My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 143

The butler had already walked over. "Miss Liam, please!"

Wendy Liam had no choice but to follow the butler.

After the butler left, Old Master Granger looked at Amos Granger and Eudora George. "Amos, stay here. Miss George, you should go back too!"

Eudora realized that the old man's attitude toward her had changed just now because he didn't like Wendy. After all, with his age and experience, he was an expert when it came to judging others, so he could tell that Wendy was not a good person with just a glance.

That was why he had used her as a shield.

However, Eudora didn't like to be here anyway, so she immediately stated her position. "Okay!"

Unexpectedly, Amos grabbed her hand and said, "I am the head of the Granger family. Without my order, who dares to ask you to leave?"

This angered the old man, who then chided loudly, "I'm not dead yet!"

However, Amos turned a deaf ear, "Okay, then I'll retire from Valiant East now!"

"You..." This was Old Master Granger's bottom line. He could not allow Amos leave the Valiant East.

Since there was no way to stop Amos from getting his way, the old man turned around and went upstairs, trembling. Amos took Eudora to their room.

After sitting down, Eudora looked around the room and said in an awkward tone, "Actually, I don't want to stay here at all. You don't have to quarrel with the Old Master because of me."

"I don't want to stay either, but now you have to," Amos ordered in return.

He could tell what Wendy was thinking. In the past, he had treated her kindly because she was, after all, a person who had saved him. However, after so many confrontations, he could see past her tricks too. However, since he was indebted to her, Amos didn't want to make things too awkward. He thought it was great if Wendy knew that she had to back off now.

Moreover, the most important thing was that Eudora could not avoid him here like she did at home.

Amos smirked, "Why don't you take a shower first?"

Eudora was stunned. "Okay!"

Why did it sound like she was having an affair?"

Eudora had stayed at the mansion before, and everything was always well prepared. When she came out from the bathroom, she saw Amos leaning on the bed and looking at her lazily. "Come here."

Eudora frowned and said, "You should wash up too."

"Don't worry!" Amos said, and then patted the seat beside him, motioning Eudora to sit. The next second, he reached out his hand and took her into his arms. The tip of his nose was buried into her exposed neck. It felt slightly cold and Eudora's whole body immediately stiffed.

The man's low voice rang vaguely. "Are you satisfied with my recent performance?"

Eudora was stunned and looked up at him. After a while, she realized that he was talking about his recent performance with Wendy and him having released Christopher Gellert.

"Yes!" Eudora nodded.

He lifted the corners of his mouth slightly and suddenly pulled Eudora in front of him. Amos gazed at her earnestly with his big, bright eyes. It was obvious he was trying to earn praise from her. Eudora was speechless.

After a long while, she reached out and touched his head. "Good boy."

Her soft, little hand rubbing his head surged a warm current through his heart. But the next second, Amos stiffed again.

Why was this action... so familiar?

Could it be that... Cola!

Was this woman coaxing him as if he was Cola?

With a swift motion, he grabbed her wrist, flipped his body over, and pressed her on the bed. "How dare you? Do you regard me as Cola?"

Only then did Eudora realize that she had done just that. She immediately pursed her lips. "I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Amos had lowered his head and kissed her passionately. As a little punishment, he bit her lips.

Feeling the tiny pain, she winced a little.

"Didn't you say that you're not Cola? Why are you biting too?"

"What?"

"Nothing!" Eudora quickly turned her head and looked at the ground obediently.

She had become like this recently as if she was soulless and had lost all her energy. Amos knew that although he was trying his best, there was still a gap between them because of Wendy.

This stubborn little woman was still determined to leave him.

Amos frowned and suddenly remembered something. "Let's go for a vacation this weekend, okay? We've built an island resort in the south of Rosaville City. We could fly kites there."

Kites...

Eudora smiled bitterly. Her kite was already broken into pieces.

"I don't want to fly a kite anymore!"

"Then let's just go there and have some fun together." After that, he added, "You are not allowed to refuse."

"Alright." Eudora agreed. Amos kissed her on the forehead and then walked into the bathroom.

At the same time, after Wendy was sent back, she was so mad that she smashed all the ornaments in the room. If the Old Master was like this, didn't that mean that Eudora was officially a part of the Granger family now? What about her? It can't be!

She thought for a moment and finally took out her cell phone. She found the address that the man had sent to her.

Amos took Eudora to the holiday resort over the weekend.

It was indeed a gorgeous place. Eudora had searched online, and it was said that this holiday resort was the latest development project spearheaded by Valiant East. It was a five-star holiday resort emphasizing on leisure and entertainment.

Their room had been reserved prior. When Eudora stepped into the room, she found that everything inside, from the interior to the bedsheets, was fitted to her liking.

Seeing her in a daze, the staff said with a smile, "President Granger personally made this for you. He even supervised and tweaked the whole set up himself!"

While saying all this, she looked at Eudora enviously, as if she was a very lucky person.

Eudora also felt that she was very lucky. If only she could get rid of the feeling of restraint in her heart...

While she was still lost in her thoughts, Amos came in from the outside and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Do you like it?"

"Yes!" Eudora nodded.

Amos was very pleased and took her by the hand warmly. "Let's go swimming!"

Just as they arrived at the swimming pool, Eudora heard Harley's voice ringing cheerfully behind. "What a coincidence. Why are you here?" Amos narrowed his eyes. "Is it really a coincidence?"

"Is it not?"

"What?"

Harley Louis immediately gave in. "Unfortunately, I came here on purpose." After that, he smiled at Eudora and said, "I miss your cooking..."

"No!" Amos butted in at once, shattering his dreams.

Harley suddenly joked, "Amos, my heart is broken."

Eudora couldn't help but laugh. "In that case, I'll cook dinner tonight."

Harley paused. "Eudora treats me the best! Dearest Eudora, could I please have some mushroom soup, mashed potatoes, steak..."

"Enough!" Amos gnashed his teeth irritatedly.

"Okay, you should decide on the remaining dishes yourself, Eudora. I won't disturb you two anymore then!" After saying that affectionately, Harley jumped into the water and swam like a fish. Amos' face was still dark. "I'll call the restaurant in the resort to arrange it."

"It's fine," Eudora smiled at him, "You can swim here. I don't like swimming that much. I'll just head back to cook." Amos shook his head. "I'll go with you."
