My Second Husband novel Chapter 53

Amos Granger stared at Christopher Gellert's shoulder for two seconds. Then, he walked over and held Eudora George’s hand.

He frowned instantly when he saw the teeth mark on Eudora’s arm. He asked, "What happened?"

Eudora covered the mark with her hand immediately and said, "Oh, nothing. During the commotion earlier, I accidentally..."

"Let's go. We need to disinfect your wound," Amos said.

"There’s no need..." But before she could finish her words, Amos carried her up.

They were in the corridor so Eudora immediately compromised. "Okay, put me down. I'll go with you!"

Upon hearing this, Amos put her down and took her to the outpatient clinic.

Christopher stared at them and narrowed his eyes. After a long while, he stood up and exclaimed, "Eudora, you can get off work first. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Since Christopher had said so, and there was nothing else to do in the hospital, Eudora followed Amos back after receiving treatment.

It was already late when they returned to the Granger Mansion. The whole family was sitting in the living room. Seeing them coming back, Kaylene Yoder couldn't help but snort, "The whole family is waiting for both of you for dinner! Can’t you at least inform us if you were going to be late? Amos, I can understand that you might forget to inform us because you're so busy. But can’t the person next to you remind you also?"

Amos frowned and said, "Second Aunt, have you mistaken the time? It's not the time for dinner yet, right?"

Kaylene wanted to make things difficult for Eudora. However, she did not expect Amos to defend her. She felt humiliated.

Harry Granger said, "Amos, since when do you care about this petty matter. Please come over. I have something to talk to you about."

Amos was unhappy. He said, "Uncle, I don’t have anything to talk to you."

Harry was angered by his words. However, he could not lose his temper in front of the Old Master.

In the end, Bethany Hamilton tried to make peace. She said, "It’s not easy to have Amos home for a few days. Let’s just stop arguing. I'll ask the servants to serve the dishes for dinner."

Finally, everyone stopped talking. They got up and walked to the dining area.

Amos turned around and saw Eudora smiling at him. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just suddenly feel that you look really manly," Eudora said.

Was that a compliment? Amos thought. Then, he frowned and asked, "Does it mean that I wasn't manly to you before?"

"Of course you were always manly to me, but you are even more so now," Eudora replied.

"You cunning little fox! You like the feeling of me protecting you, huh?" Amos asked.

Eudora's heart skipped a beat when Amos flirted with her.

"Who doesn't like to be protected?" she asked him back.

"Then, remember to perform better tonight!" he said. "You rascal!" Eudora cried.

Eudora went back to the room after dinner. She was still worried about what had happened today. She took out her mobile phone to browse the news. The news had gone viral. Lots of people were scolding the boss for causing the death of the employee.

Everpeace was in big trouble!

Amos pushed the door open and entered the room when Eudora was reading the news. He lay down beside Eudora, playing with her long hair.

Unexpectedly, Eudora ignored him today. Amos took Eudora's mobile phone away and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Eudora quickly grabbed her mobile phone back. She said, "Hey! I haven't finished reading yet."

Amos frowned and asked, "Are you worried that Everpeace will get into big trouble?"

"How can I not be worried? I like this job very much..." Eudora replied. "Well, you can work in Valiant East!" Amos said while smiling. "The design department at Valiant East has a lot of projects that are suitable for you."
