The assistant gasped and hurriedly excused herself.
Amos handed Eudora the mineral water and said, âDrink it.â
âPresident Granger.â Eudora gritted her teeth. âI donât know why you are doing this, but you shouldnât waste your time on me. Iâm not interested in you.â
âReally?â Amos raised his eyebrows. âItâs alright. I have plenty of time anyway. All that matters is that Iâm interested in you.â
âHeâs got nothing better to do, does he?â Eudora frowned.
âMr. Granger, have you forgetten that Iâm married? Itâs not right for you to do this.â
Sure enough, at this moment, Amos finally fell silent. Eudora breathed a sigh of relief because she had finally found a way to deal with him.
Seeing that he refused to move, Eudora quickly walked past him to leave.
However, he immediately followed her in his wheelchair.
âAmy, female, a well-known interior designer in Italy. Graduated from the Milanâs Design School. Currently single and has a daughter. Owns a design studioâ¦â
Eudoraâs heart sank gradually as he revealed her information bit by bit.
He had already found everything out!
However, on a second thought, it was not difficult for him to find out about all these. Eudora knew what kind of person Amos was. She couldnât hide her whereabouts when she came back. Since he could come here, it was likely that he had already found out about her past.
Eudora gritted her teeth as she said, âSo what? What Iâm doing now has nothing to do with you, and I wonât be threatened by you anymore.â
Hearing this, Amosâs eyes dimmed. âI wonât threaten you anymore.â
Eudora sneered, âBut you are threatening me right now. Youâve found everything out about me and you are even telling me that you know I have a daughter. Are you trying to threaten me with my daughter? Let me get this straight. Donât you even think of doing that. My daughter means everything to me. If you dare to lay your finger on her, I will definitely kill you!â
She looked determined and perhaps even a little hysterical. Itâs obvious that her daughter was her entire world.
Amos didnât know who was so lucky to have her. He could feel a dull pain in his heart when he thought of the time when he wanted to have a child with her. His heart ached even more when he recalled how his plans all turned to dust.
After a long pause, he finally spoke in a low and hoarse voice, âNo, I wonât hurt you again, nor will I hurt your daughter!â
âThen please leave!â Eudora said, âI donât want to see you.â
Amos nodded. After a long time, he approached her, put the bottle of water next to her feet, and turned around to head back downstairs.
It was not until she saw his figure had disappeared that Eudora finally came back to her senses.
Did he really leave?
However, Amos was never a simple and easygoing man. Since he knew about her existence, it was unknown what he would do to her in the future.
It would be better to finish her work quickly and return to Italy as soon as possible instead of staying here in fear.
She would only be relieved once she was back in Italy, a place which was not Amosâ territory.
Thinking of this, she quickly lowered her head and continued where she had stopped.
She had been busy for a whole day so she was extremely hungry when she got off work.
She was thinking about what to have for dinner when she heard Jujuâs sweet voice. âMommy!â
Eudoraâs heart softened, and all the exhaustion dissipated from her body when she heard her daughterâs voice.
She rushed forward and picked up her daughter. âWhat are you doing here?â
Juju replied in a soft voice, âBecause I missed you!â
Eudoraâs heart was melting. âAre you hungry? Letâs eat something delicious!â
Juju was a foodie. As soon as she heard about food, her eyes lit up instantly. âYes!â
Christopher hurriedly carried Juju over and said, âLet me carry her. You must be tired.â
Eudora shook her head and said, âItâs alright, let me carry her. Iâm not tired.â
Her daughter was her entire world. How could she be tired?
â¦
At the same time, after Amos ended a meeting with his client, he saw Wendy standing at the door and looking at him with an expectant look on her face.
Wendy rushed over to him when she saw him coming out. âAmos, what a coincidence!â
Amos knew that it wasnât a coincidence, but he didnât expose her. He said lightly, âWhat are you doing here?â
âI happened to have something to attend to here but I saw your car parked outside so I waited for a while. It has only been two days since I last saw you, but you are not looking too great. Are you not feeling well?â
Amos shook his head. âNo.â
Wendy continued, âMy hand has gotten so much better now. I took an injection too. You donât have to worry about me.â
Amos was still indifferent, but the driver couldnât help but think to himself, âMiss Liam, President Granger doesnât seem like he is worried at all, does he?â
When Amos was about to turn around, Wendy spoke again.
âI heard that the food at this hotel has received great reviews. Why donât we have a try?â
Amos frowned and was about to say something when he suddenly saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eyes.
The woman was carrying a child with a smile on her face.
But when he saw the man behind the woman, his face fell again.
It was Christopher Gellertâ¦
Amos frowned. Although he knew that Christopher had always been by her side throughout the years, he was still a little unhappy when he saw it with his own eyes, especially when he saw that Juju had such a good relationship with Christopher.
If she could pick stepfather for Juju, she would probably choose Christopher, wouldnât she?
Amos pursed his lips when he thought of that. Wendy followed his gaze but at the next second, Amos turned around and blocked her sight.
âI still have something to attend to at the office. Iâll ask the driver to send you home!â
Wendy was stunned. Before she could refuse, Amos had already reached out his hand and pushed her into the car.
The driverâs cooperation was flawless. He immediately stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
When the car finally disappeared from his sight, Amos turned around and followed the trio.
â¦
Eudora came in with Juju in her arms and found a place to sit down. Eudora had always craved for the food back home when she was in Italy. She had tried cooking it herself, but it was never as good. There was always something lacking in the flavor.
It was not easy for her to come back here, so she must satisfy her cravings.
Eudora made up her mind and ordered six dishes at one go. However, there were only the three of them, so she might have over-ordered.
Christopher noticed her that she was torn between Beef Wellington and Bouillabaisse. In the end, she only ordered one of them. Before the waiter left, Christopher quickly said, âWeâll get the Bouillabaisse too!â
âNo!â Eudora said hurriedly, âItâs too much. It would be a waste if we couldnât finish it.â
âIt wonât be a waste!â Christopher smiled and said, âYou and Juju donât get to come back often. Youâd better eat to your heartâs content and not waste anything.â
Upon hearing this, Amos, who was sitting at the table next to them, could only let out a bitter smile.
Eudora didnât change at all. She was still the indecisive woman that she was before. However, Amos was no longer the person sitting opposite her.
While Amos was deep in his thoughts, the waiter came in to take his order. After thinking for a while, he decided to order what Eudora had ordered.
âIâll have whatever they are having!â
