My Second Husband novel Chapter 941

Normally, Amos would indulge the children and mollycoddle them but when it came to educating them, he was extremely strict.

Eudora's intervention on the children's behalf would not work either.

After the punishment was done, Eudora saw Naomi returning to her room. She quickly got up and followed her.

"Naomi, sit down. I'll rub some ointment on your legs, or your legs will feel sore at night!"

Naomi shook her head and said, "There's no need for that. I have to go to the hospital!"

Eudora paused for a moment before asking, "Naomi, do you really like Nelson that much?"

Eudora felt a sense of incredulity at the fact that being in love had addled Naomi's mind as she had always been very calm and sensible.

Naomi was already in her twenties, wasn't she?

The only time she had disobeyed Eudora was when she had wanted to go to Leslie's place and learn self-defense skills from him more than ten years ago, and the purpose behind her actions had been to protect her mother after all.

As a matter of fact, this was the only time Naomi was going against Eudora and Amos for her own sake.

She was doing so for the sake of a man, whom she had only known for a short time.

Hearing Eudora's question, Naomi paused briefly before she nodded and said, "Yes!"

She looked at her mother gravely.

"Mom, it's true! I like him very much!"

"Why?" Eudora was curious.

Naomi pursed her lips and replied, "He reminds me of my childhood memories. I feel really happy when I'm with him. I think that I will live a blissful life with him just like you and Dad!"

Eudora reminded her, "A blissful life can't be achieved just because you want one! Your relationship won't last long if you are merely relying on your feelings. The most important thing is the tolerance towards each other."

Naomi explained, "Mom, of course he tolerates me! Have you forgotten that he saved my life?"

"Then, tell me the reasons you're attracted to him. You've only known him for such a short time. Can you tell me his strengths and shortcomings?"

Naomi was stunned briefly before she retorted, "Did you know about Dad's strengths and shortcomings at the start of your relationship?"

Eudora choked up while Naomi's attitude drew a stern rebuke from Amos.

He scolded, "It seems that the punishment just now wasn't enough for you. How dare you talk to your mother that way?"

Naomi said defiantly, "I'm telling the truth. Nobody can guarantee that someone will completely understand their partner from the beginning. Aren't we supposed to get to know a person gradually through constant communication?"

"You..." Amos was about to fly into a rage, but Eudora stretched her hand out to stop him.

She shouted, "Stop!"

Naomi took advantage of this opportunity to run out.

Amos frowned and said, "You can't cosset her like that anymore!"

Eudora pursed her lips and said, "I know, but I can't bear to hurt her feelings. She has suffered too much since she was a child. Her eyes lit up when she talked about Nelson just now. Throughout these years, she has never been so eager to do something except to learn self-defense. This time, I think we have to let her be!"

As Amos furrowed his brow, they heard the voice of the referee from the shooting gallery.

"Mr. Granger, here are the records of the match."

Amos let go of Eudora and went over to take the notebook.

Flipping through the pages, he found that the final score for Nelson was ninety-nine points.

Seeing Amos read through the notebook, the referee couldn't help but praise Nelson.

"That young man was really good. He's very responsible and respectful. I've checked the targets and it seems like it's not impossible for him to defeat you, but I think he deliberately pretended to lose to you..."

Hearing that, Amos rolled his eyes at him.

The referee immediately changed his words, "M-Mr. Granger, what I mean is, he stands a chance, uh, no! It's possible! It's possible for him...no! I mean, he has little hope to win. So, I'll give him..."
