My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 941

Normally, Amos would indulge the children and mollycoddle them but when it came to educating them,

he was extremely strict.

Eudora's intervention on the children's behalf would not work either.

After the punishment was done, Eudora saw Naomi returning to her room. She quickly got up and

followed her.

"Naomi, sit down. I'll rub some ointment on your legs, or your legs will feel sore at night!"

Naomi shook her head and said, "There's no need for that. I have to go to the hospital!"

Eudora paused for a moment before asking, "Naomi, do you really like Nelson that much?"

Eudora felt a sense of incredulity at the fact that being in love had addled Naomi's mind as she had NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

always been very calm and sensible.

Naomi was already in her twenties, wasn't she?

The only time she had disobeyed Eudora was when she had wanted to go to Leslie's place and learn

self-defense skills from him more than ten years ago, and the purpose behind her actions had been to

protect her mother after all.

As a matter of fact, this was the only time Naomi was going against Eudora and Amos for her own

sake.

She was doing so for the sake of a man, whom she had only known for a short time.

Hearing Eudora's question, Naomi paused briefly before she nodded and said, "Yes!"

She looked at her mother gravely.

"Mom, it's true! I like him very much!"

"Why?" Eudora was curious.

Naomi pursed her lips and replied, "He reminds me of my childhood memories. I feel really happy when

I'm with him. I think that I will live a blissful life with him just like you and Dad!"

Eudora reminded her, "A blissful life can't be achieved just because you want one! Your relationship

won't last long if you are merely relying on your feelings. The most important thing is the tolerance

towards each other."

Naomi explained, "Mom, of course he tolerates me! Have you forgotten that he saved my life?"

"Then, tell me the reasons you're attracted to him. You've only known him for such a short time. Can

you tell me his strengths and shortcomings?"

Naomi was stunned briefly before she retorted, "Did you know about Dad's strengths and shortcomings

at the start of your relationship?"

Eudora choked up while Naomi's attitude drew a stern rebuke from Amos.

He scolded, "It seems that the punishment just now wasn't enough for you. How dare you talk to your

mother that way?"

Naomi said defiantly, "I'm telling the truth. Nobody can guarantee that someone will completely

understand their partner from the beginning. Aren't we supposed to get to know a person gradually

through constant communication?"

"You..." Amos was about to fly into a rage, but Eudora stretched her hand out to stop him.

She shouted, "Stop!"

Naomi took advantage of this opportunity to run out.

Amos frowned and said, "You can't cosset her like that anymore!"

Eudora pursed her lips and said, "I know, but I can't bear to hurt her feelings. She has suffered too

much since she was a child. Her eyes lit up when she talked about Nelson just now. Throughout these

years, she has never been so eager to do something except to learn self-defense. This time, I think we

have to let her be!"

As Amos furrowed his brow, they heard the voice of the referee from the shooting gallery.

"Mr. Granger, here are the records of the match."

Amos let go of Eudora and went over to take the notebook.

Flipping through the pages, he found that the final score for Nelson was ninety-nine points.

Seeing Amos read through the notebook, the referee couldn't help but praise Nelson.

"That young man was really good. He's very responsible and respectful. I've checked the targets and it

seems like it's not impossible for him to defeat you, but I think he deliberately pretended to lose to

you..."

Hearing that, Amos rolled his eyes at him.

The referee immediately changed his words, "M-Mr. Granger, what I mean is, he stands a chance, uh,

no! It's possible! It's possible for him...no! I mean, he has little hope to win. So, I'll give him..."

"Zero points!"

Before the referee could finish his words, Amos had already raised his hand and changed the final

score recorded on the notebook to zero.

As the referee was dumbfounded, Amos closed the door behind him with a bang.

The referee was dumbstruck.

He wondered, "Since he intended to give the young man zero points, why did he ask me to evaluate

him at the beginning?"

Amos went into the room angrily and sat on the sofa.

"That guy, Nelson, is really good at pretending!"

Eudora asked in reply, "What if he wasn't?"

"That's impossible! If he was truly sincere, knowing that we don't like him, he should have sent Naomi

back right away! He should have tried to find a way to make Naomi leave him! Instead, he intentionally

pretended to be obedient and courteous in front of Naomi and incited her to come back and quarrel

with us!"

After that, he suddenly coughed.

Eudora hurriedly patted his back and said, "You keep reproving me for not taking good care of myself.

However, look at yourself. You're suffering from some mild problems with your lungs from the explosion

last time, so you should hold back your anger more! You only know how to take care of others, but you

don't know how to take care of yourself."

While speaking, Eudora got up and went to get his medicine.

"Take them!"

After Amos ate his own medicine, he ran to take

Eudora's vitamin supplements and said, "You should eat too."

They looked at each other and laughed.

It just so happened that Nelson had just been examined by a nurse when Naomi arrived at the hospital.

Naomi stopped the nurse and asked about his condition. The nurse replied sulkily, "Did you even take

proper care of the patient? Knowing that he has just been injured, you still took him out for intense

exercise. Fortunately, the patient is in good health, otherwise he would suffer from sequelae in the

future!"

Naomi bowed her head and apologized, "I'm sorry. We'll be more careful in the future."

As they were talking, they heard Nelson's voice as he called out, "Naomi? You're here?"

Naomi pushed open the door and went in. She replied, "Yes, it's me. How are you feeling?"

Nelson said with a smile, "I'm fine. Don't listen to what the nurse said. They all behave in that way in

the hospital, always exaggerating the illness. In reality, it's a minor issue."

His tone was casual, but from the frown on his forehead and the sweat on his face indicated that he

was not in good condition.

Naomi pursed her lips and walked over to him.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault that you're injured."

"Don't say that! I did all that willingly!"

After that, he said, "Have a seat."

Naomi shook her head and said, "It's okay. I don't have to sit! I'll pour you some water."

"I've just drank some. Please just sit down!"

Naomi dragged the chair over and paused for a moment. Then, she made an excuse by saying, "I'm

going to buy a bunch of flowers for you!"

After saying this, she turned around to leave without waiting for Nelson to speak. He was a little taken

aback at the sight of her stumbling steps.

It was not until Naomi left that he made a phone call to Richard.

"Naomi was punished after leaving the shooting gallery today, wasn't it?"

After hanging up on the call, he laid on his sickbed for quite a while, in a daze. Then, he saw the door

being pushed open. Naomi came in slowly from outside and put the flowers on the bedside as she

asked, "Do you like them? I've picked out the most beautiful bouquet for you!"

He said nothing about the flowers. Instead, he looked at Naomi's legs and asked, "What's wrong?

Are you injured?"
