My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 258
Harry Granger smiled calmly and said.
"Don't be angry. After all, Brother is already old. It's not surprising if he couldn't see the truth before his eyes."
"That's right!" Kaylene Yoder laughed. "Don't be impulsive. After all, this is a good day for Vincent. As long as he has a place in the Granger family in the future, you would live a good life too. No matter what, you can't embarrass the Granger family, okay?"
Tiffany Leon snorted, "Of course I won't."
After that, she left with her chin held high.
Harry and Kaylene exchanged meaningful glances and their eyes were full of schemes.
Eudora George played with Juju in the back garden for a while, but Amos Granger had yet to arrive. Both of them got a little bored, so they gave him a call.
"Why haven't you arrived yet? Are you still busy at the company?"
"Yes, but it's a small issue and I'm dealing with it now. I'll be there shortly."
"Oh!" Eudora answered softly. Laughter could then be heard from the other end of the phone, "Do you miss me?" Eudora was taken aback, "Who would miss you?" "Stop lying, sweetheart. Just admit it!"
This guy... Eudora quickly hung up the phone.
Concurrently, Amos was in a meeting. Upon hearing his conversation, everyone in the room looked up at him suspiciously.
What was going on? Who was President Granger talking to?
Sweetheart? Was President Granger talking to his child?
At this moment, Amos had already stood up, "Stay here and continue with the meeting. Let me know the final results. I have some urgent matters to deal with now, so I have to go first." After that, he left the room before anyone could react.
The rest of them stared at each other in dismay.
After Eudora hung up the phone, she was about to bring Juju into the hall when she saw Christopher Gellert coming in with Tina Holt.
Christopher was walking fast with Tina following behind him.
Christopher smiled when he saw the Juju, "Juju?"
Juju took a glance at Tina who was behind Christopher and said in a pleasant voice, "Uncle Gellert, why didn't you wait for the lady? That's not what a gentleman does!" Christopher did not know what to say. Tina, who was behind him, immediately agreed, "Little darling, you're right. Your Uncle Gellert is not a gentleman at all." Christopher frowned, "Tina!"
"I'm not talking to you!" Tina turned her head away, "Juju, would you please take me to replace a place to sit down? I'm so tired."
Juju liked Tina, so she thought of bringing her in. At this moment, Eudora said hurriedly, "Juju, come here. Didn't we agree to go over there just now?"
"But..." Juju stared at Tina. Eudora then replied immediately. "Your Uncle Gellert will take her."
Christopher's eyes darkened but he immediately nodded, "Yes, I will."
Tina stared in a daze as Juju and Eudora left.
All of a sudden, a pair of big hands held onto her arm, "Let's go!"
Tina was surprised, "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you say that you are tired? I'll take you somewhere so you could rest."
Tina pursed her lips, "Not bad. I'll try to put in a good word for you in front of Juju next time."
"That's none of your business..."
The two of them argued as they walked away together.
Only then did Eudora turn around and smile at their silhouette.
At that moment, Tiffany appeared in front of her with a glass of wine in her hands. "What happened in the past was just a misunderstanding. Since we will be living under the same roof in the future, I hope that what had happened in the past will not affect our relationship. Let me propose a toast to you."
Eudora shook her head, "I don't drink."
Tiffany was taken aback, "Are you not going to forgive me?"
"This is not a matter of forgiveness. I really can't drink and I have to take care of my child. I have to go first."
Eudora then immediately left. Tiffany frowned as she stared at Eudora's back. Her face gradually darkened. Eudora really was stubborn.
However...
She glanced at Christopher, who was drinking not far away, and her lips curled.
Christopher seemed to be in a bad mood. He drank a lot of wine, one glass after another, and soon, his vision started to blur. Tina was trying to tell him off but he refused to listen. She was so angry that she just wanted to shove him away.
However, in the end, she could not leave him be and got up. She asked a waiter nearby, "Do you have a lounge here?"
They would set up a lounge in case anyone got drunk in such occasions. Therefore, the waiter pointed to a direction and Tina helped Christopher up. The two of them then headed to the lounge. Christopher could usually hold his liquor. However, it sometimes happened when he was in a bad mood, and that was why he took the advantage of the alcohol to ease his sorrow. Therefore, he became drunk rather quickly.
After lowering him to the sofa, Tina noticed that he was mumbling nonsense under his breath, so she leaned over to listen.
He called, "Eudora..."
Tina immediately sat up straight as if she had heard something she should not.
She was a little upset and got up hurriedly. Just as she was about to leave, Christopher suddenly pulled her back, "Don't go, please don't go."
That man exerted a lot of strength so he managed to pull her over and pin her under him. Tina was anxious and angry. She pushed him away instantly and opened the door to leave.
When Eudora went to the bathroom with Juju, she bumped into Tina when she came out.
Her cheeks were red and she was washing her face at the basin. When Juju saw it, she walked over to Tina and asked, "Auntie, are you feeling unwell?"
"Ah, no!" Tina shook her head.
Eudora seemed to have noticed something, hence she said, "Juju, why don't you talk to Auntie for a while? Mommy is going to the bathroom."
"Okay! Auntie, shall we go outside?" Juju had a conversation with Tina as they went out.
Tina's mood would surely recover soon with Juju next to her. Just as she was about to return to the bathroom, a figure suddenly appeared from a dark corner. The next second, she heard a thud and everything went black.
Meanwhile, the banquet was about to begin. Old Master Granger looked around and frowned slightly.
"Where's Amos? This is such an important occasion, but why isn't he coming? What on earth is on his mind?"
Harry replied hurriedly, "Well, I don't know. I'll call him immediately."
"What about Juju and Eudora? None of them pay any attention to family matters. What are they thinking?"
Seeing that the Old Master was about to get angry, Kaylene said hurriedly, "Eudora and Juju were here just now. Maybe they went to the bathroom? I'll ask someone to check on them now...."
Bethany reached out and patted the Old Master on the back, "They didn't mean that. Don't be angry. Come and take a sip of water."
The Old Master's expression softened a little and he picked up his glass to take a sip of water.
However, before he could swallow it, the person who had gone to look for Eudora had returned. "Old Master, Miss George..."
The Old Master was taken aback, "What's wrong?"
Kaylene immediately chipped in, "Just say what you have to say. Stop stammering."
