Amos burst into laughter and said, âThen let me give you a piece too, my little princess.â
Juju took the piece of pancake with a smile and said, âThank you, Daddy!â
The three of them were eating happily when the Old Master came in, âYou brat, are you challenging me now? Donât you care about the companyâs affairs anymore?â
Amos swallowed the food in his mouth casually and said feebly, âI havenât recovered yet.â
âYouâ¦.â The Old Master gritted his teeth, âI have asked Doctor Leon this morning and he said that your wound has healed and there is nothing serious. What do you want? Just tell me. Donât beat around the bush like that.â
Amos picked up his glass and took a sip of milk. âLetâs go out and talk!â
Hearing this, Eudora George glanced at him. Amos turned to flash a smile at her. âItâs alright. Wait for me.â
â¦
Amos and the Old Master were sitting across each other in the garden.
There was still contempt in the old manâs face and he said, âI know what youâre up to. Let me tell you, I wonât let you get married to that woman. Since Iâm still alive, I could still find another successor myself at mostâ¦â
âDo you still have a successor?â Amos asked pointedly and that question hit the old manâs sore spot.
âYou, you brat! I think youâd only be satisfied once I die!â As the Old Master spoke, he began to cough violently.
Amos frowned and he reached out to stroke the Old Master in the back. âWhy are you still so grumpy at such an old age? Didnât the doctor say that you should mind your temper?â
His large hand patted Old Master Granger on his back. The old man was so shocked that he even forgot to cough.
Was Amos concerned about him just now?
The old manâs expression changed slightly. He knew that he had misunderstood his son. The misunderstanding had lasted for so many years and he would never looked for Amos if his eldest son was still alive. He would not have known that he had misunderstood his mother too.
Therefore, he was ashamed to even explain it to him.
He thought that Amos would never forgive him for the rest of his life. He did not expectâ¦
After a brief moment of stupor, Old Master Granger seemed to recall something suddenly and his face darkened.
âAre you trying to please me for that woman?
Amos was at a loss of words.
âIf you really want to think it that way, then I have nothing to say. Do you think that I really need to rely on you? Since you have asked someone to check on me, you should know that the companies under my name are on par with Valiant East. I could just leave Rosaville City with Eudora and Juju to live our own lives.â
Old Master Granger got nervous when he heard that, âHow dare you!â
âWho said that I wouldnât dare?!â Amos continued, âIf you keep forcing me to do this, do you think that I wouldnât do that?â
âYouâ¦.â Old Master Granger was about to throw a tantrum again when Amos reached out and stroked his back. âI admit that I have come back here to spite you, but I finally understand now that I have Juju. I donât need you to accept Eudora and Juju immediately, but I hope that you could get rid of the prejudice you have and give them a chance. You will realize that they are definitely better than what you had imagined them to be.â
Old Master Granger remained silent. âYou want me to accept her? Impossible.â
âWhatever. Things had already reached this point and I donât mind if you want me to use a more intense method. I just thought that this is the best way for us.â
Old Master Granger was quiet and he glanced sideways at Amos.
In fact, Amos looked very similar to his mother, especially his appearance. It seemed like he had inherited his looks mostly from his mother.
Most of the time, when he saw Amos, he seemed to see his mother sitting next to him. This was also the reason why he didnât dare to see Amos previously. He had wronged his mother and he will never have the chance to make it up to her.
Yet, his thoughts seemed to have changed when he knew that he was going to die. A good person like her must have gone to heaven. What about him? He probably wouldnât have a chance to go to heaven.
When he thought about the fact he might not see her in his next life, he hoped that Amos would stay by his side, even if it was just for a short period of time.
Thinking of this, the Old Master slowly parted his lips.
âI will let them stay here, but on one condition. You canât marry her while Iâm still alive. Iâll just pretend that I donât see her!â
Amos burst into laughter, âWhatâs the point of deceiving yourself like this?â
âYou donât have to worry about that. Valiant East will be yours when I die. Canât you promise me that you wonât marry her before I die? It will only take half a year. Canât you wait?â
The Old Master was too anxious and he accidentally revealed that he only had six months left.
Then, both of them were silent. Amos kept frowning. After a long pause, he finally repeated, âHalf a year?â
However, the old man merely smiled, âWhat? Do you feel sorry for me now?â
Amos frowned, âOkay. I promise.â
âOkay!â Old Master Granger heaved a sigh of relief and his gaze relaxed a little relaxed as he stared at Amos.
Meanwhile, Eudora had gone downstairs with Juju because she was worried that Amos would argue with the Old Master again. Yet, she did not approach them when she saw the Old Master and Amos sitting there in the garden.
At this moment, the Old Master saw Eudora and Juju standing at the corner, and he could not help but snort.
âItâs good to have a great relationship, but the companyâs affairs are also very important. Since youâve recovered, you should go back to the company and deal with your work. I wonât do anything to them since Iâve already promised you!â
Amos burst into laughter once again, âYou really donât care about me, do you? Itâs only the third day since I was shot.â
The Old Master rolled his eyes at him, âI think you look perfectly fine to me!â
Amos then stood up, âIâll be leaving then!â
He walked through the garden and approached Eudora and Juju.
Juju immediately jumped into Amosâ arms like a small butterfly when she saw him. This lovely scene made the Old Master envious.
Yet, it was a pity that he had never had such a moment all his life.
The old man let out a sigh. The assistant behind him said, âOld Master, you are too strict to the Young Master. It was true that he had only recuperated for three days. Are you really going to let him go to the company?â
The old man laughed, âDo you think that I couldnât see through his tricks? He is determined to protect Juju and that woman. Would he be willing to really harm himself? He was just trying to scare me.â
The assistant was stunned, âThen youâ¦â
Old Master Granger did not reply but merely sighed faintly.
âYou young people will never understand the feelings of being a parent.â
The assistant was confused. It was true that he did not understand. After all, he was not married and he did not have any children yet.
â¦
Eudoraâs heart skipped a beat when she spotted Juju throwing herself into Amosâ arms. She said hurriedly, âBe careful.â
On the other hand, Amos had already picked Juju up, âItâs okay.â
Juju was delighted, âDaddy, shall we go out to play?â
Amos shook his head, âDaddy has something very important to deal with. Iâm afraid that Juju will have to play with Mommy first.â
Eudora was taken aback, âWhat did you promise the Old Master?â
