My Second Husband novel Chapter 24

When Eudora George woke up the next morning, the person who was lying beside her was nowhere to be seen.

The bathroom door opened and Amos Granger strode out.

A bath towel was wrapped around his waist, revealing his upper body.

Eudora scrutinised the man's figure. Broad shoulders, toned waist with eight packs to boot. Eudora blushed. Even though they had been in close proximity before, but this was the first time Eudora saw his well-built body in broad daylight.

Eudora couldn't take her eyes off him.

"Like what you see?" Amos smirked at Eudora's reaction.

Only then Eudora realised that she had been staring at the man's body and she immediately turned her head away in embarrassment. "I... What do you want to eat in the morning? I'll make breakfast for you."

"There's no need to trouble you, Clint will arrange it."

"Oh!" Eudora paused for a moment. "Then I'll see you off!"

Eudora sat up from the bed but the blanket covering her body slipped down, revealing her shoulders. She just remembered that she wasn't wearing any clothes. She quickly pulled the blanket up and wrapped it around her body. Her face was flushed red.

Amos smiled cheekily. "Weren't you going to see me off?"

"I..." Eudora covered herself tighter. "Maybe you could go downstairs first. I'll quickly put on my clothes."

It was a rare sight for him to see her all shy and adorable. Amos couldn't help but tease her. "Which part of your body have I not seen yet huh?"

"No..." Eudora cried out in embarrassment. She covered her face with the blanket, revealing only her flickering eyes.

"Okay! I don't want to tease you anymore. I still have errands to run in the company. I'm leaving first." Amos pushed the door open and left the room.

Eudora could hear the sound of engine revving outside.

She stood by the window, still wrapped in the blanket. When she saw Amos' car had driven away into the distance, she let out a sigh of relief.

Amos was a beast last night. Eudora's legs were still weak from all the action. After freshening up, Eudora decided to get herself some after-morning pills just in case.

She popped a pill into her mouth and stuffed the rest into her bag. The deal was supposed to last for just one year. It wouldn't be good if accidents happen in between.

When she was just about to drive back to the house, her phone rang. Eudora took her phone and saw that it was a call from her mother- in- law. It was most likely to be about her son. Eudora knew that she couldn't avoid it forever anyway, so she picked up the phone.

Before she could even utter a hello, she heard screams and shouts from the other side of the line.

"Eudora, you evil and heartless woman. What did the Meyer family ever do to you? You viciously sent my son into jail! Go to hell!"

Eudora sneered. "If you're calling me to curse at me, then forget about it!"

She had thought that Laura Westin had called her to apologize. But instead she got berated and cursed by her. Eudora shook her head at her own naivety.

After hanging up the phone, Eudora took a few deep breaths and cooled down.

When she got home, Eudora found out that there were more than a dozen missed calls on her phone. All of them were from Laura. What a mad lady!

Eudora registered Laura's number into her blacklist.

She put her phone away and felt emotionally drained. Even though Amos said that he would deal with it for her, at the end of the day it was her problem and it had been bugging her the whole time.

Eudora picked up the broom and started cleaning the living room. At least doing something productive would keep her mind off things.

Her phone started ringing again. It was an unknown number this time. Eudora was worried that Amos was looking for her, so she picked it up. Eudora could hear a familiar voice from the other end. It was her stepmother, Felicia
