Amos was a little confused about the situation.
However, he did not move. He looked at Tyler calmly as he usually did. Based on his understanding of Tylerâs character, he knew that there was more to him than just his apology.
Sure enough, the next second, Tyler continued.
âI may have apologized, but that doesnât mean that I have agreed to you pursuing my daughter. If she comes and sees you again in the future, it will solely be because the Holt Family is sorry for the damage we have caused to you. I hope that there wouldnât be a misunderstanding between us because of this!â
Amos smiled faintly as he said, âUncle Tyler, you are only here for that last sentence, arenât you? With you around, do you think that Eudora will give me a chance?â
He did not look like he was lying, and even Tyler hesitated in his heart.
âWhat? Has Eudora told you everything?â
Amos nodded. âYes, she is very heartless. Not only did she tell me everything, but she even offended all my friends! I have never seen her like this before.â
Realization dawned on Tyler. It was no wonder Eudoraâs temper was so terrible that day. She had made such a difficult decision. It was no wonder she had become so miserable.
Tyler felt a little relieved. âSince you already know, all about it, then you should understand what she wants. As the most powerful businessman in Rosaville City, I hope that you could let this matter go! Eudora needs to start a new life from now on.â
Amos did not answer his question, but questioned him instead.
âMr. Holt, have you ever loved someone before?â
Tyler was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he remembered the gentle face who was always smiling at him.
She was so beautiful and so pure.
When it rained, they would share an umbrella and step on the puddles together. On sunny days, they would go out for walks hand in hand.
It was always hot and humid during summer, so he would always take her to the mall to enjoy the air conditioner. The shopping mall had various stores and there would always be wealthy women shopping there with smiles on their faces.
However, she had always said that she disliked all those things that a normal woman would love to have.
There was once he had seen a beautiful necklace at a jewelry store. He remembered that he had never given her anything before, so he brought her there to take a look at the necklace.
It was just a necklace, but it cost tens of thousands of dollars!
Back then, for a guy like him who did not even have enough money to eat, the price was simply an astronomical number. He stood there in embarrassment, and he did not know what to do.
In the end, she helped him out of the predicament. She held his hands in hers.
âIâve already told you that I donât like it. I really donât like it! Itâs too thin for me and itâs not worth the price!â
She then pulled him out of the shop under the shocked gaze of the sales assistant. When they got outside, she smiled and said, âHow was my acting?â
However, he could not smile at all! He could not even buy a good-looking necklace for his own woman. What else was he capable of?
After that, he rarely went out on dates with her. He wanted to make money, no matter how difficult, dangerous or dirty the job was.
He would do anything for money.
Finally, he personally bought her the necklace after saving enough money for over a year. Later on, she left with the necklaceâ¦
Tyler soon came back to his senses. He looked into Amosâ eyes and turned his head away hurriedly.
âWhat does that have to do with this?â
âIt has everything to do with it!â Amos replied. âIf youâve ever loved someone, you will want her to be happy instead of making her sad for your own selfish desires, such as by keeping her by your side and making her suffer.â
Tyler smiled coldly. âYouâre right. Eudora is living a good life with me now. She even started her own career. She could do whatever she wants now. Why do you still bother?â
Amos smiled and said, âThat is why I will support her decisionâ¦â
Tyler remembered how Amos had brought his men to the milkshake shop back then to help her, and he frowned.
âDonât give me all this nonsense! Iâm sure that Iâve already made myself clear,â He then turned around and went out.
Leslie and Christopher were waiting outside. When they saw him come out, Leslie greeted him in a hurry.
âMr. Holt, are you alright?â
Tyler glared at him angrily, and Christopher, who was by his side, pushed open the door hurriedly and entered the room. Tina glanced towards Tyler, then followed Christopher inside.
After they left, Tyler shot a look at the pillar and called out to the person who was hiding on the other side.
âCome out! Why are you hiding from me?â
Helen froze for a moment. She looked around, then she realized that Tyler was talking to her. She walked out from behind the pillar and trembled with fear. âWere you talking to me?â
Tylerâs gaze swept over Helenâs face, and his gaze finally rested on the flowers in her hand.
âSince you are here to visit him, why didnât you go inside?â
Helen had always been a generous and easygoing girl. Her life had always been smooth, and she had never encountered any big problems in her life.
However, she had become a little nervous ever since she had embarrassed herself in front of Amos several times back then.
She stammered, âI⦠â
âYou what? Do you need an old man like me to give you a lesson? If you like Amos, then pursue him! If you canât, then you have to think of another plan! Otherwise, you shouldnât even bother being here, just go back to where you belong!â
After that, he ignored Helenâs reaction and left with Leslie.
Leslie asked in confusion when they got in the car.
âMr. Holt, why did you talk so much to a mere passerby?â
Tyler ignored him, and he looked a little tired. After letting out a sigh, he laid on the back seat.
âIâll get some shuteye. Wake me up when we get home. Also, invite Tina back to the residence later!â
Leslie immediately shut his mouth and turned on the barrier at the back.
Tyler opened his eyes again once the barrier at the back of the car was completely up. Another scene appeared in front of his eyes.
It was about him and Emily. He had thought about pursuing Emily back after she had left him. There were many times where he had arrived at the door of the George family, but he always held back in the end.
Everyone told him that Emily and Gordon were happy to be together. Even Emily herself said that she was in bliss.
However, didnât Gordon still betray Emily in the end? Emily even died at such a young age. If she really was happy, she wouldnât have passed away that early, would she?â
Tyler had received some inside knowledge about Eudora before he went to look for her. Eudora seemed to be very happy with Amos, but the bitterness that Eudora had secretly suffered was invisible to the people outside.
However, as her father, he knew everything. He knew that he had lost a chance to rescue Emily. He would not miss his second chance.
Even if it meant that Eudora would be in great pain and that she would end up hating him. As her biological father, Tyler would never hurt her.
He believed that she would come to understand his good intentions when she would eventually forget about Amos in the future. She would finally understand the reasons behind his actions.
