My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 1135

Eddison turned back as he heard Amos' voice. Amos and Jarred happened to come out from the study

room.

They had probably overheard his conversation with Eudora just then.

At the thought of that, he no longer beat around the bush as he said candidly, "I won't accept a forced

marriage."

Jarred burst into a rage right away. He said, "Is this how you're going to treat me?"

"The news about Rachel and me is unreal. Nothing has happened between us. If you still have doubts,

I can repeat all the details of the matter once again. It would be impossible for me to marry her."

"Do-don't go too far!"

Jarred couldn't help but cough, and Amos said coldly to his son.

Amos said coldly to his son, "Eddison, Mr. Gellert and I have already agreed that the wedding will be

held in three days. You can't go anywhere until then."

Eudora was also shocked by the announcement.

"Why is this so sudden?"

Amos smiled at Eudora and said, "It's okay, don't worry."

Eddison was utterly dumbfounded as he said, "I won't agree to this. This is your decision and it has

nothing to do with me!"

After that, he was about to leave the house.

With a look from Amos, Charlie came out of nowhere and intercepted him.

"I'm sorry to offend you, Young Master Eddison!"

"The same goes for you, Uncle Charlie!"

The two people quickly got into a fight. Although Eddison had learned some skills about fighting, he

hadn't really enjoyed the process, thus he couldn't master the skills properly. Naturally, he was

defeated by Charlie.

It didn't take long for him to be vanquished.

"Young Master Eddison, you should listen to Mr. Granger's orders. Don't make trouble!"

"Uncle Charlie, I have never begged you for anything before. If you let me go today, I will appreciate it

forever."

Charlie frowned and looked at Amos.

"The secret guards of the Granger family will only follow orders from the head of the family. I'm sorry,

Young Master Eddison!"

With those words, he walked towards Amos while grabbing Eddison's arm.

"Mr. Granger."

"Bring him back to the room. Keep an eye on him. He isn't allowed to go out."

"Yes, Mr. Granger!"

The living room then returned into a state of quietness. Upon receiving a satisfactory answer, Jarred

decided to leave.

Only then did Eudora step forward and look at Amos. She asked, "Why don't you listen to Eddison's

explanation? Perhaps he really has his own difficulties."

"Difficulties? Just listen to me and everything will be alright."

Eudora failed to comprehend his actions.

"Didn't we agree that we'll never force our children to do anything? Is there something you're hiding

from me?"

Amos replied, "No! I've already said that I am doing this for his own good. He might not be able to

understand my actions now, but he will thank me in the future!"

Obviously, Amos failed to convince Eudora.

However, she knew that she would not be able to obtain any information out of Amos if he didn't want

to say it. Hence, she simply pretended that she had been persuaded.

Her pretense, of course, could not escape Amos's eyes. Consequently, the two of them just played

dumb for the time being.

In the evening, loud noises could be heard from Eddison's room from time to time.

He was wreaking havoc inside. Tried as he might, he couldn't change Amos' decision.

He had even thrown the food out when the dinner was sent into his room.

It was not until his mobile phone rang that he realized Amos had actually forgotten to take it away.

Looking at the number on the mobile screen, which indicated that the call was from Sierra Campbell,

he hurriedly pulled himself together, and calmly picked up the call.

"Hi, Sierra!"

On the other end of the line was Sierra's laughter. She said, "Eddison, have you been very busy lately?

Why haven't you come back to school?"

Hearing Sierra's voice, whom he had a crush on, he was thrilled.

He tried his best to restrain his glee.

"Yeah, I'm busy with some issues, but I'll settle

them soon."

Sierra was still as gentle as before. She paused and said, "That's great! Take care of yourself! Oh, by

the way, I'm calling you because I want to share a piece of good news with you. Do you remember the

competition that I participated in? I took first place."

Eddison's dejection was dispelled in an instant as he asked, "Really?"

At that moment, what was left in his heart was just sheer happiness for Sierra. He told her,

"Congratulations, Sierra!"

She smiled and said, "Thank you! We all are going out to celebrate tonight. I was thinking that maybe

you could join us, so I called you. It's a pity that you haven't come back yet."

To him, her words were so tender that she lifted his spirit, just like an angel.

Eddison pursed his lips and said, "It's okay. We can have another gathering after I go back."

"Sure! Then, I'll head out now. Come back earlier!"

After saying that, she was about to hang up on the call. Eddison stopped her, "Sierra!"

"What's the matter?"

He wanted to confess his love to her, but the words stuck in his throat, "I..."

He had not dared to say anything about his feelings. As he was being grounded, he suddenly felt that

only Sierra could invigorate him.

Sierra seemed to have felt that he was about to say something but stopped on a second thought. So,

she asked, "Yes?"

"Eddie, what's wrong? You can be frank with me. I won't tell the others, okay?"

It was that kind, gentle tone of hers that caused him to be captivated by her.

He didn't want to become like a little brother to anyone, but when she spoke to him in that way with a

smile, he felt that he was enlivened.

At that moment, he seemed to have understood why Benedict was so obsessed over Naomi.

Taking a deep breath, he made up his mind.

"Sierra, I like you!"

There was a pause of half a second before she gave a chuckle.

"Eddie, I like you too!"

Upon hearing that, he was on cloud nine, feeling as if his heart had stopped. Did it mean that Sierra

had accepted his confession and liked him back too?

"Silly Eddie, of course I like you a lot! Well, they are urging us to hurry up. I have to hang up now. When

you're back, I'll treat you to a meal too. Goodbye!"

In sooth, he had failed to hear the rest of her words. 'I like you a lot!' was all he had heard.

He couldn't believe his ears.

He felt that he was the happiest person at the moment. He told himself that he must not give in for

Sierra's sake. He resolved to fight against the forced marriage.

Eudora had fallen asleep when Amos came back to their room.

Even though she had fallen asleep, her brow was still tightly knitted. It was obvious that something was Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

troubling her.

He knew that she had not been convinced of the soundness of his motives in forcing Eddison. She

must have a lot of questions to ask him.

She would always behave that way. She would rather sacrifice herself than to allow anyone around her

to get hurt.

He stretched his hand out and unknitted her brows. Then, he quietly laid down on the bed, and held her

in his arms while closing his eyes.

He said softly and affectionately, "You mean everything to me, and I will do anything for you."

He wished to stand by her side for the rest of his life.
