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!"
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.
