Wesley had always been a straightforward person. He was not afraid of offending anyone.
That was why he had tactlessly said that he didnât like her when he first met Eudora.
Likewise, he was telling the blatant truth this time too.
Eudoraâs heart skipped a beat. She was sure that Amos would be furious!
Even Cindy wanted to hit Wesley in the head. His words could only mean that she hadnât been making sure that Eudora finished her meal whenever Amos was not around.
Cindy knew that she was doomed. President Granger would definitely put the blame on her and punish her instead of reprimanding his wife.
Just as she was about to think of a way to explain herself, Amos had already spoken up, âFine. You may excuse yourself.â
After that, he carried Eudora in his arms and made his way upstairs.
He put her down on the bed and looked at her the way he did in the morning.
Eudora pouted and apologized, âAmos, I was wrong! Iâll eat well from now on. Please donât be angry!â
Amos shook his head and responded, âForget it. Itâs fine if you donât want to eat it. It doesnât matter as long as youâre fine.â
She would usually throw a tantrum whenever Amos forced her to finish her meal. However, his words worried her this time around.
It seemed that she had gone too far this time. Did she end up scaring him out of his wits?
Eudora stroked her stomach and said, âIâm feeling a little hungry. Why donât we head downstairs and grab a few more bites?â
âItâs okay, Iâll ask Cindy to send it up.â
Amos went back to the office after they had lunch together while Eudora continued working for the rest of the afternoon. At this moment, she received a phone call from Gordon, âEudoraâ¦â
Having regained some of her memories, Eudora vaguely remembered the things that had happened between Gordon and herself.
She would be lying if she said that she did not hold any grudges against him. Nonetheless, the check that Gordon had given to her when she left Rosaville City guaranteed her survival in Italy.
Eudora became even more conflicted when she came to realize that Gordon had only married Felicia so that she would have someone to take care of her.
When she heard him calling her name, she answered, âYes?â
Gordon called her name repeatedly, âEudora, Eudoraâ¦â
Juju came across her mind. There were many times when he had mistaken Juju as herself. At this moment, Eudora realized that she had not visited him ever since she learned the truth of her pregnancy.
She then responded, âIâll be back for dinner tonight! Iâll pick Juju up from school and head over after that.â
Gordon then hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Eudora glanced at the clock and noticed that it was almost time. She started packing up and dialed Amosâ number.
âIâm taking Juju to the George family later in the evening.â
Amos replied hurriedly, âIâll come with you.â
âBut, arenât you busy with your work?â
âIâm not busy!â Amos said quickly.
âAlright then, Iâll wait for you at home.â
Amos hung up the phone and looked at Clint, who was busy on the side. He then said, âI have to leave early today.â
Clint scanned the heap of documents on the table and nodded dejectedly, âLeave them to me.â
There was nothing he could do. He knew all along that his boss prioritized his wife over everything else. Therefore, he could only suck it up and complete the necessary.
âGreat!â Amos nodded in delight and said, âIâll arrange for you and Anya to go on a date again tomorrow.â
Clint was flabbergasted. Was this a reward, or a punishment?
â¦
Amos had just gotten home when Eudora was changing Juju out of her school uniform.
The three soon departed to the George family. Eudora chose to go over at night because she wanted to avoid meeting Kesha.
After all, none of her encounter with Kesha had been pleasant. Hence, Eudora tried as much as possible to avoid even seeing her.
However, the more she didnât want to see someone, the more likely that person would appear in front of her.
When they arrived at the entrance of the George family, Kesha was waiting for them with a bright yet pretentious smile on her face. Eudora frowned as she got out of the car. It seemed that Kesha had deliberately manipulated Gordon to organize dinner.
After being denied entrance into Valiant East by Amos, Kesha went back the next day, only to discover that her car had been blacklisted. The security guard at the gate dashed out and halted her as soon as he saw her as though she was some sort of a virus.
Kesha was furious. Therefore, she had no choice but to come up with this idea.
She assumed that since Eudora would have gained much weight after getting pregnant. Hence, she deliberately picked out a form-fitting, sky-blue dress for herself and styled her long hair into fashionable curls.
At first glance, she seemed much more attractive when compared to Eudora, a pregnant woman who did not dress up or put on any makeup.
Kesha compared her appearance to Eudoraâs, and she seemed thrilled. There was a smile on her face as she walked towards Eudora.
âEudora, Aâ¦â Kesha was startled by Amosâs intimidating aura before she could even finish her sentence. She remembered that Amos had explicitly warned against referring to him with his first name.
Kesha stopped dead in her tracks. At this moment, Felicia came out of the house.
âEudora, youâre back! Come on in and greet your father! Kesha, why donât you go in and serve them a glass of water?â
Kesha then turned around and went inside. Meanwhile, Juju had already entered the house, looking for Gordon. Eudora stood outside and kicked the gravel under her feet angrily.
âItâs true when they say that the more you donât want to see a person, the more likely you will see her.â
Amos nodded, âYeah!â
Eudora paused for a moment and asked, âWho didnât you want to see?â
She never knew that Amos had that kind of nemesis too. After all, he would rarely express his emotions most of the time. Therefore, she was curious about this new revelation.
Amos frowned. He didnât want Eudora to worry, thus he shook his head and answered, âNothing, I was just saying.â
Eudora didnât probe further. She stood there for a while and eventually went into the house with Amos.
At this moment, she saw Kesha coming out and holding a tray.
âWould you guys like to try the tea that I had just brewed?â
She offered the tea to Eudora before they could even reply. Eudora didnât want to drink it at all, so she did not move.
Kesha didnât mind it at all because her true target was Amos.
She spoke softly after placing the teacup in front of Amos.
âI learned to brew tea recently. Why donât you two have a try?â
Even though it seemed that she was speaking to both Eudora and Amos, she was only eager to see if Amos would take a sip.
Amos had always refused her whenever they were alone, but since Felicia and Gordon were both present at the moment, he needed to express his courtesy as a guest by taking a sip of the tea.
Kesha believed that she was way more charming than the fussy Eudora and she figured that Amos would realize her allure in time.
She then urged, âCome on, try it.â
