Chapter 67
Amos returned to the dining table after the call. Eudora was sitting there alone waiting for him.
Eudora saw the suspicion in his eyes and answered, "I declined their invitation. I told them that my
wound is not completely healed yet."
Her eyes were sparkling as if she was waiting for his compliments.
Amos sneered, "You are as clever as a fox."
Eudora pouted her lips. "If I were a fox, aren't you the big, old fox? Didn’t you just refuse..."
Eudora had been arguing with him a lot, but he liked it as she seemed to be more lively than before.
However, the term "old fox" sounded a little bit awkward.
"You’re a cunning vixen!" Amos teased.
She quickly replied, "You are a sneaky reynard!"
Amos nodded with satisfaction. "That's why we are destined to be together!"
Eudora was speechless.
She could never win against Amos.
They returned to their room in the evening. Eudora turned on her laptop to check her design drafts but
Amos turned it off without a second thought.
She went for a quick wash-up and lay in the bed while listening to the wind whistling outside the
window.
She rolled on the bed trying to fall asleep.
Bang! Eudora heard a thunderous sound from the yard. Startled, she quickly flipped the light switch.
Amos grabbed her hand and asked, "What’ s wrong?"
"Didn’t you hear it?" Eudora asked.
"What did you hear?" Amos questioned.
"That's impossible! I heard a loud bang just now!" Eudora insisted.
"You must have heard it wrong!" Amos pulled her back into his arms and said, "Let’s sleep."
Eudora didn’t feel secure and tried to get out of his arms. "I really heard it," repeated Eudora.
"Eudora, you’re playing with fire!"
His hoarse voice reminded her that she was in his arms. Her whole body froze and she stuttered, "I
don't mean... Well..."
The man’s lips met hers accurately in the dark.
Since Eudora was injured, Amos had been holding in every time he smelled her seductive scent.
Now, with her in his arms, he was going to unleash his deepest desire.
Eudora was panting heavily as Amos kissed her. She gave in to him after struggling for a while and
forgot about the loud bang she heard just now.
Amos' eyes became glassy after the kiss.
Eudora's body melted against his passionate touch, and especially after the intense kiss, her skin
glowed under the moonlight as if she was asking him not to stop.
Amos kissed her again but more gently this time while undressing himself and Eudora.
His hands slowly moved from Eudora's shoulders and to other parts of her body.
He caressed her neck, then down her spine, and eventually to her waist.
Eudora’s heart was pounding in her chest. She murmured, "It’s ticklish..."
The man’s hand paused at the unhealed scars on her waist. She had both on her forehead and waist.
The one on her waist was long and linear, like a centipede.
Eudora’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly pushed Amos away and mumbled, "Don’t look at it."
Amos, on the other hand, locked her onto the bed with his powerful grip while his fingers gently
caressed the scar repeatedly.
His face gradually darkened. He turned her around while he lowered himself to her waist and kissed on
the scar.
Eudora couldn’t resist him. His kiss was both gentle and warm.
He moved from her waist back to her lips.
His hoarse voice echoed in the room as he looked at her seriously. "Can I?"
Eudora’s mind went blank. She nodded subconsciously. The air in the room was heated at once. The
evening was bound to be a sleepless night.
Eudora woke up in the afternoon the next day. Amos wasn’t seen in the room. Her cheeks flushed at
the thought of what happened last night.
Eudora then went out of the room and enjoyed the warm breeze blowing in her face.
Amos was standing under a tree not far away. He was dressed in his light- colored casual clothes,
gorgeous as usual.
Eudora's heart beamed and she ran to him immediately.
"Amos..." She shouted.
Before she could finish her words, she saw the Old Master standing next to him. She didn't see him just
now as he was behind the tree.
When the Old Master saw her, he frowned and said, "What are you doing here? The men are talking."
Eudora didn’t want to meet the old man who always made her feel uncomfortable either. She stopped
at once.
"I’m sorry, I’m not interested in your conversation. However, you should get yourself a bodyguard if you
don’t want others to hear it,” Eudora mocked. “I will leave first as I still have other matters to attend to!" Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
She turned around and walked away immediately.
Anger poured through the Old Master. He roared, "This is outrageous! Is this her attitude when she
talks to an elder?"
Amos answered, "She’s right. You should bring two bodyguards with you next time."
"You..." The Old Master was so angry that he was lost for words. He changed the topic of conversation
and continued, "Do you really not know how your uncle got injured?"
Amos shook his head. "I don't know."
"Fine!" The Old Master grabbed his crutch angrily. "I'll go and see him!"
Eudora walked around with her camera.
She found both the statue of Jesus and the scenery behind the church magnificent.
As she was taking a photo, she heard footsteps from her back. She turned around and saw Amos
walking towards her from a turmeric flower field. It was so picturesque as if he was walking out of a
painting.
Eudora quickly captured the beautiful moment with her camera.
Amos took her camera away while she asked, "Are you done talking with the Old Master?"
Amos smiled. "Are you still upset?"
"Why should I? I know that he doesn't like me. On top of that, I think he would be more upset at me,"
Eudora replied.
“You’ re getting more eloquent!" Amos grinned helplessly. "My uncle is injured. He is here to see him!"
"Hmm?" Eudora’s jaw dropped a little. "He was just fine yesterday. Could it be related to the loud bang I
heard last night?"
Amos chose not to answer and just held her hand.
In the room, Harry lay in bed after being treated.
Kaylene looked at him worriedly. "How come the stone would fall down all of a sudden? Fortunately,
your injury is not that bad."
"Enough!" Agitated, Harry shouted, "How's the preparation for our deal this afternoon?"
"The money is ready, but how are you going to go? Besides, I don’t know the purpose of your brother
being here. Should we postpone the deal?” Kaylene replied.
