Chapter 115 Feeding
Their interaction seemed a little intimate. Amos Granger subconsciously wanted to push the door open, but he suddenly remembered something and halted his steps.
It was not until Clint Zuckerberg had called him again that Amos had turned around and left.
After changing his clothes in his car and refreshing himself, Amos made his way back to Eudora George’s ward.
It was apparent that the meal was over, and Christopher Gellert was chatting with Eudora. When he entered the ward, both of them immediately stopped talking.
Christopher, in particular, immediately stood up vigilantly, looking like an opponent ready for battle.
Amos was not angry, instead, he just smiled faintly. “You’re here, Mr. Gellert.”
Christopher glowered and said, “Amos, you still have the nerve to come here?”
Amos raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why would I not have the nerve to be here?”
“Because of you, Eudora is in this state. Don’t try to pretend to be the good guy here.”
Amos pursed his lips and said, “This matter is between me and my fiancee…”
At that instant, Christopher refuted, “What are you talking about? You two have already broken up!”
As Amos remained silent, Christopher turned to look at Eudora and said, “Eudora, say something!”
Eudora glanced at Amos and noticed that from the beginning till now, there was a determined look on his face which reminded her of the time when he had wanted her to be with him.
“Christopher, shouldn’t you go back soon?” Eudora said. After all, this was between her and Amos.
Although Christopher was reluctant to leave, when he saw that Eudora was firm about this, he nodded.
“I’ll be going then. Call me immediately if you need any help.”
“Okay!” Eudora nodded.
After Christopher left, Eudora turned to Amos and said, “Mr. Granger, I think I have made myself very clear…”
“Yes!” Amos nodded.
“Then why did you still say those words?”
“Because I don’t agree to it.” Amos added, “I want to take back what I’ve said. I want you to stay by my side.”
“You are so shameless!” Eudora gnashed her teeth.
“Whatever you say!” Amos laughed. “As long as you’re willing to stay with me, you can say whatever you want.”
His words made her lose her temper, so she had no choice but to be honest with him.
“It’s pointless now. I don’t love you anymore, Amos.”
Amos smiled and said, “You’re lying. You’re such a shameless liar.”
“I am not lying!” Eudora gritted her teeth.
“Then why do you still keep the ring that I gave you and place it with your mother’s relics?” Amos said, as he fished out a necklace from his pocket and handed it to Eudora.
Eudora reached out and snatched it from his hand, saying, “I… I placed it there a long time ago, and I have just forgotten to take it off.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, she immediately unhooked the necklace, took the ring off it and threw it on the floor.
Amos’ eyes dimmed slightly. He went over and bent down to pick it up. “Even if you had forgotten about this, then why were you still willing to sacrifice your life to save me when we were in the warehouse?”
“I’ve said it before, that is a repayment. You took a dagger for me, so I’ll snap the rope for you. No one owes anyone anything!”
“No!” Amos gnashed his teeth. “You owe me a child! You promised me that you would bear a child for me.”
As he spoke, he suddenly leaned forward, and his large palm went under the quilt and stroked her belly. His fingers were so cold that she had goosebumps all over her.
Eudora struggled. “Amos, what are you doing?”
“I am touching our child! You have promised to give birth to a baby for me. If you must leave, then give birth to a baby before you leave!”
“That’s impossible!” Eudora gritted her teeth. “I’ve also said that my child will be born into a family which is full of love. Now that I know I will end up leaving the child behind, I will definitely not give birth to a child for you.”
“You have no say in this matter.” Amos said coldly.
“Then try me!” Eudora was unbending.
She was always so stubborn, leaving others with no choice.
In the end, Amos resorted to his last bargaining chip. “Have you never doubted why TEM Inc had taken an interest in Everpeace Group?”
Eudora was dumbfounded. “What are you saying?”
Amos didn’t say anything, but Eudora’s eyes were already wide open. “You knew the people from TEM Inc?”
“You could say so.”
“So, you were the one who had interfered with the purchase of Everpeace Group?”
Upon hearing this, Amos’ eyes dimmed a little. “Have I become the bad person in your eyes?”
Eudora pursed her lips. “Is that not so? You’re threatening me now.”
“Ha!” He chuckled. “Since you have said so, then so be it! I’m officially telling you that I am the President of TEM Inc, and I’ve taken over Everpeace Group. If you don’t want Christopher’s painstaking efforts to go down the drain, then you’ll have to listen to me and stay by my side.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Eudora was stunned. When Amos was talking about TEM Inc just now, she had only assumed that he knew TEM Inc’s boss. After all, he used to live in the United States.
But now, it turned out that he was the real boss of TEM Inc.
When she finally realized everything, she felt like she had never truly known Amos. What kind of person was he?
After a long pause, she finally spoke.
“What’s the point of keeping me by your side?”
“I don’t care!” Amos seemed to have lost his patience. “This is your only choice. Stay by my side and bear a child for me.”
After he had finished saying what he wanted to say, he got up and stormed out of the ward.
Eudora sat there dejectedly. She still couldn’t come back to her senses after a long time.
It was already night time when she woke up again. Aunt Valerie came in with a lunch box. She looked distressed when she saw Eudora lying on the bed.
“It’s only been a few days since we last saw each other and you’ve already lost so much weight. On top of that, you’ve even injured yourself.”
“Why have you come, Aunt Valerie?” Eudora asked.
“Sir asked me to come over! He said that you were in the hospital, so he had asked me to prepare some food for you.” As she finished explaining, she took out some dishes from the basket that she had brought along with her.
“You can’t move freely for the time being, so I’ll feed you.”
While Aunt Valerie was still talking, Amos returned to the ward. He took the spoon that Aunt Valerie’s holding in her hand and said, “You can go back now. Don’t worry, I’ll feed her.”
Aunt Valerie was happy to see that their relationship had gotten a lot better. She nodded immediately. “Then I’ll get going now! I’ll come again tomorrow morning to deliver some food.”
She left as soon as she finished her words.
Amos patiently held up the bowl of soup. Then he scooped a spoonful of the soup and brought it close to Eudora’s mouth. However, Eudora was pressing her lips tightly together and did not say a word.
Amos was not angry. After a short pause, he retrieved the spoon and said slowly.
“I saw Christopher feeding you earlier.”
Eudora’s heart tightened, but after a while, she nodded deliberately. “So what?”
“Nothing at all!” Amos said with a smile.
He then picked up the bowl of soup, and took a sip of it. In the very next second, he reached out and grasped the back of Eudora’s head, and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips.
Before Eudora could react, she had already been ravished, and she could feel the warm soup slowly sliding down from his tongue, and into her mouth.
Even after she had swallowed the soup, he was still holding on to her. He fervently brushed his lips on hers for a long time, before letting her go.
At this moment, her cheeks had already turned red, and it was getting harder for her to breathe.
