Even till that moment, Amos still managed to maintain what was left of his rationale. As his words fell, he stopped and peered at her quietly with his reddened eyes, as if he was waiting for her response. Eudora recalled what Harley had mentioned previously. Even if it was just for Juju's sake... She made up her mind and nodded. The next second, she could sense the man's joy overflowing from his eyes. After getting her consent, Amos could no longer resist and finally lost his mind. ...... Meanwhile, outside the door, Harley had his ear against the door, trying to pick up any movements in the room. However, he couldn't seem to hear anything for the longest time. Immediately, he became anxious. Eudora would not be so heartless, would she? After all, it was hard to figure out what was going on in a woman's mind. Perhaps it would be better if he were to send Amos to the hospital after all. The drug may be really powerful, however,
It turned out that he knew that it was her! Eudora frowned and said without thinking, "I didn't do it for you. I did it for Juju. Her condition still isn't very stable, and she won't be able to accept it if she lost you!" Amos was not annoyed when he heard that. He lowered his head to study her stubborn face. After a long pause, he reached out and stroked her head before saying, "It's my pleasure." Eudora was speechless. He then left before she could react. Amos acted as if he was heading out for work to support his wife and children. Eudora was deep in her thoughts when Juju fell asleep again in her arms. Juju's head was tilted in an awkward angle, hence Eudora carried her back to their room hurriedly. They both then slept soundly on the bed, with Juju in Eudora's arms. ...... Meanwhile, Amos told the driver as he headed out. "Let's head to Miss Liam's apartment before we go to the company." The driver was slightly take
Amos frowned and said, "I won't kill you but I won't be a puppet." He then called for Clint and said, "Please send the guest off!" Clint pushed through the door hurriedly and came in. The next second, he saw Old Master Granger collapse from his wheelchair with a thud. Amos was shocked as he hurried over to his father and said, "Quick, call the doctor." ...... Old Master Granger's assistant arrived shortly after. He took out a bottle and fed a pill to the Old Master, "Do you have a bed for him to rest?" Amos said to Clint hurriedly, "Take him to my lounge." After laying the Old Master down, the assistant heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's alright. He will wake up soon." Amos frowned and asked, "What's wrong with him?" The assistant shook his head, "He's fine. Age is getting to him so he's not really in a good shape." "Tell me the truth!" Amos insisted. In fact, he had suspected that his father's health had deteriorated ove
Amos gave her a wry smile and there were traces of bitterness in his eyes. Eudora's heart ached. She had never seen Amos act like this before. She blurted out almost subconsciously, "Actually, you still have relatives! You are not alone." "Hmm?" Amos was taken aback and he looked at her blankly. It was only then that Eudora realized that she had nearly given away the secret about Juju. She hurriedly shook her head, "I..." "You're right, I still have you!" Amos suddenly smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, Eudora!" Eudora was at a loss for words. "Actually, I..." "I still have some work to attend to, so I'll go and get it done." Amos interrupted her. After that, he left without waiting for Eudora's answer. It was not until the door was closed that Eudora realized that Amos must have thought that she had forgiven him. ....... Clint was very efficient at his work. Jason immediately flew back the next day. Clint i
Eudora nodded and handed the mobile phone back to Amos. "Thank you!" Amos said hurriedly upon realizing that she was leaving with Christopher, "Anya was looking for you just now. She said that she had something to tell you." "Oh, I'll look for her now." After that, she excused herself from Christopher and went inside alone. Christopher turned around and snorted before heading over to his acquaintances. Anya Astor had made an effort to dress up today. However, when she saw Eudora, she could not help but chided her, "Didn't I tell you to dress up today? Why do you look so plain? Anyway, you still look better than Wendy. Look at her, she is wearing a bright red dress today. Is she trying to look like a peacock?" Eudora followed Anya's gaze and saw Wendy, who was already surrounded by a group of people. Anya may be exaggerating, but she was not wrong. Wendy really did doll herself up today. Furthermore, she was Amos' fiancee, naturally, she w
The Old Master still looked very tough even though he was being threatened, but it was obvious that his attitude had become slightly better. Amos turned to look at Jason and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you!" Jason went over swiftly and did a quick examination. He then proceeded to study the medical records. Shortly after, he said to Amos, "Let's go out and talk!" "That's not necessary!" the Old Master said, "I'm an old man. What else could possibly be new to me? Do you think that I'm afraid of dying? Just say it!" Jason gave Amos a troubled look. He nodded. "Tell me!" Jason parted his lips reluctantly and explained, "The Old Master's treatment plan is working, so... my conclusion remains unchanged." The room was instantly quiet and the assistant hurriedly went over to the Old Master. He said, "Shall I take you home to rest?" "I will not be dying anytime soon!" the Old Master exclaimed as he looked at Amos, "Are you relieved now? Wha
However, Amos refused to leave even though Eudora had pushed him with all her strength. They were in an impasse when suddenly, a burst of laughter rang behind them. Both of them were taken aback. At that moment, it was as though Eudora had completely forgotten about chasing Amos away. "Juju, are you laughing?" Juju smiled even more happily. She kept her eyes on both Eudora and Amos as if she could not get enough of seeing them. Ever since she had been involved in that traumatic incident, Juju had not smiled for the longest time. Therefore, Amos was also very happy. He took the opportunity to ask Juju. "Juju? Do you want me to be your father?" Eudora was speechless. She said reproachfully in a low voice, "Amos..." Amos ignored her and asked Juju again, "Juju, if I were to become your father, I will be able to sleep with you and your mother on the same bed every day!" It was as if he was a wolf wagging its tail to coax a little sheep.
Amos held Eudora's head and kissed her back with a smile. "You see, Juju? We're good." Juju finally smiled. She then walked over to Amos and Eudora. She held their hands and went to the dining table together. It was a weekend that day. Therefore, the two of them played with Juju after breakfast. However, Eudora seemed to be in a world of her own. Juju called her several times in between but it seemed as though she was spacing out most of the time. Amos sighed helplessly and took the toy from her, "Is it that hard for you to trust me?" Eudora was stunned. She nodded when she realized what Amos was talking about. "I still have some difficulties believing you. After all, she had saved your life before." Five years ago, he was willing to throw his life away for Wendy Liam. How was Eudora going to believe that he was willing to punish Wendy? Amos' heart sank. At the end of the way, Wendy was still the one thing that separated them. Amos
Naomi immediately changed the topic by saying, "I'm going to the meeting." As they spoke, her phone rang again. The secretary took a look and said, "It's from Mr. Olsen." Naomi said, "I'm late to the meeting! I'll talk to him after the meeting!" The meeting lasted for a few hours. After a few hours, Naomi stood tiredly in front of the sink. She looked more mature than she did before. She was indeed no longer the innocent girl she used to be. She remembered that before she went to the meeting, the secretary had mentioned that there was a message from Culver. She took out her phone and clicked on the message. The next second, her hand trembled, and her phone fell to the ground. ...... When Naomi arrived at the funeral home, Culver was already waiting for her at the entrance. "When did it happen?" Naomi tried hard to hold back her emotions along the way, but the moment she opened her mouth, her emotions flowed out. "Last ni
Although Naomi and Eddison were reluctant, they submitted under Amos' domineering aura. The next day, they packed up their things and went back to Rosaville City. As soon as the car was about to turn, it was stopped by Amos. "Go straight to the Granger Mansion." Eddison asked curiously, "Why are we going there?" "You're going to take over the Granger family's business, that's why!" Naomi teased. Before Naomi could finish gloating, Amos teased her, "You too." The two siblings' faces instantly stiffened, as though they were forced to resign to fate. Indeed, the first thing they did after they returned to the mansion was to ask Alfred to clean up the two master bedrooms for Naomi and Eddison. Although the two rooms were master bedrooms, they weren't totally identical. Alfred gave the better room to Eddison. Before they entered the house, Alfred noticed that Naomi seemed to be rebelling. After thinking about it, Alfred explained t
After coaxing Eudora for a while, Naomi managed to persuade her to eat a few mouthfuls of food. She was finally much calmer. However, it could be seen with the naked eye that she had lost some weight. Naomi was incredibly worried. While Eudora was on a walk with Eddison, she sat in front of Amos's bed. She said, "Dad, hurry up and wake up! Mom misses you so much that she's about to fall sick! Are you really willing to let her go on like that?" Naomi sniffed, "Mom was so beautiful when she was young. She looks really pretty now, too. If you don't wake up soon, I'll find someone else for her! When that time comes, don't regret it!" There was still no movement from the person on the bed. Naomi sighed in disappointment. When she turned around, a hand suddenly grabbed her sleeve. Naomi's heart skipped a beat of joy. When she turned around, she saw Amos staring at her. He yelled, "Don't you dare!" "Dad, you're awake!" Naomi was incredibly
"Mom, don't worry, Dad will be fine!" Naomi comforted her. Eudora hurriedly shook her head again, "What are you talking about? Of course, Amos will be fine. He's just angry with me! Where's my medicine? If you don't help me take it, I'll take it myself!" As she said, she got up from her seat. Naomi stopped her again and said, "I'll get it for you! Just wait here!" Eudora sat down obediently and reached out to hold Amos' hand. Naomi took a few steps outside and heard Eudora murmuring to Amos behind her. "Did you hear that? I'm being a good girl. Hurry up and wake up!" Naomi's nose twitched for no reason. She hurriedly restrained herself and quickly walked out. Her parents had been in love with each other for their whole lives. She had witnessed their journey since she was young. Eddison might not know about their history too well as he was really young back then. She remembered the time when there had been a great misunderstanding be
Amos hung up on the call and picked up the medicine that Eudora had not taken just then. He poured a glass of water and walked over to Eudora. "You haven't finished the medicine yet!" Eudora looked at the medicine in distress, pleading, "I think my body is much better now. I don't need to take it!" "That won't do," Amos remained strong-willed as always. "This medicine is good for your health!" "Medicines are drugs too!" Eudora was still putting on a fight. "You want to poison me to death, don't you?" Amos said helplessly, "Are you afraid of drugs, or do you want to suffer instead?" Eudora was rendered speechless. "Either way, I won't take it! It's too big of a pill to swallow. I know you're trying to poison me to death, so that you can find yourself a younger wife!" Amos was dumbfounded. "There are no younger girls who are more beautiful than you." "That's true!" Eudora nodded, and immediately looked into Amos's smiling
The Granger Mansion had been well taken care of, so there was nothing for Naomi to worry about. Hence, she decided to go straight back to Clearwater Bay. Amos and Eudora were not around. Although Clearwater Bay was in Cindy's care, it still felt desolate. In the evening, Cindy prepared a lot of delicious food for Naomi! "Your parents don't know that you're back in Rosaville City, right?" "No, they don't!" Naomi said after taking a sip of the mushroom soup. "Mom is in poor health, therefore I haven't told her yet. I'll go see her once I'm done with the matters here." "That's great! She must miss you and Sugar Bun." "What about you?" Naomi looked at Cindy with a smile. "Is everything alright between you and Uncle Charlie?" "Everything is fine! With everyone supervising him, he doesn't dare treat me badly!" As the two of them talked, Charlie protested from the outside. "Are you talking behind my back again with Miss Naomi?" Charl
It was only then that Culver remembered that Naomi was also in the kitchen. He concealed the panic on his face and pretended to be calm as he picked up the salmon next to him and put it on the pan. The next second, hot oil splashed out of the pan. Naomi pulled him away, "Mr. Olsen, don't act like you know how to cook!" Culver was not willing to give up. When he heard her words, he remained calm. "I can do this." "Stop lying!" Naomi exposed him without mercy. Then, she picked up the spatula next to her and flipped the salmon over. Culver stood behind her, watching her pour her heart and soul into cooking. It reminded him of the time she used to live in his house in Greene City. During that time, she had cooked all kinds of food for him every day. However, he had never actually seen her in action. It turned out she was still pretty as ever when she cooked. "Hand me the sauce!" It was not until Naomi called him
The doctor's face was solemn, "If it fails, he will only have two months to live!" Naomi fell silent. She finally understood why Nelson refused to undergo the surgery! "Miss George, you see..." "Are there not any other solutions, or at least something with a higher success rate?" Wasn't five percent too low of a success rate? It would be as if they were sending Nelson to death's door. The doctor shook his head, "It's not that we don't want to do something to help the patient. It's our wish for every patient to recover and live a healthy life, but Mr. Luther is in critical condition. We've really done our best! Moreover, his condition is deteriorating very quickly every day. It's possible that the success rate will lessen tomorrow! Therefore, we have to make a decision as soon as possible!" Naomi started to panic a bit. "Please let me think about it." She felt like an executioner at the moment. Her decision was the key to Nelson's su
"I don't like her anymore! If you want me to go back to the Olsen Group, please stop bugging me with your words!" After saying that, Culver made a call to Aaron. "Mobilize the tracking device that I asked you to create for Nelson, and find out where he has gone! " "Yes, Sir!" After getting a reply from Aaron, Culver made another phone call to the company. "Call the press and make an appointment for a press conference at three o'clock in the afternoon. I'll explain everything about this matter!" "For the stock market, just follow my orders." Marilyn looked at Culver, composed as ever, and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Although he was the same person he had always been, it had been sometime since she felt this way. He had returned to his former self. ...... Nelson sat on the railing along the river as he stared at the surface of the water in a daze. He did not even turn his head when he heard footsteps behind him
