My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 37

Neither of them spoke on the way home.

After they got back, Amos Granger went straight upstairs. When Eudora George passed by his study,

she heard Amos talking about Everpeace.

She panicked and pushed the door open.

"Mr. Granger, I won't resign," she cried.

Amos was startled. He turned back to the phone and said, "Go and do it!" Then he hung up.

Just as he was about to ask her why, she pounced on him without hesitation and hugged his waist from

behind.

"Mr. Granger, I was wrong. I know that I shouldn't be angry, and I have no right to ask for anything.

However, this job is my only hope, and you can't let me leave Everpeace."

Amos frowned. "Do you really want to stay in Everpeace?"

"Yes!" Eudora nodded. "I will be separated from you one day. I can't put myself in another precarious

situation like when I was with the Meyer family. Because when you leave, I will have nothing left."

Amos was silent. He didn't realise that Eudora would think so much. She was the one who set the

duration of the deal, but he didn't say anything, did he?

When he failed to answer, Eudora added, "Also, Everpeace was left behind by my mother. I promised

my mother that when I grew up, I would look after Everpeace."

Amos frowned. He could not understand that kind of feeling. He lost his mother when he was just a

child. His life had always been a roller coaster ride.

However, if her last visit to her mother's grave was any indication, Eudora cared deeply about her

mother.

"I see. I was just asking Clint to ask for a sick leave for you," Amos told her.

Eudora was at a lost. So he wasn't about to ask her to resign. She had said too much.

Realizing that she was still holding Amos tightly, Eudora quickly let go of him.

However, before she could pull away, Amos pulled her into his arms.

"Are you still angry now?" Amos asked.

Eudora shook her head and leaned on him docilely.

Her delicate body made Amos' heart flutter. He took her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Didn't the

doctor say that your arm shouldn't touch water for the time being?"

"Yes!" Eudora nodded.

"Let's go. I'll help you take a bath," Amos said.

Eudora refused. "I can do it myself."

Amos insisted and Eudora finally gave in. This was their first time bathing together. Eudora was shy.

Seeing her cover herself up, Amos couldn't help but laugh out loud. "What part of you have I not seen

before?"

Eudora finally consented after thinking about it.

Amos carried her into the bathtub. Soon, he took off his clothes and got into the bathtub as well.

She leaned against him. Eudora felt nervous, especially when Amos' hand touched her. She closed her

eyes nervously.

However, nothing else happened. Amos really did help her take a bath.

Only then did Eudora let out a sigh of relief and relaxed.

It had been a long day. Eudora was very tired. She grew comfortable and fell asleep.

Amos couldn't help wondering if his charm had begun to decline.

But seeing that she was so tired that her eyebrows were knitted together, Amos sighed and carried her

back to the room.

Eudora heard the sound of the hairdryer whirring. The warm airflow traveled from her hair and warmed

her cold heart.

The next day, at Valiant East Group.

Harley Louis stared at Amos Granger in shock. "You want to buy Everpeace?"

Amos remained stoic. "Yes!" No one could tell his emotions.

Harley frowned and asked him tentatively. "Could it be because of Eudora George?"

Amos chuckled. "What if I said that it's not?"

Harley stood up and rolled his eyes. "Do you think I would believe you?".

He sat back down. "You're crazy!"

Amos didn't take it seriously. "I'm telling the truth. This decision would be beneficial to us. Everpeace's

business is the same as ours. Especially before they closed down, their development and growth has

always been one of the best in the industry. If we buy it and make good use of it, what's wrong with

that?"

"You're still crazy!" Harley said. "You're right, but we can't buy it right now. Your Second Uncle has been

watching you. If I'm not mistaken, your cousin has always wanted to enter Valiant East. If you buy

Everpeace now, no matter how it turns out, it will be a weakness of yours that they can exploit! Will

your grandfather be happy?"

"Am I afraid of them?" Amos' face was full of disdain. "Didn't they want to fight with me? I want to face

them head-on."

Harley said with a scared expression, "Love is scary!"

Amos glared at him. "Get out of here if you have nothing better to say!"

Harley gave him a helpless look, then turned around and left.

Clint Zuckerberg closed the door and said, "Mr. Louis is right. It's too risky for you. Christopher Gellert,

who just bought Everpeace, wanted to improve the status of his family with it. Why would he give up?"

"Christopher Gellert!" Amos laughed. "He will give up."

Seeing that Amos had made up his mind, Clint nodded and said, "Then I'll ask them to come up with a

plan immediately."

"Contact the car dealer first. I want to buy a car," Amos said.

When Eudora woke up, it was almost noon.

She hurriedly got up and remembered what Amos said last night. He asked Clint to apply for a leave on

her behalf.

When she relaxed, she found that she was wearing pajamas, and everything in the room was very

quiet. Thinking of what happened last night, Eudora was a little confused. Did Amos help her into her

pyjamas?

Someone knocked on the door. She got up and walked over to see a middle-aged woman standing

respectfully at the door. "Miss George, are you awake? The food is ready."

Eudora frowned. "Who are you?"

"Mr. Granger hired me. I'm Valerie Bertinelli. You can call me Aunt Valerie. Mr. Granger said that you

should leave the chores to me in the future..."

For a moment, Eudora was startled. After a long time, she said, "Got it."

Eudora had mixed feelings, and she didn't understand why she was a little disappointed. She went

back to her room and sat for a while. Then, she took out her case to have a look.

While she was reading the case, her cell phone rang. It was Amos. "Are you awake?" RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Yes!" Eudora said.

"Then I'll go back and pick you up," Amos replied.

"What are you doing?" Eudora asked.

"You'll know later!" Amos hung up.

Eudora got up and changed her clothes. She was ready when Amos came back. When she got in the

car, Amos asked, "Is the servant's cooking okay?"

Eudora licked her lips, and she really wanted to say, "I can do it myself."

In the end she said, "It's good."

"As long as you like it!" Amos said. "In the future, you can get off work late and not have to rush back to

cook."

"Alright!" Eudora nodded.

While they were talking, Amos' car stopped. He opened her car door and helped her out of the car.

"It's a car dealer!" Eudora was shocked. "You want to buy a car?"

Amos shook his head. "You are buying a car!"
