The girl was still beautiful even though she was weeping, and her face had turned red from crying. His heart suddenly softened and Christopher loosened his grip. The girl, who was now free, quickly scrambled away from him and hid under the quilt. Christopher could not help but laugh when he saw that the girl, who was still lively just now, was now frightened. "Are you're scared now? Weren't you so determined earlier in the evening?" The girl bit her lips and she remained quiet. Christopher frowned again. He said, "Well, we haven't gotten our marriage certificate anyway. This is just a show. You can leave any time you want when your father forgives you in the future, okay?" The girl finally nodded and she seemed to be a little less angry. She was really adorable when she smiled, just like how Eudora used to be. Christopher's face darkened when he thought of Eudora all of a sudden. After a long pause, he asked, "What's your name?"
Eudora George was initially very reluctant to attend the event, but it was rare that Juju could participate in a parent-child activity held in school. Furthermore, Juju had just recovered from a fever. Hence, she was worried that Juju would not be able to adapt well to her new school if Eudora did not put in some effort in the event. At the very least, she could not let others gossip that Juju did not have a father. Therefore, Eudora decided to go after thinking about it. She saw Clint waiting for her outside when she arrived at the hotel. "President Granger is still in a meeting. Please wait for a moment. He will be coming out in another ten minutes." Eudora nodded and she went into the room alone. The room that was arranged by Amos was quite spacious. There was a large living room and it would not be a problem for them to rehearse there. At that moment, Eudora heard footsteps coming from outside. She turned to see Amos coming into the room.
Eudora had been having nightmares ever since her memories returned and even more so after Juju fell ill. She had not been able to sleep well for a long time. However, she found herself lying in Amos' arms when she woke up. She sat up immediately and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up? Did you do it on purpose?" Amos Granger stared at her blankly before standing up to explain bitterly. "Weren't you the one who kept pulling me and not letting me go?" Eudora was stunned and she asked, "What?" "I came to wake you up around three o'clock but you dragged me all the way to the sofa..." Eudora was speechless. "Are you lying to me?" "Why would I lie to you? You can ask Clint if you don't believe me." "Was Clint here? Does he know too?" Amos nodded, "You made a lot of noise just now...." Eudora covered her face in embarrassment and she said, "Forget it, I'd better not ask. I haven't been sleeping well recently. I'm sorry to have
Harley had gotten to the door, but he realized that Amos was still ignoring him, so he doubled back. He snatched the remote control reluctantly from Amos and switched the channel to the 'Wolf and Sheep' for him. He did not believe that Amos would be interested to watch the show. However, half an hour later, Harley became even more immersed in the show than Amos was. ...... Eudora went to the hotel at noon the next day. Amos' meeting was already over and Eudora stood up immediately, "Let's get started!" Amos was very cooperative this time. However, he looked very tall and Eudora thought that he probably couldn't dance. Surprisingly, Amos could keep up with her every step and she found it interesting. Eudora was finally relieved. This time, she refused to take a nap in order to avoid the same embarrassing blunder from happening again. "I'm going to buy the props and costumes before heading home. I'll see you at school the day after to
Even though Eudora felt that what Amos said was too arrogant, she was still charmed by his candor. Amos was indeed the most attractive when he was full of confidence! At that moment, Amos turned to her and their eyes met. He immediately saw the admiration in her eyes. Amos could not help but frown and say, "Don't look at me like that." Eudora was surprised. He added, "I wouldn't be able to control myself if you keep looking at me like that." Eudora was speechless. What a jerk! She quickly looked away. She then heard Amos talking to Juju, "Let's change our performance a little bit. Shall we sing together?" Naturally, Juju had no objection! "Sure!" "Do you know how to sing?" Eudora could not believe her ears. "We will know when we try!" As he said this, Amos quickly took out the lyrics which he had prepared. Then, he divided the parts. Originally, it was Eudora's idea for the three of them to solo the first three stanzas. Then, they
The chubby woman was caught off guard and she stumbled and knocked into the chair behind her. She immediately added some nasty things. "Ouch, you're getting angry? I've disliked you for a long time. You probably hook up with other men just because of your good looks, right? I bet you don't even know who the real father of this child is!" "Shut up!" Eudora said angrily and she slapped the woman. The loud and crisp sound shocked everyone in the hall. The chubby woman's words were really upsetting but no one expected that Eudora, who looked so weak, to be so strong. The chubby woman was stunned by Eudora's slap. After she came back to her senses, she immediately sat on the ground and started crying. "Honey, what are you doing? How could you just watch as we both get bullied? Aren't you going to do anything about it?" Hearing this, the woman's husband squeezed out from the crowd. His whole body was layered with fat and he was marching towards Eudor
The person's flashed towards her and Eudora could not dodge it in time. Before she knew it, that person had already slammed into her. It was so painful that she gritted her teeth. For this reason, that person fell to the ground and could not get up as well. Meanwhile, another person came up from behind and grabbed the woman. "You horrible woman, you're finished today!" Eudora was taken aback and said, "Harley?" Amos and Juju also rushed over to help Eudora. When Amos saw the bruise on Eudora's wrist, his face instantly turned cold. "What's going on?" However, Harley's eyes fell on the child who was riding on Amos' shoulders and said, "Amos, you have fallen. How could a brilliant star like you become like this because of a child? What's the difference between you and those mediocre men now?" The girl who had just bumped into Eudora looked curious and asked, "What do you mean?" "He had become a slave of his daughter!" "Tsk!" The girl
Harry's words were getting more and more upsetting but Amos did not seem to care at all. However, his silhouette looked so lonely from behind. He had always said that he could not be bothered about the Old Master, but in actual fact, he had always cared about him deep down. However, he had never expressed it. That was how Amos was. No matter how much he had suffered, he would rather choose to keep it all to himself. Yet, most of the time, the person who kept everything to himself was the one who suffered the most. Harry was still scolding him but Amos had already turned around. "Uncle, I know that you have nothing to do at home right now and you have no place to vent your anger. However, this is a hospital and I hope that you can be quieter." Harry hated staying at home. He could only stay at home and do nothing ever since that incident five years ago. He got furious when Amos brought it up. "How dare you say that? I'm going to teach you a good lesso
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
