Aunt Valerie tried to cover her from the rain as much as possible. But Eudora didn't care about getting wet at all.

Both of them were drenched in rain eventually.

Aunt Valerie quickly passed a dry towel to Eudora when they entered the house. "Please use the towel to dry yourself off. Don't catch a cold."

Eudora ignored her and started fixing the kite.

Aunt Valerie grabbed the kite away from her. "Miss, please don't be so stubborn."
