My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 1139

In fact, Amos had already made up his mind. He would go to the Gellert family together with Eddison

after he released him from being grounded to elucidate the matter of their marriage.

Unexpectedly, Jarred had come first.

He was rather courteous in the face of Jarred's attitude. After all, the Granger family was in the wrong

for reneging on the agreement.

"Mr. Gellert, it's indeed our fault that we failed to keep our end of the agreement, but we will bear the

full responsibility for this matter."

Jarred's voice trembled with outrage as he said, "Take responsibility?"

"I really didn't expect your son to swindle my daughter!"

Amos was perplexed, so he asked, "Mr. Gellert, we won't shirk any responsibility in this matter.

Nevertheless, it doesn't mean that you can simply slander us!"

"Eddison has duped Jillian into giving him hundreds of thousands of dollars. Well, such an amount of

money is actually not a big deal for families like ours. However, now that Eddison has gotten the

money, he dares to refuse this marriage?!"

Eudora was also bemused by his accusation.

"Is there a misunderstanding?"

To her, Eddison was not the kind of person who would defraud other people of money.

"I have the transaction records. If you really think this is a misunderstanding, to call you naive would be

a big understatement!"

As he was speaking, he showed the evidence. Eudora took it over and looked at it. It was as clear as

day that Rachel had transferred the money to Eddison.

"I'll ask Eddison about this!"

At the same time, Eddison was having a wonderful time, talking to Sierra on the phone in the balcony.

Sierra's 'I like you the most!' had supported him mentally for the past few days, making him have the

bravery to hold out against Amos' orders.

What was more, he had received a call from her on the first day he was released. He thought it was an

auspicious start for their relationship.

He couldn't wait to share his excitement with her, "Sierra, I-''

However, she had something to tell him too.

"Eddison, have you come back to school? I have good news for you!"

"I also have good news for you. You go first!”

She dropped a bombshell by saying, "I'm dating someone! He confessed his love to me in front of all

the girls in the school yesterday, and I have agreed to be with him!"

Upon hearing that, Eddison grasped his phone tightly in despondency.

In choked desolation, he stood still on the balcony. At that moment, his heart was laden with nothing

but sadness.

Sierra, who was at the other end of the line, kept shouting, "Eddison, did you hear me?"

He finally came to his senses, and he pursed his lips before replying to her.

"Didn't you say that you like me the most?"

Sierra was stunned for a moment. Then, she replied, "Yes, of course I like you! I don't have any

brothers of my own. So, I've always doted on you like a little brother!"

A little brother?

It turned out that she only regarded him as her brother.

He suddenly understood Benedict's feelings back then.

He wanted to ask if she really liked her boyfriend or if there was another reason for her to agree to be

with him.

However, she had already told him the reason before he could ask so.

She said that she had never met someone who treated her so well, and she felt overjoyed upon

meeting him.

Eddison realized that Sierra was resolved in her decision. Therefore, he spoke no more.

To argue or to push on further would only humiliate him more.

"Sierra, be happy!"

"Thank you. He's the most mature and dependable man I have ever seen. I will be happy with him. By

the way, what about you? When do you plan on getting a girlfriend yourself?"

Eddison replied dejectedly, "I don't know either. Maybe I won't do so throughout my life."

"Cheer up! You are so charming and urbane, I bet you'll meet your Mrs. Right one day. I believe in

you!"

When Eudora came to Eddison, he had already been standing on the spot for a very long time.

The elation on his face was replaced with sorrow.

Eudora was disconcerted by his look.

"What's going on?" Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Eddison shook his head and said, "Why is it so noisy outside?"

"Oh, it's Mr. Gellert. Let me ask you, why did you borrow half a million dollars? Mr. Gellert claimed that

you took the money from Rachel. Is that true?"

To be precise, Jarred had used more unpleasant words in describing Eddison's actions, including the

words 'swindle' and 'dupe'.

Eddison wasn't a fool. He understood the situation at once after analyzing the details he knew.

"It must be her!"

He had been wondering why Yvonne had been willing to help him during his hard times back in the day

when everyone avoided him like the plague.

Doubtlessly, they had never met each other before. At that moment, he thought about it carefully.

Perhaps he had been set up from the very beginning when he helped Yvonne to get her handbag back.

Eudora was mystified. "Who are you talking about?" she asked.

"It doesn't matter now. I'll go and have a look!"

After finishing his words, he went straight out.

Looking at his back, Eudora felt that Eddison had grown up in an instant. He seemed to have turned

from a boy to a man.

She wondered what had happened to him just then.

Jarred was still waiting restlessly outside.

His ego was quite inflated, and he seldom lost his composure in front of others.

However, he had put his dignity aside and argued with the Granger family for Jillian's sake.

He and Amos were left in the living room. He was about to drink the tea served by Cindy when he saw

Eddison coming out from a room.

The cup of tea, which he had just picked up, was put back onto the table right away.

"You've come just in time. I guess you already know what's going on. Just tell me, how are you going to

solve this problem?"

Eddison's lips curled up upon hearing that.

He walked truculently towards Jarred, as if he was about to beat him.

Both Charlie and Cindy were astounded by him, and they almost went up to stop him. If he really hit Mr.

Gellert, the Granger family would definitely be crucified severely by the media.

Charlie was about to stretch his hand out to stop Eddison, but Amos gave him a look, indicating that he

should not interrupt.

Although Charlie failed to understand why, he obeyed Amos's orders and held back.

Then, Amos looked at his son and spoke to him.

Eddison stopped and said, "You're imposing an impossible task on me!"

Eddison was clearly in a dilemma about how to tackle the problem. He couldn't do anything without

damaging the relationship between the two families, unless he agreed to marry Rachel.

Trustworthy?

Who were they to call him untrustworthy?

Shortly afterwards, he clenched his fists and said, "Okay, I'll marry Rachel!"

"Sugar Bun, you—"

Eudora still wanted to say something, but Amos already spoke up before she did.

"Have you made up your mind resolutely?"

Eddison gritted his teeth and answered, "Yes, I have. Didn't you say I should be trustworthy? All right,

I'll do it, but you all will be sorry for this someday!"
