My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 71

The woman paused for a while and answered, "Miss, no one makes a kite by themselves anymore

nowadays. Look, our kites are nice and they are not expensive."

Eudora shook her head and was about to leave the shop. The woman quickly shouted, "But we do sell

semi-finished kites. I will ask my husband to make one for you in three days."

She thought about it for a while and agreed to the woman’s suggestion. She wrote down her address

on a piece of paper.

"Can you deliver to this address once you are done?” asked Eudora.

The woman nodded and promised, "Sure."

Eudora went home happily.

Seeing Aunt Valerie was doing house chores, Eudora changed into a set of comfy clothes and

volunteered, “Let me help you!”

Aunt Valerie shook her head hurriedly. "You should not do this.”

"What are you talking about? I've not been working at all. I’m so bored with just staying at home. Isn't it

okay for me to help you a bit with the chores?’

Aunt Valerie couldn’t refute her points. "Then, would you please tidy up Sir's study? It’s not that messy

though."

Eudora nodded. "Okay, leave it to me!" Amos’ study was indeed quite clean and tidy. Eudora took a rag

and started cleaning the bookshelves while arranging the books.

Eudora noticed that his books were gathering dust.

Apparently, Amos never allowed Aunt Valerie to touch his books. Eudora thought that she must clean

them thoroughly today since she had the chance.

Eudora took the books out from the bookshelves one by one.

A piece of paper slipped out from a book and it almost fell into a pail of water she brought. Startled,

Eudora quickly picked it up.

It turned out that to be an old photo.

A boy and a girl were seen in the photo. Eudora could recognize that he was Amos in his 10s.

However, she had never seen the girl before. She looked much younger than Amos in the photo.

They looked rather close and this made Eudora feel a bit uneasy.

Aunt Valerie came in and panicked when she saw Eudora staring at the photo.

"Miss, you can't take this out. Please put it back now! If Sir finds out about this, he will be furious. He

has forbidden me to touch his bookshelves after I accidentally cleaned it years ago," said Aunt Valerie.

Eudora’s heart skipped a beat. She thought, "Is this so precious to him?"

After putting the books back onto the bookshelves, Eudora emptied the pail. She went back to her

room and lay on her bed. She could not stop thinking of the girl in the photo. Amos looked so different

in the photo. She could see his warm smile in there.

When Amos came home, he saw Aunt Valerie in the living room, cleaning up.

He looked around to search for Eudora.

"She is upstairs," Aunt Valerie told him.

"Okay!" Amos went straight upstairs.

He entered the room and saw Eudora lying on the bed. He took off his coat and slowly walked towards

her and hugged her from the back.

Surprised, Eudora turned around at once. “Oh, you’re back.”

"Yeah!" Amos nodded. "Why are you in bed?"

She would usually seize the opportunity to check on her designs instead of resting.

"Nothing! I’m just tired," Eudora answered.

Amos thought about their time together last night and kissed on her forehead. "Rest then!" This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Eudora closed her eyes while Amos stayed beside her for a while before he headed to his study.

As soon as he entered the room, he realized that someone had touched his books. He frowned and

walked to the bookshelves before he turned around and went out of the room again.

"Aunt Valerie, did you touch my books?" Amos questioned. Aunt Valerie hurriedly went upstairs and

stuttered, "Sir, I..."

Eudora came out of the bedroom and interrupted, "It’ s not her. It was me who arranged your books."

Aunt Valerie could sense the tension in the air and quickly explained," It was my fault to ask for her

help, Sir."

Seeing their reaction, Amos pondered for a while before he continued, "Please excuse us, Aunt

Valerie."

Aunt Valerie glanced at Eudora again and went downstairs, worried.

Amos gazed at Eudora's serious face and asked, "Did you see that photo?"

Eudora didn’t expect that Amos would mention the photo before she did. Judging by his expression,

Eudora knew that the photo meant a lot to him.

She couldn't help but feel upset. Eudora nodded lightly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to see it."

Amos chuckled and put his hands around her waist.

"Are you angry?" asked Amos.

Eudora took a deep breath and tried to suppress her emotions. "No, I’m not."

"Really?" Amos did not believe her.

Eudora stayed tight- lipped while Amos kissed on her eye.

"She once saved my life, but unfortunately she has passed away."

"She died?" Eudora's heart trembled. She found herself ridiculous just now.

"I'm sorry," Eudora apologized.

“It’s okay. You didn’t know about this,” Amos reassured, “I'm very happy and contented knowing that

you’re by my side."

Eudora circled her arms around his waist and buried herself in his chest. “I’ll be with you forever."

"Good girl!" Amos replied.

Eudora was unusually forthcoming in bed that evening.

Her soft and delicate body clung on Amos. It was as if she wanted to give him everything she had.

Eudora lay in his arms and smiled with satisfaction after the ‘exercise’.

"I'm feeling much better now. Can I go back to work tomorrow?" asked Eudora.

Her voice was exceptionally attractive. His gaze darkened and grabbed her shoulder.

"Is that why you were ’working’ so hard just now?" He teased.

"Of course not." Eudora pouted. "I have been resting for a long time. When Christopher came to visit

me last time in the hospital, he mentioned that they will wait for me before they start working on another

project," said Eudora.

Amos did not respond to her. Eudora cuddled him tighter and begged,

"Please..."

She rarely acted cute in front of him, but when she did, she looked like a kitten that made his heart

flutter. He pulled her up and made her sit on his chest.

He said, "That depends on your performance tonight."

Eudora was confused initially but understood right away when she was put in that position.

She blushed. "I don't want to do it."

"You don't want to? Hmm?" Amos questioned.

Eudora pursed her lips and sat upright. When they were in the midst of the process, he finally agreed to

her request.

Eudora woke up early the next morning. Amos could see Eudora going back and forth in the room,

happily.

She seemed to be so lively after she changed into her working suits and did her makeup.

She noticed that Amos was staring at her and asked, “Good morning. How do I look in this?"

She looked especially beautiful in her classic formal attire. However, he felt a little uneasy when he

thought of others would see her beautiful woman.

But he quickly concealed his emotion from Eudora seeing how elated she was. He nodded and

praised, "You look wonderful."
