Chapter 217: Chapter 217 A Date

“Amos, you…”

However, the man immediately wrapped his arms around her and urged, “Go to sleep.”

He might have asked her to sleep but he, on the other hand, kept looking at her face as if he could not get enough of it.

Eudora felt a chill run down her spine as he stared at her. She quickly reached out to cover his eyes.

“Stop looking at me!

“Who am I going to look at if not you?”

“You should go and admire those beautiful women! There are so many of them out there!”

“But they are not as good-looking as you are.”

Eudora was speechless.

However, he eventually stopped staring at her. Eudora lay on the bed and fell asleep after a while.

…

Eudora was hospitalized for over a month because of her fractured bone. On the other hand, Amos was discharged after two weeks. However, apart from having to go to work every day, he treated Eudora’s ward as his home.

This had caused a little trouble for Eudora. Whenever she stepped out of her ward, some random strangers would approach her.

“Miss George, your husband is so nice!”

Even though she had denied repeatedly and said that Amos was not her husband, no one believed her.

Finally, Eudora could not take it anymore after a month and she insisted on getting discharged.

She consulted the doctor, who in turn, told her that she was recuperating well. The doctor also mentioned that she would be fine as long as she stayed away from lifting heavy goods and continued to rest at home.

Amos was relieved to hear that. He immediately arranged for her to leave the hospital.

They finished the paperwork in the next morning.

Amos arranged for a driver to send Eudora back to Clearwater Bay. Eudora, who had been holed up in the hospital ward for the past month, was extremely excited. It was as if she was a bird that just got out of its cage.

She kept staring out of the window.

She could even tell which house was renovated or decorated.

Amos did not know what to do with her so he told Juju, “Keep an eye on your Mommy. Don’t let her fall.”

Juju sighed and her expression said it all: “Mommy, you’re so naughty.”

Eudora was speechless.

This pair of father and daughter!

…

Auntie Valerie had already prepared a table full of delicious food when they got home.

She seemed happier than Eudora when she realized that Amos and Eudora had made up.

Suddenly, the house phone rang when they were eating. Auntie Valerie rushed over to pick up the call.

Meanwhile, Amos had already put a slice of roast lamb onto Eudora’s plate and said, “Your favorite!”

At this moment, Auntie Valerie had returned to the table, but her face was a little pale.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s…” Auntie Valerie paused and looked at Eudora, who was chewing on the slice of roast lamb. Her cheeks were moving in a rhythmic motion and she looked extremely adorable.

Amos could not help but reach out to wipe the stain off the corner of her mouth. “Go on.”

“It’s a phone call from the prison. They mentioned that Miss Liam is looking for you.”

Wendy?

Amos frowned and said, “Tell her that we’ve ended our ties and I don’t want to see her anymore!”

He placed another slice of roast lamb on Eudora’s plate, “You should eat more.”

Eudora did not speak. She would not want to see Wendy either if he was Amos!

Auntie Valerie nodded and went to deliver Amos’ message.

Amos was about to head to work after the meal when Eudora grabbed her bag and caught up to him.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks and Eudora crashed into his back.

“Ouch..” She hurriedly covered her nose and said, “Why did you suddenly stop?”

“Why are you following me?”

“I’m going to work!” She had been absent from work for a month and she wanted to know how that project was coming along.

“You’re not going!” Amos’ face changed instantly and he continued, “Didn’t you hear what the doctor said? You need to rest!”

Before Eudora could retort, Amos had already picked her up.

Juju covered her eyes hurriedly with her hands while Auntie Valerie watched them with a smile on her face.

Eudora was at a loss of words.

“Put me down. I can walk on my own.”

“If I put you down, you’ll run out of the house!” Amos said. He carried her to the room upstairs and lay her on the bed. “Sleep for a while and I’ll be back soon.”

“But I’ve been sleeping for the past month. I object!”

“Objection overruled!”

He turned to leave after that.

However, he could not help but turn to look at Eudora when he heard her sigh behind him. “I’ll come back early tonight and take you out on a dinner with Juju.”

“What are we having?”

“You can have whatever you want!”

“I’ll hold you to that!” Eudora said excitedly and her eyes lit up with joy. She had refrained from having all kinds of food because of her injuries. She was especially craving for hot buffalo wings at that moment.

“I want to eat buffalo wings!”

“Okay!” Amos nodded and closed the door.

Then, Eudora heard Amos’ voice from outside the door, “Auntie Valerie, you must accompany her.”

“Alright, sir.”

…

Amos immediately went to the office after he left the house.

He recalled the project that Eudora had mentioned. Hence, he asked Anya Astor to report to him on the progress.

Anya was very considerate. She knew that Eudora would be anxious, so she made a detailed progress report.

“Sir, you just need to pass this to Eudora!”

Amos nodded with satisfaction and said, “You’ve done a good job with this project. You’ll be in charge of it after this.”

Anya was very surprised and she said, “President Granger, are you serious?”

“Do I look like I’m lying?”

“No, I’m just over the moon!” Anya said swiftly. In fact, she was just a newcomer in the design industry. If it weren’t for Eudora’s help, she would not be able to learn so quickly.

Now, she was suddenly promoted to be the project’s primary designer.

This was indeed a great surprise for Anya.

“She hasn’t recovered yet, so it’s inconvenient for her to work for the time being. So, I’ll have to trouble you to deal with the rest. I believe that you’re more than capable to do it!”

Anya couldn’t help but smile. She?

It seemed like the two of them were finally making up, eh?

“Alright! I’ll definitely complete this project!”

After Anya left, Amos began to look through the documents. He had just through two of them when his cell phone rang.

It was a special ringtone, indicating that it was a text message from Eudora.

He immediately picked up his phone to read the message. It was a screenshot of a place.

“This restaurant looks good. I’ll make a reservation now!”

Amos took a look at the screenshot but he had never heard of the name. Then again, he was not very particular with food. He would usually go to some relatively convenient places for social activities. He was, however, not particularly fond of buffalo wings.

“Alright!” Amos replied with a text.

“Okay!” Eudora did not reply after sending the message.

Amos kept looking at the last word and he could tell that she was in a good mood. Her words were full of joy and he chuckled.

A while later, Eudora replied again.

“I’ve made a reservation!” She typed and sent the location of the restaurant to Amos.

“Okay! But you should avoid spicy food! It’s not good for your wound.”

The other side was silent for a moment before she typed, “Not spicy!”

Amos was skeptical, so he made a call to the restaurant.

The waiter told him that Eudora had ordered the spiciest buffalo wings.

Amos was speechless. This little liar. He requested the waiter to change the spice level before hanging up. He then quickened his pace to complete his work.

Amos got off work punctually at 5. 30 p. m.

When he left his office to head downstairs, the whole company erupted.

“What on earth happened? Why is President Granger getting off work so early today?”

“Yeah, I asked Clint about it. He said that President Granger is going on a date today.”
