My Second Husband novel Chapter 37

Neither of them spoke on the way home.

After they got back, Amos Granger went straight upstairs. When Eudora George passed by his study, she heard Amos talking about Everpeace.

She panicked and pushed the door open.

"Mr. Granger, I won't resign," she cried.

Amos was startled. He turned back to the phone and said, "Go and do it!" Then he hung up.

Just as he was about to ask her why, she pounced on him without hesitation and hugged his waist from behind.

"Mr. Granger, I was wrong. I know that I shouldn't be angry, and I have no right to ask for anything. However, this job is my only hope, and you can't let me leave Everpeace."

Amos frowned. "Do you really want to stay in Everpeace?"

"Yes!" Eudora nodded. "I will be separated from you one day. I can't put myself in another precarious situation like when I was with the Meyer family. Because when you leave, I will have nothing left."

Amos was silent. He didn't realise that Eudora would think so much. She was the one who set the duration of the deal, but he didn't say anything, did he?

When he failed to answer, Eudora added, "Also, Everpeace was left behind by my mother. I promised my mother that when I grew up, I would look after Everpeace."

Amos frowned. He could not understand that kind of feeling. He lost his mother when he was just a child. His life had always been a roller coaster ride.

However, if her last visit to her mother's grave was any indication, Eudora cared deeply about her mother.

"I see. I was just asking Clint to ask for a sick leave for you," Amos told her.

Eudora was at a lost. So he wasn't about to ask her to resign. She had said too much.

Realizing that she was still holding Amos tightly, Eudora quickly let go of him.

However, before she could pull away, Amos pulled her into his arms.

"Are you still angry now?" Amos asked.

Eudora shook her head and leaned on him docilely.

Her delicate body made Amos' heart flutter. He took her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Didn't the doctor say that your arm shouldn't touch water for the time being?"

"Yes!" Eudora nodded.

"Let's go. I'll help you take a bath," Amos said.

Eudora refused. "I can do it myself."

Amos insisted and Eudora finally gave in. This was their first time bathing together. Eudora was shy.

Seeing her cover herself up, Amos couldn't help but laugh out loud. "What part of you have I not seen before?"

Eudora finally consented after thinking about it.

Amos carried her into the bathtub. Soon, he took off his clothes and got into the bathtub as well.

She leaned against him. Eudora felt nervous, especially when Amos' hand touched her. She closed her eyes nervously.

However, nothing else happened. Amos really did help her take a bath.

Only then did Eudora let out a sigh of relief and relaxed.

It had been a long day. Eudora was very tired. She grew comfortable and fell asleep.

Amos couldn't help wondering if his charm had begun to decline.

But seeing that she was so tired that her eyebrows were knitted together, Amos sighed and carried her back to the room.

Eudora heard the sound of the hairdryer whirring. The warm airflow traveled from her hair and warmed her cold heart.

The next day, at Valiant East Group.
