Eudora could sense everyoneâs eyes on her as soon as she came out of the office.
She fell into confusion. âDo all of you have nothing to do? What are you guys doing here?â
Everyone immediately scrambled away. Eudora went downstairs and received Tinaâs call the moment she entered the car.
âEudora, are you really going to get married to Fabian?â
Eudora didnât expect that Tina would already receive the news. âOh, yes! If you are busy, you donât have to come back to attend the wedding!â
It was just a marriage of convenience anyway.
Tina fell silent for a moment. âAre you in trouble? If you need any help, just tell me! Iâll ask Christopher to think of a solution!â
âThereâs no need for that!â Eudora shook her head. âChristopher is busy fighting over his property with his family. I donât want to get him involved. Just take care of yourself, alright?â
âIs the wedding really going to be held ten days later then? Why the rush?â
âItâs not a big deal. Iâm getting married for the second time. Itâs the same whether itâs now or later Itâs okay, donât worry about me!â
Tina fell silent once again. Just as Eudora thought that she was about to hang up, she spoke again.
âWhat about Mr. Granger? Do you really not love him anymore?â
Eudoraâs heart skipped a beat. âWhy did you mention him suddenly? Weâve gotten divorced a long time ago.â
âButâ¦â Tina was at a loss for words. Although the two had already divorced a long time ago, to Tina, they had always been in love with each other.
It was because of unexplainable circumstances that the two just couldnât be together!
She had always thought that Eudora and Amos would eventually end up together like how they did five years ago. Even if they were separated, they would still be back together again in the future!
âEudora, could there have been a misunderstanding about Mr. Granger killing Dad?â
Tina continued, âI could tell that Mr. Granger loves you so much. He wouldnâtâ¦â
However, someone had knocked on the car window before Tina could finish her sentence. Eudora turned to look and saw that Fabian was standing outside her car. He was looking at with a faint smile.
Eudora interrupted Tina. âLetâs stop here for now. Weâll talk when we get back.â
She rolled down the window and asked, âWhy are you here?â
Fabian handed her a bouquet. âThis is for you!â
It was a bouquet of red roses. Eudora accepted it and thanked him, âThank you.â
âYouâre welcome. I donât really understand why, but my father is very persistent. He said that girls like flowers, soâ¦â
Eudora smiled, but Fabian spoke again before she could say anything.
âSince you smiled, that means that you like it, right? Iâll give it to you every day!â
Eudora did not say more, and Fabian added, âSince you were already about to drive away, you wouldnât mind if I take the passenger seat, right? Dad said that he wants you to join us for dinner at home! We could discuss the wedding matters such the wedding dresses, wedding pictures, and so forth.â
âThat fast?â
Eudora blurted out.
Fabian grabbed hold of the seat belt and replied with a smile, âItâs not really fast. Weâre going to get married in twelve days, arenât we? Oh, no. There are still eleven days left after today!â
It seemed that Fabian was extremely thrilled. He was extremely enthusiastic for just a marriage of convenience.
Eudora nodded. âOkay!â
The Nolan residence and her office were separated by a long stretch of freeway. After driving through the freeway, Eudora drove the car skilfully and passed through different types of curved roads. Her driving surprised Fabian.
âThere was always news about female drivers getting into accidents, which makes it look like women are generally bad at driving. I donât think that theyâve seen a driver like you!â
Eudora paused for a moment. âFrankly, I used to be a road killerâ¦â
It was all because of Amos back then. He had taught her step by step until she became a competent driver.
Eudora shook her head and dispelled the sudden thought. Fabian saw through it, but he quickly looked away and did not speak again.
Malcom had already instructed the servants to prepare dinner when they arrived at the Nolan residence.
They were all the dishes that Eudora liked. Malcom smiled and said, âFabian went on a date with you last time, didnât he? However, when he returned, he said that he didnât know what you liked to eat, so he asked your butler instead! Take a look. Do you like them?â
Fabian looked at Malcom awkwardly and said, âOh, Dad, you donât have to spill everything!â
âWhy shouldnât I?â Malcom disagreed. âYou and Eudora are about to get married. I believe that you should be honest about your feelings and thoughts to her! If you donât make it clear, how would Eudora know then?â
Fabian covered his face in defeat. âDad, the dishes you like are here too. Have a try.â
âYou brat!â Malcom snorted. âAre you feeling embarrassed?â
Malcom then stopped Eudora as though he had discovered a new secret. âLook, this brat has taken over the Nolan familyâs business since he was only several years old. He had given many lectures on stage, but I have never seen him so shy. Now he is flustered because we are talking about you!â
Eudora lowered her head and took a sip of fruit juice. She smiled without saying anything.
Malcom suddenly guffawed and said, âEudora is shy too! Fine, Iâll stop talking about you guys then!â
However, Malcom didnât seem to have the intention to stop. He may have stopped teasing Fabian and Eudora, but he decided to bring up young Fabianâs embarrassing moments instead.
âEven though he looks strict and proper, he actually has a really bad alcohol tolerance! He would sing whenever he gets drunk! I remember I brought him to meet some clients once when he was young. He accidentally downed half a glass of white wine and ended up singing and dancing in the room. He was so active. We ended up getting the deal, by the way!â
Malcom laughed his head off, and Fabianâs ears were scarlet red from embarrassment.
âMr. Nolan, if you donât stop, you may end up losing your son!â
Malcom hit the table and said, âD*mn you!â
Eudora immediately changed the topic when he saw the two about to get into a fight. âUncle Nolan, do you like this dish? Why donât you have a taste at it too?â
Malcom was thrilled. âGirls are less worrying indeed!â
After the meal, Malcom ordered the servants to take out some of the wedding booklets for Eudora to look at.
âIâve asked for these to be prepared for you. What do you think? If you donât like them, I will call the designers and get them to come here later. You could tell them face to face then!â
Eudora didnât seem to be interested at all. She had thought about the day that she would get married, but when it actually came, she found that it really was no big deal.
After flipping through the booklets casually, Eudora put them down on the table.
âIâm fine with anything, Uncle Nolan, youâve arranged everything well. Iâm fine with everything.â
Malcom nodded and said, âOkay, letâs ask Fabian to arrange for it immediately then! That brat only knows how to make phone calls as soon as he comes back.â
Malcom then yelled for Fabian.
âYou brat, what are you doing upstairs? Come downstairs now!â
