My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 1117

Eddison was incredibly thirsty, therefore he opened the bottle of water.

He drank half of the bottle and felt much better. He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you."

"I don't think you're a construction worker. You look so delicate and fragile. Are you here to inspect the site? You should have asked them to find someone to bring you in so that you would not have ended up like this."

Eddison was a little agitated. "I'm not delicate and fragile!" he exclaimed at her.

The woman chuckled before she said, "I'm sorry! Then, please don't climb over the wall. They will be back after lunch!"

Instead of climbing over the wall, Eddison found a place with a shade and sat down.

As he looked up, he saw that the woman was drawing, which piqued his curiosity.

"Are you a worker here?"

"Sort of!" she answered absent-mindedly, her mind still on her work.

Eddison could not help but mutter, "Why don't you find an easier job? Isn't this job too tiring to do?"

The woman shook her head before saying, "It's not hard at all! It's not hard if you like it!"

Eddison left it at that.

Eddison did not like such a job, therefore he failed to understand her. However, he was willing to respect her.

He recalled the bottle of water just then. He realized that it should not be easy for her to work there.

So, he said casually, "Thank you for the drink just now. What's your name?"

"I'm Rachel Gellert!" The woman did not even raise her head as she answered, "They're back from their lunch. You can go out now!"

Eddison nodded. After taking a few steps, he remembered that Rachel had not eaten yet, therefore he thought about inviting her to join him for lunch.

However, when he turned his head, she was gone.

He shrugged and walked out of the construction site, covered in sweat.

Amos stood outside the construction site, with the supervisor of the construction site behind him, holding an umbrella and sweating.

"President Granger, it's such a sunny day. Why

don't you go in and take a rest?"

Amos remained silent until he saw a young figure walking out slowly from the construction site.

Then, he turned around, saying, "Let's go in!"

The supervisor of the construction site suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. If Amos were to suffer from a heat stroke, he would be severely blamed!

Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Eddison walking towards him. He immediately took a deep breath and walked up towards Eddison.

"Young Master Eddison, you're back! Why are you in such a mess? Come on, let's go inside and clean up!"

Eddison seldom did such things, but it did not mean that he could not withstand hardships. After all, his parents had taught them to be independent since they were a child.

He saw this and waved his hand, saying, "There's no need for that. I'll go in and deliver the report first!"

The supervisor followed Eddison in.

Inside, Amos sat on the sofa and was enjoying his tea, looking quite relaxed. He did not have the cold aura that he had when he was waiting outside.

The supervisor was surprised as he watched Amos. No matter how amazing a parent was, they would still care for their children!

Just as he thought about that, Eddison spoke.

"This is the data I've collected."

Amos looked at the supervisor and said, "Check the data for me!"

The supervisor quickly took it and flipped through a few pages. He was also shocked. He had originally thought that the delicate Eddison would only come to the construction site to put on a show.

After all, everyone knew that Eddison studied law, and had never touched on architecture before.

It would be alright if he was just acting as if he knew about architecture.

However, to his surprise, the suggestions he gave were quite pertinent.

Except for a few which were not too good, the other suggestions showed room for improvement!

Eddison reluctantly greeted him, "Mr. Gellert!"

"Nice to meet you! Please, have a seat!"

After that, Jarred took out his phone and called someone, saying, "Why isn't that girl here yet? Tell her to come over quickly!"

Before his voice died away, footsteps were heard from outside. Jarred put down his mobile phone and said, "She's here. I'll go and have a look!"

It was not until Jarred had left that Eddison took the opportunity to talk to Amos.

"I won't agree to this!"

Keeping quiet, Amos just knocked on the table lightly.

Outside, the conversation between Jarred and the other person could be heard faintly. He was saying, "They are all inside, so why aren't you going in?"

Eddison suddenly felt a little happy. It seemed that his blind date had also been forced to come! There was going to be a good show then!

As he was in contemplation, the door was pushed open yet again.

Jarred came in with a smile, "Sorry to keep you waiting. This is my daughter, Rachel Gellert!"

Eddison was stunned. Rachel Gellert?

At that moment, Rachel did not look the same as she had been in the construction site. Although she had been reluctant to come, as a daughter of a respectable family who had been educated well since she was a child, she had still changed into a decent dress.

Her hair had also been done, and her makeup was also quite exquisite.

She heard her father's introduction on her behalf, and greeted them warmly.

However, Eddison did not think that she was as pleasing to the eye as he had seen her on the construction site just then.

He silently lowered his head and looked at the glass in front of him. He heard footsteps nearing him. Then, a figure with a faint fragrance sat next to him.

Eddison frowned and subconsciously leaned back.

Rachel seemed to have felt his actions.

She subconsciously apologized, "I'm sorry, did I disturb you?" She sounded decent and generous, but Eddison felt that she was putting on an act.
