Amos was surprised by her unexpected actions, and he subconsciously pulled back. Eudora paused for a moment then kissed him on the ear instead. Eudora was a little disappointed. When she saw how confident he had been acting a moment ago, she thought that he had already gotten over his issues. However, there were still some walls around him. She was deep in thought. Then, Amos spoke, "I'm sorry, but I still need some time." Eudora nodded and swept away the doubts in her heart. "It's okay!" After Amos settled the matter, he returned. Sugar Bun was still waiting at home, and someone had to take care of him. Eudora stayed back to finish some work. Although it was quiet in the company, Eudora still felt depressed when she thought of how Amos had avoided her. Just as she was thinking about that, the phone rang. Eudora answered the phone. Doctor Leon's voice trailed into her ear, "I saw the news. Is Amos all right?" "He's
In Clearwater Bay. It was getting dark, but Eudora had not returned home yet. Amos grew a little anxious, thus he gave the company a call to check on her. "Are you all still working?" Clint had been busy all day because he had been dealing with some matters on Eudora's behalf. Hearing this, he said, "Everyone else has gone off work! Miss George has left too! Did something..." Before he could finish speaking, Amos had already hung up the phone. He asked Cindy to take care of Sugar Bun, and immediately called Charlie. He ordered, "Conduct an investigation immediately. Find out where Eudora has gone!" Charlie was anxious as well. Lately, something major would happen to Eudora and Amos once every few days. Now that she was missing, he felt even more on edge. He no longer dared to delay for a second and immediately went to investigate her whereabouts. A moment later, Charlie came back to inform Amos. He said, "I've tracked the GPS
"Don't say a word. I'll tell her myself!" Amos said. Of course, Charlie understood that the matter was supposed to be a conversation between Amos and Eudora and he was adamant about not being involved. "Okay! I know nothing. I'm off to work then." ...... Eudora was standing outside the bathroom. She was thinking about whether she should take a bath. She heard Amos opening the door and entering the bedroom, thus she quickly walked into the bathroom. The next second, Amos grabbed her, pulling her back. He asked, "What are you doing? You're injured. What if you slip?" "I'm fine!" Eudora gave the same reply. The next second, Amos slapped her butt mercilessly. "Why are you being so disobedient?" Eudora frowned as his slap had been quite hard. "Why are you hitting me?!" "If I didn't hit you, you would be even more disobedient! Who told you not to protect yourself?" "I was just going to take a bath! Are you telling
Doctor Leon had been waiting in the clinic for a long time, but Amos was nowhere to be found. Doctor Oscar stood up and said, "I don't think he's coming today, so I'll head back first!" "Don't! Just wait for a while longer. He'll definitely come today!" Doctor Oscar was puzzled, "Why are you so sure? You were never so confident when we were abroad!" "That's because we didn't have a secret weapon when we were abroad! Now, we have it!" Doctor Leon then raised his wrist and glanced at his wristwatch. He said, "He's coming!" Doctor Oscar looked out the window. Amazingly, Amos was indeed here! He was here at the exact moment that Doctor Leon had expected. Doctor Oscar's jaw hit the floor, but he quickly recovered his composure. "He must have been forced to come! You've forgotten how he used to be like. Although he's here, he won't cooperate with the examination!" Doctor Leon smiled mysteriously, "We'll see!" Eudora had alre
It turned out that ever since Eudora had left the wooden cabin, Tina and Christopher had left too. However, they did not go back to the Gellert family home. Instead, they moved into a place of their own. Now, Tina was still focused on taking care of Christopher as she always did. Although Christopher was working for the Gellert family, the fact that Tina was focusing all her attention on Christopher had not been affected. Two days ago, there had been a team-building activity in the company. Initially, both Tina and Christopher were unwilling to attend. However, in order to consolidate his status, Anthony made it compulsory for all the employees to attend. Therefore, Christopher had no choice but to go. Therefore, Tina followed Christopher along. However, she only stayed in the same hotel and did not join the team-building activities. Every day, she would prepare delicious food for Christopher! Truth be told, many colleagues in the company knew about
At night, while Eudora was laying in bed, she still felt puzzled. "What's going on with Christopher? Did he trick Tina again? Will Tina get angry at him for that? What if it affects the baby?" Women would usually overthink and confuse themselves even more in this sort of situation. Then, he looked at Amos who was remaining calm. "Christopher didn't look like he was lying the last time. He must have undergone the vasectomy for real! As for why she has gotten pregnant, it's hard to say." Eudora became anxious as she retorted, "Nonsense, Tina is not that kind of person. She loves Christopher and would never cheat on him!" Amos was rendered speechless. He helplessly turned his head to look at Eudora. Whenever she worked, she would come off as a smart and tough woman. However, she was still as naïve as ever when it came to matters in life! "Of course I believe in Tina! What I'm saying is that Christopher..." Amos murmured as he checked h
"I'm absolutely certain! I'll bear all the responsibilities if anything goes wrong." Doctor Oscar nodded weakly while muttering, "You're crazy! You must be crazy!" Amos turned around and brushed Doctor Oscar aside. Doctor Leon went into the room after he saw Amos leave. Doctor Oscar was still muttering to himself. Doctor Oscar was still muttering to himself, "He's crazy! Do you know that? He's crazy!" Doctor Leon was not surprised at all, "I'm guessing he asked you to restore him to his previous state by any means necessary, right?" "How do you know that? Are you God?" "I'm not God!" Doctor Leon smiled and said, "It's just that I know him too well. If he chose not to come, he probably cared little about how he looked. However, just like women, men would also want to look their best for their lovers! He loves Eudora and his children, so how can he accept his current appearance?" Doctor Oscar nodded in admiration, "You're right! Why didn't
Three days had elapsed in the blink of an eye. It was finally the day of the operation. Since getting up in the morning, Eudora did not dare to talk about the operation. After she had her breakfast, she followed Amos's request and went to work. However, how could she possibly focus on work? The day before, Clint had already freed her day from her work. She was to spend all of her energy today accompanying Amos. After walking around the company, she looked at the time and figured that Amos should currently be in the operating theatre. She quickly rushed to the hospital. As soon as she entered, she saw Helen waiting outside. Beside Helen was a refined-looking man with gold-rimmed glasses. He was holding Helen's hand with his large ones, thus he was most likely Helen's husband. Helen greeted Eudora. "Dad has gone in too. He's an expert. Amos has gotten injured before this and since his organs might be affected by that time, it's safer
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
