My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 376
From time to time, the staff could hear Eudora's voice from the fitting room.
"Take off your coat, now put this on, good boy..."
The staff outside were all shocked. Sure enough, in this world, there would always be one person who could suppress even the mightiest man.
Eudora stared at Amos in awe after he had changed into the fresh set of clothes.
"You're so handsome!"
She immediately took out her mobile phone and took selfies with him.
"I want to post this on my social media, is that okay?"
Amos nodded, "Sure!"
How could he say no? She was willing to reveal his significance in her heart to her friends and family. He was elated.
Hence, Amos took the initiative to try all the clothes that Eudora had brought to the fitting room.
In the end, they bought all of it and headed home.
On the way back, Eudora took out her mobile phone and saw Harley's comment.
"Wow, wow, wow. You're so heartless. I'm going to block you."
Then, there was Clint's reply. "President Granger and Miss George are so well-matched." It was then followed by a forced smiling emoji.
Eudora replied without mercy, "You're all just jealous!"
Those two were caught off guard.
Just as she was about to put her phone away, it rang.
From the other side of the phone was the anxious voice of the housekeeper from Christopher's family. "Miss George, bad news. Our Young Master is in trouble!" Eudora was stunned, "What happened?"
"The Young Master went to the Holt family and wanted to bring the Young Madam back. But he has been locked up by the Holt family now. The Holt family said that they wanted the Young Master and the Young Madam to divorce immediately, otherwise, they would not go easy on the Young Master! The Old Master has already fallen ill out of worry for his son. Now, you're the only one who could help the Young Master, Miss George!"
Eudora frowned, "The elders of the Holt family are too unreasonable, aren't they?"
After hanging up the phone, she held Amos' arm. "Could you lend him a hand?"
Amos overheard the conversation and he immediately nodded, "I know. I'll get on it right away."
Eudora was happy. She raised her head and planted a kiss on his cheek, "You're the best!"
Amos frowned, "I would be happier if this wasn't for Christopher."
Eudora was speechless.
"This was never for Christopher. He's just a friend, and you are my husband. It's totally different!"
Amos's lips curled up slightly, "You little fox..."
Clint quickly contacted the other party and used the power of Amos' name in Rosaville City, but the Holt family was unrelenting. They said if the Granger family wanted to have a say in this, then Amos would have to visit them in person.
The Holt family was indeed one of the most powerful families in the city. Even Amos couldn't make them change their mind.
"It seems that I have to go there in person."
Clint said hurriedly, "Mr. Granger, the Holt family is very powerful in Greene City. Based on our current situation, we'd better not confront them head-on!"
Amos understood what Clint was implying. However, Eudora had already asked for his help.
Ever since she lost her memories, it seemed as though she did not like to bother him too much about anything. Although they were lovers, it still felt like they were quite distant.
It was not easy for her to take the initiative to ask for his help. Therefore, he would try to get it done at all costs.
"It's okay. Go ahead and make the necessary arrangements. Book a flight tonight. I'll go over immediately."
"But what about Miss George..." Clint hesitated. "Just tell her that I'm going on a business trip."
Amos then hung up the phone and leaned against the chair to get some shut-eye.
Eudora and Juju were reading an album when he made his way downstairs later that night. The pair looked incredibly happy. It was a heartwarming scene.
Amos went over and held Juju in his arms. He kissed her and said.
"Juju, Daddy has some work to attend to, and I need to go on a business trip for two days. Listen to your Mommy while I'm away, okay?"
Eudora was stunned, "Is the matter related to Christopher?"
What a smart woman! She figured it out in a second.
"No!" Amos said, "It's my own work. Christopher's matter is not a big deal. I've already asked Clint to take care of it."
Amos was an unfathomable man, to begin with. Now that there was something that he did not want her to know, he could hide it without any suspicion. Eudora nodded. "Oh! When will you come back then?"
Her anxious inquiry warmed Amos's heart.
He reached out and held the two women in his arms. He smiled, "I'll be back soon. Maybe around two to three days?"
"Stay safe, Daddy!" Juju stretched her head out and pecked on Amos' cheek. Amos pointed to the other side, indicating for Eudora to kiss him too. Eudora nodded, "Come back soon."
"Sure!" Amos let go of them and said, "I will ask Charlie to watch over you two. Stay safe when I am not around."
Eudora shook her head hurriedly, "Shouldn't Charlie follow you instead? You need a helping hand when you're out there."
"It's okay! I know what I'm doing."
After finishing his sentence, he headed for the airport.
Eudora stood up instinctively, "I'll drive you there."
Amos smiled. "Are you that reluctant to part with me?"
Eudora blushed, "Nonsense!"
"Then wait for me at home!" He stroked her hair and got into the car.
After the car left, Eudora realized that she seemed to have been tricked by Amos.
For the next two days, due to Amos' absence, Eudora sent Juju to school and went to work at the company alone.
Charlie was quiet. Sometimes, Eudora could not even feel his presence. It was as though he did not exist at all.
On this day, the weather was very hot. After leaving the company, Eudora went to the new construction site. The sun was scorching since morning. When she was drinking water, Eudora thought of Charlie, so she asked him to come out. She then gave him a bottle of water.
"I'm actually very safe. You don't need to follow me everywhere! Moreover, I know some martial arts skills now!"
Charlie took the water and thanked her, "This is my job. Mr. Granger gave me the order, so I have to perform my duty."
"But you're protecting me now. I'm the one who's in charge."
He ignored her, "I only listen to Mr. Granger!"
Eudora could only sigh helplessly. "Alrigh then."
She was about to turn around when Charlie's phone rang.
She couldn't hear the conversation, but she saw Charlie's face gradually turned grave.
Eudora was stunned, "Did something happen?"
He immediately shook his head, "Everything is fine!" Then, he hung up the phone.
Eudora thought his expression was a little strange. Charlie was very distracted for the whole afternoon. Later, many people learned about his existence.
He had always been like a shadow, never let anyone knew of his existence.
He was now so distracted that his presence had been noticed by others. The more Eudora looked at him, the more she felt something was odd.
When they returned home, Eudora asked him, "Is everything okay? If there are some matters that you need to attend to, I could give you an off day!" Charlie subconsciously rejected. But shortly after, he changed his mind.
"Miss George, will you be okay if I step aside for a moment?"
