Eudora George put down the phone in confusion and looked at Amos Granger suspiciously, âWhatâs wrong?â
Amos felt even more aggrieved.
âYou donât love me anymore!â
Eudora was taken aback.
She covered her mouth and couldnât help laughing, âOh no. Youâre getting even cuter by the second. Are you pouting?â
Amos was so angry that he grabbed her arm and pinned her to the desk.
âIt seems like you wouldnât know how great I am unless I teach you a lesson.â
Only then did Eudora finally hold back her smile and asked in all seriousness, âWhatâs going on?â
âShouldnât you say something after watching the video earlier this afternoon?â
Eudora was stunned. Amos was asking for praise. She finally understood.
She put her arms around his neck and imitated Juju, âYouâre so handsome! Youâre amazing.â
Amos covered her eyes and said, âSo fake!â
Eudora was speechless, âI really thought that you were very handsome, but the Old Master was there at that time, so I couldnât say anything,â After that, she raised her head and kissed Amos.
âYou were really handsome!!â
Amosâ arrogance gradually disintegrated.
âCall me honey.â
Eudora replied obediently, âHoney, you are very handsome!â
Hearing this, Amosâ eyes darkened. At this moment, Eudora was pinned to the desk. For some reason, it was as though she was the food on the table, waiting to be tasted and devoured.
When his eyes met her sweet lips, his Adamâs apple bobbed and he lowered his head to kiss her.
Eudoraâs back was pinned against the table aggressively and she felt a little uncomfortable, so she couldnât help but push him away, âIt hurts.â
It was only then that Amos reached out and picked her up and buried himself in her.
After that, Eudora lay in his arms, and the two sat on the big chairs in the study, talking.
Thinking of the Old Masterâs wish, Eudora couldnât help but soften her voice and behave like a spoiled child.
âIâm always at home. Itâs so boring.â
Amos stroked her smooth and tender back with his hand and asked in a low and hoarse voice, âWhere do you want to go for a holiday?â
âCan we?â Eudora said.
âYes!â
âWe donât need to go too far. Letâs go to the resort. The view there is great. We could take a walk together in the morning!â
âIâll leave the itinerary to you then,â Amos said.
Eudora blinked, âOkay!â
Once the arrangements were made, there was nothing that Amos could say anymore.
Eudora couldnât care less about sleeping anymore after returning to the room, so she immediately grabbed her mobile phone and sat on the bed. She was looking forward to the holiday.
Amos put her cell phone away and pushed her onto the bed.
âDo it tomorrow!â
Eudora was indeed tired. She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep. When her breathing was even, Amos looked at her cell phone.
He knew what Eudoraâs intentions were. He used to be stubborn in the past, but after watching Steven bury Harry, he suddenly realized that life was very fragile and delicate.
Perhaps, it was time to give the Old Master and himself a chance.
â¦
The next day, Eudora searched for holiday hotspots after Amos went to work.
The Old Master was in poor health, so it was unrealistic to go too far. Moreover, it wasnât wise to waste time on the road.
In the end, Eudora chose a holiday resort that she and Amos had gone to five years ago. She remembered that the scenery there was pretty good.
After making the decision, she sent the address to Amos and began to pack.
Everything was ready when Amos came back from work. Eudora rushed over and hugged his arm, âDid you see the message that I had sent to you? What do you think?â
Amos nodded, âYou may choose wherever you pleased.â
Eudora was speechless.
âWhereâs Juju?â Amos asked.
âOh, she went to play with the Old Master after she came back. The two of them have been having a good time together recently. Should I call her back?â
Before Amos could reply, she had already left.
On the other side of the old house, Juju was playing a game of cat and mouse with the Old Master. The Old Master, who was in the wheelchair, was chasing after Juju. Both of them were smiling happily.
Beside him came the nervous voice of his assistant, âOld Master, please be careful!â
âIâm fine!â The Old Master waved his hand.
However, he started coughing as soon as he finished speaking.
Eudora went over hurriedly and grabbed Juju. He then ordered the assistant to get the medicine, âBring Old Master to take a rest.â
The Old Master started coughing violently, as though he was going to cough his lungs out. It seemed like his condition was worsening. Eudora even saw the blood on the handkerchief that was in the Old Masterâs hand.
Eudora couldnât help but ask, âOld Master, why donât we go to the hospital?â
The Old Master waved his hand, âItâs okay! I know myself best. Come here. Are you here to take Juju back with you? Go ahead, donât scare Juju!â
Eudora nodded.
âIâve arranged for us to go on a trip tomorrow. Itâs a holiday resort that was built by Valiant East.â
The Old Master paused and asked hesitantly, âIs Amos going too?â
âYes,â Eudora said, âWe are going together.â
The next second, the Old Master stood up from the wheelchair, as though he had become a different person.
After laughing a few times, he turned to the servants and said, âHurry and pack my things. And give me my medicine. Iâll eat it now.â
Eudora looked at him. He was actually behaving like a child.
She couldnât help but persuade, âOld Master, you should pay more attention to your health since weâre going out for a trip!â
âI know!â The Old Master said, âAsk the doctor to come here and give me a checkup.â
When Eudora left the main room, she heard the Old Master instructing his servants on various tasks.
Early the next day, Eudora hesitated if she should tell Amos about it, but in the end, she couldnât seem to find a suitable opportunity. When the three of them made their way downstairs, she saw the Old Master with the servant.
Amos stopped and looked at the Old Master.
Eudoraâs heart sank. Her plan was for them to leave the house separately. Amos wouldnât be able to do anything even if he were to get angry upon arriving at the resort.
However, at this moment, she didnât expect that they would be going together.
Afraid that Amos would leave in anger, Eudora said hurriedly, âAmos, actuallyâ¦â
Before she could even finish speaking, Amos had already opened the door, walked over, and carried the Old Master up. Then, he put the Old Master in the back seat of the car.
The Old Master probably didnât expect Amos to carry him, so his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. For a moment, he didnât know where to put his arms.
For some reason, this scene looked rather heartwarming.
In the end, Amos said, âHold on to me.â
The Old Master came to his senses and put his arms around Amosâ shoulders.
After helping him into the car, Juju suddenly said, âDaddy is so awesome, I want a hug too.â
Eudora said in a hurry, âDaddy is tired. I will hold you, okay?â
Amos shook his head, âItâs okay!â After putting Juju in the car, he went back and looked at Eudora with a smile, âDo you want to hug me too?â
