Chapter 245 Reminiscence
The man’s familiar scent surrounded her and he said, “You really moved out!”
Eudora was taken aback. At that moment, she just realized that she was not in Amos’ room.
“Why are you still here then? Get out of here, else they will think that I’ve seduced you!”
There was a hidden smile in Amos’ eyes, “You have always seduced me.”
“Nonsense!” Eudora pursed her lips, “You came in here yourself. When did I ever seduce you? I haven’t seen you for the whole evening by the way!”
“You have not seen me for the whole evening because you had been seducing me the whole time in my mind!”
Eudora was speechless. He was being unreasonable.
He then hugged her again and said, “Did anyone make things difficult for you?”
“No!” Eudora shook her head.
“That’s good!” His eyes then fell on the resume that she had submitted online, “Are you looking for work?”
“I’m looking for a job that allows me to work from home so that I could take care of Juju. However, it’s not easy to find a job like that. After all, designers have to be on the site nowadays!”
“It’s no big deal. I’ll just give Everpeace Group back to you and let you handle it. You don’t need to go there every day!”
Eudora glanced at him, “Isn’t that the same as giving me money outrightly? What’s the difference? I don’t want it.”
Amos Granger did not refute but he began to go through his pockets.
Eudora was taken aback. She watched blankly as he placed his wallet in her hands, “You’re right. Instead of doing that, I might as well just give you my wallet. You could just help me take care of it.”
Eudora was at a loss of words.
“I don’t want it. I have my own money. Besides, you need money too!”
After thinking for a while, Amos took out his ID card and some change and passed the remaining items to her. “Keep these for me. This is the household allowance for my wife.”
Eudora laughed, “Where did you learn this from?”
“There is no need to learn these. It comes naturally.”
Eudora did not know how to deal with him, so she took his card, “Then I’ll keep it for you. Let me know when you need it!”
“Okay!” Amos nodded.
After a while, a servant came to inform them, “Young Master, Miss George, it’s time for dinner!”
Juju had just woken up, so Eudora helped her to change her clothes and took her to the hall. They had been eating their meals separately for the past few days and this was the first time for them to eat as a family.
Obviously, the Old Master sat on the main seat with Bethany sitting on his left. Harry sat on his right with Kaylene next to him.
No one sat next to Bethany, so Amos sat there with Eudora next to him.
Old Master Granger did not speak until everyone had settled down.
“I’ve asked all of you to gather here today for an announcement. It’s Hank’s death anniversary tomorrow and I have decided made to make some arrangements at the shrine. Amos, you haven’t been there all these years, so you should come with us and visit your brother.”
Amos was taken aback for a moment but he quickly nodded, “Okay!”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Bethany saw this and gave Eudora a grateful look. However, Eudora did not understand what it meant but she smiled back all the same.
After Kaylene said a few words of comfort, Old Master Granger asked for the dishes to be served.
After the meal, Bethany came over to talk to Eudora while Amos was making a phone call. “Shall we go to the flower hall for a cup of tea?”
Eudora was rather reluctant to go, but Bethany was an elder, so she agreed out of courtesy and followed behind her.
They sat down across each other and Bethany said, “Amos is in a good mood when he’s around you. This is a good thing and I am very happy for you.”
It was only then that Eudora realized that Bethany had thought that she was the reason Amos had agreed to visit Hank Granger.
“Actually, he was the one…”
“I understand. Anyway, you are a good girl,” Bethany said.
While they were talking, Kaylene came in from outside, “Bethany, why didn’t you invite me for tea too?”
Bethany smiled, “Well, you’re here now, aren’t you?”
Kaylene did not just stand there. She sat down next to Eudora and looked at Juju. “Why is this child so timid? That’s not good. Wouldn’t she be a joke to the Granger family? As her mother, you should pay more attention to this.”
Eudora frowned and Bethany immediately said, “What are you talking about? Juju is still young. What would you know? What’s more, girls should be more gentle and quiet. I like how Juju the way she is.”
She smiled at Juju and said, “Come to Grandma.”
Juju yawned, seemingly a little disinterested.
Finally, Eudora found an excuse to stand up, “Juju is tired, so I should head back first.”
“You should come to Hank’s ceremony tomorrow!” Bethany suddenly said.
Eudora was taken aback. “Me? But… won’t that be inappropriate?”
Kaylene also chipped in, “Bethany, you must be confused. She is still an outsider.”
“What outsider?” Bethany said, “Don’t talk nonsense. Since you are already staying in the mansion and you are also Juju’s mother, then you most definitely are not an outsider. I believe that Hank will be very happy to see you! Besides, Juju will also be going too. What if the child suddenly misses you when you’re not there?”
Hearing that, Eudora nodded, “I understand!”
When she left, she saw Amos waiting for her outside. He took Juju from her when he saw her and held Eudora’s hand with his free arm.
“What did you talk about?”
“Nothing much, we just drank some tea. She thanked me for changing you. It seems that you used to be a very cold person!”
Amos frowned, “Really?”
“Yes!” Eudora said firmly, “When we first met, you…”
At this moment, Eudora suddenly noticed that Juju’s big round eyes were staring at her. She suddenly stopped speaking. “Anyway, you were horrible.”
Amos pondered carefully. He then curled his lips meaningfully, “You’re talking about the bathroom…”
“You jerk!” Eudora interrupted him without waiting for him to finish.
Juju let out a cry of surprise, “Mommy, your face is so red!”
Eudora became even more embarrassed after Juju pointed out her blushing face. She immediately turned around and left quickly.
Meanwhile, Amos and Juju were holding a conversation behind her. “What’s wrong with Mommy? Is she sick?”
“No!”
“Then why is Mommy’s face so red?”
“She’s shy!”
Juju frowned, “Why is Mommy shy?”
Amos paused for a while and said, “Because Mommy was caught!”
“Why was Mommy caught?”
Eudora could no longer stand it and she doubled back hurriedly and took Juju away. “Let’s go. Mommy will tuck you in.”
With that, the little woman held her daughter and ran as fast as a rabbit.
Amos put his hands into his trouser pockets and the corner of his lips was curled into a smile.
It took him a while to catch up to them, but then, he realized that he was locked outside.
