After they were done for the day, Amos Granger said to Clint Zuckerberg, âIâll be going home first. If anything comes up, weâll talk about it tomorrow morning.â
They had been working late recently. Today, he could finally have dinner with Eudora George.
Clintâs phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and suddenly stopped Amos. âSir, the Old Master has asked you to go back for dinner.â
Amos frowned. âDid he say what it is about?â
âNoâ replied Clint.
Amos nodded. He wanted to go over immediately, but after thinking for a while, he called Eudora.
âI have something to do, so I have to go back to the mansion for a while. See you tonight.â
âOkay!â Eudora hung up and returned to her work on the computer.
â¦
Dinner was already prepared when Amos arrived at the Granger mansion.
The extended family members had basically lost their place in the Granger family because of what had happened before. However, because of the old manâs consideration, they were still living in the mansion.
Amosâ second uncle snorted when he saw Amos coming in, but he didnât say anything else.
Amos greeted them quietly and sat down. Old Master Granger glanced at him and said, âDidnât you say that you and Eudora are a match made in heaven? How come youâre thinner than before?â
Amos frowned slightly and immediately understood why the Old Master called him back this time.
Amos found an excuse and said, âIâve been busy with the company lately.â
Old Master Granger didnât say anything more and soon the dishes were served. When dinner was over, he commanded Amos. âCome upstairs with me!â
When they left, his second aunt and uncle looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with mischief.
â¦
In the study room upstairs, Old Master Granger didnât say anything. Instead, he began to talk about the old days with Amos.
âThe thing that you asked me about the last time, Iâd thought about it for a long time after I came back. Itâs true that I didnât handle it well. I didnât take good care of you and your mother, and I let you suffer abroad for so many years. Now that youâve returned, Valiant East is also doing well. I heard that your illness is improving too, so I think itâs time for you to get married. My old comrade-in-arms, the Shelby familyâ¦â
Upon hearing this, Amos immediately interrupted him.
âI refuse!â
Old Master Grangerâs eyes turned cold. âAre you refusing because of Eudora George?â
âYes!â said Amos bluntly.
Old Master Grangerâs face gradually became dark. Soon, he sighed in exasperation. âYou might not know a lot of things. From what I see, the Meyer Family was innocent too. You will soon understand this.â
After that, he handed a recording pen to Amos.
When the recording played, a womanâs voice said, âShe was the one who killed the person my brother-in-law loved. My brother-in-law hated her so much!â
Felix Meyerâs lover?
Amos frowned. After a while, he said, âSo what? The Meyer Family is now a thing of the past.â
Old Master Granger couldnât help but say, âHow can such a sly woman enter the Granger family? She killed Felixâs lover in order to marry him. Itâs not impossible for her to pretend to be bullied by the Meyer Family on purpose just to be with you!â
âImpossible!â Amos was determined. âI believe in her.â After that, he turned around and walked out.
âFoolâ¦â Old Master Granger angrily raised his head. âIâm doing this for your own good.â
Upon hearing this, Amosâ footsteps paused slightly. âIf youâre doing this for me for my own good, then donât. Otherwise, Iâll willingly give up Valiant East.â
Old Master Granger sat on the chair. What did he just hear? He was willing to give up on Valiant East for that woman?
He regretted having felt sorry for Amos. He should have left this troublesome little pest alone from the start!
â¦â¦
When Amos arrived home, it was already ten oâclock.
Eudora had fallen asleep on the sofa in the living room. The book in her hands was only partially read, and it was lying on her chest.
Amos frowned and bent down to pick her up.
Eudora was not in a deep sleep so his actions woke her up. She was not fully conscious and her eyes looked empty.
The empty look in her eyes reminded Amos of how she looked when she climaxed. He couldnât help but feel his stomach tighten.
He hadnât had her for a long time, but her body hadnât recovered yet.
Amos held back the desire in his heart and let her go.
âWhy havenât you slept yet?â
âOh, you were not back yet, so Iâ¦â She was stunned as her words stopped halfway.
She thought that she had completely given up on Amos, but she still couldnât help but wait for him to come back.
Amosâ mood improved slightly. âAlright, but you donât have to wait for me next timeâ¦â
âOh!â Eudora responded. The next second, the man picked her up again. âLetâs go. Iâll help you take a bath.â
Eudora was stunned. âBut Iâve already taken one!â
âThen have another one.â
Like before, he put her in the bathtub and embraced her from behind. Eudora was not an ignorant little girl anymore. She could clearly feel his manhood pressing against her back with a passion.
Her heart trembled and she was about to get up in a hurry. The next second, he turned her around and faced her.
âHavenât you forgiven me yet?â
He was clearly an influential man, but right now in front of her, he was acting like a child. She could clearly see the scar on his shoulder, especially now that the two of them were facing each other, She recalled the scene of him fighting for her while disregarding his own safety.
Almost subconsciously, she touched his scar. âDoes it hurt?â
Amos shook his head. âNo,â butâ¦
All of a sudden, he felt a burst of courage. He reached out his hand and pulled her hand, placing it over his private part.
Eudora was shocked. She was about to pull her hand back, but Amos held it tightly.
âHelp me.â
âBut Iâ¦â Although Eudora had been married for three years, she had never experienced intimate love between a man and a woman. When she got together with Amos, he had been very aggressive in this aspect. She had never been in this situation before.
She immediately blushed, and she was so red that she looked like she was bleeding. Especially when she felt it moving.
âTouch it for a bit,â Amos said in a hoarse voice.
Eudoraâs heart was beating so fast that she didnât dare move, it was as if she had lost all her senses.
Amos took her hand and guided her to it.
Then, he leaned forward and kissed her directly on the lips.
The next day, when Eudora woke up, her arm felt terribly sore. She thought about what happened last night, and she immediately felt that it was the most bizarre thing she had encountered.
She didnât get up to wash until the alarm clock on the side table rang over and over again.
Today, she went out for some business dealings with Christopher Gellert as usual. Although she had yet to succeed, but ever since the press conference was held, the customers were much more polite to them and were willing to keep their information for future references.
When they came out of a company, they heard someone shouting behind them, âEudora, it really is you.â
