My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 995

Eudora and Naomi looked at each other for a long time. Suddenly they realized something.

They spoke in unison.

"It's Dad!"

"It's Amos!"

Puzzled, Naomi said, "Why is Dad behaving this way? Mom, you also know Nelson. It was an accident when he got injured last time. Didn't Dad often get injured in the past? You didn't leave him either!"

Indeed, Eudora knew that. However, as parents, she and Amos needed to consider more than that.

"Do you really like him very much that you can't do without him?"

Naomi nodded firmly and said, "Yes!"

"Alright then!" Eudora sighed. Naomi had grown up and wanted to lead her own life. She thought that perhaps she and Amos should start sorting out her marital affairs.

When Amos came back in the evening, he saw Eudora sitting on the bed. She stared intently at him.

He asked, "What's wrong? Cindy and Charlie had finally got together. Aren't you happy?"

Eudora ignored his words and asked directly.

She immediately asked, "Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Amos was baffled so he asked, "What's the matter?"

"I'm asking you! Is there anything you're hiding from me?"

Amos instantly understood and replied, "Oh, this is about Naomi! Yes, I'm not allowing her to meet Nelson."

Eudora asked in surprise, "How did you know that I was talking about her?"

Amos smiled faintly and said, "Because that's the only one thing that I didn't tell you! Apart from that, there is nothing else!"

Eudora let out a sigh while saying, "Anyways, you still hid that from me. Why did you do that?"

Amos thought about what he had asked Clint to do, but he stayed quiet about it in the end.

"It's just that I don't like Nelson. I'm worried that Naomi won't be happy with him!"

Eudora didn't know anything, nor did he want her to find out more. The more she knew, the more perturbed she would be!

Eudora said with a smile, "That's not necessarily true. When I was with you, my father was also worried that we wouldn't be happy if we got together! However, look at me now, am I not happy? All the girls in the city envy me. They say that I must have saved the galaxy in my past life to be blessed with such a great husband!"

It was the first time that Amos had heard such an expression, "Saved the galaxy?"

"That's right, but you can't afford to be complacent about that!"

Amos shook his head and said, "No, I won't! However, Nelson is different from what I used to be."

"What's the difference?" Eudora was curious.

"It's okay, I'll take care of this matter."

"We can't let it go on like this. I'm afraid that Naomi will defy us if we don't allow her to be with Nelson."

Amos asked, "What did she say to you?"

"No, it's not that. I noticed it myself!" She was reluctant to let Amos know that Naomi had secretly met with Nelson because she didn't want to affect their father-daughter relationship.

Amos nodded and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll handle it. Oh, by the way, Thanksgiving is in a few days. I've heard that there will be a meteor shower this year. The best viewing spot is at our wooden cabin on the mountain. Cindy isn't around now, so I'll ask the butler from the old mansion to send some people to clean up. We'll go to the cabin to celebrate the festival."

Eudora shook her head and said, "There's no need for that! I've almost finished tidying up the things by myself. Do you think I'm a lazy good- for-nothing? I used to do everything on my own in the past!"

Amos shook his head while replying, "Of course you're not a good-for-nothing. I just don't want you to be tired!"

"How could I be tired with just a few things? It's fine, I can settle it on my own!"

Although Naomi had initially been reluctant to go to the mountains, Eudora still forced her to go along since it was a festive celebration.

The fact that the mobile phone signal might be weak in mountains concerned Naomi. Hence, she sent a message to Nelson on her way to the mountain.

Obviously, Benedict still failed to understand her at the moment.

He begrudgingly laid down in the other hammock beside her.

"We will talk about it in the future when I understand it. As for now, all I know is that I like you."

Simply not bothering to pay him more attention, Naomi closed her eyes again.

Benedict looked at her side profile dejectedly for a long while.

To him, the most unendurable suffering in the world was not unrequited love. It was the way Naomi had regarded his confession of love as a kid's tantrum.

They were going to celebrate Thanksgiving at night.

When Naomi and Benedict returned from the woods, the yard had already been decorated.

There were fairy lights hung around the yard, decorated with fall flowers. Swaying in the wind, the scene looked beautiful.

In recent years, the three families would celebrate the festivals together. Naomi was not as happy as she had been when she was a child, because she was missing a particular someone.

She couldn't help but wonder whether Nelson was lonely or not at the moment.

Just as she was thinking about it, a thick cloud of smoke drifted out from the kitchen.

Benedict hurriedly stood up and asked, "Is something on fire?"

The next second, Naomi had already rushed over with a bucket of water.

As soon as she reached the kitchen, she saw Tina running out of the kitchen, covered in smoke.

"There's no fire! It's just that something went wrong when I was cooking!"

Christopher was behind her. Exasperated, he thought to himself, "It has been so many years, but my wife's cooking skills haven't improved at all!"

"I'm sorry, everyone. I don't think there will be any ingredients left for our dinner!"
