After seeing the little woman blushed, Amos Granger reluctantly gave her one last kiss and let her go.
Suddenly, Amosâ phone rang. He took his phone and went out.
Eudora George patted her cheeks, and felt a little flustered.
He picked up the phone, but no one spoke. Amos frowned and took a look at the phone number. It was an anonymous number that had not been saved in his contacts. He thought it was a scam call. He hung up and called Clint Zuckerberg.
âWhatâs the progress on Samantha Cooper?â asked Amos.
âI was about to call you. Samantha Cooper ran away. Just now, the police arrived at her residence but she was already gone. Now we are trying our best to find her.â said Clint in a heavy tone.
Amos frowned. When he thought of the unknown phone call just now, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. âOh no.â
He hurriedly turned around and ran to the ward.
â¦
In the ward, the door was pushed open again as Eudora lay down on the bed.
She reflexively replied, âYouâre sweet, youâre the sweetest person in the world!â
There was no response. Eudora was stunned and turned around to look subconsciously. Then, she saw Samantha who looked resentful, standing by the door.
âWhy are you here?â Eudora was shocked. Samantha grinned hideously. âIâm here to see you!â
Eudora frowned and said, âI donât want to see you. Get out.â
âOhâ¦â Samantha suddenly sneered. âDo you think Iâm here just to see you? Do you think I will obediently follow your words?â
âYouâ¦â Eudora could not understand her thoughts at all. âIf youâre here because of Amos, remember that I had let you off several times after what you had done to me. What else do you want?â
âLet me off?âSamantha gritted her teeth. âStop pretending to be kind. If you had forgiven me, then why were there so many policemen tailing after me? Arenât you living well? Why canât you just let me go?â
âPolice?â Eudora suddenly realized something. âWas it you who planned the car accident?â
âSo what if it was me? What did you do to deserve everything? All of them belonged to me in the first place. I was adopted by the Granger Family, and I met Amos first. Why did you appear and take away everything that belonged to me?!!â
âWhat kind of nonsense are you spouting?â Eudora sneered. âOh, so? Do you still feel wronged? But please do forgive me for not being able to understand your grievances.â
Samantha suddenly burst out in anger. âI donât need you to understand, because Iâm here today to let you accompany me to meet the Grim Reaper.â
After that, she pulled out a dagger from her back and wanted to stab Eudora.
It was too late for Eudora to escape. Suddenly, the door was slammed open. Amos rushed in and grasped the tip of the dagger.
Blood instantly stained the ground, and Eudora exclaimed, âAmos!â
Samantha also looked at Amos in shock and said, âWhy?â
Amos frowned and ignored her.
The people who followed behind also rushed in and arrested Samantha.
When Samantha was taken away, she still stared at Amosâ bleeding hand.
âAre you okay, Amos?â Eudora looked at his hand in panic.
Amos shook his head. âIâm fine.â
âWhy are you so stupid? How could you just grab the blade like that?â shouted Eudora.
âAs long as youâre fine, Iâm okay.â replied Amos.
Eudoraâs heart trembled after hearing what Amos said. She seemed to have renewed thoughts after having near-death experiences.
The doctor quickly rushed over and bandaged Amosâ fingers. Fortunately, although the wound was deep, it did not injure his vital parts.
In the evening, Eudora was lying on bed and staring blankly at the ceiling. Amos pushed the door open and came in. At a glance, he noticed Eudoraâs worries.
âWhatâs wrong? Canât fall asleep without me?â Amos teased.
Amos loved to tease her. When Eudora blushed because of his words, Amos would feel satisfied. Unexpectedly, Eudora just nodded and said, âYes, I was thinking about you.â
The little woman who was being proactive made Amosâ eyes darken slightly.
âDonât try to seduce me.â said Amos in a hoarse voice.
Eudora blushed instantly and said, âIâm not. I was really thinking about you.â Then she pointed at her left chest. âMy heart was thinking about you.â
Amosâ heart softened. He went to the bed and hugged her waist from behind.
âAre you worried about me?â asked Amos.
Eudora nodded, but then shook her head. âNot entirely true, I suddenly just want to know more about you.â
After hearing this, the man chuckled softly and asked, âWhat do you want to know?â
Eudora frowned. âWhat did Jeremy Cooper mean last time?â
Upon hearing this, the manâs grip slightly tightened and returned to normal instantly.
âWhat he said is true. I am the illegitimate son of the Granger family. My eldest brother, Hank Granger, was the son of my father and Bethany Hamilton. However, before Hank could take over the company, he died because of a woman. I did not know how my father found out about my presence. He brought me back to the country and asked me to take over Valiant East Group.â
It turned out to be true! Amos was really the illegitimate child of Old Master Granger.
âThen⦠your motherâ¦â
âMother?â Amos chuckled. âI donât have any memory about her. She passed away when I was very young.â He felt that the little woman in his arms stiffen after he spoke about this.
Amos reached out and caressed her hair. âLetâs sleep!â
âAmosâ¦â Eudora suddenly turned around and hugged him. âIâm sorry.â
âHmm?â Amos was stunned for a moment. He kissed her forehead and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âActually, when the Old Master came to me last time, he hoped that I could have a baby with youâ¦â said Eudora.
âOh, so it was about that.â Amos pursed his lips and said, âActuallyâ¦â
âListen to me, Amos, I used to tell myself that everything between us was just a deal, because I knew that we would leave each other one day. I donât want my child to be like me in the future, but now I have changed my mind. Amos Granger, I want to have a child with you, I want to build a family with you. This is the only thought I have right now, regardless whether we will still be together in the future.â
The little womanâs eyes were exceptionally sparkling under the lights. Amos felt that his heart was suddenly surrounded by warmth. He had never felt this way before.
âSilly!â Amos said in a hoarse voice. âIâve told you that weâll be together forever.â
Hearing this, Eudora was stunned. âForever?â
âYes, weâll always be together.â said Amos.
Eudoraâs gaze were like a kitten waiting for her master to hug her. Amos could not help but lower his head and kiss her.
Eudora who was in his arms trembled a little because of his action, but soon, she reached out and hugged him.
