My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 184

Amos felt that he couldn't wait any longer.

Not only because he had promised Old Master Granger, but also because he had just seen Christopher with her.

The relationship between them was so intimate, so natural. He admitted that he was very jealous. The jealousy was so overwhelming, and it was killing him.

If he could go back in time, he wished that the person who stayed by her side in Italy for the past five years was him, not Christopher.

Therefore, when he found out that today was Valentine's Day, he got this sudden thought in a flash. No matter what, he had to confess his love to her.

Even though he might scare her away, he would do everything to win her back. If there was one thing that he was sure of, he didn't want to see her with another man.

Seeing that she did not speak, Amos asked, "Can we be together?"

Mentally, Eudora was flung into a total mess. Not only was she shocked by his confession, but she was also stunned at the fact that her own heart still hammered madly when she heard his words. Everything seemed blurry and conflicting.

Over the past five years, she had told herself repeatedly that Amos was the last person she wanted to see in her life. She had always told herself that she wanted to live for herself and only herself, not for that man.

But now...

It must be because Juju liked him a lot, hence she felt flustered. Yes, that must be it.

Eudora was stunned for a while before she opened her mouth.

"What makes you think that I'll accept you?"

When her words hit him, Amos was stunned to silence. Then, he heard her soft voice saying, "The President Granger whom I used to know had a perfectly able and good body, yet I still left. I don't suppose I need to say much about the President Granger right in front of me now. You have lost the ability to walk."

Originally, Eudora had thought that her harsh words would have no effect whatsoever on herself. However, after she finished her sentence, she felt a pang inside her, as if she was stabbed right in the middle of the heart with a sharp pair of scissors. Not only did she hurt Amos, but she had also hurt herself.

Amos' eyes darkened. After a long time, he asked in a deep voice, "Do you dislike me because I'm disabled now?"

As he spoke, his eyes showed a trace of weakness, an emotion that Amos rarely showed before. Eudora had never seen him so vulnerable before.

She hurriedly opened her mouth. "Yes!" She took a deep breath. Some things had already been said, and the subsequent words came to her much easier, pouring out by themselves.

"With my standards, there are so many people chasing after me. Why should I accept you? President Granger, please leave!"

After that, Eudora went straight past Amos and headed into her apartment.

When she walked past him, Amos suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

His palms were ice cold and it penetrated through her veins. Her body stiffened.

Amos' husky bass voice rang in her ears. "Do all the people who are chasing after you love you to death like I do?"

Eudora stunned on the spot. He said that he loved her to death.

She should have laughed at this. However, she suddenly remembered what Auntie Valerie had said to her. Amos got into a car accident when he learned that she was dead.

All of a sudden, she couldn't bring herself to laugh anymore.

After wrenching out of Amos' tight grip, Eudora opened the door and slammed it shut without looking back.

It was as if she was shutting her heart, not letting anyone in.

Startled by the noise, Juju ran out to hear the sound of water gushing in the bathroom. She knocked on the door and asked, "Mommy, are you in there?" "Yes!" Eudora sniffed and said softly.

"Mommy, where is Uncle?"

"He's gone!"

"Oh!" Juju lowered her head. She thought that Amos would succeed, but it seemed that he had failed.

After Eudora finished showering, she coaxed Juju to sleep again. Just as she was about to go to bed herself, she heard footsteps coming from the corridor.
