Chapter 120 I’m Not Late
A crowd started to gather as soon as the accident happened.
Seeing this, the man snorted, “My little Wendy, you really are not adorable anymore. I will come back again!”
After that, he turned around and left.
Wendy Liam tried to move her injured leg as she dialed Amos Granger’s number.
……
When Eudora George and Christopher Gellert had finished their coffee, they came out from the cafe and saw that a crowd had gathered at the road.
Both of them were stunned and asked simultaneously, “What happened?”
“Probably a car accident!” Christopher said.
As he spoke, the crowd was already dispersing. Amos walked out of the crowd while carrying Wendy in his arms.
Christopher was surprised and he subconsciously turned to look at Eudora.
He could see that Eudora’s expression was stiff. She then said with a smile on her face, “Let’s go back to the office.”
But before they could leave, Amos was already walking towards them.
“Wendy was hit by a car. I’m taking her to the hospital. I’ll be home by eight o’clock tonight.”
After that, he got into the car and drove away.
After a long pause, Eudora finally came back to her senses. That was the time she realized that Amos was actually reporting his schedule to her.
Christopher and Eudora looked at each other in confusion.”What the hell is going on with you two?”
Eudora shook her head and simply replied, “I don’t know. Let’s go!”
……
Amos brought Wendy to the hospital. Her condition was not very serious, she had only suffered some minor scratches. Once the doctor bandaged her wounds, she was good to go.
Amos drove her home after that but Wendy didn’t want to let go of his hand when they arrived. “Please don’t leave. I’m really scared.”
He frowned and said, “Before I sent you to the hospital just now, you must have already heard that I’ve promised Eudora that I’ll be back by eight o’clock tonight.”
Wendy looked at Amos in a daze. She realized that Amos didn’t even want to lie to her to comfort her anymore.
Even though, he had always been that way.
“Do you hate me that much?” Wendy asked in a daze.
“No!” Amos frowned and answered aloud, “You saved my life before. There isn’t a need for us to lie to each other. I will not shirk my responsibilities. But you must remember that I still have my own family.”
“But you are the reason that I have become the way I am now. You’re having a family with another woman, but what about me?” Wendy yelled at him.
Amos was stunned, “You…”
“I don’t care!” Wendy hugged Amos as she said, “I want you to be with me. I don’t want to lie to myself. I just can’t leave you, Amos. You were the one who brought me back from the United States, so you must be responsible for me. Let’s get married, shall we? I can accept Eudora, but please don’t be so cold to me, alright?”
Wendy burst out in tears. What she said was getting more outrageous.
Amos instantly pushed her hand away and said, “You’re tired. You’d better take a break!”
After that, he called Auntie Agnes over and asked, “Where is the doctor?”
“He’s here!” Auntie Agnes replied and hurriedly called the doctor over. The doctor then injected sedatives into Wendy so that she would calm down. However, her eyes were still looking at Amos as she said in a much calmer voice, “I’m sorry. Did I say a lot of nonsense just now? I wasn’t in my right mind. I didn’t mean it. Please don’t be angry with me!”
Amos shook his head and said, “Get some rest. The design company and the professionals are all ready to be at your service. Whenever you’re ready, we can start the business.”
Wendy nodded and agreed, “Okay.”
After Amos left, Wendy pulled out the needle which was pierced into her arm. Looking at the blood on the needle, she gritted her teeth.
……
At Clearwater Bay.
At 7:59 pm, Eudora suddenly felt a little frustrated and asked for Aunt Valerie.
“Forget about it, let’s just eat by ourselves!”
Aunt Valerie wanted to persuade her but she eventually swallowed her words back.
“Okay, I’ll bring out the food then.”
As soon as she turned around, she saw a tall figure coming in from the door. Aunt Valerie was delighted and said loudly, “Sir, you’re back!”
“Yes!” Amos said as he looked at the clock above. “I’m not late.”
Eudora pressed her lips together and said, “Then let’s eat!”
“No rush!” After saying that, Amos took out a memory card from his pocket. “My whereabouts for the whole day are recorded in this card, including today’s record at Wendy’s place. All of them are stated with the relevant timestamps. You can check it at any time you like.”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Eudora said, “… I don’t want to.”
“Then I’ll put it in my drawer. You can take it whenever you feel like checking it.”
After that, he put down his coat and reached out his hand to hold her waist. “All right, it’s time to eat!”
Eudora looked at the man’s expression and couldn’t speak for a moment.
If they really have faith in each other, they wouldn’t need any of these strange little things to help them maintain the relationship. In short, he was just worried that she would overthink.
After the meal, Amos helped Eudora to wash herself and apply medicine on her wounds, like he had always did.
Back then, he would help her to freshen up too, but it was always when she was exhausted and in a daze after being intimate with him. The only time she was sober was after she had injured herself the last time. But it had been too long that she had almost forgotten about the feeling.
While she was still reminiscing the past, the man was already hugging her while she sat in the bathtub.
It was that exact feeling. Last time, she was also sitting in the bathtub while he held her in his arms, and then he would begin showering her from behind.
Eudora.
……
In the subsequent days, Eudora and Christopher continued with their plan. At the same time, the reconstruction of the warehouse had completed too. The parts that were burnt down were already repaired.
On the day of the official opening of the company, Eudora was still wondering whether she should tell Amos about it. Although he had told her that he was the real boss behind TEM Inc., it seemed that he didn’t care about it at all at this moment.
On the other hand, Eudora wished that she could share the happiness of her first achievement with a person who was important to her.
After hesitating for almost half a day, she was about to speak when Amos suddenly interrupted her, “Wendy’s design company is officially opening today. I’ll be back before nine o’clock tonight.”
Eudora’s heart, which was once filled with joy, became empty once again. She answered simply, “Okay!”
After breakfast, Amos drove her to work as usual.
Christopher had almost fully accepted that Eudora had gotten back with Amos, so he asked, “There will be a dinner party at the warehouse tonight. Why don’t you talk to President Granger and perhaps you both can come together?”
“There’s no need for that!” Eudora shook her head and turned to look at Christopher. “Why don’t we invite some reporters over?”
Christopher immediately nodded and agreed, “That’s a good idea!”
The design of the warehouse was brilliant. If it was widely promoted to the public through the media, it could definitely enhance Everpeace Group’s reputation. Perhaps it would be much easier when they look for projects in the future.
Christopher immediately called his secretary to make some arrangements. The secretary was very efficient. By the time Eudora and Christopher arrived at the warehouse, the reporters had all arrived.
The reporters were very amazed by the design of the building. “If we understand correctly, this place used to be a residential building, right? What had inspired you to redesign it into a logistics warehouse?”
Eudora smiled and looked at Christopher. He then gestured to Eudora and said softly, “Go ahead.”
Seeing that both of them were politely offering each other the opportunity to speak, a voice immediately came from the reporter group, “You two seem to be very close. Are you both a couple?”
