My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 314

Juju looked at both men with a face full of confusion, "Daddy, Grandpa, it's just a game!"

"No!" Both men bellowed in unison.

Eudora George rubbed her temples. She couldn't believe that the two men in front of her were the

legendary figures of Valiant East. One was the person who had pioneered it and another was the one

who had brought it to its greatest heights.

They were obviously just two childish boys at the right moment.

She quickly put down the stuff in her hands and walked over.

Eudora tried her best to ease the situation, "It doesn't matter if there's a chimney, either way, they're

fine."

Amos Granger stopped talking because his attention was now fixed on Eudora. Eudora was afraid that

they would start quarreling again, so she called for him, "Some of the boxes are a little heavy, could

you give me a hand with them?"

Amos put down his coat and got up instantly.

After he left, Eudora went over and sat down across the Old Master. He looked indignant. It was clear

that he was still trying to build a chimney even though Amos had walked away.

Seeing him like this reminded her of Juju when the little girl was mad. It was clear that she had

inherited this part of her temper from him.

She knew that there was no convincing him when he was like this. The more she tried, the more

stubborn he would become, just like a bull.

Eudora sat down beside him and said, "Actually, this chimney is really beautiful."

Just as Eudora thought, the old man was just like a child.

After receiving her affirmation, he beamed with joy.

"That's for sure. You can't deny it. The elders know what's best!"

Eudora was speechless. She had never heard of such self-praise before.

However, she continued, "But, why should a chimney exist?"

The Old Master turned his head and looked at Eudora, "I remember that you majored ind design, didn't

you?"

Eudora nodded, "Yes!"

"Then, you should know that many things aren't designed for aesthetic purposes. For example, the

reason why we had used bricks is for the feeling. A house by itself is something empty and cold, so

how do we turn it into a warm home? We do that by using emotions to turn the house into a home. We,

humans, since the olden times, like things to feel merry. If we were to rank a human's wants, food

would come in second, and clothing would come first. That's because clothes carry some sort of

emotion with it. A chimney gives me the feeling of home because it reminds me of the time when I saw

smoke coming out from the chimney when I was a little boy."

Eudora nodded. What he said was right. It was true. The elders knew best.

Although she had lived in the city since she was a child, her grandmother was very fond of the country

life. When her grandmother was still alive, her mother often brought her to visit her grandmother in the

countryside. So many years had passed by since then, in fact, Eudora had forgotten how her

grandmother looked like. However, whenever she thought of those times, she would always remember

the chimney at her grandmother's house.

Whenever she visited her grandmother, she could see smoke coming out of the house even though This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

she was miles away. That was how she knew that her grandmother was busy cooking up a feast for

her.

Memories like these were those that she would treasure forever.

"You're right!" Eudora said sincerely, "I've learned a lot from you."

The Old Master laughed loudly, "It is just a piece of cake? If you really want to learn from me, don't

forget about our promise. If you could complete that task, then I have a lot of other things to pass down

to you."

Eudora's eyes lit up, "Of course! You'll see!"

The Old Master laughed, then he looked down and continued to assemble his chimney.

At this moment, Juju had climbed onto the sofa to play, accidentally pushing Amos' coat off the sofa.

When Eudora picked it up, she felt a thumb drive inside the pocket.

She was stunned, "What's this?"

"Mommy, it's a movie! Play it, play it!"

Seeing Juju squealing out in delight, Eudora didn't think much about it and she plugged the thumb drive

into the player and played the video.

After plugging it in, Eudora walked back towards the Old Master, planning to continue their

conversation about design. As she was about to open her mouth, Juju called out, "Daddy is a

superhero!"

Eudora looked up at the screen and saw Amos fighting a bunch of gangsters.

Amos looked incredibly dashing on the wide screen. In just a few seconds, he managed to take down

all the gangsters.

Eudora had never seen Amos get physical. Since he had Charlie by his side, there was never a need

for him to do so.

This was her first time seeing him like this, her eyes couldn't help but light up in awe.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Amos had walked back into the room. A warm feeling spread across his

chest. He was brimming with satisfaction when he saw his queen and princess watching him in awe.

Right now, his princess's arms were wrapped tightly around his thigh as she stared at him with

admiration.

"Daddy, you're so handsome!" Amos lowered his head and kissed her cheek. He then turned to look at

Eudora. Although he hadn't said anything, his eyes were clearly asking for her approval, "What do you

think?"

The Old Master was still here, so naturally, Eudora remained silent. She just turned her head away and

nodded slightly.

Amos was a little disappointed. However, in the next second, he heard the Old Master snort.

"Why did you have to be so dramatic!"

Amos kept quiet.

Eudora burst into laughter. In the past, she had always thought that their arguments were utterly

useless. But now, she realized that the only person in the world who could make Amos stutter was the

Old Master.

Despite his comment, the Old Master couldn't help but smile when Amos left the room.

When they were done packing, Eudora went back to retrieve the thumb drive just as they were about to

leave. When she reached the player, she realized that the thumb drive was gone.

She figured that Amos had kept it so she didn't look for it.

After they arrived back at the family house, the Old Master began enticing Juju to play with him in the

main room. Eudora was worried, so she followed behind them.

Juju was playing with the Old Master. In the end, she was exhausted and she eventually fell asleep.

Seeing this, Eudora picked her up. After putting her to bed, Eudora remembered that she hadn't seen

Amos the entire afternoon. When she walked past the study, she saw Amos sitting there alone in a

daze.

Eudora cried out in surprise, "Amos, you're home?"

Amos ignored her and he even turned his head away haughtily. Eudora was speechless.

She felt that Amos was adorable. He was acting just like Juju was when she was angry.

Eudora ran to him and cupped his face, "You're so cute. Could you please make that expression

again? I want to take a picture of it!"

Amos was at a loss for words.

Did this woman not realize that he was angry?

True enough, Eudora had no idea that he was mad. She was engrossed in the fact that Amos' haughty

expression was nearly identical to Juju's. She really wanted a picture to keep as a memory.

Amos felt so wronged. He then pushed her phone away and said, "I'm mad."

Eudora felt lost.
