When Juju saw Eudora and was about to call her, Amos grabbed her by the arm.
âLetâs go home!â Amos said.
Juju pouted, then gestured goodbye to Eudora again.
When they arrived home, Cindy walked over.
âPresident Granger, youâre back? Dinner is readyâ¦â
Amos ignored her and went straight upstairs.
Cindy was confused, âWhatâs wrong? Did I say something wrong?â
Juju shook her head and said to Cindy seriously, âItâs not your fault, Cindy. Someone is just jealous!â
Cindy was even more confused now.
Wesley said hurriedly, âForget it. Juju, letâs eat!â Wesley was becoming more and more like a married man, probably because he had been taking care of the children for a long time. In a way, he enjoyed this feeling quite a lot.
Juju nodded and followed him to the dining hall. However, she was still a little worried at the thought of the scene just now.
âUncle Wesley, do you think Mommy and Daddy will really not get back together anymore? Will Mommy really marry Uncle Nolan?â Juju asked innocently.
On the other hand, Wesleyâs point of view was completely different as an adult. He asked back, âWell, do you think your mother likes Uncle Nolan?â
Juju did not understand and frowned, âWhat do you mean by âlikeâ?â
âSimply speaking, is she happy with Uncle Nolan? Is she like how she used to be with your father?â
âNot reallyâ¦Â But sheâs being very modest to Uncle Nolan! She never allows me to bully Uncle Nolan.â
Wesley laughed instantly, âThis shows that your mother only treats Uncle Nolan as an ordinary friend! We will only be modest to outsiders, but not to the people we like!â
Juju finally breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, âSo, the reason why Daddy is always jealous is because he likes Mommy!â
âYou can say that!â
âThatâs great!â Juju cheered. Just then, Cindy came over with Sugar Bunâs milk bottle. Juju took it quickly and put the bottle into Sugar Bunâs mouth.
âSugar Bun, eat more. Youâll only be able to protect Mommy like me when you grow bigger!â
â¦
At the same time, Amos, who was in the study room upstairs, received a call from Charlie before he could get jealous.
Charlie reported, âPresident Granger, I found something very strange.â
âWhat is it?â
âDo you still remember Thomas Shelby?â
Amosâs heart skipped a beat as he asked, âIsnât Thomas dead?â
âThomas is dead, but he still has some organizations under him lurking around. Iâve been investigating the case of the Nolan family with Mr. Louis for the past two days. I think that the Nolan family may have something to do with Thomas.â
The Nolan family and Thomas?
Amos laughed abruptly, âIf thatâs the case, wonât that be a good thing? Any one of the things Thomas did is enough to get the Nolan family in trouble! You should pay attention and collect evidence! Donât alert the enemy!â
âOkay!â
â¦
For three days in a row, Eudora made soup and sent it to Fabian. After finding that it was inconvenient for her to send it over daily, he went out of his way to have the driver take him to her office daily so he could drink it.
Eudora thought that it was only to show her concern for Fabian as he saved her. She didnât want others to spread rumors about the progression of their relationship.
Even the staff of her own familyâs company had begun to spread this rumor. When she had just entered the office, she saw the gossiping faces of the girls in the office.
âMiss Eudora, Mr. Nolan is very early today!â
Eudora looked outside and saw that Fabian was sitting on a chair outside, looking at her.
She averted her gaze with an expressionless face and took out the soup she had made and brought with her.
âIt seems that you girls are too free. If you are not busy, Iâll ask the manager to send the two of you to the new store tomorrow.â
They shut up immediately, âMiss Eudora, we wonât talk anymore!â
Only then did Eudora get up and walk out. She placed the soup on the table.
âActually, you donât need to come here every day. You can just ask the driver to come and get it!â
However, Fabian shook his head and refused, âItâs fine, Iâm not very busy anyway. And Iâm very happy to see you every day! Perhaps it can help in the recovery of my wounds!â
Eudora was speechless and just kept her head down without saying anything. Seeing this, Fabian smiled and took out a contract.
âAlso, Iâm not here for nothing at all today. I want you to have a look at this.â
It was a contract detailing the cooperation between the Holt family and the Nolan family, with some information about how the investments would work. Eudora didnât know anything about this matter at all, so she was a little confused.
âThis isâ¦â
âIâve discussed this with Uncle Holt, and Iâve also prepared the contract. Iâve already told Uncle Holt that youâll be in charge of the handover. I know that you used to be a designer. The Nolan familyâs project this time is awesome. If you do a great job, itâll look good on your resume for sure.â
Eudora was indeed very fond of designing, but Fabian had made the decision for her without asking her about how she thought about it. This made her a little angry.
She flipped through the contract and handed it back to him.
âSorry, I havenât agreed to it yet. I have to go back and ask about this!â
Fabian paused for a moment and sighed, âPerhaps itâs my fault, I should have told you beforehand. But Uncle Holt has good intentionsâ¦â
Eudora was already a bit disgusted by Fabianâs behavior. Even if she didnât say it, it didnât mean that she was unaware.
After all, she was a mother of two children, and was not an ignorant little girl. It was impossible that she could not sense a manâs deliberate pursuit of her.
She did her best to endure Fabian just because he had saved her two days ago.
Although she really couldnât hold in her disgust anymore, she still showed him the minimum amount of respect that she could.
âLetâs not talk about this anymore. Iâll go through it first, then weâll talk about it later!â
After saying that, she turned around and left without saying goodbye to Fabian.
Bache, Fabianâs assistant, came over from the next table and muttered unhappily, âSir, Miss George is really different!â
Bacheâs words were a little ironic. Malcom had said before that Eudora was a good girl, unlike others.
Hearing this, Fabianâs face fell. He frowned, âIs she someone you can judge?!â
Bache was taken aback, âMr. Fabian, you donât actually like her, do you?â
Fabian didnât say another word. If he didnât like her, why would he spend so much effort on her? What could be better than having the person you needed the most to also be the person you liked?
â¦
After Eudora left, she went straight back to the Holt Manor, filled with anger.
Tyler had just received Leslieâs report that Eudoraâs relationship with Fabian had improved rapidly over the past few days. The two of them were said to be dating in the office every day, and Eudora even made soup for him!
Tylerâs anger over having his Sugar Bun taken away finally eased a little. As long as Eudora and Fabian were married, he would be able to have one of their children inherit the family business.
Killing two birds with one stone would be a great idea.
Just when he was lost in his thoughts, Eudora stormed into the house with a huff and threw the things she found in front of Tyler.
âI need an explanation!â Eudora yelled.
Tyler was stunned for a moment. He took those things and took a look at them before he heaved a sigh of relief.
âThereâs nothing to explain. Itâs all true!â
Eudora frowned, âSo, you sold me to the Nolan family without my consent?â
