My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 595
Coincidentally, Amos was also having his lunch at this very restaurant. As soon as he came in, he saw Eudora and Fabian talking to each other by the window. Clint was a little startled. "President Granger..."
Amos withdrew his gaze, turned around, and entered the room.
Once Amos left, Fabian also mentioned, "Let's head back in!"
Eudora didn't want to go in, so she found an excuse. "I want to go to the bathroom."
"I'm heading back in first then."
When Eudora came out from the bathroom, she saw Amos smoking as he leaned against the wall in the corridor.
Against the light, she couldn't see his face clearly. However, Eudora still remembered this scene vividly.
It reminded her of the first time she officially met Amos. The only difference was that they were at the Granger Mansion in Rosaville City at that time.
Now that she thought about it, it had been six years since then!
Eudora took a deep breath and went over. When she walked past Amos, the man reached out and stopped her by her tracks.
"Aren't you very smart? Why don't you seem that smart anymore when you're facing someone you have feelings for?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but Eudora didn't quite understand what he meant.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you know who the Nolan family is? Are you going to throw yourself at them like a moth to a flame? Where is the Eudora, who was always cautious when we were together? Or have you lost it after meeting a handsome man?"
Amos felt edgy when he saw the two of them were standing by the window just now. It looked as though they were discussing their future together.
Eudora initially did not want to rebut Amos' words. However, it was really unpleasant to hear him holding her at gunpoint with such accusations. Eudora frowned. "My matters are for me to handle. I don't need you to worry about me, President Granger!"
Amos was so infuriated, "You're an idot!"
Eudora gritted her teeth. "So what?!"
Amos went back angrily after Eudora left. Clint said hurriedly, "President Granger, the food is ready. Would you like to add more dishes?"
"I don't want to eat anymore. Let's go back!"
Clint was left perplexed.
"But we haven't eaten yet!"
"I'm not hungry! Are you?"
Clint looked depressed and he thought, "I'm so hungry. But how could I be honest when you're looking like you were going to swallow me alive?"
When they were outside, Clint asked, "Then... are we still going for milkshake?"
Amos snorted and said, "I'm going to Harley's."
Harley was enjoying basking under the sun with his wife at home. Hearing the doorbell, Thea got up and opened the door.
"Mr. Granger! He's inside. I'll prepare tea for you."
Amos glanced at Thea's belly from the corner of his eyes and said, "It's fine, just sit down!" Thea froze on the spot. This was the first time he spoke this way to her after knowing him for a long time. Thea looked at her belly and finally understood.
Perhaps it was a habit that he had developed after Eudora's pregnancy.
"It's okay! I can do it!" Thea then went to the kitchen hurriedly. Amos said nothing more at that sight.
The next second, Harley threw a pillow over.
"What? You've finally figured it out and decided to look for me? I don't care, I don't know, and I don't understand either!"
Amos caught the pillow and retorted, "Who said that I came to you to talk about this? I came to you for a drink!"
"No! My honey is expecting!"
Amos was speechless.
"Let's have tea then. Didn't you say that you like the tea from my house? I'll have someone bring it to you."
"We don't accept bribes!" Harley refused immediately.
Amos nodded. He saw Thea coming out of the kitchen out of the corner of his eye. He lowered his eyes and said slowly. "Since you don't want to, then just forget about it. I won't blame you. After all, we've been friends for 20 years!"
Harley was left speechless. Was Amos possessed? He had never spoken like this to anyone other than Eudora.
He immediately felt a little proud. "Don't you dare think that I'll help you just because you played the friendship card. No way!" The next second, Thea came over with tea and looked at Harley fiercely.
"Harley, how could you say those words?"
Harley went silent again.
He threw a resentful glance at Amos. "Fine, you win!"
Immediately, he smiled and said, "Thea, we were just messing around."
Thea eyed him suspiciously. Harley walked over hurriedly and patted Amos on the shoulder. "We were just kidding, weren't we?"
Amos nodded his head obediently and replied, "Yeah!"
Thea breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Then carry on. I'll go into my room!"
After two steps, Thea turned back and smiled at Harley.
"Hubby, please be good!"
Harley nodded and answered, "Okay. Rest well!"
Amos observed their interaction and recalled the times he had with Eudora. Just like them, even though they stayed together and did nothing, it was still the best thing ever.
In the blink of an eye, everything changed.
"Well, you should have guessed it by now, right? Since you have guessed it, why are you still here to see me? I have told you everything I know. The rest I'm professionally sworn to secrecy. I won't tell you even if you ask me."
Amos shook his head, "I don't want to ask you anything, and I won't force you to violate any professional ethics. I'm here to help you!"
Harley was stunned. "You're swamped with work. Forget it!"
"No, I'm the one who knows Fabian the best," Amos said, "Have you forgotten? Recently, Valiant East and the Nolan family were bidding for a project. I roughly know about the Nolan family's situation. Don't you think that we should join forces?"
Harley smiled. "What is your purpose? Don't tell me that you suddenly want to do some good for our country!"
Amos smirked. "On one hand, I'm here to serve our country. On the other hand, I hope that you could agree to my request!"
"Say it!" Harley said.
"If anything bad were to happen to the Nolan family, I hope that the police could give the Holt family a chance!"
Harley shot a disdainful look at Amos. "I knew that you would do anything for Eudora."
"Just tell me if you would do it!" Amos said.
"I'll do it!" Harley nodded.
Before he left, Amos thought of something and asked.
"When is Thea due?"
Harley looked at Amos in shock. "Wow! Look at you being all decent. It won't be long. It's in the middle of this month!"
"You should pay more attention to her then! Have you found a doctor? Doctor Leon could arrange someone for you. If you need, I will ask Clint to help you to contact him."
Harley raised his eyebrows. "Who is the person that Doctor Leon could arrange? Could it be that you don't even know Doctor Leon's daughter's name?"
Amos thought about it carefully, "I think her name was Hilda?"
Harley went speechless.
"Enough! Her name is Helen! She's been treating you so well, and everyone could tell that she's interested in you, but you couldn't even remember her name." Harley silently mourned for Helen!
