My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 642

"President Granger," Clint said worriedly. "You can't drink..."

The directors had drunk a lot. With the addition of Amos being polite to

them, they started to relax as well.

"Are you're treating us as outsiders, Assistant Zuckerberg? We're friends with President Granger, and we're going to work with each other in the future! If you can't even give us some leeway, why should we cooperate with you then?"

Clint replied, "I'll drink for President Granger

then. "

The men's faces suddenly darkened. "We all drink for ourselves. Why is President Granger getting special treatment then?"

"That's right. Is he looking down on us?"

"But..."

Clint was about to explain, but Amos interrupted him, "Clint, stop."

He then turned around and looked at the men. "My assistant is still inexperienced. I apologize for the disrespect. Please don't take it to heart!"

After that, he picked up his glass and downed it.

That movement opened up the wounds on his back. He frowned slightly, but the frown vanished in a flash.

After putting down the glass, Amos summoned Clint, "Come with me. Everyone, please drink up. I'll be back soon."

Outside the room, Clint had already admitted his mistake before Amos could speak.

"President Granger, it's my fault. But I'm concerned about your health. This time, you did it because of my brother's fault. I know that you punished yourself for my brother's sake, so I have to protect you. So, I don't care if you're going to blame me. I'm willing to accept any punishment..."

Amos snickered, "Alright, if everyone wants to get punished, I'm afraid that we won't have enough whips to go around! I know what you mean. I'll take good care of myself. If you don't like what you see, then wait for me outside."

Amos noticed that Clint didn't say anything. Instead, he was looking in a certain direction.

Following his gaze, Amos felt his heart skip a beat.

His woman was sitting across Fabian in one of the booths in the restaurant. Fabian was cracking the shells off the crabs for her.

She smiled and lowered her head to take a bite.

Amos clenched his hands slightly, his heart dripping with bitterness.

Clint quickly averted his gaze and said, "President Granger, it is likely that Miss George is just there out of courtesy..."

Amos chuckled darkly. He knew it best whether it was out of courtesy. If she hadn't decided to accept Fabian, she definitely wouldn't have accepted his invite.

Furthermore...

There were a bunch of red roses next to her. The petals were as red as blood, stinging his eyes.

"President Granger, how about I go to Miss George..."

"That will not be necessary!" Amos shook his head. "The guests inside are still waiting for me. I'll head in first!"

"President Granger..." Clint was displeased at the thought of Amos having to drink more. The last time he expressed dissatisfaction with Eudora was just an act between him and Amos, but this time, he really was distressed.

The others might not know it, but he had been by Amos' side from the very start. Amos truly loved Eudora to the core.

Clint knew that even if Eudora asked for Amos' heart one day, Amos would offer it to her without hesitation.

However, how could she hurt President Granger that way?

The words that Fabian uttered in Amos' office the day before still lingered in his ears. Clint felt even more discouraged as he thought about it, and he couldn't help but walk towards Eudora.

At the same time, Eudora felt slightly unnerved after taking a bite of the crab meat, so she made an excuse to go to the washroom.

Clint stopped her as soon as she came out.

Eudora paused, "What a coincidence."

Clint frowned. Although he was dissatisfied with Eudora's behavior, his face still showed respect.

He knew how precious Eudora was to Amos. He didn't want to put Mr. Granger in a difficult spot.

"It's not a coincidence. I am waiting for you." Clint said.

"Oh? Is there anything I could help you with?" Eudora asked. Although she didn't hate Clint, nor did she have any conflict of interest with him, Clint was still one of Amos' men. She didn't want to dwell in the past.

"Of course there is. Miss George, do you really intend to get together with Fabian?"

In the end, Clint couldn't hold back. His tongue was quite sharp, but he didn't cross the line.

Eudora paused for a moment before smiling, "Since you've already seen it, why did you still ask?"

"It's because I've already seen it that I had to ask. Miss George, don't you feel sorry for Mr. Granger? Do you know that, for you, he..."

"Clint!" Amos' voice suddenly bellowed from behind, interrupting him.

As soon as Eudora turned around, she saw a pair of deep eyes glaring at her.

Eudora smiled wryly. Those eyes were the eyes that had deceived her the whole time.

Amos had already walked over. He stood in front of Eudora and said in a low voice.

"Miss George, I think that you've already figured out what's going on with the Nolan family. I don't care what kind of misunderstandings you have about me, but the Nolan family isn't a good place either. Right now, the Holt family has started to go on the right path, and you will be able to open up a new future by yourself."

Eudora frowned, but all of a sudden, Amos started coughing.

Taking a good look at him, it seemed that he didn't look very well. She opened her mouth subconsciously, wanting to ask about him, but Amos explained before she could do so.

"This room was too stuffy. Clint, get the waiters to adjust the air-conditioner in the room."

Clint nodded and turned to leave.

Eudora inexplicably let out a sigh of relief. She then let out a disheartened laugh. She was too silly, wasn't she? Why did she still care about him?

She said in a low voice, "No matter which choice I make, it's my own problem. Whatever it is, I won't choose you anymore."

Amos paused for a moment, and then he said with a wry smile, "I get it."

After that, the two turned around and walked in opposite directions at the same time.

After Eudora disappeared, Amos reached out to support himself against the wall, slightly relaxing his tense back.

There was blood flowing slowly along the hem of his white shirt. Fortunately, it was a black suit, so no one could see it.

Amos washed his hands and smiled solemnly in front of the mirror.

"What a heartless fool!"

Eudora was no longer in good spirits when she returned to the table. Fabian chatted with her for a while, and upon noticing that she was a little distracted, he suggested going to the movies. At this moment, her phone rang.

Juju's soft voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mommy, when will you come back? I miss you!"

Eudora's heart relaxed as though she had found a way out that instant, "I'll go back right now."

After hanging up, she explained to Fabian awkwardly, "I've been too busy recently. I don't even have enough time to take care of my children. I'm afraid that I have to head back first."

"It's okay, I'll give you a ride," Fabian helped Eudora pick up the bouquet of roses. The two of them then went out of the restaurant one after the other.

When it was time for her to get off the car, Eudora was about to unfasten her seat belt when Fabian moved closer to her.

Eudora shifted back a little instinctively, then quickly unfastened her seat belt and got out of the car.

"We're here. Thank you for the ride."
