My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 87

Eudora George, who was a kind girl, seemed to have become a different person the moment she heard the word 'competition1.

Who would've known she actually won the competition. Christopher said unwillingly, "Eudora, were you pretending to be bad at games all along? You look so soft and weak, and I didn't know you could play so well!"

"Did you just call me weak?" Eudora looked at him innocently and asked him back. "Well let me tell you, I'm a fierce competitor. It'd be better for you to stop competing with me. I'll always try my best to win." Eudora used to compete with Kesha George all the time when they were younger.

"Well, I guess I have to call you a 'contender'!"

"Thank you. Please don't forget to buy breakfast for us this whole week!"

"Sure!" Christopher said with a smile.

After playing at the arcade, Christopher treated Eudora to some spicy kebabs.

She did as Christopher said, numbing herself away with the spiciness, and out away from those unhappy things.

Eudora ate a lot of spicy kebabs. However, she still couldn't forget about those unhappy memories.

It was already late at night when she reached home. The lights in the room were switched off. Auntie Valerie must've gone back by now.

Eudora stood in front of the pitch black entrance at the door, and didn't feel like entering the room at all.

As she was spacing out, a dark figure grabbed her arm and pulled her back, turning her around as he pressed her against the cupboard. Eudora's heart skipped a beat. She breathed a sigh of relief when the familiar masculine scent wafted into her nose.

"Amos, you're hurting me." Eudora said.

Amos Granger didn't say anything. It was obvious that he was consumed by anger.

"Why did you come back so late?" Amos questioned.

Eudora frowned and said, "I had some business to do."

"Business? Was hanging out with Christopher Gellert business to you?" Amos interrogated her as he grasped her wrists tight.

"Why did you let him hold your hand?"

Hold her hand?

Eudora didn't replace it too big of a deal at that moment. She was only bothered over the relationship between Wendy and Amos. Besides, what right did he have to question her in this way? Anger welled up within Eudora's chest. Then, she said in a hoarse voice,

"Do you think you're qualified to question me like this? What were you doing then? You were enjoying a gathering with other women. You even asked the staff from the design department of your company to help her. What an honour for her!"

Eudora finally blurted everything out. However, she felt more uncomfortable now that she had said so.

Amos frowned and said, "I told you before I just wanted to help her recover from her illness within six months!"

"Yes! It's all my fault!" Eudora shouted. She suddenly felt that she was very stupid. Why would she dwell over such a thing? "I'm sorry, I'm too tired. I don't know what's gotten into me. I might not be able to tolerate this for half a year."

Amos hugged her as soon as she finished speaking.

Both of them remained silent in that position for a long time, quietly.

In the end, they never mentioned about the issue anymore.

Eudora was almost done with her design blueprint.

She incorporated the design elements of a Chinese rural style, along with those from the American rural style. The final result turned out to be quite interesting!

Christopher was not confident about it in the beginning, citing that the styles would not match well together.

However, he changed his mind after looking at the preliminary draft.

"This is really good. Perhaps you can could even win the championship!" Eudora smiled. "I know you're just trying to make me feel better, but I'm still very happy. Thank you."

"I'm not trying to make you feel better. You're truly an excellent designer!"

Eudora said helplessly, "I'm not stupid. I can tell that you're trying to make me happy."

"Who says you're not stupid? You're the most stupid fool in the world. Did you think I wouldn't know what happened with you and that woman if you didn't tell me? I've already found it out myself!" Eudora was dumbstruck and said, "That's none of your business."

"It's indeed none of my business. But, I don't regret interfering. Eudora, how could you even tolerate such a thing? Do you really believe that the woman was his lifesaver just because Amos told you so? Well, it I must say, there's definitely something going on between the two!"

Eudora pursed her lips and said, "We've made a deal. I'll give him six months."

Christopher was flabbergasted, he said, "You're indeed a fool! They might even have a baby in six months!"

"No!" Eudora shook her head and said. She knew clearly that Amos was different from other men. He would not sleep around with others!

"Are you so sure?" Christopher asked. He felt that Eudora was overconfident.

"I am very sure!" Eudora nodded her head and said. "I'm going to the construction site now. Let's talk about it another day!" Christopher felt helpless. Eudora would always go to the construction site whenever they talked about Amos.

The progress of the construction site was quite good. Eudora stayed there for a while. She passed by Valiant East when she was on the way back, and suddenly felt like popping in for a look there.

She had never been to Amos' company. She thought to herself that Wendy must've already been there before.

After thinking for a while, she took out her mobile phone to debate on whether she should give Amos a call before visiting his company.

In the end, she still didn't make the call. She went to a milkshake shop nearby to buy some drinks and snacks for Amos. She then went straight into Valiant East.

The receptionist stopped her and asked, "Miss, who are you looking for?"

"I..." Eudora couldn't spit out her words. What was she going to do even if she went upstairs to his office?

Was she here to show everyone that she was Amos' girlfriend? Or was she here to check on him?

Was she qualified to do so?

"I'm looking for Clint Zuckerberg!" Eudora said.

"I'm sorry, Assistant Zuckerberg is very busy..."

"Never mind then. Please pass these to him. He'll know who gave it to him." After saying that, Eudora walked out of the building. After a short while, Clint came back to the company with Amos. The receptionist stopped him and said, "Assistant Zuckerberg, a lady asked me to pass these to you!"

Upon hearing this, Clint raised his eyebrows. Why would someone give him something?

"Did she mention her name?" Clint asked.

"Nope! She said you'll know who she is as soon as you saw these!" The receptionist answered. Clint glanced at it to replace that it was just some milkshake and snacks, without any note in it. He had no idea who gave him these.

However, the food was pretty delicious. He was also quite hungry after going out with Amos.

Amos glanced at the food in his hand and asked, "Are these from your girlfriend?"

Clint was startled and he said, "President Granger, stop joking. I don't have a girlfriend! But, this lady seems like a nice and considerate person. The milkshake and snacks are all of my favorite red bean flavor. Oh! Here's your favorite mint flavor!"

Amos didn't really like mint flavored foods. He only liked the mint flavor snacks made by Eudora.

So, was that woman......

Amos was dumbstruck. He turned back to the front desk to ask the receptionist, "Did that woman say anything else?"

The receptionist looked at Amos in shock. She never talked to President Granger before ever since she was hired. She was so startled that she couldn't manage to spit her words out.
