My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 61

His lips brushed hers, softly and delicately. The excitement in his heart was about to explode.

Eudora's heart skipped a beat. She relaxed her tense muscles and responded to his kiss passionately.

They stopped after a while, both panting. "Don't ever leave me," he whispered.

Eudora was frozen at his words. She didn't know what he meant.

A nurse came into her room to change her bandage while she was about to clarify her doubt.

After the nurse left, he told, "See you later. I'll go out for a while."

Eudora nodded. Her head still hurt. She fell asleep again after closing her eyes.

Clint was waiting for Amos outside Eudora's room.

As soon as they got in the car, Clint updated, "The preliminary result of the police investigation shows

that the driver was fatigued while he was driving this morning, which then led to the accident. They are

closing the case soon."

Amos narrowed his eyes. His prediction was accurate.

"What about our own investigation?" He asked.

"The truck driver is a thug. He lost quite a big chunk of money to gambling a few days ago," Clint

continued, "It looks like he is connected with Thomas Shelby."

"Thomas Shelby?" Amos snorted. "Let's go."

"Where are we going?" Clint asked.

"Let's pay Thomas Shelby a visit!"

In a private room of a night club.

A sexy, hot lady was lying on Thomas' chest while he took a small sip of red wine. His hands were

caressing her body while the lady moaned softly when he pinched her butt.

The door was pushed open from the outside. Thomas looked to the door and paused.

He burst out laughing when he saw Amos.

"President Granger, to what do I owe this pleasure?" He asked.

Amos chuckled, "It looks you're expecting me."

"I know that your people have been secretly investigating me. If I didn't even know that, aren't I just

waiting to be sent to the lion's den?" Thomas teased.

Thomas was clearly threatening him although it sounded like a joke. He was a fat man and this had

always made his smile appear to be friendly and approachable.

Clint frowned. He didn't expect that Thomas would find out about it.

They had been very careful.

Amos remained quiet as he sat directly across from him. "I guess you know why I'm looking into you

then," Amos said coldly.

"Of course! One of my men ordered a thug to hit your woman. Don't worry! I've got the evidence. I'll

give it to you at any time if you want it," Thomas replied.

"Under what condition?" Amos asked. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Thomas chortled.

"I can see that you're indeed very assertive. Let's not talk about the conditions first," Thomas

continued. "We have not collaborated for a long time after you came back from the States. I am not

very happy about that. If it weren't for this girl, were you going to continue avoiding me? What

happened? Everyone said you're cold and ruthless. Is it true that you've fallen in love with this

woman?"

Thomas sounded as if he was an old friend of Amos. But Amos knew that he was trying to probe into

his secret.

Amos frowned and replied with a smile, "You should know better than me. A woman will always lose

her charm after some time."

"Really?" Thomas' eyes widened. "No one has ever seen you with a woman before. I thought that this

woman must be very different. It looks like I'm wrong. If that's the case, shall we have some fun

tonight? You can have a go on my girl!"

He signaled the woman in his arms to go to Amos.

Clint reflexively lifted his hand but withdrew it when he met Amos' gaze.

He frowned and left the room. The woman sat onto Amos's laps without a second thought. The

fragrance of her perfume floated up his nostrils. He frowned slightly as Eudora had never used perfume

before.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it, President Granger?" asked Thomas.

Amos smiled, "Of course, I do!" He wrapped the woman tightly in his arms and said, "Your girls are

amazing."

"Haha! I'm glad you like it," Thomas chuckled.

Clint suddenly barged into the room again and said, "Sir, you need to go back now. Something's

happened."

Thomas' face changed at once. "You're not going to leave now, are you? We've just started."

"Why should I?" Amos smiled and glanced at the woman. "I'm not going to waste President Shelby's

goodwill."

Thomas nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good! Let's grab a drink when you are free next time. You

can have her!"

Amos came out of the room with the woman and frowned immediately as soon as the door was closed.

Clint quickly asked and stretched out his hand, "President Granger."

Amos shook his head while the woman grabbed his arm. The three went downstairs together and got in

the car.

A man reported to Thomas a few minutes after Amos left, "He has brought that woman away." Thomas

raised his eyebrows. "It seems like I am wrong. He is indeed Amos Granger, a cold-blooded beast!"

The driver sped away after they closed the door. The woman leaned against Amos' shoulder gently.

Her beauty made such a big contrast to Thomas' fat and ugly face.

She was thinking of ways to seduce Amos as she knew that Amos was probably one of the richest

guys in the country.

"President Granger, where are we going?" She whispered in his ear.

Amos smirked, "Let's play something different."

He pulled out a piece of cloth from the back seat of the car and handed it to the woman before he

blindfolded her.

The woman responded excitedly, "Sure. That looks fun."

Amos didn't say a word. After he made sure that the woman was blindfolded properly, he ordered,

"Stop the car."

He signaled Clint with his eyes to get the woman off the car.

When Amos was the only one left in the car, he said in a hoarse voice, "To the hospital."

Eudora couldn't fall asleep as she just had a huge portion of chicken soup in the evening. So, she

decided to read a magazine to learn the latest trend of design. The magazines were brought by Aunt

Valerie after Eudora insisted her to do so. When she was about to flip the first page, the door was

pushed open.

Shocked at the loud noise, she looked up and saw Amos stumble into the room.

Aunt Valerie quickly went forward and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"

Eudora saw the rashes on his body and yelled, "Don't touch him!"

Terrified, Aunt Valerie stopped at once.

Eudora got up from the bed and held him. "What happened again?"

Valerie reminded, "Miss George, you shouldn't get up from the bed. Your wound hasn't healed yet..."

"We have no time. Hurry up and get me some hot water," Eudora interrupted.

Aunt Valerie acted instantly while Eudora laid Amos down on the sofa. His condition seemed to be

worse than his two previous episodes. He was semiconscious and could barely recognize anyone now.

Eudora slowly unbuttoned his clothes, but he kept pushing her away.

Anxious about his condition, she whispered softly into his ears, "Amos, I'm Eudora..."

"Eudora?" Amos slowly opened his eyes and took a closer look at her in relief, and finally passed out.
