My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 438

Eudora went to take a bath later that night.

She realized that her legs were swollen after taking off her clothes.

Perhaps it was due to the fact that she had been sitting in front of the laptop for too long. She knew that Amos would restrict her freedom if he got to know about it, hence she tried her best to conceal it. Eudora changed into her pajamas, coupled with a pair of trousers.

When she came out, Amos frowned.

"Why are you wearing long pants? Didn't you say that you were feeling quite warm for the past few days?"

Indeed, Eudora had become sensitive to warm temperatures ever since she had gotten pregnant. She would often wake up in the middle of the night because the room was too warm. Hence, Amos purchased silk pajamas to combat this problem.

Eudora shook her head hastily, saying, "It's not that hot tonight. I'm fine."

She immediately climbed onto the bed after that, "I'm going to sleep now!"

Amos looked at her quietly. He knew that she must be hiding something from him. However, he did not intend to expose her.

He then went to take a bath. Eudora had fallen asleep when he stepped out of the bathroom.

Amos went straight to the edge of her bed, held her feet, and lifted off her trousers.

Coincidentally, her calf was resting on a hard object on the bed, which then left a deep print on her leg. It was obvious that her legs were swollen. This little liar!

Amos' face darkened slightly. He felt a sudden urge to wake her up and give her a good scolding.

However, at this moment, Eudora, who was supposed to be asleep, smiled all of a sudden.

"Mm, my design blueprint..."

Amos pursed his lips and withdrew his hand.

He thought of what she had said before. She liked designing very much, and she had always dreamed to become a world-class design expert.

That was her dream...

What else could he do then?

Amos sighed, turned around, and took out a notebook from the drawer. It contained various notes of which he had garnered from Helen previously.

There were numerous records about normal occurrences over the course of a pregnancy. There seemed to be an entry about pregnant ladies having swollen legs in the notebook.

Amos massaged Eudora's legs according to the guidelines in the notebook.

After he was done, he put the notebook away, got up, and went back to bed.

Eudora had a sweet dream. She dreamed that she was a mermaid, living a free life in the sea. However, one day, she saw a prince. She wanted to walk alongside him, but she realized that she was just a fish. Hence, she went to find the witch. The witch told her that she would suffer if she were to become human. Moreover, her tail would turn into a pair of legs, and she would feel pain whenever she walked. Eudora finally agreed. She wanted to be with the prince.

Hence, she took the medicine that was given to her by the witch. After that, she saw as her tail turned into a pair of legs.

The witch was right. It was really uncomfortable to have legs. They were sore and she couldn't seem to walk at all.

She watched as the prince walked in front of her, but she could not seem to catch up with him no matter what she did.

She wanted to run, but she fell to the ground instead. Eudora lay prone on the ground and felt that the discomfort in her leg was gone all of a sudden. She looked up in confusion. At a glance, she saw the prince, who had come back for her. He was squatting on the ground and massaging her legs.

Her legs did not hurt anymore because of the massage from the prince. Eudora stared at him blankly as he looked at her with a smile. It was Amos' face...

Eudora opened her eyes and immediately looked to her right. Amos had already gotten up from the bed.

She lowered her head and noticed that the hem of her trousers was lifted up.

Her legs, which were swollen at first, had become much better.

Could it be that Amos had given her a massage when she was asleep?

Suddenly, she felt a little guilty. At this moment, the door was pushed open.

"Are you awake?" Amos asked. He had already changed into a business suit as he stood outside the door.

"Yes!" Eudora nodded, "Are you heading out now?"

"Yes! I'm going back to Valiant East today. Don't worry, I have already asked Charlie and Wesley to take care of you."

There was a burst of ecstasy in her heart. She cheered inwardly. If Amos was not at home, wouldn't that mean that she could work in peace throughout the day?

However, Amos seemed to have seen right through her.

"There is a surveillance camera in the study room, and I will keep my eye on you. You are not allowed to work for more than four hours during the day. Two hours in the morning, and two hours in the afternoon. I will ask Charlie to keep an eye on you at all times!" "Oh!" Eudora pouted.

Amos looked at her adorable expression and could not help but smile, "If you behave yourself, I can accompany you to work for another hour when I get home later in the evening."

That meant that she would be able to work for five hours in total. That was not a bad deal at all.

Eudora laughed and agreed instantly, "Alright!"

Amos had finally returned to Valiant East after taking a break for a few months. The company's employees had been waiting in line at the entrance since earlier that morning.

Everyone bowed to him respectfully as soon as Amos got off the car.

"President Granger, welcome back."

Amos had never liked such arrangements. He frowned. Clint whispered immediately, "It seems that it was the new Chairman who had arranged for this. President Granger, are you ready to take her on?" Amos smirked and replied, "What do you think?"

The only reason he had returned was to get even with her!

Upstairs, at the Chairman's office,

Bethany had just taken up her new post. She came to the company early that morning.

Bethany's nephew, Andrew was now the General Manager of the Project Department. Without even knocking on the door, he pushed the door open and rushed in.

"Aunt Bethany, Amos is here!"

Bethany frowned, "How many times have I told you? Don't refer to me as Aunt Bethany in the company. Address me as the Chairman."

Andrew curled his lips disapprovingly, "Chairman."

"Good!" Bethany answered. "How was the employees' greeting? Was Amos happy to see such an arrangement? Did he say anything?"

"He didn't say anything!" Andrew said, "He just went straight into the building. He should be in his office now!"

Bethany raised her eyebrows. She had known that such a small gesture wouldn't amount to anything to Amos. She then handed a contract over to Andrew.

"Didn't you say that this project is pretty good? Give it to the Amos!"

Andrew chuckled instantly. "Aunt Bethany, don't worry. I will definitely defeat Amos in less than three rounds!"

However, Bethany was not as optimistic as Andrew. She asked her assistant once Andrew left the room,

"How's Steven doing?"

The assistant answered hurriedly, "Young Master Steven hasn't been going to work at the amusement park. He didn't go home last night either. It seems that he has been staying in the hospital!"

Bethany nodded and ordered, "Keep an eye on him, especially on that Kesha girl." She had initially thought that she could defeat Steven easily with the little intelligence that he had. However, Steven seemed to have proved her wrong again and again. Bethany figured that Kesha was not simple as she looked, hence she thought of exploiting her while she still could.

The assistant nodded and left the room quickly.

Bethany then got up and walked around in her spacious office.
