Kaylene's words seemed to have evoked Bethany's sadness. She paused, "Hank was indeed a good child. Whenever we celebrated his birthday, he would always give me the first piece of cake and he would say that the birthday of a child is a day of suffering for the mother. Back then, he had always said that he would make it up to me once he grows up but who knew that he..." Bethany was visibly saddened when she spoke of this. Her fingers paused and she wiped the corner of her eyes. "Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore." Kaylene dared not say anything else when she realized that Bethany was upset. She said hurriedly, "Shall I take you back for a rest?" "No, you should head back first. I'll stay here for a little while more!" Kaylene turned around and left. She immediately frowned after closing the door behind her. She glanced in the direction where Eudora was staying at and then walked back to her own room. There were several small buildings in the
The man's familiar scent surrounded her and he said, "You really moved out!" Eudora was taken aback. At that moment, she just realized that she was not in Amos' room. "Why are you still here then? Get out of here, else they will think that I've seduced you!" There was a hidden smile in Amos' eyes, "You have always seduced me." "Nonsense!" Eudora pursed her lips, "You came in here yourself. When did I ever seduce you? I haven't seen you for the whole evening by the way!" "You have not seen me for the whole evening because you had been seducing me the whole time in my mind!" Eudora was speechless. He was being unreasonable. He then hugged her again and said, "Did anyone make things difficult for you?" "No!" Eudora shook her head. "That's good!" His eyes then fell on the resume that she had submitted online, "Are you looking for work?" "I'm looking for a job that allows me to work from home so that I could take care of Juju. How
Amos knocked on the door and Eudora's voice came from the room. "This is our room. Go back to your room!" Amos burst into laughter. The little fox was really angry. At this moment, Juju was playing with her toys in the room and she did not notice anything. She did not even realize that Eudora's cheeks had gotten even redder after returning to the room. Why did that jerk suddenly mention their past? Amos' voice came from outside the door again. Unlike just now, his voice was now a little sad and bitter. "The key to my room is in the wallet that I had given to you this afternoon. You won't let me stay outside for the night, would you?" Eudora then came back to her senses. She hurried to look for the key in his wallet. Yet, she could not find it and she said, "Your key is not in the wallet!" "It must be in your room then!" Eudora searched everywhere in the room but she still could not find it. She forgot about the embarrassing situatio
The child whom the woman had brought back was an eight-year-old boy. Just like that, they began to live in the Granger family. The next morning, Eudora was awakened by a warm kiss. She saw Amos' handsome face as soon as she opened her eyes. She took a deep breath, still groggy. Amos let go of her and caressed her head. "I'm heading to work. You should sleep for a while longer. You'd better not interact with that mother and son downstairs for the time being. It won't be good if something happens." Eudora nodded in confusion and returned to sleep with Juju in her arms. She slept for a while and it was almost 9 a.m. when she got up to get ready. She had just freshened herself up when she heard someone knocking on her door. Eudora quickly went to open it. It was the woman from the day before, and she had a smile plastered across her face, "Hello, I went to the kitchen to make some of my child's favorite breakfast. I've made a few extras and I remembered
Everyone was quiet after hearing what Tiffany had said, so she asked again, "Who was poisoned?" "A servant at home!" the butler replied. "A servant? How could it be possible? I only gave my cake to Miss George. How could a servant be poisoned if I had never given it to anyone else?" As she said this, she turned to look at Eudora, "Miss George, could you please tell me what's going on now? How could you do this to my good intentions?" Eudora remained silent. She studied Tiffany carefully and wondered what had gone wrong. She had never left her room ever since Tiffany gave her the cake until it was being thrown away. However, if Tiffany was not the one who had poisoned the cake, then who could it be? Harry, who was standing next to her, said, "Miss Leon, don't be anxious. Let's have a face-to-face discussion since you're already here. Eudora said that you were the one who had given her the cake, so we called you over. Tell me, have you seen anyone befo
The little woman and the little girl's bright smiles immediately crossed Amos' mind. He shook his head, "No, let them play. Let them know that I need to go on a business trip for the next two days. I'll come back the day after tomorrow." "Okay!" the butler replied and hung up the phone. After the call ended, the Old Master next to him asked, "What did Amos say?" "The Second Young Master said that he needs to go on a business trip for the next two days and so he asked me to inform Miss George about it." Old Master Granger did not look away. Instead, he stared at the butler expectantly. The butler was taken aback, "Yes?" The Old Master's face suddenly sank, "Didn't he tell you to let me know about this as well?" "No," the butler replied. "That b*stard!" The old man gritted his teeth, "Alright, you may leave now!" The butler nodded but he could not help but ask, "What about Miss George..." "Mind your own business and don't ask the thin
Juju's childlike voice was very heart-wrenching, especially when it was already so dark at night. Eudora hugged her hurriedly, "Juju, don't do this..." Juju shouted for a long time but no one responded. After that, she threw herself into Eudora's arms. Eudora thought Juju would cry like she did before, but to her surprise, Juju remained perfectly calm. She just rubbed herself against Eudora. "Mommy, I will protect you in the future!" "Juju..." ...... It was late at night. The sound of howling rain could be heard and a gust of wind blew in through the cracks of the door. Eudora could not help but shrink her body as she held onto Juju tightly. Juju was already tired from shouting and she had since fallen asleep. However, Eudora could not sleep. The floor was too cold because it was paved with marble tiles, and even the walls were made of marble. It was cold everywhere and it seemed like they were in an ice cellar. It was difficult for
Eudora George was still lying on the bed and she had yet to wake up. However, the warmth was beginning to return to her body. Amos Granger reached out to help her up. He whispered to her, "Eudora, get up and eat something." Eudora was still in a trance and she seemed to be mumbling something under her breath. Amos leaned over hurriedly to listen to what she was saying. He then realized that she was calling his name over and over again. "Amos, I'm sorry..." Amos' heart tightened. She had already fallen sick and yet she was still apologizing to him. It was obvious that he was the one who should be sorry! He held her hurriedly in his arms, "Eudora, don't say that. It's my fault. When I called home yesterday, I should have known that something was off when I didn't get to hear your voice. I trusted others too much. I did not expect this to happen. It's all my fault." Eudora was still in a daze and Amos was getting a little anxious. When he turned to see that J
