Chapter 228
The girl was still beautiful even though she was weeping, and her face had turned red from crying.
His heart suddenly softened
and Christopher loosened his grip.
The girl, who was now free, quickly scrambled away from him and hid under the quilt.
Christopher could not help but laugh when he saw that the girl, who was still lively just now, was now frightened.
"Are you're scared now? Weren't you so determined earlier in the evening?"
The girl bit her lips and she remained quiet.
Christopher frowned again. He said, "Well, we haven't gotten our marriage certificate anyway. This is just a show. You can leave any time you want when your father forgives you in the future, okay?" The girl finally nodded and she seemed to be a little less angry.
She was really adorable when she smiled, just like how Eudora used to be.
Christopher's face darkened when he thought of Eudora all of a sudden. After a long pause, he asked, "What's your name?"
"Tina Holt."
Christopher nodded and he introduced himself, "My name is Christopher Gellert." "I know! I heard someone calling for you in the afternoon," she said. Her eyes were curved and she was very straightforward. At that moment, Christopher suddenly felt as though he was not alone anymore.
"Okay!" Christopher nodded and he continued, "Let's go to bed then!"
After that, he lay down on one side of the bed.
Tina looked at him warily. She only relaxed and lay down on the other side when she was certain that he was fast asleep.
Meanwhile, Juju was finally discharged from the hospital after being hospitalized for a week. Eudora took Juju back to the house that she had bought that day.
Amos followed her along the way and his face was full of resentment.
Eudora pretended to not notice. After all, she had made up her mind that she would not forgive him so easily this time.
Amos left dejectedly when he noticed that she was not planning to change her mind.
Eudora then settled Juju in bed. She had just laid down on the bed when her phone suddenly beeped.
It was a short message from Amos. "I'm on my way now. I'll be home in 20 minutes."
"Okay!" Eudora typed quickly and put her mobile phone at the bedside.
Juju had always liked listening to Eudora telling stories to her. Hence, Eudora went over to the shelf and took out a storybook. She began reading to Juju slowly when her mobile phone suddenly rang again halfway through.
The crisp ringtone of her phone sounded particularly loud in the evening. Juju, who was about to fall asleep, was awakened by the sound.
Eudora frowned and she took her phone to have a look. "I'll be home in ten minutes.1' It was a message from Amos.
Eudora was speechless.
This guy!
After that, Eudora silenced her phone and continued to recite the story to Juju.
Juju was finally fast asleep after Eudora finished the story. She then turned off the lights and lay down on the bed again.
Her mobile phone lit up once again. She took it over to have a look and she realized that there were several messages.
"I'm home. I'm a little hungry, so I'm going to cook some pasta."
"I'm full. I followed the instructions you gave when you cooked for me back then. It's tasty. Next time, I'll make some food for you and Juju."
"I've taken a shower and I'm ready to go to bed now. You and Juju should go to bed early too. Good night."
Eudora was at a loss for words.
She could not help but press the reply button. She started typing,
"Are you sick?"
However, she deleted the message after putting some thought into it. What if she woke him up and he started reporting his every movement to her again?
The next day, Eudora got up early to prepare breakfast for Juju. She then sent Juju to school. As soon as she arrived at the door, someone immediately handed her a bouquet of flowers. "Hello, Miss George. Here are the roses which Mr. Granger had prepared for you. Please sign here."
Eudora frowned. What the h*ll was this guy doing? He kept reporting on what he did the night before and he even sent flowers early in the morning.
Suddenly, her phone rang again.
She picked it up and to no one's surprise, it was another message from Amos.
"I'm awake and I'm going to work now. Have you received the flowers? I hope that you like them."
Eudora had no choice but to call him immediately.
"What the h*ll are you doing?"
Amos was taken aback and he said, "I thought you knew! Didn't you say that you wanted to see my performance? Am I doing well?"
Eudora did not know what to say.
So this was it! That day, she said that she would see his performance and decide whether or not to forgive him.
So, this was how he expressed his love!
At this moment, a man had walked over to her. He said, "Miss George, President Granger had prepared this breakfast for you. Please sign here."
Not only that, there was a car following behind her and a driver then got off the car. "Miss George, this is the furniture that President Granger had ordered for you. Please sign here."
Eudora was furious.
She gritted her teeth and growled at Amos, who was on the other side of the phone.
"I'm not satisfied!! Get all these men to leave within a minute, else I will never forgive you!"
The call was hung up immediately. Then, the deliverymen who were there to deliver flowers, breakfast, and furniture got a call at the same time.
A minute later, they disappeared without a trace.
Eudora looked at the quiet gate and she finally smiled.
Eudora said, "Okay, Juju, let's go to school!"
Juju was at a loss of words.
She was staring at Eudora's cell phone when she suddenly said.
"Mommy, the kindergarten will hold a parent-child event during Thanksgiving Day. Can you and Daddy come?"
"A parent-child event? Why didn't I know about that before?" "I fell sick before I could tell you!"
Eudora felt very guilty at the thought of Juju falling sick.
"Alright! I'll plan for something."
"It's not just you, Mommy. You need to prepare a program with Daddy. I have already told Daddy yesterday and he said that he will be free in the afternoon. The two of you have to get along with each other, okay? You can't quarrel like how you did just now!"
After that, Juju waved at Eudora and ran into her school.
Eudora was at a loss of words. Why did she feel like her daughter was betraying her?
Yet, even so, Eudora still thought about what she should do for the sake of her daughter. After thinking it through, she gave a call to Amos.
"Are you at the company? I will send you the contents of the parent-child activities now if you're not busy. We will practice on our own first and combine them during the event."
Amos was taken back. He frowned.
"I'm not at the company. I have some business meetings to attend and may not be at the company for the next two days. Why don't you come to the hotel to find me if you're free? I have two hours of rest every day. We could use that time to practice."
"What a coincidence that is," Eudora said.
"It really is. I'll send you my address right away. It's almost noon, so you should get here as soon as possible." Amos hung up the call right after. Initially, he had thought that he could win her heart over with all these little tricks, but it proved to be more difficult than that.
That woman was trying to hide from him, so he could only take the initiative.
Amos immediately said to his colleagues who were working in the company, "Let's stop here first and move to Rosaville City Hotel to continue our work."
