Tinaâs words were straight and precise. However, that was expected of her as she had been with Tyler for so many years. She was probably the only person in this world who truly understood Tyler.
Tyler had originally wanted Tina to marry someone else in the past, that was why he had been trying to stop her from being in a relationship with Christopher.
Now, it was her turn, wasnât it?
âNo!â Eudora shook her head frantically.
Christopher frowned. âWhatâs the reason then? Donât you dare tell me that itâs for the reasons that you had just mentioned! I donât believe that youâre someone like that!â
Eudora laughed bitterly. âHow would you know? Donât pretend that you know me very well! I have always been that kind of person. Otherwise, why did not I choose you in the past? Why did I choose Amos instead? It was because Amos was more powerful than you! Now, the Holt Family and the Nolan family are much more powerful than Amos. Thatâs why I chose the Holt Family! Is there anything wrong with that?â
Eudoraâs words were like an arrow, piercing straight into Christopherâs heart.
He had never been favored by his father all this time. Even his brother took away everything that was supposed to be his. He had always been angry because of these.
They even lied to him after that in order to have him return to the family. He realized that the fact that his father was terminally ill and was on the brink of death, were all lies.
Although he had his own career now, these events were parts of his past that he still hadnât healed from.
Eudora clearly knew about it, so she had never brought up that topic before.
However, she had deliberately said all this in front of his beloved wife.
Christopherâs expression darkened. âEudora, I know that you are in a bad mood. That is why youâre saying all these without thinking clearly. I forgive you!â
âThatâs not necessary!â Eudora blurted. âI really meant what I said and I have wanted to say these words for a long time!â
Christopher had already raised his fists and threw out a punch before she could finish her words.
However, he did not hit her. His fist landed on the wall next to her.
He had exerted a lot of strength, and his knuckles were bleeding.
Tina went up to support Christopher hurriedly. âChristopher, this is terrible. Youâre bleeding! Hurry, Iâll take you to see the doctor.â
The two of them then left in a hurry.
Eudora finally smiled after the two of them had gone far away. She laughed bitterly with tears flowing down her face.
She had hoped that Christopher would give her a good beating just now, perhaps, her heart would not hurt as much after that.
At this moment, a cute child walked past Eudora, his hands in his motherâs. When he saw how sad Eudora was, he went forward and handed a big pink cotton candy to her.
âAuntie, are you in pain because of the injection? Hereâs a piece of cotton candy for you. It wouldnât be painful anymore if you eat it!â
With tears streaming down her face, Eudora accepted the candy and tasted it.
The cotton candy was very sweet, but she still could not relieve the pain she felt in her heart after eating it. It just hurt too much.
â¦
Later in the evening in the Holtâs residence.
Tyler sat alone at the table as he looked at all the delicacies on the table.
He was the one who had ordered his servants to make these dishes, and they were all based on Eudoraâs liking. Tyler was unsure if she would like them, so he was a little nervous.
The clock on the wall slowly reached seven oâclock, and the sun was slowly setting.
Tyler could not help but ask Hodge, âIs she back yet?â
Hodge shook his head. âNo, Mr. Holt. Why donât you eat first? You are not in good health. Your tummy might get upset if you eat cold food!â
âItâs alright. I will wait a little longer.â
Tyler smiled, after thinking about it, he called Hodge. âAsk someone to go to the wine cellar to bring me some wine! Red wine is great. Young people will definitely like it!â
Tyler seemed to be in a really good mood today. He even smiled when he was talking.
Hodge felt a little bold as well as he tried to have a conversation with Tyler.
âMr. Holt, is there any reason you are so happy today?â
Tyler smiled again. âOf course there is. This is the first dinner I am going to have with my daughter. Furthermore, Eudoraâs business has just started today. An opening day. Double the occasion, double the happiness. How could I not be happy?â
Hodgeâs mouth twitched. Having his dinner with his daughter for the first time was indeed a happy thing. However, the milkshake shopâ¦
He had vaguely heard about it. There were many complaints from employees. Could this be considered a happy news?
However, Hodge dared not say anything. After all, Mr. Holt was the one who had started the business. As long as he was in a good mood, he had the rights to give it to anyone he liked.
There was nothing that outsiders could do about it.
Hodge smiled. âYou are right!â
At this moment, they heard the voice of a servant greeting someone. âMiss Eudora, youâre back!â
Hodge suddenly said with a smile, âI will get the wine right away.â
Tyler nodded. He could not help but turn to look in Eudoraâs direction.
When Eudora entered the door, he turned back hurriedly and pretended to look at the newspapers with his head lowered.
To his surprise, Eudora did not come over. She walked past the living room and was ready to make her way upstairs. She did not even raise her head.
Tyler was unhappy. He quickly stood up and called her.
âHow dare you! Donât you know how to greet your family when you come back?â
Eudora was in a terribly sour mood. She did not have many friends since she was young. However, she had just offended every single one of her friends just now.
She had reverted to how she was when she was younger-a loner. No matter what she was feeling, no matter how her day was, she would not have anyone to share it with anymore.
She was really, really sad. She did not even have the strength to speak.
Therefore, she did not pay much attention to manners or etiquette.
She did not expect to be taught a lesson by Tyler! She pursed her lips and suppressed the thought of shouting in her heart. She replied in a low voice, âIâm sorry.â
Then, she started to make her way upstairs again.
Tyler shouted again, âDidnât we agree to have dinner together? Where are you going?â
Only then did Eudora notice that there were many delicious dishes on the table. There were all kinds of dishes that her mother used to make for her when she was young.
Back then, these were her favorite dishes too.
Seeing that she had looked over, Tyler finally smiled. He then said, âCome and take a look. Do you like these dishes? If they arenât suited to your liking, I could always ask the servants to make new ones for you.â
Looking at his smile, Eudora, who had been trying hard to suppress her anger, suddenly felt that she could not hold it back anymore.
How could he smile like that? He was so despicable to break up her happy family. If it werenât for him, she would not have betrayed her family and loved ones. How could he still smile?
Eudora took a deep breath. She told herself that she must not get angry!
She did not know what a person like Tyler would do. Even if it was for Amosâ sake, she could not lose her temper.
Hodge walked in from outside at this moment. He was holding a bottle of wine, and he smiled happily at Eudora.
âMiss Eudora, Mr. Holt knew that you were coming back, so he asked me to open a bottle of wine. Would you mind letting me know if youâd like this?â
Were they planning to have wine? Were they planning to celebrate?
Eudora could not hold it back anymore. She snatched the bottle of red wine and smashed it hard onto the ground.
