Chapter 242
Amos burst into laughter and said, "Then let me give you a piece too, my little princess."
Juju took the piece of pancake with a smile and said, "Thank you, Daddy!"
The three of them were eating happily when the Old Master came in, "You brat, are you challenging me now? Don't you care about the company's affairs anymore?"
Amos swallowed the food in his mouth casually and said feebly, "I haven't recovered yet."
"You...." The Old Master gritted his teeth, "I have asked Doctor Leon this morning and he said that your wound has healed and there is nothing serious. What do you want? Just tell me. Don't beat around the bush like that."
Amos picked up his glass and took a sip of milk. "Let's go out and talk!"
Hearing this, Eudora George glanced at him. Amos turned to flash a smile at her. "It's alright. Wait for
me.
Amos and the Old Master were sitting across each other in the garden.
There was still contempt in the old man's face and he said, "I know what you're up to. Let me tell you, I won't let you get married to that woman. Since I'm still alive, I could still find another successor myself at most..."
"Do you still have a successor?" Amos asked pointedly and that question hit the old man's sore spot.
"You, you brat! I think you'd only be satisfied once I die!" As the Old Master spoke, he began to cough violently.
Amos frowned and he reached out to stroke the Old Master in the back. "Why are you still so grumpy at such an old age? Didn't the doctor say that you should mind your temper?"
His large hand patted Old Master Granger on his back. The old man was so shocked that he even forgot to cough.
Was Amos concerned about him just now?
The old man's expression changed slightly. He knew that he had misunderstood his son. The misunderstanding had lasted for so many years and he would never looked for Amos if his eldest son was still alive He would not have known that he had misunderstood his mother too.
Therefore, he was ashamed to even explain it to him.
He thought that Amos would never forgive him for the rest of his life. He did not expect...
After a brief moment of stupor, Old Master Granger seemed to recall something suddenly and his face darkened.
"Are you trying to please me for that woman?
Amos was at a loss of words. "If you really want to think it that way, then I have nothing to say. Do you think that I really need to rely on you? Since you have asked someone to check on me, you should know that the companies under my name are on par with Valiant East. I could just leave Rosaville City with Eudora and Juju to live our own lives."
Old Master Granger got nervous when he heard that, "How dare you!"
"Who said that I wouldn't dare?!" Amos continued, "If you keep forcing me to do this, do you think that I wouldn't do that?"
"You...." Old Master Granger was about to throw a tantrum again when Amos reached out and stroked his back. "I admit that I have come back here to spite you, but I finally understand now that I have Juju. I don't need you to accept Eudora and Juju immediately, but I hope that you could get rid of the prejudice you have and give them a chance. You will realize that they are definitely better than what you had imagined them to be."
Old Master Granger remained silent. "You want me to accept her? Impossible."
"Whatever. Things had already reached this point and I don't mind if you want me to use a more intense method. I just thought that this is the best way for us."
Old Master Granger was quiet and he glanced sideways at Amos.
In fact, Amos looked very similar to his mother, especially his appearance. It seemed like he had inherited his looks mostly from his mother. Most of the time, when he saw Amos, he seemed to see his mother sitting next to him. This was also the reason why he didn't dare to see Amos previously. He had wronged his mother and he will never have the chance to make it up to her.
Yet, his thoughts seemed to have changed when he knew that he was going to die. A good person like her must have gone to heaven. What about him? He probably wouldn't have a chance to go to heaven. When he thought about the fact he might not see her in his next life, he hoped that Amos would stay by his side, even if it was just for a short period of time.
Thinking of this, the Old Master slowly parted his lips.
"I will let them stay here, but on one condition. You can't marry her while I'm still alive. I'll just pretend that I don't see her!"
Amos burst into laughter, "What's the point of deceiving yourself like this?"
"You don't have to worry about that. Valiant East will be yours when I die. Can't you promise me that you won't marry her before I die? It will only take half a year. Can't you wait?"
The Old Master was too anxious and he accidentally revealed that he only had six months left.
Then, both of them were silent. Amos kept frowning. After a long pause, he finally repeated, "Half a year?" However, the old man merely smiled, "What? Do you feel sorry for me now?" Amos frowned, "Okay. I promise." "Okay!" Old Master Granger heaved a sigh of relief and his gaze relaxed a little relaxed as he stared at Amos.
Meanwhile, Eudora had gone downstairs with Juju because she was worried that Amos would argue with the Old Master again. Yet, she did not approach them when she saw the Old Master and Amos sitting there in the garden.
At this moment, the Old Master saw Eudora and Juju standing at the corner, and he could not help but snort.
"It's good to have a great relationship, but the company's affairs are also very important. Since you've recovered, you should go back to the company and deal with your work. I won't do anything to them since I've already promised you!"
Amos burst into laughter once again, "You really don't care about me, do you? It's only the third day since I was shot."
The Old Master rolled his eyes at him, "I think you look perfectly fine to me!"
Amos then stood up, "I'll be leaving then!"
He walked through the garden and approached Eudora and Juju.
Juju immediately jumped into Amos' arms like a small butterfly when she saw him. This lovely scene made the Old Master envious.
Yet, it was a pity that he had never had such a moment all his life.
The old man let out a sigh. The assistant behind him said, "Old Master, you are too strict to the Young Master. It was true that he had only recuperated for three days. Are you really going to let him go to the company?"
The old man laughed, "Do you think that I couldn't see through his tricks? He is determined to protect Juju and that woman. Would he be willing to really harm himself? He was just trying to scare me." The assistant was stunned, "Then you..."
Old Master Granger did not reply but merely sighed faintly.
"You young people will never understand the feelings of being a parent."
The assistant was confused. It was true that he did not understand. After all, he was not married and he did not have any children yet.
Eudora's heart skipped a beat when she spotted Juju throwing herself into Amos' arms. She said hurriedly, "Be careful."
On the other hand, Amos had already picked Juju up, "It's okay."
Juju was delighted, "Daddy, shall we go out to play?"
Amos shook his head, "Daddy has something very important to deal with. I'm afraid that Juju will have to play with Mommy first." Eudora was taken aback, "What did you promise the Old Master?"
