Wendy realized that Amos had injured his arm when she went to his house in the morning.
She hurried forward anxiously, asking, âAmos, what happened?â
Amos shook his head lightly, âItâs nothing.â
That made Wendy frown. âThen let me change the bandage for you!â
âMiss Liam, itâs alright, I can do it!â Suddenly, Auntie Valerie butted in, pushing Wendy aside. With her around, she would never allow Wendy to have any alone time with Amos.
Wendy gritted her teeth in annoyance, but there was nothing she could do.
Since Auntie Valerie had taken care of Eudora before, she was Amosâ most trusted person. Hence, she was not polite to anyone else.
It didnât matter if Wendy had attempted to get in her good books or thrown threats at her, it had no effect on Auntie Valerie at all.
Wendy bit her lip and offered herself once more. âShall I prepare breakfast for Amos then?â
Before she could finish her words, their pet dog, Cola came out of nowhere and started growling at Wendy. Wendy hesitated when she remembered the last time Cola had bitten her.
Seeing that Cola was about to come over again, she hurriedly turned around and said, âI just remembered that I still have something to attend to. Please allow me to excuse myself!â
As she watched Wendy run away, Auntie Valerie couldnât help but silently chuckle to herself.
When Auntie Valerie lowered her head and saw that Amos was looking at her, she instinctively offered an explanation, âMr. Granger, Miss Liam is not a nice woman. Donât be fooled by her. Miss George has been gone for so many years. If you want to get married, you have to find a decent person! Miss Liam is not worthy of you.â
Amos pursed his lips and paused for a long time before he muttered, âSheâs backâ¦â
â¦.
After Wendy left the house, she found that her skirt was torn from running out too quickly. Frustrated, she let out a small shriek, stomping her feet. While she was about to get in the car, a familiar vehicle stopped beside her.
That manâs evil and flamboyant face appeared from the car window.
âBabe, get in!â
The fact that Caleb had found Amosâ house was enough to make Wendy break out in nervous cold sweat. She looked around in a hurry and got into the car quickly after making sure that no one saw her.
The car started moving. Caleb had one hand on the steering wheel while his other hand began to wander around Wendyâs body.
âBabe, didnât you say that you would leave with me after you get the money? Itâs been five years. It seems like youâre falling for Amos more and more now. Donât you know that Iâm jealous?â
Wendy was stunned and turned to look at Caleb.
His tone was soft, but Wendy knew that he was angry.
Wendy hurriedly explained, âItâs not what I wanted, but who would have thought we were so unlucky. Amos suddenly had a car accident and his legs were injured. The marriage was put to a halt. How could I get the money if Iâm not married to him?â
Caleb didnât say anything. Wendy reached out to touch his chest.
âDonât be angry. Thereâs no one else better than you in this world.â
The next second, Calebâs eyes fell on Wendyâs finger. âWhat happened?â
Wendy quickly withdrew her hand and said, âI was bitten by a dog. Amosâ dog still doesnât like me even though Iâve been around for so long.â
There was a hint of malice in Wendyâs eyes. And not to forget Auntie Valerieâ¦
When she was deep in her thoughts, she felt a warm breath on her injured finger. Wendy looked up, and she was stunned to see Caleb had enveloped her finger with his mouth.
âHow does it feel now?â
Her lips curved slightly. âMuch better!â
Caleb nodded with satisfaction and pulled her finger out of his mouth.
âItâs just a m*tt. I can solve it for you.â
Wendy was flustered. âOh, um, no, itâsâ¦.â
The next second, Caleb had already reclined her car seat.
After they were done, Caleb stroked Wendyâs hair and said lazily, âYouâre so silly. Do you know that the woman is back?â
She froze. âWho are you talking about?â
âWho else? Eudora George of course!â
âImpossible!â Wendyâs eyes widened in disbelief. âHow could this be? Didnât she die?â
Caleb snorted, âDo you seriously want to marry Amos that much? Did you forget that it was a fake body?â
Wendy did not forget that incident, but everything had gone smoothly all these years. Thus, she assumed that Eudora was really dead.
However, who would have thought that she would come back?
Wendy panicked. âDo you think that she came back for revenge? Does she know that I was the one who wanted her dead?â
âBabe, why are you so nervous?â Caleb still looked calm. âDonât you trust the way I do things? Moreover, the incident happened in Bookerfield City, and everyone thought it was just an accident.â
Wendy was relieved for a moment, but all of a sudden, she became nervous again. âWhat about Amos? Does he know that Eudora is back?â
Caleb shook his head. âI donât think so. Has he been acting weird lately?â
Wendy frowned, thinking hard. âNoâ¦.â
âThatâs good then! Anyway, you should be focusing more on me, not that man.â After Caleb said that, the desire in him was ignited once again.
He pinned Wendy underneath him, and they had another round of lovemaking.
Wendyâs face was expressionless. After a long while, she finally opened her mouth.
âCaleb, could you please help me out one more time?â
Caleb lowered his head and bit her lips, whispering. âThat depends on your performance!â
â¦
After a whole night of contemplation, Eudora felt that she could no longer take Juju to the construction site.
Therefore, the first thing she did when she got up the next morning was to take Juju to an international school. With Davyâs recommendation, Juju was quickly enrolled into the school.
Juju was reluctant to leave her mother, but Eudora told her that she would pick her up right after work. Juju finally calmed down after her motherâs coaxing.
On the way back, Eudora was also a little reluctant to part with Juju. Deep down, she knew that as children grew older, the parents would eventually be the one reluctant to leave them, and not the other way around.
Thinking of this, Eudora was a little choked up and started to sniffle.
Just as she was deep in thought, someone behind her suddenly exclaimed in surprise, âMiss George!â
Startled, Eudora turned back to meet Auntie Valerieâs happy eyes.
âMiss George, itâs really you!â Auntie Valerie burst into tears. âI thought I would never see you again!â
Auntie Valerie recalled what Amos had said to her in the morning. It turned out that he hadnât been mumbling nonsense. Miss George was indeed back.
âMiss, when are you going home?â Auntie Valerie glanced at her expectantly, grinning from ear to ear.
However, Eudora showed an apologetic yet solemn expression. âAuntie Valerie, Clearwater Bay is no longer my home.â
âNo!â Auntie Valerie shook her head firmly. âClearwater Bay will always be your home. Mr. Granger and I are waiting for you. Oh, and also Cola.â
When Colaâs name was mentioned, Eudoraâs mood brightened up at once. âIs Cola alright? He should be a big boy by now.â
âYeah! Cola has gotten a lot bigger! A couple of days ago, Wendy was even bitten by Cola when she came home.â
âWendy? Arenât they married?â Eudora retorted in confusion.
Auntie Valerie was stunned. âNo, Mr. Granger and Miss Liam are not married. Miss George, you must have been blaming Mr. Granger for choosing Wendy over you, havenât you? But let me assure you, you have always been in Mr. Grangerâs heart!â
