My Second Husband novel Chapter 61

His lips brushed hers, softly and delicately. The excitement in his heart was about to explode.

Eudora's heart skipped a beat. She relaxed her tense muscles and responded to his kiss passionately.

They stopped after a while, both panting. "Don't ever leave me," he whispered.

Eudora was frozen at his words. She didn't know what he meant.

A nurse came into her room to change her bandage while she was about to clarify her doubt.

After the nurse left, he told, "See you later. I'll go out for a while."

Eudora nodded. Her head still hurt. She fell asleep again after closing her eyes.

Clint was waiting for Amos outside Eudora's room.

As soon as they got in the car, Clint updated, "The preliminary result of the police investigation shows that the driver was fatigued while he was driving this morning, which then led to the accident. They are closing the case soon."

Amos narrowed his eyes. His prediction was accurate.

"What about our own investigation?" He asked.

"The truck driver is a thug. He lost quite a big chunk of money to gambling a few days ago," Clint continued, "It looks like he is connected with Thomas Shelby."

"Thomas Shelby?" Amos snorted. "Let's go."

"Where are we going?" Clint asked.

"Let's pay Thomas Shelby a visit!"

In a private room of a night club.

A sexy, hot lady was lying on Thomas' chest while he took a small sip of red wine. His hands were caressing her body while the lady moaned softly when he pinched her butt.

The door was pushed open from the outside. Thomas looked to the door and paused.

He burst out laughing when he saw Amos.

"President Granger, to what do I owe this pleasure?" He asked.

Amos chuckled, "It looks you're expecting me."

"I know that your people have been secretly investigating me. If I didn't even know that, aren't I just waiting to be sent to the lion's den?" Thomas teased.

Thomas was clearly threatening him although it sounded like a joke. He was a fat man and this had always made his smile appear to be friendly and approachable.

Clint frowned. He didn't expect that Thomas would find out about it.

They had been very careful.

Amos remained quiet as he sat directly across from him. "I guess you know why I'm looking into you then," Amos said coldly.

"Of course! One of my men ordered a thug to hit your woman. Don't worry! I've got the evidence. I'll give it to you at any time if you want it," Thomas replied.

"Under what condition?" Amos asked.

Thomas chortled.

"I can see that you're indeed very assertive. Let's not talk about the conditions first," Thomas continued. "We have not collaborated for a long time after you came back from the States. I am not very happy about that. If it weren't for this girl, were you going to continue avoiding me? What happened? Everyone said you're cold and ruthless. Is it true that you've fallen in love with this woman?"

Thomas sounded as if he was an old friend of Amos. But Amos knew that he was trying to probe into his secret.

Amos frowned and replied with a smile, "You should know better than me. A woman will always lose her charm after some time."

"Really?" Thomas' eyes widened. "No one has ever seen you with a woman before. I thought that this woman must be very different. It looks like I'm wrong. If that's the case, shall we have some fun tonight? You can have a go on my girl!"

He signaled the woman in his arms to go to Amos.
