That wasn't the end of it. Amos Granger later took her to their bed once more. In the end, Eudora George fell asleep, worn out from the passionate night.
When she finally calmed down, Amos reached out and softly caressed her face in absolute satisfaction.
"Honey, now let's see if you'll have the energy to take such interest in other men."
When Amos got up the next day, Eudora was already not in the room. This sort of situation was common, especially since Juju had moved out. Whenever he was too rough with Eudora in the bedroom, she would usually flee to Juju's room in the middle of the night.
Therefore, Amos didn't really think too much of her absence.
After he got out of bed and washed up, he ordered some breakfast. He then walked over to Juju's room and pushed the door open.
Juju was already up and she had changed out her pajamas, "Good morning, Daddy!" She greeted with enthusiasm upon seeing Amos at her door.
"Good morning," Amos replied, rubbing the back of his head, "There's breakfast on the table. Have your breakfast when you're ready." When Juju left her room, Amos walked over to the bathroom in her room, "It's light out now. When are you going to stop hiding in there? Come out."
Not a sound came from the bathroom in reply. Amos frowned, proceeding to push the door open.
It was empty.
He spun around the room, searching the cupboards just in case. There really was no one in here.
Outside the door, Juju saw the commotion that Amos was making in her room, "Daddy, Mommy didn't come to my room last night."
Amos felt a bit embarrassed and he paused for a moment, "Alright, thank you. Eat up first, won't you?"
Taking out his mobile phone, he tried to call Eudora. The operator's recorded voice message answered him instead. That meant her phone was turned off.
He then went to call the front desk and had gotten word that no one had left the resort. The security system in this resort was pretty decent, and perhaps he should look into the security footage. If he saw that she was safe, he'll be able to stop worrying.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Harley Louis sounded delirious as he spoke, "Amos, bad news. That annoying Thea hasn't been back to our room since she left last night."
Amos opened the door, "When did you see her last?"
"At Christopher's door. She kicked me and left right after. I thought she would return to our room by herself, but she still hasn't come back yet." At the same time, Christopher's door opened as well. He stood by his opened door, dumbfounded. As though sensing that someone was staring at his back, Harley turned around and met Christopher's eye.
His eyes lit up, "Your woman is missing, too?"
Christopher frowned, "Could it be that yours are missing as well?
Amos suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. With a sudden realization, Harley spoke up, "Ah, I know now. Those three must have made plans to ditch us so they could go out and have fun by themselves!"
Christopher suddenly thought of Tina's cramped foot from last night, "I'll find them and bring them back."
"Where are you going to find them? Their phones are turned off, and there's no trace of them anywhere!"
After that, both of them looked at Amos.
Amos sat across Juju and began to eat his breakfast in leisure, "They just went out to relax. Why are you two getting so anxious?"
"Hold on ! That's not right..." Harley thought out loud.
"Tina left because Christopher slept with her even though he didn't like her, so it's only reasonable that she ran off. As for Thea... Well, we're not well-matched so that's reasonable. But you and Eudora though, you are happy with each other. Why did she leave too? Did you do something to her last night?"
Amos glared at Harley, covering Juju's ears. "Just do whatever you want!"
Harley knew that he had misspoken again. So, he hurried over to Juju and tried to appease her, "Your mother is not here today. How about I take you sight-seeing? How does that sound?" He asked Juju with a smile.
Juju frowned at the suggestion instantly, "No!"
Harley went silent at that.
