It turned out that he knew that it was her!
Eudora frowned and said without thinking, "I didn't do it for you. I did it for Juju. Her condition still isn't very stable, and she won't be able to accept it if she lost you!"
Amos was not annoyed when he heard that.
He lowered his head to study her stubborn face. After a long pause, he reached out and stroked her head before saying, "It's my pleasure."
Eudora was speechless.
He then left before she could react.
Amos acted as if he was heading out for work to support his wife and children.
Eudora was deep in her thoughts when Juju fell asleep again in her arms. Juju's head was tilted in an awkward angle, hence Eudora carried her back to their room hurriedly. They both then slept soundly on the bed, with Juju in Eudora's arms.
Meanwhile, Amos told the driver as he headed out.
"Let's head to Miss Liam's apartment before we go to the company."
The driver was slightly taken aback. After all, Amos had never been to Wendy's apartment all these years. However, the driver did as he was told.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the entrance of Wendy's apartment.
Aunt Agnes was extremely happy to see him. She immediately greeted, "Mr. Granger, you're here!"
"Where's Wendy?" Amos asked flatly.
"She's inside!" Aunt Agnes raised her voice gleefully, "Miss Liam, Mr. Granger is here."
Wendy gritted her teeth as she lay on the bed.
She was supposed to be with Amos last night, yet, she ended up being tortured by Caleb. She would surely show that jerk who's boss between them one day.
She was fuming about what happened last night when she heard Aunt Agnes calling out cheerfully. Instantly, Wendy felt a chill down her spine. She got up hurriedly and observed herself in the mirror. She made sure she looked fine before heading out.
"Amos, you're here!" Wendy said sadly, "I thought you didn't want to see me anymore!"
Amos was quiet as he sat on the couch.
"Where were you last night?" Amos questioned her.
Wendy was stunned and stuttered, "I... I didn't go anywhere!"
"Really?" Amos' tone was indifferent but there was a hint of ice in his voice.
Wendy shivered and started sobbing without warning. "Amos, you already know, don't you? I went to the bar to look for you last night and you were so drunk then. I helped you to the room so that you could rest. But, you suddenly lost your mind and ripped my clothes off hysterically. You were going Wendy's face was full of horror as she continued, "I couldn't wake you up, so I ran out. I saw Harley when I wanted to return to check on you. I knew you would be safe with him, so I went home! Amos, I wanted to save you, but I was just a little scared. I won't do it again!"
Amos pursed his thin lips and asked, "Is that true?"
"Of course." Wendy replied and went up to try and hold Amos' hand.
"Are you okay? What happened last night?"
"Don't touch me!" Amos unexpectedly raised his voice at her, "I was just drunk, not dead. Do you really think that I'm oblivious to what you have done? How dare you drug me? Wendy Liam! You're playing with fire!"
It was only then Wendy realized that Amos knew about everything.
