My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 42

Eudora George was rooted to the spot for a while, she did not know whether to cry or laugh. She could

leave Amos Granger, but she was not happy about it.

After her mother passed away, no one treated her as well as Amos.

At first, she had tried her best to suppress her feelings and convince herself that everything was a just

deal. However, didn't she still treat him sincerely in this deal?

Amos drove for a long time until he could no longer see the little figure in the rearview mirror.

He thought that if he could not see her, his restless heart would be relieved. However, he now became

more agitated.

He cursed and turned back towards the Granger Mansion.

The little woman was not there. Amos’s heart sank. "Did Harry do it again?"

However, on second thought, it should not be possible. They were at the Granger Mansion, Harry

couldn't be so stupid.

He knew how stubborn the little woman was. The more she was forbidden to do something, the more

persistent she becomes.

Thinking of this, Amos headed back home. Sure enough, ten minutes later, her stubborn little figure

shuffled into view. She did not wear shoes, but walked on the road slowly with bare feet.

He didn't know what to do with her.

Amos stopped the car in front of her. He gritted his teeth and said, "Get in the car."

Eudora stopped walking. When she saw Amos, a smile appeared on her face.

"Amos! I knew you wouldn't leave me alone," Eudora cried.

"Why didn't you put on your shoes?" Amos asked curiously.

Eudora frowned. "The high heels hurt my feet!" she replied.

Sure enough, there was a blister on her heel. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Amos stopped talking and concentrated on driving. However, he was still noticeably grumpy.

After a moment of silence, Eudora said, "Amos, let's make the best of our remaining time together,

shall we?"

Amos was startled. "Stupid woman, don't you want to leave unscathed?"

Eudora felt bitter in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face. "I want to..But... It's just that you're too

kind to me. I have to repay you."

Both of them were silent.

After a long time, Amos said in a low voice, "I don't want you to repay me."

They arrived home, Valerie Bertinelli had already left. She only worked here during the day, she didn't

live there with them.

Eudora took out a first aid kit and was about to apply the medicine on Amos. Unexpectedly, Amos

pressed her on the sofa.

Eudora's face turned crimson. "Your back is still injured!" she protested.

Amos ignored her, held her moving feet, and picked up the things in the first aid kit. Only then did

Eudora understand that Amos was going to apply medicine on her heel.

He lowered his head. She had a front row view of the side of his face as he focused. His jawlines were

so defined and charming.

Eudora's heart beat like a jackhammer. She hurriedly looked away, only for her gaze to fall on the blood

stains on his back.

He hadn't even complained about the pain.

"Does it hurt?" Eudora suddenly asked. Then, the little woman sat up and slowly unbuttoned his shirt

from behind.

She gasped.

The criss- cross wounds had already opened. Although the bleeding had stopped, it still looked morbid.

Amos frowned. As soon as he thought of it, a small cold hand had already touched his back.

Following the wounds, her fingers slowly moved forward. Her fingers traced his back. He felt itchy and

stiff. "Does it hurt?" Eudora asked in distress.

Amos frowned. He grew up in Europe alone. He spent most of his time dealing with dangerous

situations. This was the first time someone had asked him such a question.

In a split second, his heart clenched.

He turned around and kissed the little woman's lips in an overpowering and passionate way.

Eudora was stunned for a moment, and then she put her hands around his neck.

This was different from when she was drunk. She was sober enough to know what she was doing.

Her mind was clear, and he wanted it.

The long night became a wonderful dream.

The next morning, Eudora woke up before Amos. She stretched out her head and checked his back.

The wound she had treated had already begun to heal.

Just as she was about to get up, he grabbed her hand.

"Are you running away after a one night stand?" Amos said cheekily.

Eudora was confused. "Ah?"

It was this confused but innocent expression that made it unbearable for him to lose her.

He pulled her back into his arms and gave her a French kiss. When Amos let go of her, she turned

around and ran away.

As Amos watched her retreating back, his gaze became keen.

For the first time, he began to wonder if it was right or wrong to keep her here at this time.

Valerie had already prepared breakfast, so they had a rare breakfast together at home. Then they went

to work separately.

For the past few days, Eudora had seen a lot of cases. She finally decided on a European style.

The main reason was that a lot of designs were inclined to a Bohemian or industrial style. European

style had been forgotten! This idea might be refreshing

She put her ideas into action. As Eudora was busy working, Christopher Gellert came and stood behind

her for some time.

"European style?" Christopher asked.

Eudora was amazed. She smiled and said, "You can see that?!" She was just matching the colours!

"The colors gave it away. The concept is pretty good," Christopher said with a smile. "You'll have to

hand in the design tomorrow. You must finish it today."

"Okay!" Eudora nodded.

It took her the whole morning to finish the draft, but she was still satisfied.

While they were having lunch, a colleague came over.

"Can I sit with you?" she asked.

Eudora was startled. She recognized the woman as Jacqueline Zac, a senior designer from the design

department.

Eudora had seen some of her designs before and loved them. She had always admire Jacqueline

since then.

Jacqueline took the initiative to say hello. Of course, Eudora was delighted.

"Of course." Jacqueline could be considered to be her first friend at the company.

Jacqueline was quite talkative. By the end of the meal, they had gotten to know each other pretty well.

Jacqueline smiled and said, "It seems that you are really hardworking. If you don't understand anything,

feel free to ask me."

Eudora nodded and watched her leave. She probably hadn't been socialising with anyone for a long

time. Jacqueline was too enthusiastic.

In the afternoon, a brief office meeting was held. After work, Eudora quickly put away her computer and

went home.

There were many other aspects in her design draft that needed to be refined. She had to complete it

tonight.

But when she got home, she turned on the computer and couldn't find her design draft.
