Chapter 457: Chapter 457 Payback

Eudora looked at the rashes on Amos’ fingers and got up hurriedly.

“I’ll get some ice cubes for you. Just give me a moment.”

However, Amos grabbed her tightly before she could even turn around, “Please don’t go.”

Eudora sighed, “But you need ice cubes right now!”

Amos refused to let her go, “Just give it a little rub and it’ll be fine…”

Eudora was dumbfounded.

For some reason, she felt that he was acting just like a spoiled child.

It was as though he was a child who was throwing tantrums after falling to the ground and begging for his parents to give him a massage.

“Stop fooling around!” Eudora furrowed her eyebrows, “How would it heal just because I gave it a little rub?”

However, Eudora noticed the very next moment that the rashes on the areas that she had touched previously had faded miraculously.

“This is…”

Amos pulled her back and said, “You are my remedy…”

He pulled her into the bathtub before Eudora could react.

He exerted a little bit of force when he pulled her in but he was mindful enough to protect her belly. However, Eudora was so surprised by the sudden movement that she pushed him away hastily.

Amos, who had just pulled her strongly a moment ago, fell softly on her shoulder. “Thank God that you’re back…”

Eudora’s heart ached. Her mind was in turmoil.

After readjusting herself in the bathtub, she washed every part of Amos’ body meticulously, especially his hand. She cleaned it carefully three times before allowing him to come out of the bathtub.

“Alright, it’s all clean now,” Amos hugged her for a long time before saying, “Now, it’s all your filled with your scent!”

The two of them then changed their clothes and lay on the bed. Eudora then leaned into Amos’s embrace and said, “We’ll go back tomorrow morning.”

Amos was startled. “Aren’t you going to stay here for a few more days?”

“There’s no need to.” If it weren’t for the fact that Amos had just had an allergy attack and that it might be unsafe for him to drive at that moment, she would rather leave right now.

She didn’t expect that Kesha could be so shameless.

“Anyway, we’re going home tomorrow. I’ll come over often to see my father instead,” Eudora said.

She could hear Amos’ soft laughter.

“Are you jealous?” Amos asked.

Eudora was stunned by his question and she answered immediately, “I’m not jealous. I just don’t want others to start seducing you. You’re mine!”

She looked just like a little cub showing its claws, trying to assert its dominance. Amos was relieved, “Those who seduce me will not end up well, except for you.”

Eudora didn’t pay attention to what he was saying because she was yawning.

After all, pregnant women would usually get drowsy easily. Furthermore, she exhausted a lot of energy quarreling with Kesha just now.

Amos pulled her into his arms and said, “Go to bed. I’ll keep an eye on myself.”

…

After being thrown out of Eudora’s room mercilessly, Kesha covered herself with the cushion and stumbled back into her own room. She looked at herself in the mirror, and she looked nothing like an elegant woman.

Her hair was disheveled and her body was in a mess.

Kesha took a glimpse at herself and remembered what Eudora had said earlier.

“Even orange peels are smoother than your skin!”

Kesha was infuriated. She picked up a bottle on the dressing table and smashed the mirror.

It was already the middle of the night. Felicia, who was sleeping soundly in the next room, was awakened by the noise. She knocked on Kesha’s door hurriedly.

“Kesha, what happened to you?”

Kesha did not dare to show Felicia her current state. She shook her head hurriedly and answered, “Nothing happened. I dropped something on the ground accidentally. Go back to sleep.”

It was only then that Felicia felt reassured, “You should go to bed early too.”

When Felicia left, Kesha pulled the sofa cushion off her body and changed her clothes.

“Eudora, one day, I will pay back twice the humiliation that I had suffered today,” Kesha swore inwardly.

…

Clint had already arrived when Eudora woke up the next morning.

Amos had ordered Clint to put their laundry into the car. He then came back inside and put his arms around Eudora’s waist.

“The car is ready according to my darling’s order. We could head home anytime now.”

Eudora pursed her lips, “Do your employees know that you’re very good at sweet-talking?”

She was just making a harmless joke, but Amos seemed to have taken it seriously. He frowned.

“They will never know about this.”

Eudora was speechless.

Wasn’t he trying to learn the Internet lingo? Did he fail already?

At this moment, Felicia’s voice came from outside the door, “Eudora, are you guys heading home now?”

Eudora had initially changed her impression toward Felicia a little. At least, she did not hate her as much as she used to.

However, because of Kesha’s actions this time, her opinion of her had declined greatly. She responded indifferently, “Yes.”

Felicia could sense that something was off, but she couldn’t figure it out at that moment, hence she remained quiet.

Gordon heard the commotion and came over hurriedly. He remained mum after seeing that they were about to leave.

“Amos is busy with work and Eudora’s baby bump is getting bigger too. You should head home if things are inconvenient for you here. However, Eudora, you have to come back often to visit me, okay?”

Eudora didn’t expect that Gordon would take their departure so well, thus, she agreed straight away.

Gordon then tidied up Juju’s bag and reminded her, “You have to zip your bag well, else everything will fall out!”

Juju thanked him hurriedly, “Thank you, Grandpa.”

Gordon then sent them off. The three of them got into the car and left soon after.

Felicia sighed and said, “Let’s head inside.”

Gordon’s expression darkened gradually and he asked in a deep voice, “Where’s Kesha?”

Felicia was startled and she answered, “She’s still in her room. She’s probably still asleep. She should have woken up to send her sister off. I’ll go and get her up now…”

“No, I’ll go myself!” Gordon then turned around and went upstairs furiously.

Not knowing what was going on, Felicia hurried to keep up with him.

“Gordon, what is going on? Kesha is just a little lazy. She just didn’t get up to see Eudora off. Do you have to be so angry?”

Gordon gritted his teeth and rebuked, “Do you think that it’s that simple? Is this how you raise your child?”

He then kicked Kesha’s door open.

Kesha was so irritated from the incident the night before that she couldn’t sleep the whole night. She only drifted off when the sun was rising, hence she was sleeping soundly at that instant. When Gordon kicked the door open, she got so frightened that she almost jumped up from the bed.

“Dad, Mom, what are you doing?”

Gordon looked at her coldly and demanded, “Tell me honestly, do you have any feelings for Amos?”

Kesha was dumbstruck, but she reacted swiftly.

“Dad, why would you say that?”

Gordon ground his teeth and berated, “I may be sick, but I’m not blind. Do you think that I didn’t see you trying to entice Amos again and again yesterday? Tell me honestly, what did you do last night? Eudora and the others left this morning!”

“I… I didn’t do anything!” Kesha lowered her head and looked at the ground.

Gordon kicked the cushion on the ground and grilled, “You’re still lying to me. What’s this? This belongs in Eudora’s room! What the hell have you done?”
