Eudora truly was delighted, regardless of whether she was drunk or not.
On the way home, she kept telling Amos that she was so happy.
Then, she started belting out in song loudly, âHubby, Iâll sing a song for you! I want to sing!â
âIf you are happy and you know it, clap your hands~â
Amos covered his face with his hands. The people in the cars that were passing by all turned to look at them.
Amos quickly closed the window and put on the seat belt for Eudora.
âLetâs keep quiet or Sugar Bun might wake up!â
When Eudora heard this, she immediately covered her mouth. Her large eyes were filled with mirth.
âOh, Sugar Bun! We shouldnât wake him up!â
Amos finally let out a sigh of relief. The next second, Eudora suddenly stretched her head out.
She sang softly into his ear, âI love you, you love me, weâre a happy familyâ¦â
Amos was dumbfounded. Her gentle voice had become a little hoarse due to the drinking. However, her voice still resonated deep within him, causing a ripple of emotions in his heart.
He turned his head and looked at the lovely expression on her face. Suddenly, he had no idea why he had hid from her for so long!
In her heart, no matter what he looked like, as long as they were together, she would be the happiest, wouldnât she?
He loved her so much and always thought that everything he had done was for her sake.
Unexpectedly, that had all been due to the fact that he did not dare to face his own problems.
Amos looked at her adoringly. After what seemed like an eternity, he planted a kiss on her forehead.
âGood girl. Just sit down. Itâs time for us to go home!â
That night, under the influence of alcohol, Eudora kept clinging onto Amos in bed intimately using both her hands and feet.
Amos had no choice but to give in to her.
When Eudora woke up the next day, she discovered she was still embracing Amos like an octopus. As the curtains were not drawn, the room was still pitch black.
She was puzzled for a few moments before recalling that she must have consumed a notable amount of alcohol the night before.
Amos had already opened his eyes and looked at her before she could move away.
He asked, âYouâre up?â
Eudora immediately felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously said, âWhy are you still in bed?â
Amos looked at her hands in exasperation, âI would have gotten out of bed if I could move!â
Eudora was dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, she held him even tighter in the next instant.
âSince youâre not getting up, Iâll sleep for a while longer! This feels like a dream. If itâs really a dream, then please donât wake me up from it!â
There was a slight pause.
Then, she continued, âAfter you left, I wanted to meet you in my dreams all the time. However, the more I desired to dream about you, the more I couldnât. I had a dream about you only once. I kept telling myself to not wake up, but I still did. I was so irritated and disappointed that I couldnât hug you in that dreamâ¦â
Eudora looked up after she finished speaking and met with Amosâ eyes.
She felt embarrassed and hurriedly averted her eyes, âWhatâs wrong? Iâm pretty weird, arenât I?â
Amosâ voice low and hoarse.
He spoke, âIâm sorry. I should have come back earlier!â
Eudoraâs nose twitched and she hurriedly shook her head, trying to calm herself down.
âIâm just kidding. Donât take it seriously! Honestly, after you left, life has been fine! I was busy with the children and the company and I didnât have much time to think aboutâ¦â
Before her voice had faded away, Amos wrapped his arms around her tightly.
âI already know about everything from Doctor Leon. After I was gone, problems happened in the company and at home. You worked really hard every day. Thatâs why Iâve decided to come back to see you. However, I was still too late⦠Iâm sorryâ¦â
Eudoraâs tears started to fall as she could no longer keep it together.
She reached out her hand and punched Amos lightly, complaining while sniffling.
Sniffling, she complained, âYou a*shole! You did it on purpose, didnât you? Iâve already said Iâm fine. Why are you making me cry? How can you be so heartless? You knew I was suffering, but you didnât come back to see me. Youâre such an a*shole!â
Amosâ heart stopped for a second.
His lips curved up slightly, âYes, Iâm such a*shole! Iâm sorry.â
âYou are a super huge a*shole.â
âYes, Iâm a super huge a*shole. No matter how you punish me, Iâll endure it. What would you like me to do? The chores? Take care of the children? Go out with you? Just say it, and Iâll do it.â
Eudora actually had just been just a little upset, thus she had acted unreasonably.
Only in front of Amos could she make such a fuss.
However, it didnât take long for her to regain her rationale.
She sniffled.
She retorted, âWhy should I punish you? Doing the chores and taking care of the children are now your responsibilities. My punishment is that you can no longer think the way you used to. No matter what happens, weâll face it together as a family. Do you understand?â
âYes, I do!â Amos nodded. âIâll listen to you!â
Eudora broke into a smile, âThatâs more like it!â
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. Eudora picked it up and took a look at it. She quickly sat up.
She quickly sat up, âGosh, itâs already ten oâclock? There are still a lot of things left to do in the company! I have to rush now!â
She jumped out of bed but was held back by Amos.
He comforted her, âDonât worry, take your time. As a leader, you have to keep calm all the time.â
Eudora glared at him, âItâs all your fault. Why didnât you wake me up earlier?â
Amos nodded helplessly, Yes, itâs all my fault. Iâll send you there later!â
âItâs fine. Clint will call for someone to pick me up. Take good care of Sugar Bun at home!â
After saying so, Eudora rushed into the bathroom to wash up.
As soon as she arrived downstairs, she saw Clint coming in.
Eudora helplessly explained herself, âI overslept. Are we in a rush? Letâs leave right away!â
Clint shook his head and said, âMadam, something has happened.â
âWhat is it?â Eudora was puzzled. The companyâs situation had been quite stable recently. She did not think that anything bad would happen anytime soon!
âItâs about Mr. Granger!â Clint said as Amos was walking down the stairs.
Clint noticed Amos and immediately shut up. He said, âMadam, letâs go out and talk about it!â
âThereâs no need for that!â Amos stopped him.
âSince the matter concerns me, why canât you talk about it in front of me?â
Clint, in a dilemma, looked at Eudora.
Once Eudora nodded, he spoke, âI donât know whatâs going on with the media as well. Theyâve suddenly published the news of Mr. Grangerâs return and even posted a video of him. Although the resolution isnât that clearâ¦â
Clint stopped speaking, but Eudora and Amos knew what was going to go down.
Now that Amos was in such a state, even if he showed only half of his face, he would definitely become a topic of discussion. Those old folks, the shareholders, were probably getting reading to strike!
