My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 23

Kesha George got up and slowly walked towards her sister. She clenched her teeth, "Eudora, you were already been given away to someone else. How dare you come back here? If I were you, I would rather kill myself."

Anya Astor, who had been standing Eudora George all along, stepped forward and gave Kesha a tight slap.

"Who are you? How dare you talk to Miss George like that?"

Kesha had always been a spoilt kid. This was the first time she was hit by anyone.

She was stunned for a moment before snapping back to her senses. She wanted to fight back, but Anya grabbed her hand.

Needless to say, those working for Amos Granger weren't just any ordinary commoner. Not only was Anya the top of her field, but she was also well-trained in martial arts. It was impossible for anyone to take advantage of her.

"It hurts..." Kesha thought that her arm was going to break. Anya twisted her arm and released her shortly after.

She quickly hid behind Felix Meyer and did not dare to speak again.

"This is...?" Felix looked at Anya curiously. He had been married to Eudora for the past three years but he never knew that Eudora was acquainted with someone like that.

Anya glanced at him, "I'm President Granger's assistant. My name is Anya Astor."

Felix was stunned.

"President Granger? President Granger of Valiant East Group?" Felix chuckled and turned to look at Eudora, piecing the puzzles together. "I was wondering why all of a sudden you became so confident? It seems that you got President Granger to support you huh!"

"Cut the crap!" Eudora threw the divorce agreement at Felix. "Sign it."

Felix snorted. "Why should I? You wouldn't have been able to be with President Granger if it weren't for me. I have yet to gain anything from this, and you're asking for a divorce from me? You must be kidding me!"

At this point, the only thing he cared about was the benefits he could gain from this. 'This man is unbelievable.' Eudora thought.

Eudora laughed coldly. "Flave you wondered whatever happened to your good friend, Franco Horace?"

Felix's brows frowned slightly. "Why? What did you do to him?"

Suddenly, Felix's assistant slammed the door open and rushed in. "President Meyer, something bad just happened."

"What's the matter?" Felix breathed in deeply, his eyes fixated at Eudora. "There are a lot of police officers outside!"

"What?" Felix frowned. "Eudora George, what did you do?"

Eudora sneered, "You should ask yourself that question. Maybe Franco missed you and wanted to bring you over to the station for a chat!"

"You..." Felix clenched his teeth. "Don't you think I'm going to let you off so easily. I didn't do anything wrong. Franco will not be able to convince them otherwise without proof!"

Before Felix could continue, police officers had entered the room.

"Mr. Meyer, you are suspected to be involved in a crime. Your assistance is required in the investigation. Please come with us."

Kesha stepped back subconsciously and distanced herself from Felix.

Before Felix was escorted away by the officers, he glared at Eudora. "Eudora, I'll never ever divorce you. Never!."

Eudora climbed into her car and took the back seat after leaving the Phantom Group. She was frustrated.

She couldn't believe that Felix would still refuse to divorce her after all these. Anya asked, "Miss George, may I take your home so that you can have your rest?"

"Where?" Eudora was stunned.

"President Granger has a suite in Clearwater Bay, It has been vacant for a while." "Oh!" Eudora nodded. She heard of the place before but she had never been there. Clearwater Bay had the most luxurious and high-end villas in the whole of Roseville City.

After dropping Eudora off at the suite, Anya left as she had other matters to attend to.

As she had expected, the house was humongous and exquisite. A perfect place to have an affair.1 Eudora thought.

Eudora was doing a little spring cleaning in the house when her phone suddenly rang.

"I'll be back for dinner." Amos' voice came from the other side.

"Oh!" Eudora nodded. For some reason, she felt a little nervous. "Then... what would you like to eat?"

"It's up to you!" Amos hung up the phone.

Eudora pondered for a moment. She didn't know what Amos liked to eat, so she decided to make a few dishes that she was good at. After deciding what to cook, she went out to buy the ingredients.

When she came back, Amos was already home.

Eudora stood at the door and hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open. She then stepped into the house.

Amos left his coat by the living room, but he was nowhere to be seen. Eudora went straight to the kitchen and began preparing the ingredients.

When Amos was done with his work upstairs, he came down and saw a busy figure moving around in the kitchen. He slowly walked over and leaned against the wall. The woman was wearing a casual outfit and her hair was tied loosely into a bun. Somehow the once-empty house felt like a warm home.

Eudora noticed Amos was standing behind her and tried to start a conversation, "I'm not sure if the dishes are to your liking..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as they are edible."

Food had always been the least of his priorities. So long as he was able to satisfy his hunger, he didn't care about the food he consumes. There were many other important things he ought to think about.

Eudora nodded. "Then wait for me in the living room. I'll be done soon."

"Take your time!" Amos smiled as he circled his arms around Eudora's waist. "I heard from Anya that Felix is still unwilling to sign the divorce agreement?"

Eudora's back lightly touched the man's warm chest, sending goosebumps all over her body. She shifted uncomfortably and whispered.

"I'm sorry, I will deal with it as soon as possible."

Amos didn't say anything. He rested his chin on the crook of her neck, breathing softly into her ear.

"Mr. Granger..." the intimacy was making Eudora's heart beat wildly.

"I'll ask Clint to deal with this matter. You don't have to worry about it." Amos suddenly said.

Eudora was stunned. Before she could say anything else, Amos loosened his arms around her waist. "Go to cook for me. Otherwise, I'm going to 'eat' you first."

"Oh!" Eudora nodded, noticing that something was off with him. She raised her head to look at Amos, her eyes meeting his eager ones curiously looking at the dishes she prepared. She felt the heat rise to her cheeks and she lowered her head again.

Eudora let out a sigh of relief when Amos finally stepped out of the kitchen in a visibly good mood.

After she finished cooking, the two of them sat opposite each other on the table. Eudora had been paying attention to Amos' reactions to her dishes.

As he had said earlier, he didn't really care much about food.

He ate his meal in haste. Although he had them quickly, he had them with poise and grace like a well-disciplined soldier.

Eudora was a little surprised at the little scene unraveling in front of her. 'Isn't Amos the young master of the Granger family? Why doesn't he act like one at all?' she thought.

After dinner, Amos received a call and stepped into his study room again.

Eudora finished cleaning up and sat on the sofa in the living room to rest. She dozed off after a while.

Eudora suddenly felt a pair of strong arms scooping her up and carrying her up the stairs. She then felt a warm sensation on her lips.

"Mmm..." Eudora opened her eyes and saw the man staring right into her soul.

Eudora never knew that a man's kiss could stir such feelings in her heart. Their lips were interlocked with each other's as his tongue slowly made its way into her parted lips. Eudora was intoxicated by his gentle and passionate kiss.

It felt like in heaven.
