My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 939

In the morning, before Eudora could even get up from bed, someone was heard knocking on the door.

Amos got up and opened the door. It was Naomi outside, looking uneasy.

"Where's Mom?"

Amos furrowed his brow and replied, "Why are you looking for your mother so early in the morning?

Don't disturb her rest!"

Naomi pursed her lips and said, "Dad, do you know how to make chicken soup?"

Amos was perplexed by her question and asked, "You want to make soup?"

Naomi replied with a nod, "That's right, Nelson got injured because of me! I reckon it would be normal

for me to return the favor by making soup for him." NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Eudora came out of the room after hearing that.

She had heard Naomi's request.

Eudora was a little dismayed and asked, "Normal? You've never cooked since you were a child!"

In the past, Naomi had only liked to practice self defense. Truth be told, Eudora had also mentioned

that she would like to teach Naomi how to cook.

Cooking wasn't for other people's sake, but merely for Naomi to become independent so she wouldn't

have to rely on others if she wanted to eat anything in the future. After all, cooking was also a survival

skill.

However, Naomi had not been interested in it at all.

She had attempted to cook twice and she had almost blown up the kitchen both of those times.

Eventually, Eudora no longer dared to let her cook anymore!

Now, she was the one who wanted to learn how to cook for the sake of her boyfriend!

Naomi pursed her lips and said, "Mom, don't ask anymore questions. Just tell me, can you teach me?"

Eudora turned her head away and said, "I'm not going to teach you how to cook! You're already so

invested in this relationship^ this early on. Do you know that you'll easily get cheated on if you continue

to act this way?"

Naomi disagreed, "Aren't you and Dad doing the same?"

"How are we the same? Your father and I are already a family!"

Naomi pursed her lips and said, "Then...I'll do it

myself!"

Eudora said helplessly, "Do you intend to blow up the house and burn us to death? Forget it, just let me

teach you!"

It seemed that she was unable to talk Naomi out of it. She turned back to look at Amos who gave her a

reassuring smile.

After Eudora and Naomi went into the kitchen, Amos left the hotel.

Richard was standing beside Nelson's sickbed in the hospital.

"Sir, although you indeed want to speed things up, you shouldn't risk your own life."

Nelson waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter! As the saying goes, you can't make an omelet

without breaking some eggs!"

Richard pursed his lips and said, "However, Madam Tiffany is incredibly worried about you. If I hadn't

dissuaded her, she might have come over!"

"Don't let her come over as she might disturb our plans!"

Richard nodded and said, "I'll continue to discourage her from coming over."

After thinking for a while, Nelson was still concerned.

'TH make an international call and make some arrangements. I'm going to send my mother overseas

temporarily."

Richard was confused for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that she won't comply with that."

Nelson shook his head and said, "You just have to tell her that if she doesn't go, our plan might fall

through. By then, she'll definitely go!"

No one hated the Granger family more than she did.

Richard replied with a nod, "Okay, then I'll head out!"

After Richard left, Nelson looked at the glass of water next to him. He remembered Naomi passing a

glass of water to him when he had woken up yesterday.

He subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the glass, but in the end, he gave up.

While he was in a daze, the door was pushed open from outside.

Amos stood at the doorway and asked in a low voice, "Can I come in?"

It was the first time that he had seen Amos since leaving Rosaville City many years ago. Although

many years had passed, Amos did not seem to have changed in the slightest.

Just like many years ago, Amos was still handsome and dashing.

After he agreed to let him in, Amos walked composedly to his bedside, looking down at him with a pair

of sharp eyes.

If it weren't for the psychological skills training that he had gone through, it was very likely that he would

be completely defeated under his sharp eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he, as the younger person, took the initiative to stand up and greet Amos.

"Uncle Amos, it's nice to meet you..."

Amos frowned and said, "Call me 'Mr. Granger'!"

He was reluctant to be friendly with Nelson before actually getting to know him. So, he acted distant

and unwelcoming towards Nelson.

Nelson didn't get angry. He just greeted once more.

He just greeted Amos once more, "Mr. Granger, it's nice to meet you."

He reckoned because he had saved Naomi, Amos would ask about his background, such as his

lifestyle and career.

He knew that Naomi must trust him a lot right now.

As far as his understanding went, Amos was also a man of his word. People like him had their own

perception of moral and ethics.

Nelson knew that Naomi certainly would not allow Amos to investigate him, and he would definitely

keep his promise to her as well.

Therefore, it was within his expectations that Amos would meet him face-to-face.

However, things failed to turn out that way.

Instead, Amos said, "Come on, let's have a match!"

Nelson was dumbfounded for a moment as he had not expected Amos to bring up a match without

asking anything.

Before Nelson could reply, Amos said again, "Are you scared that your body won't be able to handle it?

Then, forget it!"

"Sure!" Nelson said in a hurry.

"I have a lot of respect for you, so I will do as you say. When will the match be?"

"This afternoon! It'll be a shooting match."

Nelson replied, "Okay, it's a deal! I'll be there on time. I won't tell Naomi either."

Hearing that, Amos raised his eyebrows.

To him, Nelson seemed to be courteous and well-mannered. He was quite responsible that he was still

willing to go for such an appointment despite his injury. Moreover, the fact that he would not tell Naomi

about it indicated that he was considerate and reliable.

He was neither meek nor arrogant when talking to people.

If this was all his real personality, then Naomi getting together with him would be quite a good match.

However, there was another possibility.

Amos pursed his lips. Nelson could just be faking it. After all, Naomi had only known him for a short

period of time, so how could she have fallen in love with him so quickly?

He felt that he still had to know Nelson a little more as his decision might affect Naomi's life

significantly.

After returning, Amos began to prepare for their competition in the afternoon. Eudora followed behind

him like a lackey as she grinned.

"Hubby, you've made a good decision. I'll find a way to divert Naomi's attention in the afternoon while

you go and meet her boyfriend. I support your decision!"

Amos reached out his hand and caressed her face.

"Say it again!"

Eudora was bemused and said, "I support your decision!"

"No, the first part."

Eudora tried to recall what she had said, "Hubby, you've made..."

"Yes, honey?" Amos replied with a smile.

Eudora was rendered speechless.

He had beaten around the bush that much just to hear her call him 'hubby'? Then, she retorted, "We're

an old couple. That's too cloying for us!"

Amos held his forehead and said, "Oh, so you're indeed still aware that we are a couple. You only call

me 'hubby' when you have a favor to ask me for. Shouldn't you reflect on that?"

Eudora was rendered speechless.

Did she do that? Why hadn't she realized?

"Alright. Let's not talk about our matters. It's about time, so you should go now! I'm going to call Naomi!"

After that, Eudora picked up the phone and dialed Naomi's number.

"Naomi, I suddenly have a stomachache. Your father has gone out for a meeting. Please come back

quickly and accompany me to the hospital..."

As expected, her move was effective.

"Mom, I'll come back right now!"

Eudora winked at Amos and gave him a V-sign.
