His kiss was gentle and affectionate, slowly dissipating the fear that was growing in her heart.
He knew her sensitive areas well. In less than a moment, Eudora was already weak in the knees, dissolving like a pool of moonlight.
Amos carried her into the back seat for the car in a swift motion. He then gently loomed over her.
The night was so quiet that even the chirps of the insects outside could be heard. Eudora was nervous as she whispered subconsciously, âNot here.â
She opened her mouth to speak, only to realize that her emotions had made her voice tempting and husky. Her words sounded as if they were an affectionate invitation instead.
Amosâ throat tightened and he almost couldnât hold himself back.
However, seeing that she was really nervous, he took a breath, kissed her on her lips, and let her go. âLetâs go home.â
â¦
The next day, when Auntie Valerie arrived at Clearwater Bay, she saw Amos coming downstairs in high spirits.
Before he left, he said to Auntie Valerie, âDonât wake her up.â
Auntie Valerie felt relieved and her eyes sparkled with joy. They finally reconciled. She was really happy.
Eudora didnât get up until about ten oâclock in the morning. A man who had been holding back for a long time was more energetic in bed than a horse on steroids.
She struggled to wash up and change her clothes. When she was about to go downstairs, her cell phone rang.
It was from the George family!
Eudora frowned and eventually picked it up.
Gordon George spoke from the other end of the phone. âAre you free today? Letâs have dinner together!â
Eudora didnât want to go, but when she thought of the question she had asked Gordon about last time, she agreed. However, she had no interest in meeting Felicia Maurice and Kesha George, so she booked a place outside.
Gordon agreed.
However, when she arrived, Eudora discovered that Gordon had brought Felicia and Kesha with him.
Frowning, she turned around and was about to leave. Felicia quickly caught up with her and stopped her. âEudora, donât do this. Itâs not easy for us to have a meal togetherâ¦â
Eudora sneered, âStop your phony act. Who is your family?â
Felicia immediately withdrew her hand. She lowered her head and did not speak.
Kesha quickly stepped forward and interrupted, âEudora, donât go too far. What did my mother do to you? How could you talk to her like this?â
âItâs okay, Kesha.â
This mother-and-daughter duo had been like this ever since Eudora was a child, acting in harmony. Eudora was not fooled, however, her father had been blinded by their antics.
Sure enough, Gordon spoke the next second.
âEudora, thatâs enough. It was Feliciaâs idea to have dinner together today. I heard everything about you from Kesha. Amos brought his lifesaver back, didnât he?â
At this point, Gordon frowned.
âIâve told you before that you wouldnât end well if you follow Amos. How could a man like him find youâ¦â
Speaking of this, Gordon paused mid-sentence, because Eudoraâs eyes had already swept over him coldly.
âShouldnât you know best why I had become like this? Back then, if it werenât for Everpeace Group, I wouldnât have been with Felix Meyer. I wouldnât have become a divorcee. But in the end, what did I get? Everpeace Group was still destroyed in your hands! You should feel sorry for my mother!â
Eudora was angry, and she made it very clear to Gordon. She spared him no mercy.
Gordon was so infuriated that he immediately scolded her, âYouâre right, youâre the best. Did I wrong your mother? What do you know? Itâs your mother who should be sorry! She hooked up with another man behind my back, and she almost dragged you into itâ¦â
Eudora glanced at Gordon incredulously. âI donât believe it. Thatâs impossible.â
How could her mother do such a thing? In her memory, her mother had always been a gentle and graceful woman.
âItâs her!â Eudora stared at Felicia. âShe must be the one who had been spouting all this nonsense, right?â
Felicia was immediately aggrieved and explained, âI didnâtâ¦â
âB*stard, donât talk nonsense here. She was the one who did it. Why are you trying to push the blame to someone else?â Gordon retorted.
Gritting her teeth, Eudora said, âI wonât believe it! Anyway, my mother has already passed away. Of course, you can say whatever you want.â
âWellâ¦â Gordon gritted his teeth and said, âDonât you want to know whether youâve been to America? Iâll tell you now â youâve been there! Your mother took you there when she went to meet her lover. You almost fell into the beastâs den. Are you satisfied now?â
Eudora was shocked and her mouth opened subconsciously. âThen why donât I remember anything? Youâre lying.â
âYou donât remember that because the incident was too traumatic for you. You had erased that part of your memory completely.â
âI still donât believe you!â Eudoraâs thoughts gradually began to become clear. âIf I really lost my memory, why do I remember all the other things? I remember everything from when I was still a child.â
Yes, she remembered everything.
She didnât want to believe that her mother was the kind of person that Gordon told her. She would never believe it.
âThatâs because your mother was afraid that you would think of what happened back then, so she asked a psychologist to hypnotize you and implant a false memory in you. Itâs all fake!â
After saying that, Gordon started to cough violently.
Felicia hurried forward to pat Gordonâs back. âGordon, youâre in poor health. Why are you straining yourself?â
Then she turned to look at Eudora and said, âEudora, donât listen to your fatherâ¦â
âShut up!â Eudora looked at her coldly. âWhich psychologist?â She would not believe in such a ridiculous thing, and she wanted to find out for herself.
Gordon regretted saying all these out loud. After all, it was all in the past and he had endured it for so many years, but unfortunately, he couldnât hold it back in the end.
Thinking of this, he sighed.
âThe psychologist is dead.â
Deadâ¦
Eudora smiled bitterly. Once again there was no way to prove it, was there?
She gave Gordon one last disappointing look and said, âI wonât believe any of it!â Then she ran out quickly.
âEudoraâ¦â Gordon sighed, but he could only watch as his daughter ran away.
When he came to his senses again, he found that his other daughter was also missing.
â¦
After listening to Keshaâs message, Wendy Liam felt as if she had been struck by lightning. It all made sense now. Was Eudora really that person from the past?
Kesha saw her surprised face and asked curiously.
âWhatâs wrong with you?â
They must not see through herâ¦
Wendy quickly withdrew her gaze and smiled at Kesha. âI didnât expect that your sister had suffered so much when she was a child. If I had known it earlier, I would have been nicer to her.â
Kesha scoffed loudly, âWhy should you be nicer to her? Look at how she behaves. Donât be deceived by her.â
Wendy pursed her lips and said, âDonât say that. Your sister is pitiful. By the way, did your father mention where that beastâs den was?â
Kesha shook her head. âHe didnât, but itâs definitely not a good place. Whenever I think of how miserable Eudoraâs childhood was, it gives me satisfaction.â
Wendy heaved a sigh of relief. âYou canât say that. In the end, sheâs still your sister.â
