âEudora, donât be angry. The Old Master may be old but he is still very childish. In fact, he always said that he misses all of you!â
Eudora didnât know what to say.
Bethany stared at Old Master Granger as if she was staring at a child. Eudora felt that the Old Master whom Bethany was talking about was not the same person whom she knew â the domineering and cold-blooded old man in front of her.
Obviously, Amos did not believe it either. The atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.
Old Master Granger coughed, âWhat nonsense are you talking about?â He then turned to call his assistant, âIâve already said that I didnât want to come here, why must you force me then? Whatâs the point of visiting this b*stard? Hurry up and push me back!â
The assistant was speechless.
Wasnât he the one who wanted to come and visit Amos?
However, the assistant dared not reveal his true intentions. He immediately walked over to wheel the Old Master away.
After the Old Master left, Bethany smiled, âEudora, are you getting used to staying in this place?â
Eudora did not have any lasting impression of Bethany. Yet, she had met with Bethany on several occasions and she seemed like a kind person,. Hence, she replied politely.
âNot too bad!â
âThatâs great. I was worried that you arenât used to living here. Everything in this room was prepared for Amos when he was here last time. Iâm afraid it might not be convenient for you. Iâll ask the servants to change it later. Also, Juju is a big girl already. Iâve arranged a room for her next doorâ¦â
âI think thereâs no need for that,â Eudora replied hurriedly.
She used to sleep on the same bed with Juju in the past. Juju had already turned five but she rarely left her motherâs side.
Bethany shook her head and said, âThis is a must. After all, she is the first grandchild in the Granger family. Anyway, Iâll make the necessary arrangements first. I will also add a childrenâs bed in your room. Juju is still a child and she might move around a lot in her sleep. It would be bad if she accidentally kicks Amosâ wounds.â
After that, she reminded him, âRemember to drink the soup. I donât know if Amos will like it, so just let me know if he doesnât.â
After that, she left.
Eudora and Amos exchanged looks of confusion.
Amos pursed his lips. He recalled what he had heard from Doctor Leon earlier. Bethany was also a victim of the arranged marriage between the two families. However, he had never disliked her.
It would be great if they could live in peace like this.
A few servants came to redecorate the room in the afternoon. It was prepared according to Amosâ liking in the past, but now, they added some feminine touch to it.
They placed a childrenâs bed in the corner of the room as well.
Eudora was a little embarrassed. Why did it feel that she and Amos were deliberately isolating Juju?
Especially from the way Amos was looking at Eudoraâ¦
Hmmâ¦
â¦
Juju had been playing with Amos for the whole day, so she quickly fell asleep at night.
Eudora wanted to fetch some water for Amosâ to wipe himself. However, he shook his head instead, âI want to take a shower.â
It was a hot day but he had not showered for days as his wound could not come in contact with water. Eudora frowned, âWhy donât you endure it for a few more days?â
Amos shook his head again, âCould you help me with itâ¦â
Eudora was taken aback.
The two of them were once very close but she had never helped him shower before. Suddenly, she felt a little awkward.
âShall I call a servant for you?â
âEudoraâ¦.â Amos gnashed his teeth, âDonât you want to help me shower?â
Bitterness tinted his face.
Eudora was helpless and she finally said, âAlright, Iâll help you.â
Amosâ expression softened a little, âLetâs get started now then!â
Eudora was speechless. Why did she have a feeling that she was being tricked?
Amosâ wound was near his shoulder. It may not be fatal, but it was very inconvenient for him to move.
There was a possibility that he might tear his wound open if he was not careful.
Therefore, Eudora was very cautious. At first, she helped him take off his shirt slowly. She regretted it immediately.
After taking off the shirt, Amosâ naked skin was exposed to her. The scent of male hormones immediately made her feel a little overwhelmed.
Especially since his shoulder was wrapped with bandages. The sight of it suddenly reminded her of the first time they met.
That fateful night, he was lying like this in the ruins and she was alsoâ¦
All of a sudden, Eudoraâs cheeks flushed and her heart began to beat faster.
She picked up the towel next to her hurriedly and was about to wipe his body when Amos stopped her, stunned, âYou havenât taken off everything yetâ¦â
Eudora was speechless.
Amos was saying that his pants were still on. However, she could barely resist ogling at his upper body. Yet, he insisted on taking his pants off too?
Eudora did not want to do it!
She blurted out, âIs it okay if you donât wash the lower half?â
âHmm?â Amos frowned, âThat wonât be good for youâ¦â
Eudoraâs mind went blank. After a while, she realized that he meant. He was saying that it would not be good for her if his lower half is not in its best state. Her heart skipped a beat and she instinctively thought of scolding him. Yet, before she could speak, her face had already turned red.
She took a deep breath and quickly helped him take his pants off. She closed her eyes and reached for the towel but she accidentally pushed the shower button. The two of them were immediately drenched.
In the end, Amos reacted quickly and turned off the shower immediately. He could not help but sigh when he saw that Eudora was already as red as a cherry.
âItâs all my fault. I embarrassed you too much, didnât I?â
Eudora was at a loss of words.
âIt would be best for you to keep quiet. You flirt as soon as you open your mouth. How could anyone stand it?â she thought.
After that, Eudora finally calmed down and helped him shower. After Amos went out of the bathroom, she took a shower too.
Perhaps it was because of the shower he had, Amos felt instantly refreshed. He seemed to have recovered a lot when he woke up the next day. He did not look ill anymore.
Eudora thought that it was time to send Juju back to school after resting for two consecutive days.
However, Eudora did not know how to resolve the impasse.
Amos had probably noticed that Eudora was troubled, so he said in a low voice, âItâs okay, Iâll arrange it!â
Eudora was surprised. She was about to ask about his plans when Amosâ cell phone rang all of a sudden.
It was Clint. âPresident Granger, will you be coming to the company today? There are some problems here.â
Amos pursed his lips, âNo, Iâm injured. Please report this to the Chairman!â
Clint was a little surprised. Amos and Old Master Granger had never been on good terms but Amos had never fallen behind on work.
It was such a sudden request and Clint did not know what was going on.
However, as his special assistant, he knew that he did not need to know about everything.
Hence, he merely nodded and hung up the phone.
Amos picked up another pancake and gave it to Eudora, âYou should eat more.â
Juju was jealous, âDaddy only give Mommy delicious food!â
