Steven Granger remained silent as Harry Granger smiled at him.
âWell, you deserve to be my son. I am right. How was your visit today?â
Steven told the truth, âWe managed to measure the place, and then Amos showed up and we left.â
Kaylene Yoder was even more confused, âWhat was Amos doing there? Isnât he supposed to be busy with his work?â
Harry rolled his eyes at her question, âStop interrupting! Go to the kitchen and cook!â After that, he looked at Steven and asked, âDid you hire Eudora as your designer?â
âYes!â Steven nodded, âEudora is good at her work. I like her designs very much.â
âGood, good!â Harry laughed.
â¦
At the Ruby House.
Although Eudora George wanted to believe in Juju, she still had to ask.
âJuju, could you please tell me what had happened earlier?â
Juju said, âHe wanted to grab my gun, so I hit him!â
Eudora glanced at the toy gun, âDidnât I tell you not to take this gun out to play?â
Jujuâs face was full of resistance and she saw Amos Granger coming in at this moment. She ran to him and hugged him, âDaddy, Mommy wants to confiscate my gun.â
Amos reached out and took Eudoraâs hand, âWhat happened?â
After Eudora told him about the incident in the garden, Amos then said, âItâs alright. The kids were just squabbling. The gun belongs to Juju. Thereâs no need to take it away.â
Juju immediately cheered up and returned to the room with her toy.
After she left, Eudora said worriedly, âDo you really think that itâs alright? I feel like this matter isnât that simple. I donât know if Bethany would hold a grudge on this matterâ
âDonât worry. Iâm here!â Amos took Eudora into his arms. Looking at her worried face, he couldnât help frowning.
âIf youâre not used to staying here with Juju, weâd better move back to Clearwater Bay.â
Eudora didnât want to continue staying at the Ruby House, but when she thought of the Old Masterâs condition, she shook her head, âItâs okay. We donât have to move.â
The Old Master didnât like her and she didnât hold any particular sentiment toward his condition. However, Amos was the Old Masterâs son, and the Old Master only had a few months left. If Amos were to leave their home because of her, he would definitely regret it in the future.
She did not want him to spend the rest of his life in regret.
âAre you sure? You donât have to worry about me, okay?â
âWhy should I not?â Eudora looked at him reproachfully, âYou are myâ¦â Eudora paused for a moment before continuing.
âAnyway, we are a family. Of course, we have to stick by each other.â
Amos looked at her with a smile, âWhat did you just say? Who am I to you?â
Eudora was embarrassed. Why did he only hear those words?
âSay it!â Amos said.
âMan! Are you happy?â After Eudora finished speaking, she immediately turned around and was about to leave. However, Amos had pulled her back at the very next second.
He lowered his head and caught her lips. The man was overbearing and seductive and he toyed with her for a while before letting her go.
âSince you are so obedient, Iâll reward you!â
Eudora was speechless.
â¦
Eudora thought that she might have overthought. That incident did not seem to have any lasting influence on Bethany Hamilton. They got along just as fine the next day.
However, Kaylene had brought the matter up to the Old Master. The Old Master later bought a toy gun for Vincent Granger. However, it was a real toy gun.
Eudora began to focus on the designs of the amusement park. She had never handled this kind of project before. Hence, she had a lot of research to do.
Fortunately, Christopher Gellert had assigned Tina Holt to assist her. Tina also had a designing degree, so she was of great assistance to Eudora.
After that, things slowly got back to normal.
In the blink of an eye, it was soon Thanksgiving. The old man had issued a memo half a month ago, dictating that the whole family must spend the day together.
Everyone knew that this might be the Old Masterâs last Thanksgiving, so how could they refuse?
As Eudora had stayed at home to focus on the design, Bethany would occasionally come to her whenever she needed help.
Eudora was willing to help. They needed some help with the decorations and Eudora agreed to help Bethany when she had the time. Just as she arrived at the door, she heard Steven shouting behind her.
âEudora, Iâll come with you!â
Eudora shook her head hurriedly, âItâs okay. Iâll go over myself.â
âNo no. I should have asked the driver and servants to accompany you. But they seemed quite busy now. Therefore, I must escort you. Eudora, donât worry about it.â
Only then did Eudora nod, âFine then!â
In fact, they were only going to get a few of the decoration pieces. At first, Eudora wanted some pretty ones, but because of Stevenâs presence, she was not in the mood, so she randomly picked a few and was ready to leave.
As they were about to get into the car, she suddenly heard someone calling her name from behind her.
âEudora?â
Eudora was stunned. She met with Keshaâs eyes when she turned back.
âIs it really you?â Kesha George looked at her coldly.
Eudora didnât want to have anything to do with her five years ago, and nothing had changed even now. Hence, she pretended that she had not seen Kesha and was about to get into the car again.
Kesha caught up with her, âEudora, what are you doing? Since you are back in Rosaville City, why donât you go home and visit your father? You walked away with the check five years ago. Do you know what kind of life we were living all these years?â
Hearing this, Eudora took a glance at Kesha and noticed the branded clothing that she was wearing, âWhat kind of life?â
Kesha was the kind of person who would never admit that she was at fault. Even if Eudora were to expose her now, she would still behave very calmly.
The next second, her eyes fell on Eudoraâs car, âOh, my life is not as good as yours. Whatâs wrong? Amos took you in five years ago. Did you have a new man five years later?â
After that, when Eudora was not paying attention, Kesha opened the door of the driverâs seat hurriedly and said, âHandsome, I advise you to leave her soon. Eudoraâs a liar, and sheâ¦â
Before she finished speaking, Steven tilted his head and smiled at Kesha.
âAnd you are?â
Kesha was stunned, and then she looked at Eudora with deep jealousy in her eyes.
âOh, Eudora, you are very lucky! Youâve found another good manâ¦â
Before she could finish, Steven had stretched his index finger out and pressed it against her lips, âShhâ¦Â you shouldnât say things like that! She is my sister-in-law.â
When Kesha was silenced by Steven, her heart began to pound in her chest. The Granger family truly had good genes. The men whom sheâd been with for the past years were nothing compared to the one in front of her.
After pausing for a while, she spoke.
âAnd you are?â
âI am Steven. Are you Eudoraâs sister?â Steven said.
Eudora didnât want to be involved with Kesha anymore, so she said, âSteven, if weâre done here, letâs go back now.â
Upon hearing this, Steven smiled at Kesha again and said, âHope to see you again!â
Kesha couldnât calm down for a long time as she watched the departing car.
