When Eudora walked into the study room, Amos was frowning and he looked a little frustrated.
"What's wrong?" Eudora walked in with a cup of tea in her hand.
Amos immediately straightened his back and sat down, saying, "Nothing's up! How are you feeling today?"
"I'm fine!" Eudora shook her head and sat down beside Amos.
"What's wrong with you? Why didn't you discuss with me about such a big decision? Sugar Bun is indeed still young. There's no hurry for him to get engaged!"
At the mention of Eddison, Amos frowned again.
"I've already made up my mind on this matter. Don't try to persuade me!"
"Is it because of me?" Eudora asked. "If it is because of me, then there's no need for that at all. I'm really fine."
"No!" Amos shook his head. He explained, "This is for the company's sake. I've selected the daughter of the Gellert family for him! I've seen that girl once. She's a good girl, and she's also Sugar Bun's schoolmate. I've also checked her background. If everything goes smoothly, we can hold the wedding this month. The two of them can move out together after that!"
Stunned, Eudora said, "They're only eighteen years old. How are they going to get married?"
"Eighteen is the legal age to get married abroad. I've already made arrangements for them to get their marriage license abroad."
Eudora was completely taken aback. "Amos, what's wrong with you?" she asked, still confused as to why Amos was acting so.
It seemed that in just one night, Amos had completely become someone whom she did not recognize.
"In the past, you said that it's important to respect Naomi and Eddison. You also said that you would not give them pressure in the future. Why are you suddenly behaving like a stranger?"
Amos's heart skipped a beat. Stranger?
He looked at Eudora's somewhat puzzled eyes and felt devastated. However, how could he tell her that he just wanted her to enjoy her life with him while she was still healthy?
If he were to tell her that, she would definitely not agree!
It was fine with him if she called him selfish.
In any case, he wanted Sugar Bun to be the head of Valiant East. That was because he wanted to spend the rest of his time accompanying Eudora to travel to every corner of the world.
He had no idea if he would meet her again in his next life.
However, in his current life, he wanted to be with her happily.
"I'm tired!" Amos pursed his lips and said, "According to the Granger family's tradition, Eddison should have taken charge of the Granger household and Valiant East at this age. Furthermore, I can help him now. I hope you can let me guide the children this time!"
"You can guide them, but can't you not let them get married first?"
Eudora's heart ached for her children as she continued, "He's still young now. What if one day, he meets someone he really likes and hates us for this decision?"
Amos's heart tightened. He replied, "If so, then let him hate me for it!"
"Amos!" Eudora still wanted to say something, but Amos had already turned his back to her.
"My conference call has started. You can go rest now! I'll be with you later!"
Eudora paused and shouted, a little anger seeping into her tone, "Amos, you're sleeping on the couch today!"
After that, she turned around and went out.
When the room was quiet, Amos heard a suppressed laughter from the other end of the phone.
"We're sorry, President Granger. We did not mean to eavesdrop on purpose!"
Amos closed his eyes and said, "Forget about that moment immediately! Let's start the meeting!"
Eudora had told him to sleep on the couch out of petty anger. After she washed up, she did not actually fall asleep.
She waited for the sound of footsteps outside.
It was not until the middle of the night that Amos walked in slowly.
Eudora laid down in a hurry, closed her eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
Amos walked straight to the bed. He looked at Eudora's back and said in a low voice.
He looked at Eudora's back and said in a low voice, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Eudora was speechless.
She turned around and looked at him angrily.
"Why do you ask me that when you already know the answer?"
Amos sighed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come back so late and made you wait for me for so long!"
"What do you mean by waiting for you? Don't you know why I'm angry?"
