Eudora remained busy the whole night. In the end, she came up with a plan. Although she did not know whether the other party would accept it or not, she thought that, compared to what they had thought of before which was to put most of the resources to build the houses, it was the most suitable solution. When everything was done, it was almost dawn. Eudora yawned and rubbed her eyes. She was a little tired. She originally wanted to lie on the table to take a short nap, but she fell asleep as soon as she laid down. Seeing her breathing gradually calmed down, Amos put down the book in his hands and slowly walked over to pick her up. He knew that if he didn't watch after her, then she probably would not rest. After lowering his head and kissing her forehead, Amos put her on the bed and hugged her to sleep. The next day, when Eudora woke up, it was already afternoon. She heard the sound of packing coming from the other rooms. Harley the
Hearing Amos' voice, Eudora instinctively wanted to cover the scar on her face, but it was too late. He grabbed her arm and examined her forehead with burning eyes for a long time. "The wound is quite deep. I'll bring you to get a tetanus shot!" Eudora hurriedly shook her head, "It's not that serious. I just accidentally knocked it on the ground." "Was it the client from this morning?" Amos's face darkened. Eudora was worried that he would go to do something rash, so she hurriedly explained, "No, I accidentally hit the door frame while walking in! I'm fine, really. Don't worry about it!" Amos didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and went to get the first aid kit. Eudora was shocked, "I didn't even know we had a first aid kit here. How did you know?" "This is your office, are you asking me?" Eudora was tongue-tied. "If I didn't ask you, who else could I ask?" Eudora wondered if this office truly belonged to her.
Eudora accompanied Amos to have a light meal. After laughing at his plaster incident, Eudora's mood was much better. In the afternoon, her mood had shifted for the better, and she was thinking about other projects. Even so, it was a pity that the deal did not go through, because she did have the perfect design. While she was busy, the secretary pushed the door open and came in, "Miss George, someone is looking for you." Eudora was stunned, "Who?" "That..." Before the secretary could finish her sentence, a familiar voice came from outside. "Miss George, it's me! I'm Vann!" This voice? Wasn't it the arrogant client from that morning? Just as she was thinking about the possibility, the other party poked his head out from behind her secretary. "Miss George, it's me. Regarding that project, I think we should have another discussion!" Had he actually changed his mind? Eudora was in a daze while Leslie, who had heard the commotion, c
It was Harley's first visit to Amos's house after coming back from the log cabin. He came alone and took the two children to play in the garden for a while. Seeing a band-aid on Eudora's head, Harley immediately asked curiously, "What's wrong? Have you gone through any harsh incidents again?" Eudora didn't know what to say. Had she met that many bad incidents? It could only be the explanation why when Harley saw her, he immediately thought that she had a bad encounter. Amos maintained a dignified gaze after hearing Harley's words. "It's okay. She just wasn't being careful while walking." After that, Amos took the lead and walked forward, "Let's go to the study room! I have something to tell you." Harley immediately put down the child and followed him quickly. The two of them always had a lot to discuss, so Eudora did not heed them and continued to play with the children. ...... As soon as Amos entered the study room, he went s
At that moment, even if he wanted to hide the truth, he could not. Thea would find out sooner or later. Instead of letting her imagination run wild, he'd better tell it to her by himself. After bringing the child over and helping Thea sit down, Harley began to speak. "Yes, there's just a small problem. Don't panic first. I'll tell you slowly, okay?" How could Thea not be anxious? She was about to cry as soon as she heard his words. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Cutie Pie? It's all my fault..." "No, no!" Harley hurriedly took her into his arm. "It's not your problem. No one can be blamed for this. If anyone has to be blamed, it would be me. He only has a little defect in his body. It happens to any child. Don't be sad. The doctor said that as long as the child undergoes a small operation, he'll be fine!" Although Harley tried very hard to talk about it calmly and had hoped he would soothe Thea, in reality, he still failed. As soon
Fortunately, Amos had come in time. Then, he kept the gun he had been holding in his hand. Harley followed and admired him behind. He was awesome! It turned out that Amos even knew the structure of an excavator. He really was too awesome! Not to mention, he had even managed to stop it with a shot. Why did Harley suddenly feel that it would be better if Amos had become a police officer? Just as he was thinking about it, Amos anxiously walked towards Eudora and looked at her, "Are you alright?" Eudora's eyes lit up, "Amos, why are you here?" "If I didn't come, you'd be in danger again!" Eudora's face went slack and she said, "I'm alright, eh? Perhaps it wasn't that serious after all?" Leslie was still in shock, looking at Amos nervously. "Sorry, Mr. Granger, I..." Amos ignored him and directly held Eudora's hand, "Let's go inside." Amos had been holding a grudge towards Leslie in his heart because Leslie had opposed Amos and Eud
After Eudora found out about the matter, she really did scold Harley. "When did it happen? Why have you waited so long to tell us?! Have you ever seen us as friends?" Harley helplessly held his forehead and apologized, "I'm sorry, I just didn't want you all to worry." "I'm not worried about you. It's Thea I'm worried about! Where is she?" As Eudora spoke, she pushed Harley away and quickly went to the ward with Juju. With Sugar Bun in his hands, Amos raised his eyebrows helplessly at Harley. In the ward, even before opening the door, Eudora already heard Cutie Pie's sad cries. There was also the sound of Thea coaxing the child, and she also sounded like she was on the verge of tears. She had known about Thea's postpartum depression when it started. Now hearing her sorrowful cry, she could not help but still feel a glimmer of sadness in her heart. She hurriedly pushed the door open and went in, calling, "Thea!" Thea heard the voice and loo
Thea's sudden words shocked everyone. Eudora had never thought about this issue for her children this early on. What's more, it was very irresponsible of parents to decide the children's marriage when they were still so young. How could young children know what they liked or disliked? Even more so, they could not understand what it meant to accompany a significant other for the rest of their lives. What could the parents do if the children met someone they loved more after growing up? As for Amos, Juju's father who loved her so much, he would feel that his little princess had been given away if she was suddenly to be engaged to someone else. Of course, he did not want that to happen. Harley wanted to remind Thea about that, but he did not want to make her sad when he saw how elated she was. In the end, it was Juju who asked dumbly, "What's an arranged marriage?" Thea said, "It means when you grow up in the future, you'll marry Cutie Pie,
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
