Amos reached out and took Eudora into his arms. âDo you really want to take care of me forever?â
âOf course!â Eudora replied. âI couldnât possibly repay whatever youâve done for me in the past. The only thing I can do is to work hard for the rest of my life, and not let you and the children sufferâ¦â
Amos was speechless.
âShouldnât you repay me with your body?â
Eudora fell speechless. Amos then carried her up and walked towards the big bed.
The two of them spent the whole night together.
â¦
The next day, Eudora was already getting changed next to the bed before Amos got up.
She had an appointment with Leslie and others that day to visit the office building. She checked the location and found that it was not bad.
She just didnât know if it was suitable.
The moment Amos opened his eyes, he saw Eudora mumbling to herself as she buttoned up her blouse.
He couldnât help but stare at her.
Eudora lowered her head and looked into the manâs bright eyes. She was startled for a moment before realizing that she was changing her clothes by the bed.
She subconsciously covered the important parts of her body and glared at Amos, âDonât look at me!â
Amos laughed. âYour figure is still very good.â
He was telling the truth. Although Eudora had given birth to two children, she still maintained a good figure all this time. Moreover, she had inherited her motherâs genes. Her skin was still as perfect as ever, and she did not have any excess fat.
Feeling her face warming up, Eudora scolded him, âPervert!â
Amos then pulled her over. âYouâve already called me a pervert. I guess I should act the part, right?â
Eudora was speechless.
She pushed him away and muttered, âIâm going to be late. President Granger, please stay at home and accompany the children. Iâll be back soon to take you guys out to play.â
Amos was at a loss for words.
Why were those words so strange? It seemed as though he was the wife in the relationship.
Nonetheless, it felt pretty good. Forget it, he was fine with anything as long as she was happy.
Amos finally let go of her after leaving a kiss on her lipsâ¦
â¦
Leslie was already waiting outside when Eudora made her way out of the house. The car was parked outside, and he was standing there tensely.
When Eudora walked towards him, he stretched out his neck and looked behind her.
However, he didnât see Amosâ¦
Eudora knew what he was thinking about. Although Leslie seemed loud and burly, he was actually very kind. Otherwise, Tyler would not have thought of him so highly.
He felt apologetic towards Amos, but the latter did not seem to give him the chance to solve the problem. It was making Leslie anxious.
Eudora smiled at him and said, âUncle Clarke, let things take their course. Donât worry!â
Leslie nodded. âI understand, Miss Eudora. Letâs go!â
The building that Leslie and Samuel had bought was not far from Valiant East. It was also one of the landmarks in Rosaville City.
Leslie had rented three floors in the building, which would help kickstart their future operations.
Eudora was quite satisfied after taking a good look around.
The location was good and the layout was not bad as well. A good beginning represents half the success. Eudora felt that this was a good beginning.
After making the final decision, Eudora called Leslie and said, âSince we are free today, letâs make an appointment with the landlord. Letâs sign the contract today!â
Leslie was also eager to start things. He then immediately called the landlord.
After a while, Leslieâs happiness diminished. âThey said that they are not in Country C for the time being. They want us to wait another half a month.â
Eudora frowned. âWho was the person we contacted previously then?â
âThe person we contacted before claimed that heâs just in possession of the key. The rental business isnât up to him.â
âBut half a monthâ¦â Eudora pursed her lips. âWe have already decided on our launch date, and many other arrangements have been done as well. It was all supposed to start in two weeks, yes?â
âThat is right.â
They had originally planned to clean up the place first before moving in. They calculated that everything would be in order in half a month.
If they were unable to get their business venue settled, then everything else would be stuck.
âForget it. Letâs keep this place in mind, and at the same time, we could look for other suitable places.â
At the very least, they would still have a backup plan if there were any changes after half a month.
Leslie nodded and agreed, âOkay!â
Eudora was a little upset because she could not finalize her work in the morning. However, she saw a water park had just opened near Clearwater Bay while she was making her way home. Thinking of taking her children to play there, Eudoraâs mood instantly brightened up.
With this in mind, she made a phone call.
She could hear the sound of children sobbing when the call was connected. Eudora was shocked. The last time Juju had cried so badly was when she had fallen ill.
She wanted nothing more than to put on a pair of wings and fly back home immediately. Eudora asked anxiously, âWhatâs wrong? Amos? Hubby?â
Jujuâs voice, which was mixed with sobs, then came from the other end.
âI am not your husband, I am your baby. Your husband beat me upâ¦â
Eudora was dumbstruck.
âDid Amos beat you?â
How could that be possible? Amos had always doted on his two children the most!
âDonât cry, Juju. Mommy will get back soon!â Eudora asked the driver to speed up as she comforted the child.
â¦
At the same time, in the Granger villa.
Juju wiped the tears on her face and looked at his sad brother after hanging up the phone.
âAlright, stop crying. Mommy will be back soon.â
Sugar Bun pursed his lips and he was about to cry again. Juju reached out and hugged him. âI told you that Mommy will be back soon. I know that you miss Mommy! But Mommy needs to work. I could only use this method once. Iâll have to come up with another excuse next time!â
At this moment, she saw Amos making a phone call from outside. Juju immediately went forward and hugged his thigh.
âDaddy, am I your baby?â
Amos raised his eyebrows and looked suspiciously at Juju. âWhatâs wrong?â
His daughter was sometimes more mischievous than her mother. Amos knew her well, and it was always suspicious when she started acting coquettishly.
However, he did not expose her. Instead, he shook his head ruthlessly. âNo!â
Juju looked at him incredulously.
âThatâs not what the book says! Daddy, youâre not playing by the rules!â
Amos then added, âYour mother is my baby.â
Juju was dejected.
âBut, what were you going to tell me earlier?â
Juju shook her head. âItâs not a big deal. Even if Iâm not your baby, would you forgive me if I make a mistake?â
Amos nodded his head hesitantly, âI guess so.â
Juju immediately smiled happily, âThank you, Daddy, I love you.â
For some reason, he could sense trouble brewing.
Was it all in his head?
