My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 168

Christopher was stunned. He had been treating Juju like his own daughter over the years. This child

was willing to get close to him, but he became a little uncertain because of her sudden question.

"What's wrong?"

Juju smiled and said, "Nothing, Uncle Gellert, you treat me very well, but I don't know why I kept

thinking about the uncle who was sitting in the wheelchair just now. Mommy, he's so pitiful!"

A chill immediately went down Eudora's spine. Was it really because they were father and daughter?

Juju had only seen him twice, but she was already so fond of him.

She hurriedly said with a stern voice, "Juju, that uncle has his own family too, how could he be pitiful? If

you see him again, try not to interact too much with him."

Juju was stunned. "Does that uncle have his own child? Is his child cuter than me?"

She seemed to be jealous.

Eudora frowned and said, "No, but he is not related to us. We shouldn't poke into other people's

businesses."

After that, she put Juju down and said, "You should head in first. I have something to talk to Uncle

Gellert."

Juju was still a little ravelled, but she was a sensible child.

Seeing that Eudora didn't want to tell her, she made her way into the room quickly.

After Juju left, Eudora frowned and looked at Christopher. "I'm sorry, Juju doesn't know anything."

Christopher shook his head. "You don't have to apologize to me. Juju is just curious about other men

because she doesn't have a father. If she has a father, she won't pay attention to others."

His words carried meaning. Eudora couldn't help but look at Christopher.

"I know that you are doing this for my own good, but I don't want to drag you into this mess." Eudora

said, "I have never been at ease for getting you involved five years ago. Now that the opportunity has

finally come for the studio, you should seize it. Did you forget about what you have said to me five

years ago when we left together? Didn't you want your father and brother to see you in a new light?"

Christopher smiled bitterly and said, "It's not the first time you have rejected me anyway. Forget about

it, let's not talk about this anymore."

Eudora breathed a sigh of relief. "Then what are you planning to do now that you are back?"

Christopher smiled and said, "Do I need to do anything else? You are already so famous! They were

gobsmacked when I showed them my business card. My father even said that he would let me manage

the new property!"

Eudora was stupefied. A smile then crept across her face. "That's great! Finally, all the efforts that you

have put in all these years are not in vain." "Of course, the efforts will not be in vain."

"Yes!" Eudora nodded. "Are you staying here then?"

"Of course not! Do they think that I'll forgive them just because they have decided to treat me well? I'm

not that kind! What's more, I've already gotten used to living with you and Juju over there. Of course, I'll

go back with you."

Eudora opened her mouth and wanted to tell Christopher to not worry about them.

But on second thought, Christopher probably had his own plans, so she kept her thoughts to herself.

After putting Juju to sleep, Eudora continued with her work.

She had decided that after the design was completed, she would ask her assistant to stay here and

watch over the construction, whereas she and Juju would return to Italy.

Her assistant understood her ideas very well anyway. If anything went off track in the project, they

could just have the video call to clarify the doubts.

Thinking of this, Eudora went to make herself a cup of coffee and sat down to continue to work on the

design.

After a busy night, Eudora was awakened by the ringtone of her mobile phone.

The sound shrilled repeatedly.

Eudora quickly picked it up, and it was her assistant. "Eudora, I'm sorry but I have just received a

phone call from my family this morning. My father was involved in an accident and he was injured so I

have to return to Italy immediately to take care of him."

Eudora's heart sank and she hurriedly asked, "Is it serious? Do you have enough money?"

"Yeah, I do, but I might be away for quite some time because his injuries are a little serious. He

fractured his bones this time."

"It's okay. You don't need to worry about it. Your father's well being is more important than anything

else." Eudora said, "Just call me if you need my help."

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Eudora realized that it would be harder for her to leave if her assistant left.

It was a pity that she only had one assistant and they were so far away from Italy. It seemed that she

couldn't leave anytime soon.

When Christopher came in, she told him about it.

Christopher was way calmer than she was. "It'll be fine. I will take care of you and Juju. You can stay

here and continue to shine."

Eudora laughed and said, "But I mustn't trouble you anymore. You must have your own things to do

too. I'll bring Juju with me."

Christopher frowned and said, "It's not safe to bring her to the construction site."

"It's okay. I'll let her follow Davy around."

Christopher sighed silently. It had been five years, but she was still so polite with him. She still wasn't

willing to trouble him.

Eudora really brought Juju along with her to the construction site. Davy was very fond of Juju and he

had been playing with her all day long.

Everything seemed fine to her, so Eudora went upstairs. There were still some things that she didn't get

to measure the day before, so she needed to verify it again.

After being busy for a while, she suddenly thought of taking a break to spend some time with Juju, so

she turned around and went downstairs.

However, there was no one in the office.

She was startled and rushed out of the office. She bumped into Davy and asked, "Where's Juju?"

Davy was also stunned. "She went upstairs to look for you. I watched her go upstairs."

"No! I didn't see her at all!" Eudora's heart began pounding. There were a lot of dangerous things lying

around at the construction site, such as nails, glass, and construction materials.

Juju was just a child, she mustn't run around like this, let alone in a construction site!

Davy knew the severity of the matter too. This child meant everything to Eudora, so he hurriedly asked

everyone to stop what they were doing to look for Juju.

However, after looking through the whole building, she could not find any traces of Juju. At the same

time, Juju had already gone upstairs, but when she saw that her mother's face was covered with sweat,

she turned around and went downstairs again.

She took out the pocket money that her mother gave her from her tiny bag. She wanted to buy her

mother a bottle of water.

However, Juju didn't expect that she would get lost on the way back.

She looked at her surroundings with her big eyes but she couldn't find the way back.

There were too many cars here, unlike in Italy. Juju, who had never left Eudora's side, suddenly wanted

to cry.

But she remembered her mother's words. Eudora said that girls should be strong. She remembered

her mother telling her that crying would not solve any problems.

Only when Juju was calm that she could come up with a solution. Therefore, Juju should not be

anxious. She must calm down.

After taking a deep breath, Juju saw that there was someone on the other side, hence she thought of This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

going over to ask for directions. However, as soon as she took a step forward, a car came rushing

towards her.
