Amos froze for a second and asked, "Why do you ask such a question?" Her conversation with the Old Master about how a child should grow up in a loving environment echoed in her thoughts. "No reason. If you are..." She replied. "I don't want to!" Amos quickly interrupted. It was as if he was afraid that she would blurt out more unreasonable requests. He added, "Who do you think you are? We are not in that kind of relationship. Having a child with you is not what I look for." "Oh!" Eudora's heart skipped a beat. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked such an absurd question." Although she knew in her heart that this was going to happen, she still felt inexplicably upset and disappointed when she heard it herself from Amos. Even though she knew that she shouldn't have expected much from their relationship since the beginning, but she realised that perhaps deep inside her heart, there was still a little sliver of hope. Annoyed at her facial
Eudora couldn't move at all as she was immobilized by the overturned car. Her body was dyed red with blood. No one would be able to tell where she was injured. Harley's heart skipped a beat and subconsciously glanced at Amos. His eyes were bloodshot and a little glassy. His expression was extremely scary. "Amos..." Harley whispered. "Don't talk to me!" Amos yelled. He grabbed a stick from the fireman and joined the rescue. When Eudora was dragged out of the car, her breathing was already very shallow. Amos pushed away the men who were about to put her onto the stretcher. Amos shouted in his heart, "No one can touch her. No one!" It was the first time Harley saw Amos behaving like that. He had never shown his fear despite being through so many adversities in the past. He carried Eudora onto the ambulance. The nurse came to stop the bleeding right away. One of the nurses said, "Sir, please give way. It will be hard for us to help her if you
His lips brushed hers, softly and delicately. The excitement in his heart was about to explode. Eudora's heart skipped a beat. She relaxed her tense muscles and responded to his kiss passionately. They stopped after a while, both panting. "Don't ever leave me," he whispered. Eudora was frozen at his words. She didn't know what he meant. A nurse came into her room to change her bandage while she was about to clarify her doubt. After the nurse left, he told, "See you later. I'll go out for a while." Eudora nodded. Her head still hurt. She fell asleep again after closing her eyes. ...... Clint was waiting for Amos outside Eudora's room. As soon as they got in the car, Clint updated, "The preliminary result of the police investigation shows that the driver was fatigued while he was driving this morning, which then led to the accident. They are closing the case soon." Amos narrowed his eyes. His prediction was accurate. "What
Auntie Valerie was shocked when she saw the scene, "What happened? I will call a doctor…" "No! It's fine!" Eudora said, "Could you please get a towel for me? He will be fine after a while." Auntie Valerie was a bit doubtful but Eudora seemed to be very confident. She brought a damp towel over hurriedly, to which Eudora then wiped Amos' body gently with it. She left out a sigh of relief when she noticed that his condition was improving. Auntie Valerie was stunned, "How could this be possible..." Amos' sudden relapse took a toll on Eudora's already poor health. She was extremely worried about him earlier, and now that he was getting better, Eudora felt as though she was about to collapse on the ground. Auntie Valerie quickly helped her back to her bed. She then looked at Amos, who was breathing normally. She shook her head and said, "Miss George, please have a good rest. I will stay here with him." Eudora nodded but she was still wo
After seeing the little woman blushed, Amos Granger reluctantly gave her one last kiss and let her go. Suddenly, Amos' phone rang. He took his phone and went out. Eudora George patted her cheeks, and felt a little flustered. He picked up the phone, but no one spoke. Amos frowned and took a look at the phone number. It was an anonymous number that had not been saved in his contacts. He thought it was a scam call. He hung up and called Clint Zuckerberg. "What's the progress on Samantha Cooper?" asked Amos. "I was about to call you. Samantha Cooper ran away. Just now, the police arrived at her residence but she was already gone. Now we are trying our best to find her." said Clint in a heavy tone. Amos frowned. When he thought of the unknown phone call just now, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. "Oh no." He hurriedly turned around and ran to the ward. ...... In the ward, the door was pushed open again as Eudora lay down on the
Their love for each other raised the temperature in the ward. Amos Granger let go of Eudora before he felt breathless. He tidied up her hair and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's sleep." Eudora George looked at him in a daze, and her eyes dimmed instantly. "Oh!" "Are you disappointed?" Amos chuckled. "You haven't recovered yet..." Eudora blushed and she subconsciously pulled up the quilt to cover herself. She must be crazy to think of doing that with Amos in here. Not to mention that her body had not fully recovered, this place was not suitable at all. She was really embarrassed. Seeing that she was so embarrassed, the man chuckled and said, "I am very happy." Seeing Amos's happy expression, she was happy as well. That night, she slept soundly as if she was a child who was sleeping beside her mother. The sense of security made her forget all her worries. The next day, when Eudora woke up, Amos was still asleep.
Aunt Valerie came into the room with a bowl of chicken soup in her hand. "Come, it's time to drink some soup." said Aunt Valerie. "Can I not drink it?" Eudora George was about to throw up as she had been drinking so much chicken soup recently. "No!" Amos Granger laughed. "How can you give birth to a baby if your body is weak?" "He's at it again!"Eudora thought. Eudora bit her lips and stared at him, meanwhile Aunt Valerie was very happy. "Are Miss and Sir finally ready to have a baby? Isn't that a good thing? Oh no, I have to prepare some other nutritional products for Miss then." Eudora was speechless. Amos changed the topic of conversation as he saw the little woman was about to have a mental breakdown. "I'll go out for a while. You stay here with her. Don't leave her alone at all." Amos instructed Aunt Valerie. Aunt Valerie nodded. Amos bowed his head and kissed Eudora's forehead before leaving the room.
Amos Granger shook his head helplessly. If Eudora was a man, she might be even more of a workaholic than he was. After that, Amos took a book out casually. He suddenly felt that he was just like an old man, relaxed and calm. When his phone rang, he opened the door and went out. Clint's voice came anxiously from the phone, "President Granger, it is confirmed that Second Master Harry had used the funds that we have collected to buy some piece of land. After investigating, I found out that the owner of the land was he himself, even though the official legal owner was registered under his wife's brother's name." Harry Granger finally couldn't hold back his greed anymore. Amos smiled faintly, "What about the Cooper family?" "Jeremy Cooper worked well with Thomas Shelby last time. He thought that he would get the deal easily, but he didn't expect that there would be a competitor all of a sudden. He must be very upset after losing to Second Master Harry
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
