novelxo Chapter 199
Amos noticed that Eudora still hadn't shown up even though he was almost done with his work. Juju was also gradually becoming a little anxious. Amos frowned and asked Clint, "Is the meeting at the design department not over yet?"
Clint covered his face to not let Juju see him. "They've finished the meeting a while ago. Are you looking for Miss George? She went out with Anya." "What?! Where did they go?" Amos gnashed his teeth.
"They went to the construction site!"
Amos snorted. "This woman."
Hearing this, Juju suddenly pouted and Clint hurriedly said, "Don't cry, she'll be back soon!"
However, before he finished speaking, Amos had already scooped Juju up and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to find your Mommy."
Clint did not know what to say.
All of a sudden, he was a little envious of Juju. He thought to himself, "President Granger, you spoil her too much!"
When Juju heard that they were going to look for her Mommy, she calmed down a little. Amos quickly hugged her downstairs, and the two of them headed for the construction site.
Eudora was taking pictures of the location around her with her mobile phone as she surveyed the place. She planned to integrate the traditional architecture in the surrounding area and use the scenery as inspiration for their design.
When she was busy taking pictures, she suddenly heard one of the staff saying, "Oh my God, what did I see? Why is President Granger here?"
"He should be here for inspection, right?"
"That should be it! I didn't expect that he would pay so much attention to our project. In the past, he would only come to the site when it was almost complete, but this time, he is already here at the beginning of it!"
"So, we have to work hard. We must not let Mr. Granger down."
Contrary to the people's reaction, Eudora's mood was a little complicated. Deep down, even though everyone had assumed Amos came for the inspection of the site, she knew the true reason he was here. However, why did she had a feeling that Amos was looking at her? Moreover, he was actually approaching her.
A chill went down Eudora's spine. She hurriedly said to Anya Astor, "Let's go over there and have a look..."
Before she finished speaking, Amos' voice came from behind her. "Eudora, wait a minute."
Eudora wanted to pretend that she couldn't hear him, but her colleagues reminded her enthusiastically. "Eudora, President Granger is calling you!" At this point, she couldn't leave even if she wanted to. She could only brace herself and turn around. "President Granger."
The next second, Amos passed the child in his hand to Eudora. Everyone gasped.
And their jaws dropped to the ground.
"What's going on? Why did President Granger suddenly pass the child to Eudora? Is there something going on between them?"
Thinking of this, everyone started to look at Eudora with a changed expression. Eudora had no choice but to give Amos a pleading look, begging him to say something.
Amos felt warmth surging in his heart. She had not treated him like this in a very long time.
The anger in his heart dissipated in an instant, and he added lightly, "Hold the child for me for a minute."
It was only then that everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was just asking her to hold his child!
However, this also made everyone envious of Eudora. The child who had been in his arms for the whole morning must smell like him now, right?
This was equivalent to hugging Mr. Granger!
They were jealous out of their minds!
However, Eudora was not in the mood to think about that. She had neglected Juju for half a day. Deep down, she was very worried about her. Now that Jujuy was safely in her arms, she was relieved but also a little jealous.
Ever since Juju had Amos, she no longer wanted her Mommy.
Thinking of this, Eudora hurried to a corner with Juju in her arms and sat down while everyone followed Amos for the inspection.
She leaned down and kissed Juju's forehead. "Juju, do you miss Mommy?"
Juju nodded, but her eyes were glued on Amos' figure disappearing into the distance.
Eudora was speechless.
She had no choice but to get up again and catch up to him with Juju in her arms.
Due to Amos' unexpected arrival, everyone was in high spirits and their work efficiency also skyrocketed. Everything was already completed by the time they finished work. Eudora came to the construction site with the company's car that morning. Since she needed to bring some things home and put them in the car, there was not enough room left for her. Since it was almost time to get off work, Eudora thought it would be better to head straight home from the site, so she quickly said, "I'll take a taxi myself!"
At first, Anya wanted to follow her, but when she saw that Amos had not left yet, she immediately understood and nodded. "Then, we'll head back first!"
After watching the car drive away, Eudora went out to hail a taxi.
However, she did not realize that it was really difficult to hail a taxi in this area as it was just recently developed. Eudora waited for a long time, but not a single taxi could be seen. Just when she was at a loss, Amos drove his car over. "Get in."
Eudora pursed her lips, then suddenly Juju's lovely little face immediately appeared behind the glass. Eudora felt her heart melt. She opened the door and got in.
She held Juju in her arms, kissing and cuddling her since no one could see them.
Juju was her daughter, but yet she felt like she was doing something illegal whenever she tried to be affectionate with Juju.
Amos looked at Eudora and Juju in the rearview mirror, his gaze gradually became deeper. "No one said that you can't get close to Juju."
"What?" Eudora blurted out in surprise.
"I know. I just don't want anyone to misunderstand."
"Misunderstand what?" Amos' eyes darkened. "Are you afraid of getting involved with me? I thought that our relationship would get better after getting along with each other for the past two days." Eudora did not say anything, but the answer was obvious. The atmosphere in the car suddenly became tense. After a long time, Eudora said, "Juju has fallen asleep. Please stop in front and let us off at the side. I can go back on my own."
Amos ignored her and drove straight ahead. He didn't drop them off until he reached outside of Clearwater Bay. After that, he immediately sped away.
Eudora stared at the car as it left. After a long time, she turned around and brought Juju home.
After he had driven a distance away, Amos gave Harley a call. "Let's go out for a drink."
Harley could not believe his ears, "You want to drink? Didn't you quit drinking a few years ago? Shouldn't you be happy now that you are a Daddy?" When Amos heard the word 'Daddy', he became even angrier.
"Do you want to drink or not?"
"Yes!" Harley took down the address and then hung up the phone.
By the time he arrived, Amos had already drunk quite a bit. He was the only one in the suite, cold and lonely.
Harley was speechless. "What's the point of drinking like this? You did not even call any ladies to keep you company. You might as well drink at home then!" Amos cast a glance at him, and Harley suddenly became silent.
"Forget it, I know you can't touch women, but don't you have one at home? You should go back and have Eudora drink with you!"
Amos smiled bitterly. "What does that heartless woman know?" My goodness!
Harley grinned and thought, "This is really rare. When would I ever get the chance to see the mighty President Granger get upset over petty things like this?"
As Amos' only friend, of course, he had to take out his mobile phone and capture such a historical moment of him as a keepsake.
