My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

"No, they haven't!" Culver spoke lightly, but the harsh tone in his voice could not be masked at all.

Aaron did not dare to ask any more questions. He hung up on the call instantly and went to arrange it.

Culver, on the other hand, stood there for a while. When he recalled that Naomi wanted to go somewhere with him the next day, he opened his wardrobe and looked through his clothes. It was his first official date, therefore he should prepare for it, shouldn't he?

Abroad, it was night time.

For young people, night was when the fun began.

Sierra sat in the middle of a brightly-lit bar. She was surrounded by some of her friends who had been invited there that day.

Truth be told, when Eddison walked to the door, he felt a little hesitant and backed away a little.

Sierra had said that they were going to have dinner, but why had the venue turned out to be a bar? However, before he turned around, he heard Sierra calling out to him. "Eddie? You're here? Why haven't you come in yet?"

Eddison stayed quiet. Sierra probably understood what he was struggling with, therefore she gave him an explanation.

"I don't like such places, but the other students do. As the host, I should respect everyone's opinions. Well, just treat it as if you're doing this for me, okay?"

Only then did Eddison reluctantly nod his head and follow Sierra inside.

Sierra pointed to the place where they were meeting that day as she walked.

"Although it's a bar, I found a quiet semi-private room. If you don't want to talk later, just stay by my side and I'll protect you."

Eddison opened his mouth and said, "I don't need protection!"

"I can protect you instead!" Eddison said inside his head.

Sierra could not help but tease him again, "Are you being shy? Did you forget that I used to protect you when you first came to the school?"

Eddison shook his head, "Of course not."

"That's right! I am your senior, and it's my responsibility to protect you..."

When Sierra finished speaking, she realized that there was no response from Eddison at all. She glanced sideways and followed Eddison's gaze and caught a glimpse of the private room she had just talked about. The situation seemed a little off at the moment.

Several male students were surrounding a girl and saying something to her. The girl was so bashful that her face turned red. She was caught amongst them and she could not avoid them. She curled up in the middle of the group like a little rabbit.

That rabbit was none other than Rachel, who had just been invited as well. The few people who surrounded her were the ones who had made a scene at school that morning.

Sierra hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "What are you all doing? You're scaring her!"

They already had alcohol in their systems, and they did not look as sensible as they did at school that morning.

When they saw Sierra, they did not back down either. They teased her with a smile.

They teased her with a smile, "Sierra, what are you talking about? We aren't hooligans. It's just that this new student looks so cute, and we want to talk to her!"

Sierra looked at them and said, "How can you talk to her in that way? She obviously does not want to talk now!"

"Then, we'll talk to you instead!"

Sierra immediately took a step back and said, "Hey, don't cause any trouble here."

"Then, don't stop us from chatting with her! You should just mind your own business!"

After that, they surrounded Rachel again. Sierra wanted to stop them again but was pushed away by one of them.

"Sierra, why are you being so nosy right now?"

Sierra had just recovered from a serious illness and she was originally not in good health as well. After being pushed, she bumped into Eddison who had been standing still since they had come in. Eddison simply supported her as he asked, "Are you alright?"

Sierra shook her head. "I'm fine!"

Rachel kept her head down the whole time, but she knew that Eddison had arrived. As soon as Eddison entered the door, she already knew of his presence.

It wasn't uncommon for her to be so sensitive. Sometimes even if one didn't see someone coming in, they could still feel their presence. That unique feeling could only happen when it came to one's crush. She thought about how she would explain to Eddison why she was being surrounded by them.

However, she did not expect that when he saw that she was being surrounded, he looked as expressionless as he was in the morning.

She could not help but make up an excuse for him in her heart, thinking that he was a person who did not like to speak up. He was born that way therefore she had nothing to say about it!

However, she was defeated by her own thoughts again. She did not expect that he would be indifferent to her and that he would only care about Sierra.

She knew that she should not be so sensitive, but her intuition told her that Eddison treated Sierra differently!

Just as she thought about that, she heard a scream.

"B*stard, how dare you hit me?"

Rachel was stunned and hurriedly raised her head. She saw that Eddison had fought with the few people who were just causing trouble.

Those people started to fight him together, but Eddison was not so easily defeated.

Soon, the originally lively room was turned into a

mess.

Those who were beaten up were so scared that they got up and ran away.

Rachel also got up to take a look at Eddison. However, before she could get in front of him, she saw Sierra thanking Eddison with a smile.

"You even said that you were going to protect me! Why did you start fighting so quickly? Do you know you're too old to do that kind of stuff? I see that you have changed after your trip back home! You've become so bold now!"

Eddison pursed his lips, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Rachel standing there with her head down.

He could not help but frown. When he wanted to say something, Rachel looked over again, but he looked away.

After such an incident, they would not be able to have dinner together.

Soon, everyone dispersed. Sierra's boyfriend, Jairus, came to pick her up and she left happily.

When she was about to get into the car, Sierra thought of Rachel.

"I forgot to ask you, Rachel, but where do you live now? It's so late, and it's not safe for a girl to go back alone. Eddison, send her back!"

After she said that, without waiting for Rachel's reply, Sierra looked at Eddison again.

"Can you do that?"

Eddison responded with a hum, agreeing to her request.

When Sierra saw Rachel remain silent, she thought that Rachel was afraid

Therefore, she explained to Rachel, "Don't worry. Eddison is a nice guy! Don't worry, he will send you home safely. I'll see you tomorrow!"

They waved goodbye at each other and left.

In the end, only Rachel and Eddison were left. They stood quite far away from each other. One of them was picking their nails, and the other was standing there in silence.

Then, a waiter came and asked them, "This room has been checked out. Is it okay for the both of you to leave so I can clean the room?"

Rachel nodded and said, "Okay!"

After that, she turned around and went out, and Eddison followed her silently.

Rachel did not take the initiative to talk to Eddison. After she went out, she went straight to the roadside to hail a taxi. However, all of them were filled with gangsters who took women lightly. Rachel was so scared that she did not get into any of the cars.

Eddison walked over and said, "Get in!"

Rachel turned her head away and ignored him.

She knew that Bianca had reminded her countless times that girls were supposed to be virtuous and decent and not get mad at their husbands for no reason. However, she was really in a bad mood that day, and she was set on not doing what she was told.
