She only realized that Auntie Valerie was already gone after she stopped speaking. She was the only one there performing her act.
After letting out an awkward light cough, she heard Amosâ voice coming from behind her.
âOkay. What do you want to change?â
Eudora was speechless.
She was deliberately behaving like a spendthrift. Shouldnât Amos find her annoying and leave her alone?
Eudora made up her mind and said, âIâll change all of the furniture. Iâm going out now to buy some stuff.â
Amos frowned, âItâs very tiring to go shopping. Your body might not be able to take it. Which mall do you want to go to? Shall I ask Clint to search for the website link to those stores instead? You could just buy them online at the comfort of our home.â
Eudora was flustered.
Was there such a way?
Her heart was in turmoil, but she still had to pretend to be unruly and headstrong.
âI donât like online shopping. Most of the goods arenât accurate depictions of what they are advertising online. I much prefer paying a visit and seeing it with my own eyes before buying it.â
âFair enough!â Amos nodded, âIâll go with you then.â
âI donât need your company. Just pay the bill later. Iâll go with Juju.â
Amos was still anxious. Thus, he said, âNo, Iâll be worried if you were to go out alone.â
âIâll have Charlie to come with me then!â
âBring Wesley along too then!â Amos finally compromised.
He immediately went to the garden and gave new instructions to Wesley and Charlie.
âTwo of you will accompany Eudora to the mall later, and remember what Iâm going to say next. Donât allow anyone to get close to her, not more than a meter.â
Charlieâs heart was already filled with guilt after everything that had happened the day before. However, at this moment, Amos was still willing to entrust him with such important tasks. Hence, he had to do his best.
âYes, Mr. Granger! Please rest assured!â
âAlso, put on this micro-spy camera and send the recordings and images to me from time to time.â
Charlie was shocked.
âMr. Granger, isnât this the new high-tech product that was recently developed by TEM Inc?â
At that time, TEM Inc had announced ambitiously that this camera was prepared for the future of the high-tech industry, and it would be used for very advanced aerospace purposes. Charlie felt that it was ironic that Amos was going to use it to track and observe his wifeâs location.
Would the TEM Inc engineers find it insulting if they knew that this camera was being so severely underutilized?
âYes!â Amos answered nonchalantly, âIts recording functionality is still far from perfect. There is still a few seconds of delay.â
Charlie was dumbfounded.
Such efficiency of a high-tech product was already a major technological advancement and it would definitely garner wide media attention if it were to be released to the public. Yet, President Granger was still disapproving of it.
Charlie furrowed his brows and felt a little helpless.
âActually, the Madam has crossed the line a little. Donât youâ¦â
Amos had already given him a cold stare before he could finish his sentence.
âThis matter is between me and her only, and I donât want anybody else to intervene. Just mind your own business. You may go now!â
Only after they had left did Amos let out an awkward laugh as he remained at the same spot.
Did that little lady really think that he couldnât read her mind? She was deliberately trying to irritate him. However, how could he be annoyed with her?
In his heart, she would always be the loveliest and most genuine person in his mind no matter whether she was sweet or irrational.
He had lost her once by accident. It was the most excruciating experience in his life. Therefore, no matter what, he would never allow himself to commit such a grave mistake again.
â¦
âWhich shopping mall would you like to go to, Madam?â Charlie asked when he saw Eudora bringing Juju to the car. She immediately pointed to the most luxurious mall in Rosaville City.
âI want to go there.â
It didnât matter much to him. After all, Mr. Granger treated them well and paid their wages handsomely. Therefore, it didnât matter whether it was luxurious.
While Eudora wasnât paying attention, Charlie quickly put on the advanced micro- spy camera which he had brought along and followed her quietly.
Eudora took Juju to buy some clothes once they reached the mall.
Not only did she buy clothes for Juju, but she also bought some for Amos. Charlie, who was behind her, looked at her in confusion. It seemed that the Madam loved to buy clothes whenever she was in a bad mood.
She had also bought a pile of clothes after that incident back then, all of which still remained untouched in the room. Yet, she was on another shopping spree again now.
Eudora also realized that her current behavior was exceptionally familiar without Charlie even mentioning it.
She couldnât resist the urge to ask, âDo I buy a lot of clothes in the past?â
Charlie nodded, âYes! But at that time, you bought them through online shopping!â
Eudora was amazed.
âThen, letâs buy a little more.â
âA little more?â Charlie felt that âlittle moreâ would eventually topple the wardrobe at home. Fortunately, the villa at Clearwater Bay was relatively spacious.
At this moment, Amosâ faint voice came through the earphones.
âWhat are you thinking about? Are you complaining about the Madam deep down? Youâd better stop!â
Charlie was shocked.
He reached out to touch his earphones frantically, suspecting that it was not only transmitting voice in real-time but also transmitting his own brainwaves. Otherwise, how could President Granger know that he was complaining in his heart?
It was an astonishing piece of gadget.
He composed himself hurriedly. Charlie then followed Eudora as she continued shopping.
Eudora went to the furniture section after buying all the clothes. She picked out all the things that she felt needed to be changed in the morning. Moreover, she didnât give much thought to her selections and deliberately pointed out whatever that was aesthetically unpleasing at random.
After all, she wanted others to hate her behavior.
The two men didnât have much appreciation for aesthetics. Yet, Charlie and Wesley were gobsmacked by those awful-looking cabinets and curtains that Eudora had chosen. How could it be compared with the aristocratic-themed furniture at home?
Even Juju began to complain, âMommy, this looks really ugly.â
Eudoraâs heart skipped a beat with joy, âSweetheart, do you really think that itâs ugly?â
Juju nodded with certainty, âYes!â
Both Charlie and Wesley were about to cry. It turned out that Miss Juju had a better judgment for aesthetics.
However, in the next second, they heard Eudora say, âItâs perfect that it doesnât look good! Thank you, Juju, for helping Mommy. I want all of it. Please send it to this address.â
She was referring to the address in Clearwater Bay.
Juju got tired of walking after shopping for the whole day. Charlie had no choice but to take on the task of carrying her in his arms. Eudora also grew very tired, but she was still very stubborn with the thought of wanting Amos to hate her. Hence, she continued to walk.
It was not until she had swiped all the money in her card that she was finally satisfied. She then gave Amos a call.
âIâm sorry, Hubby. I accidentally used all the money on your credit card! Could you come over and help me pay the rest? I still have a lot of unpaid bills here!â
Amos was already at the gate of the shopping mall before Eudora even started swiping his card. He had been looking at his cell phone and receiving transaction notifications all along.
This lady used to be a very frugal and economical person. However, at that moment, she was really trying hard to infuriate him.
She even exceeded the limit of his credit card!
Amos frowned. He immediately answered the call, âIâll be right there. wait me a second.â
Eudora looked at the pile of mess that she had bought after hanging up the call and felt very depressed and guilty about it. She could foresee that Amos would be distraught with what she had just done.
